Never have I ever

light. I could not move, for the pain radiating down my spine hindered me from even twisting ever so slightly. I had been practicing hours, days, even months for this moment. It was the moment I would leave my previous gymnastics team behind and venture on to compete with the more advanced group of girls. It all came down to this moment. As I cast my body off of the parallel bars and vertically into the air, the pain struck me to the ground like lightening would a small balloon in the vast sky. I could

Love was never something I knew much about until I met Tjerron. We met on July 11th, 2015. That day I knew I had found the love of my life. “Never have I felt that I could be all that you see. It’s like our hearts have intertwined and to the perfect harmony.” (Major, This Is Why I Love You) Tjerron is a symbol of “everything I want,” and represents unconditional love, perfection, and a great significant other. Tjerron showed me unconditional love seven days a week; 24 hours a

the magic beans, and the talking cats. Rarely do we ever write papers about how one day we want to be the Big Bad Wolf, or the Wicked Witch of the West. There will never be a time in someone’s childhood when they prefer to be a villain rather than a hero, and that has much to do with our choices as we get older. We tend to throw aside anything we feel isn't the best. As Dick Gregory once had written, “I never learned hate at home, or shame. I had to go to school for that.” At young ages, we were

For nine years, I attended Our Lady of the Greenwood school. OLG was the only education I have ever had besides preschool. I was never called the new kid or felt out of place in school. That was until this year—freshman year at Roncalli High School. The transition from Our Lady of the Greenwood to Roncalli has been the biggest difficulty I have ever faced in my lifetime. The gargantuan size of Roncalli High School can be extremely overwhelming. The class of 2019 is the largest class Roncalli High

and I were never friends. Growing up math was always my least favorite subject by far. Ask me who was the 9th President of the United States, I could answer you without hesitation (the answer is William Henry Harrison, the poor guy only lasted about a month in office). Ask me to find the direct object in a sentence, no problem. However if someone used to ask me to solve for x in an equation, I could not do it. I hated math and math hated me. I never had any interest in Math and therefore I usually

and it lead to me hardly being able to be around you. That is the reason that I was mean but it was no excuse. I am so sorry brook I love you and when I get out of jail I hope your new parents will be okay if I see you. Please Brook come see me in jail you are my little bit of light your mouthers light. In jail I thought the whole thing over again. I did not lose everything when I lost your mother I hardly even lost her she died but her spirt lived on in you. You are the only thing your mouther left

I know I may not always tell you enough how much I truly am in love with you and how how much I appreciate everything you do for me babe and I'm sorry. I never want a moment to go by where you wonder how I feel about you or question how much I appreciate your love. I can still remember everything from that first night we met. I never had any idea going into that night I would meet the girl of my dreams, but by the end when I could talk to you for 3 hours straight and never be at a loss of words I

Ever been on a gas scooter? I have. It was by the most traumatic experience I have ever dealt with. Falling off not knowing the gas scooter didn’t have any brakes and hitting a car then falling off. Well, that was by far the most memorable day in my life. Ive never been in so much pain than that day, the worst experience ever. When I was about eleven years old, I was offered to drive a gas scooter which was the worst thing I have ever done. My friend convinced me and said, “you will be fine, get

I grew up in a home where family violence was present. Both my parents hit each other and hit my sister and I. My parents who should have never married or been together, felt they had no other choice but to be together after my mother had an unplanned pregnancy with me. Growing up and witnessing my parents horrible relationship and going through what I had to go through I decided I was never going to be in a violent relationship, or put my children through family violence. If I happened to find

attend school, calling your family members in no time, being able to relax, have an easy day and working at a place of your liking. All these things are part of our freedom that we normally don’t think about or how these things would greatly impact our life. These were small things that greatly impacted a slave’s life in the 1930s, not being able to choose their own life path, always being the use of everybody else, never having the opportunity to take a deep breath of fresh air. This was my life
