ready and standing in position to fight with all they got or at least remember, Its been so long since our last war. I step to the podium and speak as loud as I can to assemble the men to my voice. I felt the thrill, I was in charge. I tell them that I know we have not fought in war, and we are not trained men, but what we have and all we need is the heart, the heart of alliance, if we fight with fierce and no mercy, then we will win, we will go back to what we have left, and live on!!!

my life if he asked too. The day it happened I was broke. I remember going to school the next day bawling my eyes out to his brother Alex saying, “What I could have done?

><><><><><><><> at school the next day ><><><><><><><> “Alright, settle down kids. Let’s continue. We’ll just go around saying where we were born. If you didn’t know where yesterday, you should have asked yesterday,” she said. We went around the room saying where and which hospital we were born. I was dreading when it would come to my turn.

When Starr first told me that she was going to become a ‘call girl’, I wasn’t really sure what to think. I was angry, I was scared, but most of all I was ignorant. She had told me multiple times that she had been running into some money problems and even though I offered some assistance to her, she turned it down and said “Thank you, but it’s not enough”. In turn I started to think: how much trouble could she be in? After I voiced my concerns to her, she began to explain to me why she had an…
