Living abroad is a dream come true, but it wasn't easy.Being in a land of opportunities, it was hard finding a job that would hire inexperienced people. I started working as a live-in cook on a senior home care where my uncle works. I quit after few weeks of working and was hired as a cashier at a souvenir shop in Downtown Las Vegas. Everything was going well. But after three years of working, I got fed up by how they treat and manage their employees. I looked and applied for a new job, but to no

The Warden She’s mean, she’s scary, she makes you dig holes-Yes, you’ve got it, it’s the dreadful, direful, fearsome...Warden. Based on what I have read so far, I believe the Warden is a selfish, scary, and rude person. In addition to that, she is definitely impatient, strict and bossy.

I was angry with Kurt for being late but I was at the same time scared, scared if he'd been caught. I knew Kurt; he

I was 12 when we first moved into our house in Hawaii. It was a huge change in our lifestyle. We had come from Canada where we were used to cold weather and short summers. But Hawaii was the opposite of this. Everything was going great for a while. I really liked my school, the people, and the beaches that would take your breath away. Most of all I love my house. It was gorgeous! As you walked up to it, there was a big blue door that matched the colour of my eyes. With tall ceilings, a giant kitchen

I feel that half of my identity is based off of my race and culture. I am Mexican and that is one of the very first single stories I break when I meet new people because most people think I’m white just because I’m pale. My dad was born in Mexico and my mom was born here, but her parents as well were born in Mexico. My culture is revolved around Mexican traditions.

This is a story about freedom. A daring tale of a young boy taking a stand for what he believed in. The joys and horrors of a bold trek through the wild streets of Brookline, Massachusetts. This is an account of the first time I went out without my parents. Growing up, my parents used to be unbearably overprotective.
