... to America. According to one tape I have, that my mother gave me. She said that the oldest child stayed in Sweden. I am not sure. Yet on another tape my Mother said that he had 5 sisters and no brothers that were living. There may have been one who stayed in Sweden, the oldest. Now I do not remember all the first names of his sisters. Terry Johnson Rierson came to America first. She actually was sent for by her husband who lived in Wisconsin working in a mill. They were married in Wisconsin. After he died and she had come to Idaho she then married Rierson. Anna Dalberg, Emma Swanson then two sisters ...

... only four weeks earlier, but I had already missed her greatly. We had been friends since the 9th grade. In the beginning we were enemies; we hated each other. Oh, how we fought! One time she accused me of taking her purse, knowing what a notorious prankster I was, even though I had no idea what she was talking about. Later she found her purse in her friends locker. It seems she had forgotten she had put it there. This turned out to be the first, but not the last, accident that would occur. What didn't we argue about? After about, four years, we became the best friends ever. We were perfectly compatible w ...

... of the hallway are covered with expensive paintings. To the left of the bottom of the staircase is the entrance to the living room. The furniture in the living room is made of black leather that catches the reflection of the burning fire in the fire place positioned in the center of the wall. At the end of the stairs you see a large wooden door, as you open it, you find yourself in a gigantic library. All of the books are placed in alphabetical order and contain most of the topics. To the left of the library there are countless doors on both sides of the hallway. Each door is the entrance to a room that is made for ...

... missed the car, which was true. Just then his buddy from inside the car asks me if I have a problem. I say no I don't but I would if there was pee on my car. What? He says. I said it's cool, there's no pee on my car, it's pretty damn disrespectful to be pissin' on someone's car. And with that it was over I walked away with Ryan (who had joined me) back to his car. On the way over to his car I mentioned to him how I wouldn't have had that attitude with they guy if we hadn't seen that type of movie. I guess the fellow in the car still thought I had a problem because he pulled his truck up, got out, and got up in my ...

... creeps into the corner of my eye while I inspect my shoes. I scrub the soles back and forth on the pavement, out of habit, to insure a dry surface. I don't bother to watch him. I can hear him rolling smoothly down low. His slow, relaxed warm up run tells me he probably arrived short time ago. He makes his way up the back wall and his wheels go silent. The other one puts his foot on his tail and effortlessly rolls his truck over the coping. I watch him quickly drop away and coast to the hip. He glides past it, and I start to notice the entire view before me as he blends into a larger picture. I see grey. ...

... into nothing and something pushing it in. They change their course and follow the sun. As they get there, they realize that they are also being pulled in along with the sun and that their decision is at this point irrevocable. The funny thing was that the sun emanated no heat and that the moon started to glow much brighter than normal. It turns out that the moon was now supplying the earth with the heat that was needed to keep most happy. The sun, and both ships are now closed up in the thing and are increasing their velocity as they head for some minuscule object way in the distance. The team of explor ...

What is this mysterious characteristic you ask?, almost every day when Rich finished with the tyranny of school he went home to practice the main ceremony to this "secret life." He would get comfortable turn on the TV or radio and become an instant celebrity around the world. Ri ch was a computer "hacker."

... the kitchen and snatched my lunch box off the counter. Soon I was out the door and on to face my first day at my new school. After defeating the labyrinth of streets that we call our neighborhood, and meeting my first crossing guard; I made my way into the school. It was quite crowded , but I knew where I was headed. I proceeded up the stairs and down the hall to room 212, where I sat down in the front row. I turned around and took a quick peak at the class; scanning the room for someone to talk to. When I saw no opportunities I began to get a bit timid, but as soon as the bell rang I felt all right. We wen ...

... and gown. The principal, Mr. James Cavallo, called out everyone’s name and proceeded to hand them their cap and gown. When he finally handed me my gown I quickly took it and sat to me admire it. Its funny how the simplest things can symbolize a whole new beginning. I sat and looked at this ugly maroon gown with this weird looking square hat. The ceremonies were to be held at the Mullins Center on the campus of the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. The ceremonies were to begin at 7:00p.m., yet I had to be there at 6:00p.m.. When everyone arrived we rehearsed on how we were to walk in and where we wer ...

... smiled and flashed the six gold’s that covered his front teeth. Local kids lined up on the side of the street, chasing down cars that rolled by. One lonely six-year-old boy, sat close to a tree rapidly banging nails in the roots. Lying face down, one kid pretended he was swimming in the dirt. He jumped up and raised both hands in excitement, as if he had won the gold medal for dirt swimming in the 2000 Ghetto Olympics. Teenage girls lined up like militant soldiers moving in the same sequence to B.G.’s “Bling-Bling� Everyone looked up and stared as the very noticeable squad car crept by, hoping to sha ...
