    It was the beginning of high school, the start of a new chapter in my life; after coming into the school, the mall looked like the feeding of the five thousand. St. Thomas More has over a thousand students, and every single one was there on that first day, trying to find the way to their new classes just like me.

Fortunately, some of my old friends from St. Pius were in my gym class, so I was glad that I would not be alone in gym class.…

Neither a Starbucks nor a Forever 21 broke the broad sweep of mountainous country that reached to the sky in all directions. Nevertheless, Caroline was a joyous child, and her mother would always become startled whenever her merry voice reached her ears; she always looked at the girl with wonder that she could find anything to laugh at.…
