In fact, I ask myself these questions every day when I wake up. Every day, I struggle knowing I have a genetic disorder; Turner Syndrome. Turner Syndrome, or TS, is a genetic, chromosomal disorder in which a female is born with only one X chromosome (the 23rd pair).

In spite of this, he became familiar with a book called the Turner Diaries. This book goes into specific “details about the overthrow of the U.S. Government by…

After reading Turner Diaries, it could be argued that this novel should certainly be banned but mostly be prohibited for children but also for people troubled mental as it may give them some bad ideas to explore. The Turner Diaries appears to teach readers how to perform terrorist attacks as it provides exhaustive descriptive facts ; for instance, the use of bomb cars at the FBI building is the wrong way to approach. For any person in an extremist group would actually get ideas of how to…

I stand in the stationary section of Walmart looking at journals. The shelves tower over me as I take in the possibilities that await for me on this quest. The journals that catch my eye are not the standard compositions, but the red ones, blue ones, and the colorful Lisa Franks. I continue to the pens; only the most colorful would do. My eyes rake across each package until I come across the one that I know is the most powerful tool the world has to offer. As I look at my full hands, I know…

Hey, these types of things aren’t cheap and my parents are trying to help. I’m not going to start off with dear diary,…
