It was almost midnight on a hot July weekend and my brothers and I were out past our curfew; and the only thing that’s out at that time of night is trouble. We were young and wild and used to doing…

our lives are both similar and completely different. It’s hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that someone who is fairly famous and someone who has no significance in this world can be alike in many ways. Having read this book a few years back, it was actually helpful to me. It may have been helpful in the most indirect way possible, but helpful nonetheless. The Glass Castle had a small part in helping me through my problems with depression and anxiety. It is very hard for me to write…

victory for the Wellington Academy Knights. It had been a tough game, my muscles were sore with exhaustion, but burning for more domination. I was startled when Bash stiffened and his tone became serious and quiet while he said, “I need a favor from you. You have to promise me that...if for some reason...I can’t be here for Juliette...you have to promise that you’ll take care of her, for me.

We woke up early, ready to set off. Getting the last of our things into our Dodge van. “How long is this going to be until we get there?” my brother asked. “About 8 to 9 hours.”…

questions I’m going to go through my life in increments of five years with how I acted and thought, and I will go into detail of the important people in every five years and how they changed me. From ages zero to five I was the rowdiest and happiest little kid you would ever meet. I loved everyone and I wanted to make everyone smile. My mom says that I was always saying, “watch me daddy watch me” to my dad over every little thing I thought he might be interested in. Other than my parents who I…

Growing up with a Greek family and their tendencies have been considered a normalcy for me, but to others, that is not the case. Looking back, I do not think there has ever been a time that the Greek side of my family was not there for me. My grandparents lived next door, came to all of my games and events, drove me places if my parents were not able to, ate dinner with us nightly, etc. If I had won an award, phone calls would be made and soon all of my relatives would know within a matter of…

experiences in life as well as our social setting is key on what defines us as people. It could be that my social setting could be referred to none the less interesting. My family has failed to surprise me among every time we are around each other, and we get together a lot. To further my point, I come from a large Greek family and all that good stuff.
