everyday. We would switch leading during training, and look out for each other’s pace.

That was the time I saw the opportunity to show them my culture. I invited people to sleepover at my house, and my parents prepared traditional Chinese food. I taught them how to do Chinese paper cutting. They love the…

Here I am. I am a bag. A red bag. I lay in a closet full of clothes and hats, miniature football helmets and lots of other junk. It’s about this time of year when I become down. I feel sad. I don’t know where to start, so hold on. (tears fill the eyes I don’t have) *sniffs* I am sad because I am only visited once a day, and a boy walks into my room, takes a look at some shirts, and picks one, then he leaves. Day after day, and the same process is repeated, until summer. I think that’s what they…

Imagine standing in the street, in front of you is your house. The house you grew up in, where all your memories were made. You walk in the front door and your best friend is standing there...waiting for you. That person is your safe place, the place you go to when you're hurt, scared, elated, or ecstatic. You close your eyes and when you reopen them they’re gone. Abandoning you. The safe place doesn't exist anymore. Or at least, that's how I felt when my best friend moved away. Stumbling across…

Third grade was when school became hard. Graduation is in six weeks and of course I am very excited. But in the midst of prom, graduation, signing day and the senior trip I’m left with the question “Where do I go from here?” From here I will go to Concordia University Texas where I will major in Business…

Once I had a sleepover with my best friend Rachel. We stayed up until 2am, talking and having fun. I knew I had a soccer game in the morning the next day, but I just wanted to have fun. I had to leave at 6am because my soccer game started at 7:30am and I had to be there at 7am. I only 4 hours of sleep that night. During my soccer I was so tired.

School Should Start a Hour Later. By: Chloé Grimm Does your mom wake you up every morning and say, “Get up, time for school.” Or your brother or sister opens the door really loud at 6:30 in the morning?
