One example of local folklore is the life of Josie Arlington, who led a pretty messed up life. She was living off money that she got from prostituting herself, but she knew that she could not live like that forever.…

I am Yahya. From my rather unique "high school" experience, it is easy for me to say I have learned so much. From writing essays in macroeconomics to pushing a national worthy science fair project to the last minute.

My aspirations for the distant future are to attend college and build a corporation of my own; an empire.…

By the way google informed me that my particular calculator at that time was the first of its kind.…

My strength in writing includes: using better words to describe what I’m writing about, spelling complex words, creativity, and passion.…
