There is a large blackboard on one wall and seats scattered along the sides. June Beshea enters about fifteen minutes before auditions start with a green composition notebook and two books—one that reads For Colored Girls Who have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow is Enough

Piecing Life Together Ever since I was a child, I’ve always had a special love for scrapbooking. I began to scrapbook when I was about 10 years old. We had a project due in school that involved us making a scrapbook about ourselves to show the class a little about our lives. I was so excited I had never made a scrapbook before, but I always watched my cousin make scrapbooks at her house.

She sat at her computer with an anxious wonder at what she would write. As she typed she felt the familiar cold rhythm of the keys clicking. Tap. Tap. Tap. She became lost in her story and her tapping became more and more rhythmic, like the songs of her tribal ancestors. It was symphony of tapping. Her fingers melted into the keyboard and, and the hard plastic became a part of her. An instant sensation of peace washed over her and she began her story.

Writing Letters Sometimes good things can come from a bad situation. Reminiscing on occasions that effected my life, some were so minor and some changed my life’s coarse completely. Childhood memories don’t always stick but the ones that do are worth everything.
