But when I went on this one vacation, I knew the first day that it was going to be the best vacation that I have ever been on. The trip in general, and the falls in particular were awe inspiring!

It was my brother and I thought it was too early for him to be calling me, so I sent his call to voicemail, it rang again, I thought to myself, “Why on earth is he calling me at 6:15 in the morning it’s too early for this”, So I finally decided to answer the call and I got the news that my grandma passed away.

I was doing very good in school, I was in the Honor Roll and the GATE Program (Gifted and Talented Education), I had quite a few friends and I was pretty happy. Then one day all of that got washed away when my parents told me the big news.

It’s very sad and sometimes it can be depressing which makes it hard to deal with. It’s hard to know that Emily and I can’t just do the things we used to do because she is so far away.

is supposed to be the best four years of your life, but my Sophomore year had other plans. When I entered my second year of high-school I never expected things to turn out the way they did.

I remember being so sad that they wouldn't include me. From that day on, I made a commitment to make everyone feel involved because that feeling of being left out was one of the worst feelings a young boy/girl could ever have.
