I held my breath to avoid the harsh taste that lodges deep into my lungs from the bus exhaustion.

One of the worst injuries that has ever occurred to me was having my fingers burned by extremely hot water.

mother. As a young black teenage mother‚ I have learned to grow up quick. The things that I have learned the fastest were to nurture‚ care‚ and to protect my son‚ Jaylen. These were the three basic instincts that I have had since the day I first saw him. As far as I am concerned these instincts will not go away until my soul is resting. Nurturing my son is very important. To me‚ nurturing is more than just feeding him. Nurturing is also educating him and training him to be all that he can be. I do

It was a Saturday morning in the fall when Adam’s life changed forever. He had been working as a hit man for the Russian Mafia for a little over 12 years now‚ one of their best workers.

Woken by my father‚ I started rambling barefooted towards my family’s tribe as usual preparing for the day. It remained a typical luminous day‚ you could witness my people carrying out their own roles and their tribes.

Consequently‚ I wandered off walking around‚ and I did not notice going quite distant from where I should have been until I was all on my own. In addition‚ I could
