kids about the same age as me. At that time I did not know what was happening, or why I was going there. All that I remember about that day is that an old man with grey hair, a long scruffy beard, and a long-sleeve flannel shirt. I assume that he was my grandfather, but I still haven’t been able to confirm that. Some of the days while I was in the orphanage seemed to drag on for weeks at a time. The orphanage was really big; it was shaped like the letter E, if it was looked at from the sky. While some

As a baby, many people would say I looked Like Tommy Pickles. As I grew a bit older, I began to change, not only physically, but mentally and ethically.

When my life was quickly falling out of my hands and reality wasn't within reach, I felt helpless. I needed to find a way out somehow, someone or something to influence me in a better way by helping me out of the major hole I had dug myself into. It all began when I moved away from my life in Pennsylvania, and couldn't accept the fact that it was something my parents had to do. I was an emotional mess. I had much anger and no one to vent it on, except my parents, which, most of the time, was pointless

I sat on my bed, staring at my overstuffed duffel bags, wondering if I had packed enough belongings for the trip I was about to endure. “Well, if I am forgetting something, someone else is sure to have it”, I said to myself as I curled up between my many pillows and fuzzy blankets to settle down for a good night’s sleep. After waking up from a night filled with dreams of soaking up some sunshine on sandy beaches, I turned to my alarm clock to see what time it was. The blinking screen read 5:53 AM

I was 12 years old when a purple satin dress changed my life. My middle school choir was not unique in our watching of West Side Story in class- most anyone whose parents sign them up for choir at that age are subjected to the Romeo and Juliet of musical theater. Typically, this rite of passage is used as a tool to teach kids that dancing and theater can tell stories that they can relate to in the same way that English teachers will try to tell you that Shakespeare is just like a “hardcore dope

The reason for this is that when I’m writing I get so into my words and imagination to where my hand with the magical pencil does the talking. My skills in reading only depend on one thing, if it catches my attention or not. Stories have to get me involved with the story somehow in order for me to get interest. If it’s not catching my attention, I’m not reading it. But most importantly, critical
