“Hey guys what’s up it’s your two favorite people back at it again with the vlogging and today me and Crimson are going to do the 24 hour graveyard challenge. “At the moment Crimson is driving to the graveyard,” I said. We got an in and out burger before we got to the graveyard and when I lifted my burger to my mouth the grease dripped into my mouth and the sweet and savory meat, cheese, and ketchup exploded in my mouth. As we pulled into the parking lot the screeches of the car tires rolling on…

The Hunted I didn’t know who I was. I woke up next to a bunch of muddy kids. They all smelled like they haven't showered in weeks. There was two twins, a chubby kid, and probably the skinniest kid I’ve ever seen. Then I realized I smelled just like them. The chubby one woke up startled just as I had. He was confused.

What once was a mere burning match, weak and fragile, has grown into a magnificent wildfire, capable of engulfing the entire planet itself in its flames. Passion. For anything imaginable, those with it can shine far brighter than any other. I’ve always envied those with something they could cling to and call their passion, never having it myself. After years of searching, it appeared. It had been by me all my life. Yet, only some time ago did I reach out to it, lighting a flame of passion inside…

I am a native of Ethiopia. The environment I lived in was pessimistic. I grew up holding back on my dreams and not being the best I can be. As I progressed in school, I was always told that I could not make it and that I was weak. Girls do not have that much value in my society; therefore, I was told I had no power and I could not achieve what I sought. I went to a predominately male school. My school had ample opportunities for the majority of the students, but not for me since I am a girl. I…

By the time I sprinted onto the field for the start of the Jefferson Cup soccer final I had mentally prepared myself for the fierce showdown ahead. I had been playing soccer for most of my short life, giving up all other sports to concentrate on being a top player. In fact my whole family was committed to the game, so I guess you could say that I eat, sleep, and breathe soccer. I sure hoped that all my hard work would be translated into a big win that day. As I readied myself for the refs…
