Thinking back over my life‚ I remember what I wanted to be when I “grew up”. I didn’t want to be a typical nurse‚ astronaut‚ or singer. I wanted to be the Pink Power Ranger. Why I wanted to be a Pink Ranger was quite simple to a second grader. I wanted to save the world‚ make a difference‚ and wear a cute pink uniform. Some were supportive in my quest to become the superhero. Others tried to explain to me that the Pink Power Ranger didn’t really exist. I vowed to show them that I would one day

Paragraph 1: I’ve done it. I’ve escaped Shawshank. I am free. The sound of thunder rolls through the area as a bolt of lightning splits the midnight sky. Soon it begins to sprinkle‚ the little water droplets begin growing larger and failing more frequently. I rip off my prison shirt along with my white tank top and raise my arms as the rain cascades down on me like a waterfall.
