    January 2, 2012 my world had come to a screaming stop. I hung my head to hide the pain knowing her last moments with us were cruel, and very uncalled for. She would be 12 going on 13, but now frozen in time she, Julieann, would only live to see 5. She was a tiny little thing against her peers, barely visible and unseen, unless of corse she made any sound. Those sounds would be called a classroom disturbance, and would acquire discipline until meeting the teacher’s satisfactory needs.…

    It’s a town filled with farms and the whole county goes to the same high school. Most people that lived close together know each other, yet the friendliness that is given and received is just a social norm that people felt like they had to follow. In reality, most were bitter and gossiped about how Steve did this, or Rachel didn’t show up to church. Simple, stupid things that in the long run mean nothing, however without these high school-like characteristics, they would find themselves lacking any real content to discus. Then there’s me, at four years of age I will start my first day at Pinebrook elementary school, a school surrounded by rows of corn as far as my eyes can see coming over the bridge towards the…
