Have you ever had a day that started off so well, and then got so bad. So fast. That is how this day went. Most kids find out at some point or another. For most kids finding out about the “Santa secret” is not that big of a deal. That was not the case for me.

It was about a week after the release date and I said to my mom “can we go see the polar express?” she said “wait until your cousins come on Friday down for thanksgiving”. So I waited for the time they came always seeing the commercial on TV, making me want to see it more and more. So when the time came for my cousins to come it felt like it had been years. My…

All that we heard from behind us was the constant boom of the shotguns being fired. I could feel the burning in my lungs of the frigid winter air as me and my friend, Jeremy, were running to the car in the black of night.

It was a cold bitter night on the 1st of December in 2012. I decided to try out a new hunting spot for the first time. I knew that it was going to be much colder because i did not have any walls around me to protect me from the brutally cold wind.

I made sure to wear extra clothes and to dress in layers for the long five hours that I have ahead of me sitting up against…

Imagine being pressured into stealing money from your own parents. Ashleys is an average teenage girl, until her parents got divorced, she knew that it was never good in the beginning.
