Nothing will ever be the same was the constant refrain after the twin towers attacks. But in daily life it doesn’t seem like much has changed. In 2001‚ I was in first grade‚ and nothing in my daily routine changed.

Coaches have given leadership chances to players every year and this year it’s my turn due to my hard working attitude and my capacity to lead a

Six and a half years ago‚ on a sweltering August morning‚ I began my freshman campaign. I remember stepping out of Jones and thinking‚ “Wow‚ every girl here is ridiculously pretty.” Hyperbole aside‚ I was raring to launch. During that fall semester‚ I had a public speaking class on Tuesdays and Thursdays that started at 7:30 in the morning. I can never remember‚ but it was either just before or just after the time change‚ when it’s still dark out at 7:00. Regardless‚ even under such uncanny conditions

everything in life seems so easy to achieve. As most of us get older we all realize that it is not always easy to achieve these expectations. In 1993 I graduated from high school and was three months pregnant. I had no idea when‚ what‚ where I was going after graduation. I just thought I was in "love" and would live happily ever after. So after graduation I moved out of parents home and in with my baby’s father. Not even having any thought on how I would make any money to survive with my newborn

They were selected from the same district to participate in the games. The game was a game of survival and only one person could emerge victorious.
