After I started high school though things changed cheer became a lot less about your skill level and a lot more about who you knew and how well you could suck up to the coach. The coach of the cheer team hated me she would set me aside from all the other girls and constantly poke fun at me and pick out my short comings. I would go home from practice everyday and cry to my mom. I would

It is a given that you are a decent person if‚ you are compassionate and would never intentionally harm anyone and if you treat all people

Aromas‚ sweet and wispy‚ excited my senses with a combination of ecstatic flavors. I looked at merchandise with a surprised expression on my face; an expression that would have made the average bystander wonder‚ “ who are these people?”. The colorful array of shops is still vivid in my mind‚ but it no longer holds the perplexing image it once did. The awe I felt at discovering things I had never heard of before‚ was one that I would most likely never experience again in my life. Massive synagogues‚ churches

Two awful phone calls that no one should ever receive but‚ my Jewish school did. It challenged our safety and identities. Being Jewish and Israeli defines me in every way possible‚ it’s who I am.

I hate my life! Why the heck did my family ever agree to take this terrible voyage. It has been months and every day gets worse than the last. I am sitting in this dark‚ damp corner of our ship and my arms are itching like crazy! They have become so raw that they are starting to bleed. The blood is dripping down my left arm and onto my leg and won’t stop. I thought it was just eczema because of the little dots starting to sprout on my arms‚ but they have been getting bigger. They turn a reddish and

My telephone rang and a shiver went down my spine. I knew who was calling and why they were calling. I slowly walked towards the phone‚ trying to walk slowly enough so by the time I get there the caller would hang up. But soon enough I founded myself next to the phone‚ because the room didn’t go on for ever. My hand reached out to grab the ringing phone and putted it next to my ear.
