rules during the music lessons. He was given two (2) strikes already by not following directions and not participating. He got up from his chair, walked around and stopped right behind me. Then he shaped his hand cylindrical, and started moving it back and forth in front of his pants. Several students witnessed what Korbyn did, and raised their hands to let me know what they saw. I caught what he was doing with the corner of my eyes, but I asked Korbyn anyway; "What were you doing behind me?" He…

Mom was small, a slight 110 pounds but through my eyes, she was large, even after my height surpassed hers. To this day, she would argue that she weighed only 100. Her strong presence claimed her space, and anyone else's that she cared to. Being right was of utmost importance to her, and she made sure always to have the last word. Overbearing, and overprotective of me, her only child, she usually controlled every situation, regardless of how trivial. I had always wished that she would…

Georgia Fitzwater English memory writing “George can you come downstairs we’ve got something to tell you”. That’s all that it took, those six words that came from my parent's mouths made me freeze on the spot, my blood filled with lead making it impossible to move. My heart dropped, my breathing deepened, and all hope seemed lost. This was all too similar to that day, the day where everything in my life turned into a silhouette; dark and lifeless. My fingers wouldn’t wrap around my…

Nothing fully settled in until I was eight. I was home, Dad was out back. He was working hard to get our old pool ready so my cousins and I could have fun and splash around. I was crying, alone in my cold house, and slowly floated into the kitchen. I opened the knife drawer and let a knife hover in front of my abdomen. My hands immediately let go of the knife after I heard my dad marching up the wooden stairs, and I ran back into his room to watch T.…

First time novelist but long time comedian Amy Schumer has captured my attention yet again. I love her stand up so I knew I was going to enjoy her book, but I had no idea I would love is as much as I did. The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo being one of many books written by comedians I have read, I fully expected it to be like all of the others, but I was so wrong. Similar to other comedian-turned-authors, Schumer opened up about the struggle to break into the industry, her sexual history, and…
