Crown Center: A Short Story
One day where the sun was shining, with perfect weather during the Summer, my parents had decided on this day, that we were going downtown to go to the Sea Life Aquarium in Crown Center. After about 15 minutes, we had arrived at our destination. After we had gotten out of our dirty, blue car, we went inside and went to pay for our tickets. When we got our tickets, the worker showed us where to go, and when she opened the door, I noticed a lot of people surrounding the different types of sections. There was also this activity where every station we went to, we had to stamp it in our booklets. It had pictures depending on what area we are arriving in.
After about five more stations, my sister and I had gotten under a hallway where if you look

My sister didn’t answer me because she was dying of laughter. “Stop laughing at me!” I ran away and then I saw one of my favorite sea creatures, a seahorse.

I just stood there, looking at the seahorses, there so pretty and elegant, I thought to myself, until I heard someone saying,”Mandy, where are you?” It was my mom calling my name.
“I’m coming!” I exclaimed. Before I had left, I took pictures of the seahorses, and also took videos of them going to other seahorses. When I tried finding my mom, she was on a balcony with the rest of my family.
“Over here!” My sister said.. I went up to the balcony, but as soon as I got there, I was terrified one again. I was absolutely terrified of being over or above anything. Something that was even more scarier, was that we were above a fish tank, so we could easily fall. Luckily, there were handles. After we got off, our trip was sadly ending. At the end, there was a souvenir shop. My sister got a snow globe with two striped fishes swimming around, and I got a key chain of a dolphin with blue, green, and purple colored over it. That was a really fun trip, one of the funnest trips I had ever

    I almost fell right out of the canoe I was so startled. I casted my line right where I heard the splash and not ten seconds after, I saw a fish jump right out of the water and take my fly. It tug so hard the whole way i was reeling it in and i thought it was going to break but luckily I was able to get the fish to the boat. It was the biggest fish i’ve ever caught and even seen in real life. My dad tried to take a picture of my catch, before he could get the camera out, the fish slipped out of my hand and plopped into the water. That whole night was filled with fishing. I caught at least a dozen more, while my dad only caught three. On our way back to the cabin I told my dad,”That was seriously funny that i caught more fish than you and you’ve been here many more times than I have.”…

    For twelve years I got to see everything she did. We went to Disneyland once! It was awesome! My favorite ride was Splash Mountain. First, we went into the boat thing. Markie was in front of us and Randall behind us. They are her brothers. We creaked up the slope and turned left. We went to the right and through a short tunnel. Small figures were everywhere, as we slowly went up a steep hill. When we got to the top water was all over the place. I had wondered why. KA-BOOM!!!!!!! We were going down the biggest hill ever! Water was getting in my hair. Markie, Lisa, and Randall were screaming at the top of their lungs. Thirty feet, twenty feet ten feet, SPLASH!!!! I got so wet, that I wouldn’t have to take bath for a month! The water was up to Lisa’s feet in the boat. It was slow for the rest of the ride, but there was a lot of chatter going on, but mom ands dad looked scared. “Want to go on It’s a small world?” asked Helen. Melvin just nodded.…

    Once upon a time deep inside the sea, there existed a king who had a beautiful daughter by the name Plankton who had green hair. Her large eyes which she had inherited from her grandmother sparkled with excitement from the sea. Plankton liked to take a walk along the sea greeting the sun and having a chat with the sea. Being the daughter of the king, she did not fear to ask favors from her dad whom she knew would provide anything at her request. Every time she felt like going on a tour around the sea waters she would just request for guards to escort her to the sea as she gets to enjoy the company and the beauty of the currents and the charming sunlight.…

    A dozen squealing, laughing little girls tugged my arms, legs and hands. They were so excited to show me their bedroom. Meeting all the orphans at the Colima, Mexico orphanage was very overwhelming and very emotional. At first, I felt very out of place, like seeing grass during a Michigan winter. All these kids surrounding me right now have no families and have nobody to love them. These kids were all beautiful in their own way and really knew how to make you smile without even trying.They were like flowers in a rundown parking lot. Beautiful but with a dark, sad background. Everytime they looked at you, you could see the excitement in their eyes.…

    During the summer before my sophomore year in high school my father had to relocate to Chicago for one year that gave us an opportunity to live there. We moved in August into a northern section of the city, Lincoln Park. Moving to Chicago was an exciting opportunity to live in a big city. Since I never lived in a big city, I was not really sure what to expect. The school where my brother and I were enrolled is Jones College Prep. In comparison to Lincoln Park, a residential area in the north section of Chicago, Jones College Prep was in the South Loop, a very busy downtown area of the City. Instead of mom driving us to school every day, we hopped on the Redline L-train and for 23 minutes each way travelled above and…

    “Really?” I wanted to come up with something more extravagant and complicated. I stared at her for what seems like hours, but only is meer milliseconds. I turn around and race out of the bathroom, looking back at the sign she checked to make sure I was in the right restroom. I run past the bar hearing the drunk people cackle after downing shots of hard liquor. I race up the stairs. My vision is blurred from the tears forming in my eyes. The lights seem to have darken. Quickly, I wiped the tears from my eyes, restoring my vision. After my long search, I found my family, sitting at a table in the corner of the room. I ran into my mom’s arms. She was confused but still embraced me not knowing the reason for my sadness.…
