Cars and Coffee

A compelling moment from my education I would say would have been anytime during Marching Band Season. I learned a lot about how much effort it takes to juggle all of your regular classes as well as an extracurricular activity. I did have band class during the day as well so I would also consider it a normal class. I made many friends and also made enemies. The part that compelled me would be the fact of being able to make beautiful music and make it sound amazing with a group of people.  There were moments on the field where we were competing and there was a moment in the song "Dust in the Wind"  where there was a climactic part of the song that gave everyone chills that you were hard to recreate. That moment I realized how lucky I was to be a part of a team that worked together so well. Marching band was never the same after that year, being it was my first. I was with my brother and all of his friends and of course a crush that I had for many years that never saw me as a ...

This summer, I had a very exciting time with my family. That exciting time being when my boyfriend and brother almost drowned in the ocean. My vacation began after I was done with work on Saturday. I went to get all of the necessities for the beach. Board games, snacks, that sort of important thing. We left on Sunday around 10:00 in the morning. We went to my brother Marine family day at his base, then went on our way to the Outer Banks. It was about a 10 hour drive there with few stops. When we got there it was about 3 am and I just wanted to go for a walk on the beach but everyone else is lame and didn't want to go. That week was awesome, lots adult beverages and peel and eat shrimp that makes your mouth water. It was a normal relaxing vacation until one of those days we went into the water like normal but came out different than before. My boyfriend was a bit leery of the ocean since he had never been in it much. I didn't want to pressure him but when my brother came out wi...

I could name endless things of something important to me that happened to me in a car. I can't name any specific moment that it would be, but it would be the moment that realized how important that they are in my life. Maybe even more specifically the moment that I first felt speed in a car. In one of these moments I felt that I was one with the vehicle. It wasn't a moment that I was necessarily driving, maybe I was. One day I just realized that this is something that changed my life, that I created another passion. I had always loved cars/trucks but there was a time when I just literally felt a need for speed. I don't mean going 200 mph, but how fast can you get to 90 mph. I feel a rush of adrenaline. I can hear my heart beating in my ears and my hands become sweaty and shaky, I can never get enough. I can't get enough of the speed and the passion and the people you meet. I can never get enough joy out of driving a car or being in the car while someone is driving it. ...
