Personal Writing: Significant Experience That Has Special Meaning
.... Lauren (as far
as she was concerned) had always been top priority in the O'Steen castle
(if asking the rest of her family, they probably would have chosen "high
mantinance" as a far more appropriate term).
Then, after seventeen and a half years, the day finally came for
Princess Lauren to leave home in order to further her education. As she was
preparing for this day, she began to realize that her life, as she had

power this book has over people. I can not stop you from taking this book,
but I can warn you. Today is July 17th, now, I open the book to the first
page and I can see what is in store for you today. Now, everyone in town
can look to see what was in story for them on that day and that day only.
Anyone who goes past the page with the same date as that day will not like

.... they had the best beaches you could imagine.
The water was so clear and the sand was so white and soft it felt like a

you at all it was just like the sand on the beach. It was lots of fun.

Personal Writing: Boot Camp

forced to do more.
You are probably asking, why didn't they just stop and refuse to do
the pushups? The answer is because your parents paid a lot of money for
you to go to this program. A fee of about five hundred dollars all
together. That money is for the uniforms, bus ride, reserved tickets for
the bunks, and money needed when on the base.
After that the worn out bus load was escorted to a room with other
cadets from other cities. All together there was about four hundred kids
from a .....

haunted my slumber earlier.
At this point madness must have surged through my blood for before
I understood what was happening I found myself staring at the rickety old
sign at the border of our town which read Melas. As I came nearer to the

it did not. The truth is that the throbbing increased to what I can only
describe as a cranial vibration. This timbre was not painful, however, nor
