Quote: “It was the ship of dreams to everyone else. To me it was a slave ship, taking me back to America in chains.”
Quote with word change: “It was the ship of dreams to everyone else. To me it was an [oil tanker], taking me back to America [in a shroud of death].”
When I was a little girl, the shining star of my Little League soccer team, my father and I would take long walks around the soccer fields every Saturday after my games. With hot dogs in hand, and no subject off limits, we would wander the grounds creating what to this day are still some of my favorite memories. The dreams of a young girl’s passion taking her to the top of college soccer are still so vivid to me; with the love and support of her father, that girl was truly unstoppable-a force to be reckoned with.

I didn’t realize it then, but that small ball of aluminum foil is going to be in those bushes (assuming some poor bird doesn’t mistake it for food) long after we’re all dead, 500 years after, to be exact.
Ten years later, as I sit at my favorite park bench occasionally daydreaming out over the beautiful lake Washington on a gorgeous spring day, I wonder if our planet would be in a better state had it received a little help from Hollywood a decade earlier. Staring out over the water, the familiar opening scene of Titanic begins to unfold in front of my eyes, water glittering in the sunlight, the sound of breaking waves, I can hear Rose’s famous line now, only different, “It was the ship of dreams to everyone else. To me, it was an [oil tanker] taking me back to America in [a shroud of
