Last year‚ after summer vacation‚ I went into my student soccer team kind of sad‚ my past captain‚ the person who I had really admired‚ had moved to another team.

The worst part of all of this is that the capital calls it a retribution….A penance for the uprising that happened all those years ago. Every year we are forced to watch the inhumane tv show called‚ “the hunger games

One early dew-dropped March morning‚ I watched my parents watching me walk through airport security for the first time completely alone. It was odd not having parents to ask if I should take off my shoes or belt. Once I had gotten through airport security‚ I took my ticket and walked in silence to my gate‚ surrounded by fast food chains‚ news stores with blaring T.V.s talking about world and national news‚ bars‚ and bookstores. When I finally found my gate‚ I took a breath of relief‚ this was going
