Big Day Out

the big day, the day I started Miami Middle School as a sixth grader. As I started to get dressed, I couldn’t figure out what to wear. After about ten minutes, I decided on a bright, white shirt and a pair of faded blue jeans that I had laying around for a while. Makeup or no makeup, was my next big decision. I have struggled with a condition on my forehead for years now and I was unsure if kids were going to be as hurtful as they have been to me in the past regarding my appearance. My big, blue

goggled wedding speeches last night, I was overwhelmed by strange feelings of happiness and pride for my baby sister and her big day. I have been sternly warned not to delve into any of her past relationships, her difficult pre- and post-teen attitude and her

My legs started to tremble as I took my first step into the noisy classroom. The moment I walked in the entire class immediately became extremely quiet. First day of new school is always the hardest, but for me it was a bit different; it wasn’t only a new school but was also a new language a, new country, different races and a total different environment. I couldn’t even say a sentence properly in English, but the worst of it all was the people surrounding me had made me feel like I didn’t exist

I awoke on an early morning, my mother tugging on me. I ask, "What are you doing?" in a tired voice. She replied, "Get ready, Armani!" That's when I remembered, that today was the big day, where I would go to school for my first time. In a hurry, I jumped out of my bed and put on my clothes. I've never seen my parents so happy before, and I was confused why. I wasn't quite sure what "school" was, but I knew it was a place where kids like me went and I will learn things. Thinking about it, scared

When I was preparing for my first fight it was tough. The fight turned out not to be that tough as I thought it was going

Exposition One Windy Day, Dimension 17.4 was going through a Tornado Phase. A Huge Black Cloud was in the sky and blocked every bit of Sunshine, so every citizen looked up. The Huge bust of the Black Tornado passed, and Oblign was a 127 year old Goblin, He rushed as he took his Bag & Magic Candle before the Black Tornado could reach him. Using the Candle, He transported to a Green & Blue planet called Earth. His High Intelligence told him that he was in Area15 located near Nevada.

Rush, rush, rush. There's never a peaceful moment in my life. I'm either doing college, high school, or household chores. I never have time to appreciate life or take in its beauty. Often times I'll be taken back to a time of tranquility, a time last October when I was fortunate enough to be invited to Uvalde, Texas. I remember the bluffs that towered over the prairie and the cold, crisp air contrasted by the warm, radiating sun. But like a slap to the face, I wake up to reality, and it's right back

But last Saturday, I waltzed into the yoga studio fifteen minutes early. I even remembered my favorite mat, a chilled bottle of water, and a zen state of mind. To be that calm and that prepared and that early makes me a unicorn, in my book. The studio was not ready. The greeter at the door informed me I would need to wait. So, I waited patiently (see: zen state
