As I look forward to a wine and cheese social gathering at the Micciche’s home on April 9th for a discussion on hosting international students, I reflect on the supportive community at Friends School that helped to shape a promising future for my daughters, Kathryn and Caroline. Kathryn graduated from Friends School in 2008 with your son Nick and today, she is a self-supporting writer living in Los Angeles; an accomplishment for any young writer and a relief for any parent. Unlike Kathryn, I am not a career writer rather a dabbler with a fascination for words and a hearty story. With the latter said, I am pursuing my passion to write and I am seeking a recommendation for a local person to edit my work going forward. Enclosed is a heartwarming short story I recently completed and although I am satisfied with the story content and structure I recognize professional …show more content…
I spent 25 years researching, analyzing and reporting the real estate market but I often dreamt of the day when I would no longer write about neighborhoods, housing market trends, forecasting, and the mortgage industry rather begin to complete my start of several short stories mostly geared towards the younger audience. Seemingly overnight and without warning the trajectory of my beautiful life would take a sudden turn in August 2016. Unknowingly, it would be my husband of 36 years who would bestow the gift of a vile and tragic story worthy of an audience. After taking a break from writing my memoir, Night Dancer, I have rediscovered joy after tragedy having written the enclosed story about Ara and I am hopeful it’s the start of my liftoff as a committed writer. A longtime friend recently commented that my voice as a story teller is fresh, clear and
Ernie has always been a little messed up, he has lived in Missouri for the 32 long years of his life. On the day that changed his life forever, November 22, 1996. Him and his family were driving to the mall and they got into an accident. His Mom and Dad both died and Ernie was very depressed.

Catherine, my best friend, softly said, “Evelyn, finally we can make a difference in the world. All of our years of school in Pennsylvania will be worth it.”
Should college athletes be paid in addition to getting free tuition? There are thousands of high school athletes who hope to be able to play college ball and receive a scholarship effectively paying for their college degree. It is a nice idea, free college for playing a child’s game, who wouldn’t want that. However it is not as easy as it sounds.

The stage is swept. The lights are focused, and the mic is in your hand. The bass of the song you and your best friend made together is blasting in your ear, going straight to your head. suddenly your brain stops thinking; All that’s there is you and the crowd. This is Freesole Chicago at it’s finest form.
Zoey ignored everyone, and went right over to the Don box. So much for her introduction. As she took the slip out, she read, "Don's team, and Carrie's my partner."
Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (or put simply, Leonardo da Vinci) was born on April 15, 1452, in a small town called Anchiano in Italy to Piero Fruosino di Antonio da Vinci and Caterina da Vinci out of wedlock and died May 2, 1519 in Clos Lucé, Amboise, France. Known as the “Renaissance Man”, da Vinci was an Italian mathematician, artist, scientist, and inventor. He had numerous paintings such as the “Mona Lisa”, “The Last Supper”, “The Virgin on the Rocks”, and “St. John the Baptist”, but his two best known works are the “Mona Lisa” and “The Last Supper.” The man of many talents did not grow up with a silver spoon in his mouth like the Medici family he would later work for as an apprentice.
I love to write and help others with their writing. Though I do not have experience with writing and editing for pay, I do have experience writing and editing for pleasure. I have experience in many other fields as well. This Fall of 2015, I will be schooling online at Southern New Hampshire University. I will be working on getting my BaI want to write for Teen Scene because the idea of it being written for teen by teens is very unique and interesting. I'd love to be apart of it and help grow your audience. I see a bright future with this platform. Also I feel like my writing style would be appreciated here. My writing style is fun and easy to comprehend. It's not uptight at all, but still sounds literate. I have a way with words, I've been
Ain’t nothin’ over! I've been around the streets for five years. I’m still breathing, I’m still working; maybe not in the real life….how you say? You see but I’m working within, I’m working’ hard, within’ my chest, my heart ooh, I’m thriving, I’m seeing, I’m tasting.
Sally was digging in the attic one night. In the bottom of an old box she stumbled across a tape. She shot down the stairs like a dart with excitement to find out what was on it. She watched intently and a smile broke out across her face as the images flashed up on the screen. It turned out to be videos of her as a child with her mother. She had missed her mother greatly since she had been gone.
“Hi I’m Roost, a piece of chicken cut up and put into this lunch. Under me is Marge she wants to be margarine, but everyone knows she is butter spread on Fred the Bread, he is very alive and definitely not dead. Together we make Roared,” I said.
What a glorious victory we've had today! The great world-eating serpent, (its name), has been vanquished! (Lavalicked nearly burnt me to a crisp, but these things can happen in the heat of battle.) Is there any task too great for our party to accomplish?! We reseal the serpent's lair and set up camp for the night. All of us are exhausted and could really use a long rest. I take off my helmet and lay down. I pray for the well-being of my comrades, and thank the gods for helping us. My eyes grow heavy and I find myself in a realm of pure white.
Nestled away in his stolen police cruiser, Michael tended to his wounds. The limitations of his human form was a drawback that irritated him to no end, but he knew he would only have to put up with this husk he was in for a little longer. Liam was with the witches, and their power only lasted for as long as they were in Mount Harrison, and like any castle under siege, they would be only able to push back an invasion for so long—ultimately, all fortifications falls.
Dan felt an odd kind of clarity when he found himself in the sanctity of his old nightmare. At least there he felt normal. Pale walls, like grim and grinning teeth, greeted him as an old friend while flowers brought his mortality into perspective.
Human beings are not capable of accomplishing perfection but they are capable of trying to strive for perfection. If that could be possible humans wouldn’t be humans. The human race is full of imperfections. There is no way anyone can reach that level of perfection on this earth. It is foolish to strive for perfection.
