Showing vs. Telling
1. The room was a mess.
- It was a disaster of a room. There were heaps of inanimate objects strewn across the room. I couldn't decipher what was what. The room was an eye sore to look at.
2. I was surprised.
- I was in utter shock. My eyes popped right out of my eyes, and my mouth was open as wide as the sea is big. I was at a lost for words.

10 Events in My Life
1) When I was about 5 years old the skin on my ears grew over my earring because I never took them out, and my dad had to peel the skin off and all I remember was there was blood everywhere, I was crying and screaming the whole time, and that it hurt really, really bad.
2) When I was in 5th grade, my grandma, the only grandparent I ever knew, died.
3) The day my best friend since the day I was born moved to Brookfield. I hardly see her anymore.
4) 8th grade class trip for D.C.
5) 8th grade graduation.
6) The weekend my family and I had to move out of the house I had lived in for 14 years.
7) The day I made varsity volleyball as a freshman.
8) My first day of high school. We were still moving the day I started and I was stressed out about that, I was stressing about volleyball and starting high school was something totally new and strange to me.
9) My very first volleyball game on varsity. I started! (and we won)
10) Freshman retreat. One of the greatest experiences of my life.

Six Months to Live
If I only had six months to live, I would do everything that I've never done before. I would keep parts of my life the same, but change other parts about it. I would definitely want to skydive, scuba dive (even though I'm terrifed of open water), rock climb and maybe even backpack across Europe. The one thing I would for sure want to do would be to travel the world. I want to visit every single place that has ever existed. I would try all new foods and experience things I've never experienced before. If I only had six months to live, I would do everything.
