Breaking Ice I walked on a thin layer of ice in high school; every time someone judged me‚ I could hear the ice slowly cracking under my feet. My life was in a fragile and brittle state during my junior year. I didn’t have the support of my parents‚ nor of my closest friends at this stage of my life.
