Hello, my name is Leaf, along with every other leaf on this tree. I don’t know what the names of the leaves on the tree beside me are. Let’s just say that I happen to be on the top branch and I also happen to be afraid of heights. All the other leaves on my tree say their parents told them that late autumn is the best time of year because you get to jump off this tree and land in the soft green grass below us; however, I disagree with them. I don’t think jumping is a good idea. Overall, what…

Competitive sports are a hotly discussed topic around the world. Some people in society think that everyone should feel like a winner while others believe the opposite. The media also seems to think that competitive sports are harmful and unnecessary. Although the media tends to influence others opinions, I think that competitive sports are beneficial. The reasons that I think competitive sports are beneficial are, that some pushing in competitive sports is good, you can learn valuable life…

Kat was fabulous. Kat Kardashian was the tallest of all the Kardashians at 5"11. I was definitely not as fabulous as Kat, nor as tall. Although, nobody was. It was a cool fall day and leaves were scattered about the ground. Today, Kat was going shopping, or at least that’s what the tabloids said. I desperately wanted to meet Kat so I decided to go to a mall near her house. I grabbed my gray fluffy sweatshirt and slipped on a pair of black tennis shoes. Once I arrived at the mall, I noticed it…

I hear the familiar sound of my ebony curtains scraping against the cold, steel rod they're hanging on. The dark washes away with warm sunlight. It floods my room and drowns my face, causing my eyes to bunch up in discomfort. "Get up, Kelsey. The movers will be here at 12:00." My mother states as she walks around my room gathering the possessions I had forgotten to put in my carry on. I peel myself out of my cozy bed and quiver when my feet make contact with the frigid floor. "Today is the day."…

“Thump!” I wake as soon as I hit the ground. Groggily I sit up, clutching my bed that I had just fallen out of. I grip my head, a twinge of pain shakes me fully awake. I groan as I push myself to my feet grabbing my dresser as a brace. My leg slips into the leg of my pants. Slowly I finish getting dressed. I head to the kitchen for my wonderful breakfast of dried granola and water. As I munch on my breakfast I listen to the news. “Welcome to channel four news!” A man appears on screen behind…

I thought it was a regular day, having no idea that my family would be falling into the slump of the Great Depression. As I walked home after school with my older brother James, I thought about a test I had the next day. But all my thoughts were torn apart as I walked through our front door. I saw my Mama sitting on the couch crying. James and I dropped our bags and went to see what was wrong. She explained to us that she had lost her job at the market because the store couldn’t sell their…

............... I SMOKE WEED, MY BOYFRIEND SMOKES IT. I tested positive for Cannabis when I delivered my son and a whole bunch of stuff happened and XXXX (Social Services) took our kids from us. They’re living with my Aunt. I did everything they said, I did the Intensive Outpatient and Outpatient for like 8 months, joined NA like they said, and I haven't smoked weed in over a year. I'm Rastafarian and I can't practice all my religion if I want my kids back. But I did it and I still can't get my…

I've been a nurse at the Piedmont Atlanta Hospital. I have been doing daily checks for a coma patient for nearly 10 years. Suddenly she grabs my arm, fully alert, and she told me to listen, quick, I don't have much time to tell you this. I got close to her she said, “ you better go and get out of here before you die.” and all of a suddenly her heart rate monitor goes BEEEEEEEEEEEP. I ran outside into the long hallway and say zombies coming down the hallway my jaw dropped and my eyes lit up. I…

He was immersed by its serenity; there were no words to describe it. Glistening on blades of grass as the morning sun began to cast its brilliant golden rays across the land, the autumn dawn was born. Famous for the snow white clouds moseying against the duel shades of blues and oranges painted across the picturesque sky, birds simultaneously tweeted out to each other in a chorus. An ancient oak tree proudly guarded the fields, casting a magnificent shadow across the shrubbery that surrounded it…

Fire Girl (Arnella) In the city of Boo York, there was this girl who was born with special power. But she kept it a secret from everyone, even her best friend. She used to think that if she tells her best friend about the secret that she keeps to herself, her friend will start to think that she is very weird and all of that stuff. But she…
