During the summer of 2014, my family and I enjoyed a vacation in one of the most beautiful place I have ever visited. My uncle had won a trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for the whole family and we were ecstatic to say the least. I remember looking at pictures of the unbelievable mansion we would be staying in called Casa China Blanca, but no picture captured how amazing it truly was.

No one, not even my parents could fathom the person I, Tameika Cutina Jackson would some da become. So who did I become? I was never an ordinary child. I spent a lot of recess time reading and writing short stories or shifting through dirt looking for rocks to add to my collection. And as a grown 22 year old woman I still love to read and write and ill occasionally have to resist…

“RING!” “RING!” “RING!” I reach over and slap the snooze on the alarm clock set to 4 a.m that morning. Although, instead of normally falling back to sleep, I roll over and plummet down onto the floor as a way from tempting myself to stay wrapped in my cozy sheets. It was a hot summer morning in Dodge City Kansas, my hometown. The day my Aunt Marie, my sister Marlene, and I, go on a late, spontaneous summer vacation trip to California. The sweltering season was eventually coming to an end…

I boarded the plane feeling very excited and yet terrified at the same time. I felt this way because my family was traveling all the way to Cancun, Mexico for my uncles wedding. I was under the superstition that once we stepped off the plane, I would be shot, causing me to want to remain in cozy little Marshall. I was in fifth grade at the time, making it easier to cave into these beliefs. These superstitions may have been true in other parts of Mexico, but not where I stayed. I resided at a…

At least that’s the case for me. I hated my best friend Victoria for the longest time when we were younger. There was no reason for me to dislike her either. I just did, and she was well aware of it. One day she came up to me at recess and even asked me why I didn’t like her, and my response was, “I just don’t.” This went on for quite a few years, until one year we played volleyball together. She was the first person I talked to at the very first practice that summer, and we clicked. Ever since…

experience I had to endure. I can promise death for sure doesn 't ask for permission. I have come to understand the cycle of life and death, and how one can leave this world unexpectedly. Until this day, I have been constantly reminding myself that life is short and when death knocks on your door, you can’t really call 911 or do anything. Now my thoughts towards death and what happens after I die became more distressing and uncontrollable. I’ve come to…

I never thought about marriage, but she was right. I will turn to 30 soon, but I have no time to meet someone. Two months later, my friend invited me her place for a pot luck party. I had no work on the day, so I went her place. There are three of my coworkers and two men. We had a good time and the one of the men approached me. His name was Alex; he asked me to go Disneyland next weekend. Luckily, I had weekend off next week. It was my first time to receive week end off. I thought it…

As long as I can remember, I have always been astonished at the thought of life. What exactly is this thing called ‘life”? What was I placed on this earth to do? What all will I accomplish in my lifetime? These are just a few of the questions I ask myself quite often. I feel very lucky to have the life that I do. Not many kids get to grow up with the life that I am living. I thank God for that every day. Growing up, family has always come first to me. I know that my family would do absolutely…
