As a shy fifth grader, I experienced one of the most incredibly humbling and also terribly irritating changes in my life. Being the only child for eleven years made this a challenging change as well.

so many people. The decisions you make effect everyone no matter how minor they seem in the moment. My friends and I had eleven days practically on our own in California. Eleven days of freedom away from home. Our parents were worried about us and told us not to talk to strangers or go off with anyone we met along the way. Three teenagers on their own in California for eleven days, something was bound to go wrong. By day two we had already met three guys on the beach who invited us to drive up…

Doctors suggest that teenagers need between eight and ten…

I…

The bell gave a loud ring as a signal to go to lunch. I fiercely grab my lunch bag and angrily march into line. The rest of the class walked normally to the cafeteria, but I stomped my way there. I felt a pit of hate in my stomach, sitting there like a huge, red ball of fire. How could Mrs. Price act like everything was fine? I at least expected some form of apology from her, but I didn’t get as much as an “I’m sorry.” I had to stand as stiff as a soilder in that awful, ugly, hideous red…
