"Awwwwww, daddy! I don't want to go to a new school AGAIN." He rolled his eyes when I started to whine again. "Hun, you have to," he said beginning to kneel down to come face to face with me. "I'm sorry cupcake. But I got a great new job here at Reno, Nevada. I'm sorry for always moving from place to place. But ever since the accident Hun...." "I know daddy. It's okay. But mommy's up in Heaven now, she's happy with grandma up there. Maybe they're making scarves!" I replied with a smile. Daddy smiled when he heard that. "Don't worry, mommy's watching out for you. She's right here. Okay?" he replied. I nodded. "Sorry cupcake, I have to go. Good luck at your first day of school, okay? Love you," he said then kissed my forehead. "Bye daddy! Good luck at your first day of school too!" "Ha-ha, thanks Hun. Bye." he said then left. I felt so lonely, ever since mommy went to Heaven, there's no one to play dress up with. Daddy said when she was coming back from a business trip, something happened to the plane she got on and mommy passed away. Even though all of us were sad and crying, we were just thinking of the fact that she's in Heaven now, and that's all that matters. And when I said to daddy good luck on his first day of school too, it's because he's going to school too! Like me! When I turned 4, mommy and daddy told me that they never went to college because they had me when they were young. They told me that they never regretted having me though. Before mommy died, daddy got accepted into a good doctor school! I was really happy for him. So today is both our first day of school! Yay! But what is cool too is that my friend Tristan is in my class too! He was always nice to me. Ever since mommy passed away, a lot of times we would play together in his playhouse! It's really cool and their

    I'm six years old, and I'm secretly watching the girls in my class loudly chatting in the corner of the classroom. It's 2008, and I'm quietly sitting on my desk, wondering to myself: "Am I not important enough for a simple goodbye?". I nervously shift on the chair, impatiently waiting for the minutes to tick by. My red sweater is itching against my throat. The teacher came in and we begin class as usual. Ms. Claudia is talking about our final reflections…

    Yokeman Monologue

    Or maybe I'm trying to get you to think like me, hee hee hee. Is it a little jeuvinille to write out laughter like that? I wonder if my editor is going to make me omit that? Anyway, it's the last day of school. Guru, Becky, Carlton, and I were sitting in the usual spot outside the cafeteria. A brick wall that's actually an elevated plot of grass, with a huge willow tree in the center to provide us with much needed shade during these notorious hot days, and considering this is Arizona, shade is almost considered a luxury around these parts. We were staring at the large clock at the north end of the campus, waiting for the little hand and to strike twelve. Last day of school was a half day mind you. Some of the students are already cramming themselves to the outer gates nearing the bus yards, the students who were "spoiled" enough to have cars, were already in them with engines revving and itching to gas it out of here. My friends were talking a little about what we plan on doing after this, we talked about how we will keep in touch, keep in mind in a small town like Yokeman we were about ten years behind the times so internet was this expensive new toy that needed a dial-up modem, before social media became the norm. Guru was already talking about going to college, already found a full time job doing construction work in his grandfather's employ. He laments it, as he believes he doesn't have the proper physique for manual labor, and considering the housing market was crashing fast he's nervous about how long it would last. Becky was fortunate enough to get a full scholarship the the community college thanks to her good grades and volunteer work at the nursing homes. At least the local paper acknowledged her hard work, unlike the faculty here at this school who…

    Back when I was a littlun, my daddy worked in the meat factory and mama stayed at home cleaning the house and making me my dinner. My parents wanted me to be a smarty, so they made me go to school. They also said I was a good singer, so I decided to join the boys choir. Me and my best bud Charles would go down to the river to skip rocks, but sometimes we would go play chicken on the railroad tracks. Sometimes daddy would say “Stephen, wanna come a huntin with me?” and I would tag along behind him while he hunted for pheasant. I never really listened to daddy’s rules, so he decided to send me off to some fancy boarding school. It was at this point in my life where everything started taking a turn for the worst.…

    Phoebe always gave the nurses that visited me a terrific time, which ended up having the nurses take care of me like i was the president. She left her latest story on my bedside table. Hazel Weatherfield got shot in the leg, but still somehow managed to fend off a mob of gangsters with an empty revolver. Of course, I found that impossible. My mother eventually to see me, along with the Phoebe and D.B. We had a long talk, and I don't feel much like talking about it. I remember she started crying at one point. I got up and gave her a hug. D.B. and Phoebe joined in quick. It was the least phony thing you could imagine. I told her that everything would be fine, and that we were all here, Allie too. That made her smile. She looked me in the eyes then kissed me on the cheek. She was still crying, but I swear they were tears of joy. What troubled me though was that Dad wasn't there. He's never there for these rare moments. That worried me a little bit. I felt like I should have worried about it, or at least pretended to worry about it, but I didn’'t. Come to think of it, Dad is hardly on my mind nowadays. He's on my mind even less that he used to be when we were normally together, and that was pretty low. Don't ask me why, because I can't explain…

    Not realizing that only half of the school day had passed, I sat in the school parking lot for two hours. I had planned on grading essays on a play we’d just read in my english class, but I couldn’t bring myself to do any thing but think of Gene. Finally, Summer, my six year old daughter and Finny, my eight year old son came to the car. Gene had just been admitted to the hospital this morning and the kids didn’t know yet so I explained to them, with as little detail as possible, what was going on and we drove to the…

    Mommy made me leave all my toys, because she said it wouldn’t be enough room in the car. But she did say I could put on my best church dress, my favorite coat and my patent leather shoes I got from grandma for Christmas. When I asked daddy if we were coming back all he could say was no and then I would hear him mutter some bad words. Now we are stuck here on the side of the road waiting for my dad to finish cooking a disgusting can of baked beans.…

    It’s a Friday,” says my mom. She asked me to go to with her to work this Friday to help out with the staff after school. I roll my eyes, annoyed by even the idea of going to that old boring mental institution. I sigh. I don't have a choice when it comes to me and my mother. “It sounds like so much fun,” I say sarcastically. “Sarah, you’ll be fine,” replys my mom. I ignore her and go to school.…

    We had to say our last goodbye to our little house we had lived in our whole lives. When we were leaving, my family and relatives were at the house saying their goodbyes and giving hugs. “Do we really have to leave everyone and move, mom?” I asked. “Your dad and I have agreed that it will be a good move for the family, now stop complaining about it.” she told me.

    “Daniel don’t say anything to any because your mom will be very worried and you have to move this Friday.” Said Grandpa. “I don’t want to move to America, I will lose all my friends and I will miss you.” I repaid. Grandpa answered and said “Think about it this way if you move now and grow up and have a good job you can come and visit any time, and every summer you can come and visit for a few weeks. You will make new friends and I will make sure your dad signs you up for the soccer team.” “Ok Grandpa” I said. Three days later “Wake up Danny wake up, we are going to leave in an hour.” Mom screamed from down stairs. I got dressed and brought all my boxes down stairs and put them in the enormous container.

    Anxiety Disorder

    Most first graders are always excited to go to school on their first day to meet their old friends and make new ones, to start with a clean slate and to strive to be better than the previous year. I felt like an outsider, not being able to feel the same way out of fear. On my first day of first grade, I woke up at 8 in the morning to an upset stomach of fear. I did not want to go to school. I did not want to leave my mom. I did not want other children judging me at school. “You should be excited to go to school today. It’s your first day! Don’t worry at all, you’ll be fine,” said my mother in an encouraging tone. As I got ready for school, I tired but failed to ignore the butterflies and the lump in my throat as I worried about how I would make it through the entire day of school. I was strangled by thoughts like: Which one of my friends will I run into first? Will my teachers like me? What if I’m late to class and become that girl that walked in late on the first day? I walked to my bus holding my mother’s hand and looking down at the floor. I saw the large yellow bus and felt this sudden rush of tears rolling down my face while my mother tried to force me onto the bus. Once I got on the bus, the older children looked like monsters who were about to attack me so I quietly sat in a seat and looked out the window for…
