The Day I Stopped Touching You know how some people don’t like others to touch their belongings without their permission? Well that’s how my mom is and she is very strict about those kinds of things. Like most people were, when I was little we loved touching everything, despite the ban of grownups. My mom always said that I couldn’t touch her possessions unless she said to do so, even if it was mine or someone gave it to me. The reason why is that because in Haiti, if a grown up gives a child…

The last few weeks of school before winter break passed quickly. I wasn’t mad at her and would usually look at her but communication between us was scarce if any. She rarely looked at me and never laughed at what I said. It was as if her spirit had died that day after the game. I couldn’t bare to see her like that. The once joyful and happy young girl I had met that first day of school, turned into a dull and hopeless living creature. That’s when I gave up on her. The last day of school for…

My bird blue was not just my pet, but also he was my best friend that I even considered him as my son.

Then you must gain the truth of relying on one’s self. Self-reliance is demonstrated powerfully in multiple ways in, The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail, which was put together by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E.

Part l I had never been a fan of flying. After 6 seasons of Lost, the thought of a plane crash made me want to throw up. But unfortunately, I lived in northern Maine. A place where the hot weather wasn’t so hot. That meant that warm places and relaxing on the beach was a wonderous idea to me.
