few weeks went sprinting by like a runner fifty feet from the finish line. Graduation didn’t seem like an event that would change what I think of her. A clink of red heels travel down the stairs and a car engine starting and zooming away into the distance. After the summer she would leave me to a distance that seemed threatening at the time.

social and political activist Abbie Hoffman once said “Free speech means the right to shout “theatre” in a crowed fire.” What Hoffman said explains exactly what having Freedom of speech is like. Freedom of speech is something every American is granted‚ yet many who do in fact speak their mind are ridiculed. Freedom of Speech is one of the many perks that an American has besides having individual liberty. Instead of using Freedom of Speech to help others around the world who do not have it‚ many people

The first day is always the hardest. You go from being the leaders of the school‚ to the babies of the school. It was the first day and everybody was full of both excitement and fear. I looked around‚ I saw a bunch of crowded newbies all around me‚ anxiously awaiting the bell‚ at the start the only person I could recognise was Chiara.
