It’s over, I beat them, and they won’t do anything to me anymore. BANG! The sound echoes in my ears as I feel a sharp pain rupture through me, I look down to see streaks of red bleeding down my white shirt. A cold, hard bullet penetrated into my chest, I cried out in anger and agony. I start to lose consciousness and saw a blurry figure standing above me, “Your deed is done,” then he disappeared into the night. I have time, just enough to say goodbye. Held onto my bleeding wound and tried to…

There are four important objects that I carry with me at all times. My journal, my car keys, a letter, and a photo. I have lived the same routine for two years now, probably more. School, work, and then home; nothing more. I work 45-50 hours a week and, honestly, it's hard. It is very stressful, but I have gotten used to it throughout the years. When my father made me become a waitress at his renewed restaurant all of a sudden, I became depressed and I would have a mental breakdown every week.…

I wached as an aplicant whent into the testing area the applicant came before the old man, he was followed by both parents, his mother put something in a larg enbrodid wooden box. The box had gold letters that said Dark star acadimy and showed the accadimys simbole of a there black sun that had a golden dragon wraped around it. The old man kneaded his hand, faintly borred his gaze was focused on the child, he said: “Exactly twelve years old you say well put your hand on the stone show us that…

The past few years have been really hard for me when it comes to mental health, and I want to share this story hoping it reaches out to someone who doesn’t think they have a voice. It all started around grade eight, I was this pudgy kid that didn’t really have a lot of friends, but worked really hard in school. The friends I did have were not necessarily popular in any way, but to me they were awesome. Somehow though, I got caught up in rumours and bullying, that’s where things took a turn. At…

Solitary Confinement Walking through the gentle fog down the empty street that led from her home to school, Adair subconsciously reached into her backpack and unwound her headphones, as she did every morning on her walks to school. Her thumb clicked the button on the side of her phone to turn the volume of her music up to extra high. It didn't matter so much what the music playing was, as long as there was something coming out of her headphones, she was happy. Frankly, she didn't even like…

This year I learned a lot, and it was my most stressful, emotional, and extra year I have ever been through. I of course went through heartbreak, and betrayal of old friends, but what high school student wouldn’t go through all of that. Even though through it all, it made me become a better person. I had altercations with students, and teachers, and it made me realize that I need to be more mature. I promised myself this year not to let anything get to me, and to just keep to myself, but I wound…

"You are very pretty, just like my girlfriend" Zack, Blake's little brother says from the back seat. We are on our way to their house so I can meet his family. I'm already in love with Zack. I look behind me and give him a smile, "thank you" Blake smiles shaking his head, "Stop making my girlfriend blush, I'm getting jealous" "Dude, I'm just saying the truth," Zack says winking at me through the rearview mirror. I laughed and looked up at Blake who gave me a quick glance with a smile and…

Throw me to the wolves and I’ll return leading the pack. My life has had ups and downs but I never knew how far those downs could take me in life. Everyone has a talent ,but I guess I haven’t found mine yet. My personal quality is being patient and knowing how to react through tough situations in life. When I was a little girl I never liked school or cared about my grades. My mother would always stay up with me to help me out in my homework. Every night what went through my mind was that I…

On the windy lukewarm night of October 13, 2012, my life changed in a positive way. That day was the day I got my first dog, a female Shih Tzu, and I remember that day vividly. It all started as soon as I woke up with crazy bed hair, and I had a feeling that something would happen. After I woke up, I got dressed, had a nutritious breakfast, and went off to school. That Wednesday was a very stressful day due to the many things I had to do, which were to write an essay for English, a group history…

This summer I went to Mackinac Island and Upper penninsula With all my cousins and grandparents. I had a great time in the 4 sunny days we went there. We visited the harbor front of Mackinaw while eating hot fudge from the one of the street stores. Then, we took the 15 min ferry ride to Mackinac island and for a whole day just strolled around the island sightseeing the beautiful creations of nature. The next day, we took a 2 hour trip to Pictured Rocks in the Upper Peninsula. Which had to be one…
