The Wishing Place

 Ahh. You take a deep breath, and look around. The room, unlike any other that you have ever been
in, smells of tropical flowers. Trees grow around every side and sport every fruit- even ones that
grow on bushes. The ceiling, if there is one, is sky blue, sunlight streams in and illuminates
everything. In the middle of the room there is a crystal clear lake that shimmers. Fish swim around in
it, and the is a beach with white sand bordering it. Along one wall is a waterfall, spraying a mist on all
the people who near it. There is the beginning  of a mountain in one of the corners, and even though
you can see it to the top, you can only climb about half way up. Birds fly around, and monkeys swing
from branch to branch. It is the most amazing place in the world. “Hello? Are you still with us?”. The
calls of the librarian snap you back into attention. The wonderful world slowly disappears and is
replaced with fluorescent lighting and the bland tables, chair and bookcases. Your classmates are all
snickering. If only they knew where you had been…

8 Tips and Tricks for Seaworld Orlando

-
This week on Monday I got the chance to experience Seaworld Orlando for the first time, and it was awesome. However, I did learn several things, so I shall share them with you so your trip is not as crazy (in a bad way) as ours! Number One:  If you are going in the summer, and have two day or stay long tickets (which we did) I would suggest going to the Summer Nighttime Event, Electic Ocean, the night before your all day trip. The reason why is because you can get a little bit of understanding of the park before you have to hit the ground running the first day, and after a long day in the heat, you will not want to stay to see the fireworks (which are awesome) at 9:30. Trust me, this is what we did, and it totally took a lot of stress off our trip. Number Two: Seaworld, unlike some other parks, allows water bottles (one per person), snack-sized items (unless you have a dietary need, then you can bring what you need), and coolers under a certain inch limit. However, they do ask that

Sitting in the back of class An outcast I reminisce about the days untold Truths and lies all in a fold For sitting here Playing with a strand of hair I realize that it's all there The good The bad The honestly sad The past two years have been a bless I wouldn't trade them for anything But now its time to say goodbye And end everything But no- That's not true- I'll still be there cheering for you Through the concerts Through the door I'll be there..

The Secret Beach

-
Esmeralda runs out of her house, arms flying behind her, glad to be free from homework. Up the hill in her backyard, at the top, she comes to a stop. It's her secret place, a place no one else knew about. If they did, she would never be alone up here again. The reason why is because this place, at the top of her hill, was beautiful. A long, white beach went down maybe one hundred feet, or more, boulders at either side of the beach blocking anyone from seeing the magic beyond. Following the white sand comes a crystal clear ocean. The sun is warm and makes Esmeralda feel as though she is glowing. After picking out some flat rocks, and laying them on another, bigger rock, she runs down to the body of water, not bothering to take her shoes off because, well, she didn't have any on. Splashing and jumping in the warm waters, she soon got bored of it. As always when this happened, she ran to the beach again and quickly climbed to the top of the boulders. Most people wo
