Today is my birthday. I walk along the streets with Hunter and Anthony. Both of them are coming to celebrate my 13th birthday, while both of them are already 13. “Hey, Lynn. Do you think I can become a soldier one day?” Anthony asks cheerfully, and his brown hair flips itself in the wind. I give him a nice, shy smile. “You two could become anything in this world.” I happily reply, and continue walking. We live in Des Mo, Iowa.
