New Year

This New Year is going to be like no other, considering the fact that it began on a Monday. Even though Sunday is technically the start of a new week, Monday is really the day when you go out there and work hard, as it is known as the day when you have to go back to school or work. This makes me feel as if I can accomplish so much more than I already have in previous years. The previous year, 2017, is put behind me and I have the whole year of 2018 ahead of me to accomplish many goals. In 2018 I…

If I were to start my freshman year I would have not finished the whole season, due to the teasing and…

Aaron and I had seen each other around before, but it never came to anything. We both had Mrs. Gregory for third grade. Sometime near the middle of the year Mrs. Gregory assigned a new seating chart. Slightly discouraged, since I was a shy kid, I slowly maneuvered my desk to my new place in the room. I sat down next to this kind of chubby kid whose hair…
