My Name (Samia)

My name, a lot people have it and it 's mine. In Arabic it means to be placed at a high level. Maybe that 's my future or maybe that 's what my parents expect from. Will I disappoint? Will I rise up to the challenge who knows? I want the successful life, the one people get handed to them or the one some work for.

I thought I would have been there for a couple hours. Instead, I was there for hours waiting or at least that 's how it felt. I finally got my stitches, it looked weird. Probably explaining why they wrapped something over it. I think I might have misread what was going to happen. I’ve had better

    Scraping your knee on the sidewalk, getting hit hard with the basketball, falling off the monkey bars, these are just a few examples of ways you can get hurt at school.
