The Proudest Moment of My Life
Under the dark frigid night of the tenebrous Saturday in the tumultuous city of Las Vegas .Along with my chum were walking in midst of the street. Made an effort and glimpsed at the clock tower and OH! It is almost 8:00pm. The football match was supposed to be at 8:15pm “I exclaimed”. A bit of shivering from cold with both of our hands in the pocket starring at the exquisite sky. It was strewn with full of gaily twinkling stars. The Milky Way was as bright as if it has been washed and scrubbed with snow. The tickets were still in my pockets “I checked”. We had still 15 minutes to spare until the affectionate match we were wailing for to begin. In the mean time we were reminiscing
And what moment they were. In about 5 minutes later it was becoming more like a blazing of a sun rather than arctic. We were not more than 100 meters away from the stadium. I could easily see the stadium with my bare eyes. I was peering at the stadium and I saw that amuck of black fumes were arising. I was certainly held by a strong impulse. I couldn’t move an inch after hearing the shout of people inside crying for help. I was dazed and timid but thanks to my friend he encouraged me and we both rushed in there indecisively. I was perturbed and I could see it on my best friends face too. With the stadium engulfed in the massacre flame we were imprudent and were only looking for survivors around with the risk of our lives on our shoulders. I was sweating like hell and even my shoes were becoming dilapidated. The flames were inevitable once we are ahead of it there was no turning back. I a sudden a piece of wood fell on the leg of my friend obscurely. The strain on my head was increasing and my friend was whinnying full of pain. I was able to take some survivors out of the stadium. In the mean time my friend was still trapped under that wood and I wasn’t able to lift that piece of wood up. He told me that he can’t

    “After the December snows were over, a blazing blue sky poured down torrents of light and air on the white landscape, which gave them back an intenser glitter. One would have supposed that such an atmosphere must quicken the emotions as well as the blood; but it seemed to produce no change except that of retarding still more the sluggish pulse of Starkfield.” (pg. 7-8)…

    Outside the Coliseum is the diehard, devoted fan base. At 7 am the parking lot is filled with diehard fans that come early to tailgate prior to the game. As you make your way to the entrance of the Coliseum the spices and smell of perfectly seasoned food attacks your senses. You can’t help but notice the camaraderie and friendships formed while the alcohol flows. It is in the parking lot you see the dedication and years of loyalty displayed by its fans. In the front row nearest to the stadium stands the most dedicated fan. An older man, scruffy looking stands next to his Winnebago. He is dressed in the traditional garbs for the day. His Winnebago is covered from front to back in Cardinal and Gold; from his speakers blares the schools song ‘Fight On’. Walking by he gives you the greeting of the day ‘Fight on’ and talks about the upcoming slaughter that is to commence…

    Dad said midnight and unless Darrell could fly, I was headed for real trouble. Darrell and I chose to go to county fair and like every cliché couple, we had it set to go at sundown in order to get the perfect Instagram post. Luminous pinks, yellows, and blues sparkled a mile out as we caught our exit to enter the fair grounds. Vibrations under our toes grew heavier and heavier as we got closer to the entrance and with a $12 stamp on our right hand we ventured out on running feet. We spent our night soaring high and low with dangling feet, carrying weightless bags of fluffy, crystallized sugar as heavy gusts of wind hosed us leaving the aroma of fresh, crisp funnel cakes. Captivated by parading aisles of games had us lose complete track of time.…

    The stadium was filled to full capacity with women, men, and children. I could not spot an empty seat in the place. Many spectators were dressed in colors of black, blue, and gold. However, the overall majority of the crowd was dressed in black and red. After the singing of the National Anthem, the football teams flooded the field in grandiose fashion. The crowd became ecstatic. The fans were cheering so loud that neither my girlfriend nor I could hear each other. The first quarter of the game seemed rather dull and mediocre, however by the second quarter, things had become incredibly intense. At the commencement of the second quarter, I could see athletes perform almost superhuman feats such as running, jumping, and throwing. The athletes appeared to be demigods with helmets and modern day gladiators. One player got hit so hard that he was carted off the field. Nonetheless, the game continued without a skipping a beat. During the second quarter, fans continued to cheer and chant for their teams. As the masses roared, the players responded by playing more aggressively. As the game went on, each team proved to be a force to be reckoned with. Each time one team scored, the other team replied with a score of their own. The back and forth scoring kept the fans on edge and tense. By the end of the second quarter, the game had become tied with only the second half…

    It was a frigid, windy, Friday night in October. The only light was the bright and beaming illumination of the stadium lights projecting over the soccer field. The bleachers were full, it seemed as if the whole school was there, and as a freshman with anxiety, it made it hard to cope with the fact, that I was going to be a starter for the varsity soccer team.…

    The sky was nice and clear. It wasn’t too hot or too cold. It was perfect. It was a typical third grade day. My friends and I were in recess, goofing around, having fun. We sat on the benches and joked around. Next thing I knew my friend was on my back and I was carrying him around. Not aware of my surroundings, I tripped over a bench, closed my eyes, braced for impact, and fell face first into the dirt. I got up feeling dazed and the first thing I hear is a scream. Confused, I looked over to my friend and her face was a mixture of scared and shocked. I saw friends run to the restroom to get me paper towels, but others told me to go to the office. As I walked to the office, I began to feel pain in my lip. I walked into the office speechless.…

    The clock above my head ticks slowly, the sound ever increasing as the minutes pass by; tick, tick, tick. I normally do not notice the time while I work, usually I am the energizer bunny of workers, in early, out late, always working or willing to, but that day was different; I had a date; a first date to be exact. Finally the time has come for me to go home; I step out into the warm Vegas air, I can smell the familiar scents of fall slowly encroaching on the city. September in Vegas is typically warm, with the average daily temperatures in the upper nineties. I lite a cigarette and walk through the parking garage to my car. My mind was racing; what will he be like, will he be funny, boring; I even allow my thoughts to drift to what he would look like naked.…

    Walking out of the parking lot was very confusing and tiring. Once we exited the parking lot I was amazed to see the amount of people gathered there to witness the spectacle of this very exciting sporting event. Seeing the amount of people wearing green, white, and red supporting the Mexico national team made me feel proud. But, at the same time seeing all the Bosnian fans wearing blue, gold, and white made me feel intimidated. We proceeded along the walkway towards the entrance of the colosseum. On our way there we could see people tailgating. The smell of hot dogs and burgers being grilled tickled my nose and enticed my senses.…

A few minutes later the fans started to roar. I felt like I had butterflies in my stomach. I couldn’t…

    Country concert

    The buildup of the date of the concert was almost torture, but when it finally came I felt as if the bricks building up to this day had come crashing down in the best way. I had woken up that day with so much to do and finally realized that there are not enough hours in a day, nor were there enough clothes in my closet. The heat was brutal, along with furiously running around preparing, I felt as if I could not escape it continuously using my hands as personal fans I got ready for this concert all day. My bathroom ended up looking as if I was painting a masterpiece with the red, tan and blue powdery makeup I owned. It was a perfect day to roll the windows down and listen to all the songs going to be played that night, sitting through traffic is not half as bad when you see the cowboy hats and American flags,“Country music is the poetry of the American spirit.”(Maraboli, S), you know the person in the car over is about to have the time of their lives, as was I. The traffic cones and blue flashing lights filled the streets to the stadium, as well as the poorly marked, dirt parking lots. You could hear the radios playing all the songs you were going to hear that night trying to figure out which one to listen to. The smell was almost as if your whole neighborhood was having a barbecue. Tailgating and seeing all the people who were so ready to get into the…
