I realized I was walking toward a new beginning in life and at that moment I realized how fast time had past. I was no longer a child anymore. The weeks leading up to graduation

The Missing Melody I woke up in the middle of the night with a sweat all over my face. “Oh‚ it is such a horrible nightmare I had.” I said to myself. I lighted the candle in my room; the small frame gave me a warmer atmosphere; so I felt a lot better. I tried to continue my sleeping but I had a strong sense that there is something wrong.

True friends are like diamonds‚ precious and rare. False friends are like dirt‚ found everywhere. Friendship should never be a difficult thing; it should always be the easiest thing in life.

Mount Elenor I was laboring up the Sierra Buttes trail‚ my pace devouring the miles‚ when I first met Elenor. I’ve been hiking the trail every Labor Day weekend with my family‚ for over 7 years; I know how challenging the trail is‚ I’ve seen a number of hikers turn back without even making it half way.

The many quarrels over extended curfew‚ cleaning my room‚ or going out whenever I wanted are now humorous memories
