Coming of age

What do you think when you hear something like a book or movie has been banned or censored? Most of us think this “Oh that’s great” because it had content that wasn’t appropriate for people to see. Today in modern society books are banned/censored because people see them as not appropriate for people to see. The banning/censoring books isn’t the best idea because some books are banned just for having content that is seen a “mature” or “immoral”. One category of books that has been banned and…

One “Aaaaaaaaaahhhh!” a high pitched voice screamed in fright. Prentice and Mr. Forkle turned outside. “Who was that?” Prentice asked, but the answer came as quickly as the words. Mr. Forkle got up and ran for the door. “Come on,” he ordered. Prentice got up and followed him, activating his obscurer. Outside, Sophie, on sprawled out on the ground. Mr. Forkle, pulled out a strange device and hit a few buttons. A phone, that’s what the humans call it, Prentice remembered. He then knelt…

My mother raised me to be independent and taught me that the man doesn’t always have to be in charge. My mother raised me to have pride in myself, because I was worth something. My mother raised me to know right and wrong, because she raised me in the Roman Catholic Church. But my mother also raised me to hide my feelings, keep my secrets, and lie, because she wouldn’t understand my side. I had always been my parents ' favorite child. I was Daddy 's little princess, and I was low maintenance,…

It is astonishing how your life, or someone else’s life, can change in a blink of an eye, I thought during the car ride to the hospital. A man, my father, who had been an athlete in his adolescent years, full of power and energy, was now lying in a hospital bed. As I watched him lie there, hopeless and powerless, I couldn’t bear the fact that I had no control over the situation; it all lay in the doctor’s hands. The day began the same as usual; I get dressed, eat breakfast, and wait for my…

continued to ask her if she could please get down, but she then decided to attack me based on the color of my skin.

I am an American citizen and I was born in the United States, so her comment did not offend me personally but it did hurt me…

Belinda: I had one gal on my team, this was when I sold jewelry, and this had nothing to do with selling jewelry, but she tied it into women. She invited a gentleman that did safety for women, like a self-defense type course. Like, little safety tips like, calling 911, and having a 911 poster in you are to put in your windshield. He actually sold those little safety packs that you put in your trunk for flares, and before cell phones were popular, just ways to get people’s attention if you were…

The day I drove across the country to start a new life I learned how to accept my past, take on new challenges and plan for the future. It was a snowy February day. The snow had started to come down harder, the ice was thickening on the roads and I had an anxious puppy in the car. Just a few months before everything was very different. I had a solid job, what I had thought was happiness, and a great home. When she decided to leave my world turned upside down. Now I was sitting in my Nissan;…
