WHY I STILL WRITE

As long as I can remember, I’ve been a writer. In third grade, sometimes my friends and I would ask to go out to the hall during story time after recess. Instead of hearing other people’s stories, we wanted to write our own. We wrote these stories in my Garfield notebook. They were about our…

YOU PROBABLY DON’T KNOW…

Stories are fun. You get to tell a little information about yourself and something you have experienced.

I recognize that everyone has different hobbies and interests, but when you have one that involves recruiting other people to take part in your passion, it becomes more obvious. My other friends pretty much post pictures or don’t post…

A is for Awesome, B is for Bad

For some a B is whatever. Some don’t strive for much academically or really care about school at all. I envy them. To some degree, I’ve always wanted to be the kid who effortlessly pulled A’s in every class—no big deal. But what I really want is to stop caring so much. It would be…
