A Night to Remember

The kids in the room with me are more experienced in acting and they already know how to do everything. I look around and see one kid pulling a chocolate bar and water out of his backpack, “Why didn’t I remember to bring that?” I think. It’s now been 2 hours since I’ve first arrived and I still haven't said my monologue or really spoken to anyone.

still talk about this day. I can still remember the smell of breakfast as I woke up that morning knowing that it was going to be a long day because we were driving to, rather than just flying South Carolina, to watch my oldest brother graduate. My younger brother turned on the lights so that he could see around the room that we both shared causing me to wake up and not fall back to sleep.

boil, my eyes getting teary, my heart pounding in my head, causing headaches, or myself leaning over the toilet, literally not being able to keep my dinner from that night down. The anxiety I felt from thinking about having to go see him was unbearable. I will never forget crying the night before. I will never forget crying the night of the visits. I will never forget the first sleepover. I will never forget the last one, either. I will never forget him yelling at me to “shut…

beers every night. The alcohol was consuming his life, and his addiction was consuming my life too. I hated seeing my father intoxicated because he wasn't the same person drunk, for the alcohol consumed his soul as if a demon possessed him. Dad inflicted his repressed rage onto my mother.

My grandpa’s death was one of those deaths where you can remember everything about. Where you were, how you were affected, who told you, all that bitter memories you try not to remember but you remember anyways.

It was one of those events you couldn’t forget, and can’t forget even if you wanted to since you were so close to that person. He didn’t get sick. I don’t think he…

The food wasn’t the only reason I flew out to Puerto Rico. I was there to escape from the cold weather I had back home, the rain, the snow, the darkness, the layers of clothes and wind. I could not wait to enjoy the sun, the beach, the coqui(a frog you are only able to find on the island) the fresh ocean water, the mountains, sand in between my toes and the beautiful palm trees that had coconuts hanging. I sat on my grandmother’s porch the sun was beaming against my face. My cheeks felt like a…
