I was on a bike ride with my 2 sisters and my dad in Big Bend, Texas. I was at a ranch staying for the week. After we left, we rode for an hour. There was a very steep hill we came upon, my dad and older sister went ahead to make sure it was safe while leaving me and my younger sister to stay behind. We waited for about 30 minutes and then we saw them coming back. They both looked scared and startled. “What’s wrong?” I asked. My dad looked at me and said, “did you guys call for me?” “What?” I said. My dad replied, “I heard 2 girls calling for me saying ‘Dad…come play with us.'” I felt a shiver and said, “we never said anything.” He replied in a scared manner, “How about we go now?” and we all agreed. I looked over my shoulder and saw it. 2 little girls standing and waving. I heard a whisper “good bye.” And we pedaled away.

About the Contributor
Curtis Bamber, Co-Associate Editor
My name is Curtis Bamber, and I’m a junior here at iUniversity Prep. This is my 5th year here at the school and iHoot! This year I will be your Co-Associate Editor at iHoot! I am originally from Australia, but after moving to Texas 9 years ago, I have had a fantastic time and I am fortunate to be in the position where I am today. Outside of school, I am involved in many different extracurricular activities but I focus on helping out my family’s non-profit organization called MORE Community which helps teach adults with IDD (Intellectual Development Delays) with the primary goal of creating a community for all. Another activity that I am very passionate about is working out. For the past four years, I have been working out close to every day with my brother and father. Working out has become one of my favorite activities that I find myself doing as I not only get to push my own limits, but I also get to spend more time with my family. I am constantly working on myself and thinking about different ways that I can help improve myself. I am very excited to be one of the leader here at iHoot again, and I can’t wait for what this next year has in store for me.
