Can't Help Falling in Love

What makes me resilient, is the ability to cope with difficult situations even when I don’t want to. Learning to love and accept who I am and what I can’t change is strength. Vivian Rider, my fifth-grade teacher from Sierra House Elementary school has helped me on…

It involved her dog, her brother and baby sister, and of course, a mechanical lizard. The next morning, as soon as the little girl got up, she wrote down what she remembered of the dream, and titled the printer-paper booklet 'Rodot Lizard '. This would be her first of many small, sloppy stories. If you look back at that story, it seems…

Crossing Lines I watch him as I walk down the lawn, his chocolate hair falling softly across his forehead. My eyes move down to his tie, then his pocket square, and his elbows. He’s keeping his hands clasped in front of him, wrists turned towards himself blocking my view of them.
