    I was born in the woods. Technically speaking, I was born at West Side Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee, but brought home and raised in the woods. Five years before I arrived, my parents purchased nine acres of land in Tennessee and built a house that backed into four hundred acres of land. It was heavily covered in trees and brush — a place where all of God’s handiwork was still in its original state.

    I was in the back seat of my car, listening to my music. I was paying little attention to my parents who were going on and on about how this would be a great “bonding experience”. “Blah Blah...nature...blah blah...the great outdoors…”, that was what I heard them babbling about. We drove by an obstacle course with a zipline over a shiny brown mud pit. It was near a thicket of woods. “Maybe we could do that while we are here?” my mom asked with a hopeful look in her eyes. “Maybe” I reply. She turns

    Autumn and Disanje Once upon a time, there was a beautiful “princess” by the name of Autumn. She gained this name thanks to her pale auburn hair, her smattering of freckles, and her birth season, fall. As a child, Autumn grew a fine woven crown intricately designed of thin vines, delicate flowers, and dainty leaves. As the seasons changed, her crown did too. In the summer her head was topped with an abundance of color from the vibrantly hued hibiscus, azaleas, and roses that bloomed there. As summer

    I was running down the muddy street of Buffalo hearing some sneers and mothers telling their children to “look away from that black thing.” I’m somewhat used to the ignorance of others even after I came north. I expected there to be less sneering and cursing at me in the north, well in comparison, it is less than if I was in the south. I quickly slow down as I approach the gorgeous marble library in central Buffalo. When I enter the library I see the ample arches, marble flooring and a stunning
