Is he just going to wing it?” “I want you to believe me when I tell you that I’m sorry because every single word written down on this paper is the straight truth. I know what you saw and I understand what that must have looked like, but I can sit here and tell you that it was a misunderstanding. I wasn’t lying to you when I said that I was completely over…

Everything has beauty, and sometimes we shrug it off because we’re going too fast to really notice the intricate details. Sometimes, we need to slow down and appreciate things for what they really are. Life is much more interesting when we notice every single part of something.” After that, she goes back to her gardening. I didn’t listen to her…

The catastrophe of Cassie and the coat stealing boy caught my eye because Cassie was thoughtful and unselfish enough to help.( I like what you’re trying to do here, but it doesn’t work. State it more clearly.)This is when Cassie decides to help T.J. after all he had done; I believe that she was admirable for everything that she did but this was about friendship and kindness and those are really admirable things. Cassie had trouble in her life, being black, but she stayed strong and held on to…

Well growing up I did not have the greatest childhood so I always remember thinking and acting differently from the other kids in my grade. I always had this side of me that was more grown up than most of the grown ups I knew. I used to think to myself a lot I still do but when I was younger I did not have many friends so I wasn’t quite sure how to be alone. Once I became about 14 something inside of me realize I fine all alone this side of me has always second-guess any bad choices I would make…

Narrative Writing CA Runaway Groom It’s the morning of the big day. The biggest day of my life. Well at least it’s supposed to be. Right now it feels more like the worst. The wedding starts in a few hours. What do I do? I can’t go through with this. How do i commit the rest of my life to a woman who can’t be honest with me? A woman who feels lying to me is the only way. Without sounding too cliché, ‘what’s a relationship without trust?’ I’m done being afraid. She claims she loves me but, who…

Let me first of all say that I’m Nigerian and how big a deal and normal it is for at least 7 out of 10 Nigerian parents to continuously nag their children about how many relatives are watching them and waiting for them to succeed. Most times the children including myself have no idea who most of these extra relatives are because previously we only knew a handful now members of the community and church attendees who we once said hello to because our parents accidentally bumped into them after…

I try my hardest to not allow myself to look weak in public. Crying is just something I do not allow myself to do often. Surrounded by my closest friends and people I consider family I would usually be at my happiest, but this wasn’t a regular day. Surrounded by all my closest friends and I was despondent. That day I was a little baby again. I couldn’t squelch the tears. No matter how hard I tried they kept coming. Big G was just one of those guys that you noticed as soon as he walked in. His…

(Pam Beesly/Halpert). An ordinarily unordinary life with a combination of my parents life before me, big moments, and small instances has shaped me into the person I am today. Born into a happy family, I was surrounded by loving people through every single move we made. In between moves, my family connected through numerous family vacations throughout the country and beyond. As I grew up, I had the classic issues with friends and once I got older, boys too. All this seems so simply ordinary, yet…

A Fighter I’m sitting in some loud, smokey, old bus on my way to my first real competition. I couldn’t tell my dad, he doesn’t mind me liking boxing but the last thing he needs to worry about is why I come home from a weekend away with a black eye. So I told him it was a class trip. Technically I wasn’t lying. So here I am with the same merry band of misfits that had become like a second family to me, they supported me through all the crap this last month. “GO BACK TO IOWA YOU BUCK TOOTH…

It is January of 2005, and I am on my way to Columbus for my first chemotherapy. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October of last year. My two sons, Jeff and Jason are coming with me. Jeff driving, Jason sitting in the passenger seat and I 'm in the back seat of the 2002 GMC Envoy. I glance out the window and watch as we pass the Shoe. It is chilly outside and the winds were powerful on this winter day, snows covering the trees and the ground, it’s a beautiful sight of a winter wonderland.…
