In life today‚ people tend to over exaggerate the phrases “happy as a clam” and “living the dream.” Dean Young‚ the author of “Clam Ode”‚ expresses how he relates to every other American struggling to find happiness in their life but in the end wishing to be comparable to a clam who is content with where he is in life.

Wrestling; when most people hear the word‚ they imagine a hefty man with bulging muscles in a skimpy singlet‚ throwing other men across the mat. In reality‚ this is not the case for all wrestlers. They don’t all have hulk like physiques. No one could have imagined a small‚ lean 5’3 girl like myself be a wrestler.
