FIREWORK Do you ever feel like a plastic bag Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again? Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?

I Have the Right to Be Healthier Than Those Surrounding Me Growing up in an alcoholic home had a major impact on the person I am today, but it isn’t who I am today. I used to be scared of my own shadow, lacking confidence and self- esteem. This stemmed from a father who used to insult and criticize everything I ever did. Belittled every achievement I ever made. Nothing I ever did seemed to be good enough, I either made par or I constantly disappointed him. A small example of this was before graduation

I don’t think there is; I think being an American citizen has a different meaning to every one of the millions of people in the United States that call themselves American’s.

He was dirty and walked around with an old backpack and nothing else except for the clothes on his back. I heard rumors about him from the bar that I worked at, at the time.
