It’s October, warmer than your typical autumn weather, but that’s most likely from the years of carbon emitted into our atmosphere. It’s normal, we even make jokes about how nobody cares our environment is changing, even though it will cause the next great extinction. This is normal life for me. Every day I wake up and get to witness humans hate humans because their skins are a different color, I get to see humans treat money more valuable then thousands of other humans, and i also get to see…

YOU ARE NOT ALONE A grown man or woman being torn to pieces over a relationship gone bad, yes that happens all the time. Only you know the reasons why your relationship has hit the skids, but I know it is especially painful when it is something that you may have done to help cause the break up. How can this be happening to me? I can’t eat, I can’t sleep and I am unable to concentrate at work. When will this ever end? I would rather have someone break one of my legs because at least I know…

First time flyer I always wanted to be a cheerleader. I loved watching older cheerleaders do stunts, gymnastics and I also liked watching them support their team. At my elementary school, no one was allowed to play sports till you were in third grade. So after waiting five years, I finally got to try out for the cheerleading team. I expected I would be nervous and scared when I got to tryouts. That 's the complete opposite of how I felt. I was so excited to show everyone all the jumps I could…

Breathless It’s the beginning of fall here in the Big Apple, a time of year that brings out both senses of calm and crazy. The apartment I share with my boyfriend is dark and cool, the only light is from the moon as it seeps its feathery blue rays through the curtains. My body is cocooned in the warm covers all alone as I try and keep myself warm without the usual body heat my boyfriend provides. I toss and turn before finally settling on a position and letting sleep envelope me. I don’t know…

Keep running. That’s all I tell myself. Watch out. That’s all I keep thinking. Keep your family close. That’s all I wish for. People screeching, babies bawling, I sprinted past my school and took cover by a nearby car. I recall how just last week I baked chocolate chip cookies. It’s unfeasible to think about how the world’s changed. How did this virus even start? Who will stop it? Stop over-thinking. I glance to my left and see my mother crouching beneath a broken advertisement. I gaze at an…

that I have; therefore, they did not allow me to take my opportunity for granted. I remember watching American History X, and I saw how all races were having a difficult time trying to belong. I was a little too young to understand the premise of the film, but what I got out of it was crucial. I realized that I should be grateful for a lot things I take for granted: I have parents that love me, I have no bullies, and I have teachers that care. After I realized that, I felt better and I felt…

In the house? Daniel, have you not learnt your lesson? This thing will kill you! Please. Life is busy killing me, anyway. - That 's no excuse to carry on... - Hey! You have a job and you have money.

That Day in Fourth Grade “People come into our lives for a reason, bringing something you must learn, and we are led to those who help us most to grow if we let them and we help them in return. -Glinda” One of my best friends today, Teonna Frye, has influenced a lot of the choices that have made me into who I am today. I first met her as a “not-so-little,” brown-haired fourth grader. She was a giant that towered over all the kids in our grade. I sat down next to her, eager to find out who…

When I was five, I always wondered what was the point of living. There has to be some type of reasoning for me being here. I believe in destiny, the type of destiny where everything happens for a reason. It might not be a big reason or I might not leave earth with a big impact like Thomas Edison did when he created the light bulb. But I believe that all my actions have a reasoning for them. I may not know all the reasoning and they may not be all good, but that’s what makes life so interesting.…
