Summer of 2013 was important to me. My neighbor's father owned three border collies, which all needed to be let out of the house to go to the bathroom. I volunteered to let them out to prove to my parents that I would be able to take care of a pet. "All right, let's go!" My Mom opened the door, waiting for me to exit first. "Mom! I can go by myself!" I snapped. "But Lauren wants to go too." She gestured towards my sister, who was coming down the stairs. "I don't care! I can take care of myself now." I snapped angrily.

This so far in my life is one of the worst pains I had ever felt. It was like jamming your finger, combined with burning it and crushing it at the same time. I stared groaned and attempted to pull the bike off of my hand, which was sucessful. The fingers that it had landed on were burning, hurting worse as time

    After the dust settled…after months of sinkless and toiletless rooms. After piles of broken sheet rock and crumbled white powder covering every cement floor. After staring at exposed electrical wires jutting this way and that; and sill plates, anchor bolts, sole plates and studs; and water-stained skeletal wooden framing and floor joists. After all of the air compressors, nail guns, paint sprayers, discarded tiles, end pieces and left over pieces of wood had been removed. After the professional cleaners had come in and scrubbed and mopped and vacuumed and polished.…
