I always felt out of place in the classroom and uncomfortable around my own classmates but all of my insecurities began to disappear when I took a risk. It was something that forced me outside of my comfort zone and I found a passion that I never would have known existed. This life altering experience was the decision to join the speech and debate team.

It would have been easy to resolve had either one of us wanted to end the squabble. Looking back, it is unbelievable to me that I acted the way I did. Again and again the situation runs through my mind, unveiling new ends to the argument.

The next morning was filled with cries of horror. People were hungry, and all crops were destroyed as well as weapons and the supply of food.

These facts caught Diana's eye and made her decide to investigate the village and then the jungle.
