Dear Father‚ It is not without some great deal of thought and a heavy burden on my heart that I write this letter to you.

I know you do not approve of him and his wandering ways because he is a sailor that he can offer the world outside of our little community which I look

from everything that makes you happy in life‚ in order for another to be happy should not be required of love. Relationships should be built on mutual respect and consideration for one another.

I became the person who I am today‚ a confident‚ energetic social butterfly‚ because I was exposed to something new that made me grow as a human being. Even though people can grow to become experts in a specific field‚ if they don’t step outside of

I held my breath to avoid the harsh taste that lodges deep into my lungs from the bus exhaustion. I walked onto the cold mustard colored bus and saw my friend Anna sitting on the rough piece of plastic they call a seat. She sat arms crossed shivering to the negative two degree wind chill‚ the only thing keeping her warm was a red ball of yarn that rested on top of a black woven beanie. I waved hello and sat adjacent to her to avert the temptation of conversation‚ we weren’t allowed to talk on the

hear things from ‘THANK GOD’ to things like ‘WHY ME’. That day is the day the list of National Service participants came out. We were all checking whether we were enlisted or not through text messages. When they finally reply my messages‚ “Tahniah‚ anda telah dipilih untuk……”. My friends are all looking at me smiling and laughing‚ but not me. It’s not that I was sad or afraid‚ it’s just that I’m not sure how I should feel about it.

One of the worst injuries that has ever occurred to me was having my fingers burned by extremely hot water. It was a cold‚ dark day at 7:31pm‚ and it was just me‚ my older brother‚ Gideon‚ and my younger brother‚ Theodore. I was 9 years old‚ Theodore was 2 years old‚ and Gideon was 12 years old. Every day I would drink some hot tea‚ because I tended to be extremely sensitive to the cold.

Growing up‚ I always kept to myself and never got close with many people. My PFO experience has changed this about me. Being able to work with everyone in PFO in a different way this past year has allowed me to build a unique relationship with each person. One of my most memorable experiences was from Night of Gratitude. For this show we rehearsed for only a total of 24 hours before we put on the show. In the 24 hours‚ 20 teens‚ including myself wrote songs and poetry to perform in honor of 10 people
