I never thought a white woman from North Carolina could make a change. Back then, everywhere I went I can feel the town's eyes follow. You don't grow up thinking that your beliefs could/would change. Hell, you grow up thinking much of nothing down here. In North Carolina, the only

I am from Alabama aka AL, but I live in Colorado now. When I was down there I lived in a small town that is called Frisco City, Al that has trees everywhere and there are lakes everywhere too. I loved everything about my hometown, but I had to leave my home because I was young and dumb. Also I wanted to see a new place. When someone asked me why I left AL I told them why. I have been in CO for 1 year and I like the jobs here and the education is great. I really miss my family and my hometown, so I wanted to go back home to see my family because I haven't seen them in a year. That's why I am telling you about my trip back home.

Once upon a time, in the middle of Decatur, lived a boy named Joe. Joe hated his life, hated where he lived, hated his school, and hated his family. He was a very angry person, and never found anything positive about his life. Nobody knew how he felt because he never talked to anybody, he stayed in his room and only went to school about twice a week. At this rate, he wasn’t going to graduate, but he didn’t care. He knew he could just be a garbage man and get paid about 16 dollars an hour.

In recent days I had the opportunity to go back to North Carolina for a few short days. There, with a heavy heart from a loss in the family, I had nothing else to look towards. I’ve always heard of individuals finding peace, faith, blessings, and love of Christ from attending church. I’ve never been a person who put their faith into a higher power. As I was growing up my parents never wanted to force me into any religion without me knowing everything about it and choosing which route to take on my own. As the years treaded on, I never bothered myself to learn about the many different religions and what each stands for. So I used this opportunity as mine to attend church for the very first time. I attended the Roman Catholic services held

One year ago this morning on April 11/2016 I arrived to Charlotte, North Carolina after four day trip on Amtrack train. From San Jose, California to Charlotte, North Carolina.

This summer me and my family went to awesome South Carolina! It was a hectic ride on the way there with my two little brothers fighting in the back and we had to be in the car for 15 hours. When we got there we ate at a really cool restaurant they had people on stilts and they had magicians that did magic tricks and gave out balloons but they made things out of the balloon. We went to the beach every day it was the Atlantic Ocean and it was hot and it was very nice out there! My family and I had a great time in South Carolina this year it was a really fun and great experience!

Hi I am Jason Krause and I am 12 years old and I go to nbps. I've been going to school here for 7 years and I've enjoyed it. This summer I went to Alabama for 5 weeks ! I went there with my family and I saw my moms side of the family. I found out we were going 5 minutes after I got home and we were off to the airport in less than 45 minutes. It was a crazy day! Normally we would fly to Tampa or Atlanta but this time we flew to Baltimore. I was so tired in the airport on the way there and back. When we landed in Alabama it was 10:30 pm. When we got to my uncles house it was 11:30 and my cousin Bruce was asleep because he is 7 years old. Have you ever been to Birmingham , Alabama ? The next morning we woke up and my cousin was so surprised

My trip to dallas Have you ever been to Dallas Texas, I have, and it was fun. Me and my family came. We stayed there for a week, at my aunt's house. It was very beautiful where she lived, trees all around, the sun shined early morning.

Living in the South as a youngster was an experience of which I reflect on today as a period of silence for me. There was still a great deal of racial tension in the air, I was told not to talk to white people

Georgia, a twenty year old female moved into a neighborhood that was quieter than silence itself. Getting to know people was her favorite pass time, but maybe it would be trickier to get to know her new neighbor. She would go over to his house, use the doorbell and wait for the sound to reach his ears, but it never did. She would drop off fruit baskets and small gifts, but everytime it would find its way home. He kept to himself most of the time, but once a month you would see him come out of his house and leave for hours at a time.

If I could go back to a past experience in my life, I would choose to go back to my trip to Atlanta, Georgia. I went with my parents and my best friend, Maria. We did so many fun and exciting things together. We went go karting, to the Atlanta Aquarium, to an animal safari, and many more places. This trip was probably one of my favorites because I was with one of my best friends. Maria and I have been very close friends since sixth grade. We grew up playing volleyball together and then ended up going to the same church. She’s like a sister to me, my dad even calls her his second daughter.
