I could tell they felt welcomed and not judged or ashamed. “That simple facial expression communicates a number of important things to the person receiving the smile. It says, “Welcome,” “I’m glad you’re here” (p. 299). This was exactly how we felt, we were so glad they came and we were so glad to be there. This is an experience I honestly will never forget. It has reminded…

explain that it was supposed to be a joke? I decided to keep it to myself because they wouldn’t punish everyone. That would be unjust and unfair. Yet, I felt like not telling them was just as bad as what happened. I couldn’t decide what the right thing to do was. This guilt was making camp feel like a nightmare that I couldn’t wake up…

was completely different. I became very nervous and unsure if I was doing the right thing and I became worried that Mr X felt I wasn 't capable.

At the beginning I found it difficult to place the new stoma bag in the right place which I found very frustrating, however I remained calm until I got it right. I sympathised with Mr X because he seemed a little embarrassed because the…

Getting in the usual formation, the teammates that were banging on the lockers finally show up and are a couple of minutes late.

When we do homework together and I get distracted or am procrastinating she reminds me or helps me understand the assignment and I will do the same for her. Sometimes Gabby cannot see how wonderful and truly amazing she is and anytime she doubts herself whether is school related or a personal issue she is struggling with…

He did this for twelve years, and eventually came to the point in his job where he was teaching people how to do the job. They listened to him, and he found that he enjoyed helping them. Then, later, another unexpected twist: When talking to one of his friends who was currently in college, Mr. Kaufmann decided that maybe he could after all, and, bearing the…

She held it off as long as she possibly could. The last thing she wanted was to see Jess' lifeless body after all that had happened. Right now, the only person in the world she needed was Jessika. The remaining four friends were trying to stay put together and strong, but all of them knew that each other were fragile. It was only a matter of time…
