It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Update: I just related to Houston from Chicago on 2/6/2016 to the 77087 area.

There are many times in life that I thought I should give up and give in. I reached out the most when my parents got divorced. I was fairly young, but old enough to understand. Compared to most people, my parents were really happy together. I never heard them fight late in my room or heard them complain.

tell that it was about six in the morning. It was time to get my brothers up and ready for a busy day of work and school. Ravi and Daruka were still passed out on their matts despite the sun shining directly on their innocent little faces and rightfully so. They had stayed up most of the night waiting for Mama and Baba to come home. “Ravi, Ruka, come on, wake up.” They didn’t budge. I said it a little bit louder this time, “Ruka, Ravi, it’s time to get up.” I thought that they were still asleep…

“Knock knock.” “Who’s there?” “College.” “I’m going to shut the door now.” This is how many high school students feel about college, especially in junior years. Many students think that college is far off and that they don’t need to think about it for awhile, but the sooner one starts thinking about it, the more time you have to figure out where you would like to go and what you would like to do.
