Everyday I see people wanting to stand up for something, but don’t do it. People get so scared because they don’t want someone to judge them or lose someone they care about. I had stood up for my sister Hannah when “rumors” were going around about her. I had lost friends because of it and I would not change that. Hannah is my baby sister and no friend or person is more important than her. I wasn’t going to let people say things about her or call her some inappropriate things. I had stood…

Wasted Time The room is clear and bright from the sun 's light. I can feel the warmth on my face and smell apples. Things are going slow like i 'm slowing things down. I can see my mother cutting an apple and dancing around. Her smile illuminates from her face. I giggle and take her hands, she spins me around the room. Were going so fast I can see her chestnut hair flow in the wind. Shes so beautiful. we fall on the floor and laugh and laugh and laugh. She whispers something in my ear. “I 'm so…

Dearest Zayn; I wanted you to know that everything you 've done for me--I couldn 't be more grateful. I don 't know if I could ever repay you, but writing this letter to you sure makes me feel a lot better because I took so much from you. I feel at home and I feel like I belong. I 'm surrounded by culture and I 'm surrounded by family, which is all I ever wanted. I wanted to thank you for allowing me to have this opportunity, and I still think about you everyday. You 're the reason I 'm here.…

My sister ran away on my 11th birthday. Of course, last week, this is what I would 've described was the best present in the world. She was loud and condescending and a pain in the ass; she inhibited the worst stereotypical parts of an older sister. But when I woke up to an empty house with no sign of streamers or balloons or the chatter of people expecting me to come downstairs, I felt a sudden still terror. Something was wrong and everyone knew it hours before I had even regained full…

Quote-”I wanted to run faster than the speed of sound, but nobody, no matter how much pain they’re in, can run that fast. So I heard the boom of my father’s rifle when he shot my bestfriend.” Page 14, Chapter 2 Arnold doesn’t come across much hope in the reservation, between his differences and the hopelessness shared between everyone. Arnold’s dog was his one of the only ounces of hope in his life. When his dad went to shoot the dog, it was like taking away a part of Arnold, but Arnold believed…

Walmart Deli The job itself aint bad, depending on the shift and day anyways. What we do is cook food in a fryer or oven or rotisserie, slice meat and cheese on a slicer, server customers, wash dishes, and the list could go on. Like if a night shift there 's a long list of stuff we have to clean. Depending on if we work as a team and have are crap together then we’ll be able to get out on time. Like for instance last night. We only had Megan and I closing last night. We are normally supposed…

The Boy with the Newspaper It was the first day of highschool... I was awake and ready to make new friends, meet new people, and most of all, get out of this house. I slipped into my beautiful blue dress that I had worn every year since I was little to my first day of school, most obviously I mended it and changed it up so it would still fit me every year. I was proud of my dress, it had once shone bright one but has now faded like my childhood as I refuse to let go. I slipped out of my room…

I stretch, "me too." I keep stretching til my shoulder pops and when it does I let out a small moan then form a pillow with my arm and look at Colton. His eyes are closed and he has his arm behind his head and the other one on his chest. He has a little stubble growing on his chin which I love. Guys with some hair on their face is my weakness. I lean over and kiss him on the cheek. That wakes him up and I soon regret what I did, "sorry. Go back to sleep." He rubs his eyes, "no, it 's okay." I…

Humans are flawed; humans lie, cheat, steal, and for all of their good qualities always have issues. These character traits aren’t specific to a single person, everyone has them. People are also filled with love, compassion, kindness, and all sorts of other things that make them nothing short of amazing. My cousin Triston played an amazing role in my life before he passed away prematurely, but the impact he had has shaped me into who I am today. Triston had his faults like all of us, but he had…

Dear, Young Man that stole from us, You may not remember me but I’m sure you remember the house I live in. It was a two story colonial, blue with cream trim and shutters; you should remember because it was the last house you stole from before ending up in jail. You stole electronics, that my husband and I worked hard for, a set of silver that was given to us as a wedding gift and some art. Although some of these items had sentimental value, I am not angry that you took these items from us, they…
