My first Love

My first Love By Charles Rachel My girlfriend all throughout school was Aimee Buswell. In fact, I often think of her even today. However, when I was in middle school I started to develop a crush on another girl in my Science class. I don’t talk about it much and nothing came of it, but she felt it too. Her name was Misty Gamber and she sat in the back of the classroom. I soon started looking back in her direction and noticed her staring back at me the entire class time. This quickly became a daily occurrence between the two of us. The teacher soon noticed what was happening, but did nothing about it after seeing proof through my passing his class tests, that I was paying attention to his lessons, though I did not always keep proper eye contact with him. He understood why, and gave us the opportunity to work on the final class project. I have not seen or spoken with her since. Though she told her friends that she ate lunch with what she would like to do in great detail. Though all through school, my feelings for Aimee never changed.

My Trip to Catoctin Zoo

My trip to Catoctin Zoo By Charles Rachel I recently had the opportunity to visit Catoctin Zoo with some friends from the Arc Carroll County Day Program. We saw lots of neat animals there. Such as monkeys, birds, turtles, and some of us even saw snakes. My favorite thing to see was the turtles. We even had lunch there and took group pictures. This was a fun trip. It is also the first time in a very long time that I have been to the zoo. This trip was also important to me, because it is the last one I got to take with one of the members of the Arc staff as she is leaving to take a new job. We have agreed to stay in touch though! Congrats. Jen S.

The Beutiful Voice

The beautiful voice By Charles Rachel One of the ladies with the most beautiful voice I have ever heard, and there have been many is my friend from high school, Tracy Brosenne. I had the opportunity to hear her sing in school and I think she did an amazing job! I haven’t seen her in a long time, but she helps my niece in school. I often think about my friends and what they might be doing now. I have never forgotten Tracy or that experience in High School.

Running with a Ghost

Running With a Ghost By Charles Rachel If I was training to run a marathon and met up with a ghost, I hope it would be my friend Shane Davidson. I have written about him in a previous article. He was my fishing buddy in my youth. I think of him often and would like to think he is watching over me from above. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if his spirit was watching me from a window. I would welcome it as a matter of fact! I have also lost many other friends and family members over the years. Any of them could be watching at any given time, I know they are.

The Invisible Man

The Invisible Man By Charles Rachel As an invisible man, I would be able to go anywhere I pleased without ever being seen. I wonder what I’d see or learn that I wouldn’t otherwise know. There have been many times in my life in certain situations where I have wanted to be a fly on a wall, as the saying goes. Being invisible would give me an opportunity to maybe see the world in a different way. Also, I might be able to see more of it!
