High School Memory Sam: Hello Dr. Gen… we meet again… didn’t recognize me? It’s Sam Nusbaum. Taylor: And I’m Taylor Hughes. We’re here to tell you about our favorite high school memory. Sam: Ah, yes, our favorite high school memory… Mr. Hughes, would you happen to have any idea what that memory is? Taylor: Why, Mr. Nusbaum, I believe I could provide a situation, if you’d be willing to follow me on this epic adventure. S: Could you possibly be referring to the time we hiked up halfdome in Yosemite National Park? T: Nay, my friend. I am referring to the time we golfed off of Halfdome deep in the forest of Yosemite National Park? S: Ah, yes, how could I forget such a venture? If my memory serves me, and I believe it Does, I believe that was just last summer. T: Yes, we started out early, golf club in hand. Everyone scoffed at us for such a preposterous notion. But we knew the task at hand: a 13 mile trek through the savage wilderness, summiting peaks and climbing steel cables to the top. S: We minimized the amount we took, and calculated the amount of water we would need at its bare minimum. It was four of us on this venture: us two, Cathy Broderick, and Kelsey Shilling. It was a hard climb to the top. T: Once we arrived, we teed off on the top. Men were awestruck at our innovative idea. We then departed, showing the meaning of haste to those around us. S: On our descent back to base camp, we found that we underestimated our water supply and ran out. Tears would have been shed, had we the water in our systems. We labored, miles upon miles, our thirst unquenched. T: When we finally reached base camp, it was a memory we knew we would not soon forget. |
