always been very strong-minded and independent on my own‚ my weakness was the boy I fell in love with. For I was a girl‚ track athlete at that‚ who received multiple offers to schools around the nation. My dreams were to go to Florida State University and run collegiate track at that school; but oh how my plans were changed when I arrived at HBU for an official track recruiting visit.

My trip to Quebec When I was in high school the only thing that mattered to me was singing. I grew up in a family that sang in churches‚ all over the east coast. I found that music was something that I could do that made me happy. My mother sacrificed so that I would be able to get voice lessons and for that I will forever be grateful. So‚ when I had the opportunity to audition for a musical or choir It was always fun to watch the director’s faces‚ because I was little but I had a lot of power

The very first thing I smelt when I walked out of the meager airport was diesel. It was my first time out of the country and I didn’t know what I was going to expect. Was it everything people told me it was going to be? Was it depressing? Scary? Heart wrenching? Why yes‚ yes it was. However‚ it was an experience I will never forget. When I got to Ecuador‚ I didn’t know what I was going to expect. I walked onto this huge yellow bus that was going to take me to the humongous hotel where I would be

In the faint light of the attic‚ an old man‚ tall and stooped‚ bent his great frame and made his way to a stack of boxes that sat near one of the little half-windows. Brushing aside a wisp of cobwebs‚ he tilted the top box toward the light and began to carefully lift out one old photograph album after another. Eyes once bright but now dim searched longingly for the source that had drawn him here. It began with the fond recollection of the love of his life‚ long gone‚ and somewhere in these albums

I loved my family and I didn’t want to leave them‚ but I was sick of being scared every second of my life. I was proud of being who I was‚ and I wouldn’t wait for the Nazis to take that away from me.

I crawled into my bed and wrapped myself in my favorite blanket making it easy for myself to drift into sleep. The next day‚ I woke up feeling offbeat. The sun was shining through my curtains‚ but I was feeling chills in the middle of a sunny August day. I felt my arms and realized I was covered in goose bumps. I screamed

Books are our never failing friends. Our worldly friends desert us but they never desert us. They are our best friends‚ philosophers and guides.
