m a Christmas tree, Like all Christmas trees, I was chopped down in the forest. Now I serve as the official White House Christmas tree inside the blue room. What an exciting job I have! I’m not sure how I got here. I don't remember anything about being a sapling or growing up, all I remember is being shipped to the White House, being put up and being decorated. Life at the White House is amazing, I’m surrounded by a bunch of trees, 53 to be exact, who i'm friends with. Well, I’m friends…

fifteen, which had changed my life forever although I didn’t know it at the time. This, however wasn’t just a normal day. It was the day that children looked forward to the most; it was Christmas day. On this day I had awoken fairly early, around six or seven, because I was excited to see what was under the Christmas tree.

Art has been enjoyable in my life, since it gives me a chance to express and design what I think and feel on paper. Being able to draw is handy in life, whether to draw a sketch of something, making a project for school, or showing…

For dinner my aunt had prepared corn beef and cabbage. After dinner, I helped her wash dishes. She said, “You’re a lot like your mother. I always said it was too bad she married a musician, who thought he had a gift for logic.” “He had some interesting ideas,” I said. “He used to hide his meanness behind his ideas. I knew she was in trouble when he convinced her to move into the city.” “What do you mean,” I asked? “He told her that by living with me in the woods, she would be inundated with…

When I first learned about the mid term project I did not think about what relationship I wanted to do the project on until I was talking to my roommate about home. I realized that I wanted to do my project on my mom who reminds me of home all the time. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to do with this until I saw some of the other presentations on the first day and that is where I discovered my inspiration and that night I worked on my first art piece. This whole process was definitely a…

As an eighteen-year-old girl, I can say I still wake up…

During the sixteen years I have been alive, I have realized many things that I did not notice as a child. Throughout my high school career, miniscule hints of reality have appeared in my life. It has come to my understanding that life is not as easy as it seems when you are a child spending your time watching cartoons and playing with friends whenever you want. Life will keep hitting you in the face and it will bring along the most crucial, tough challenges you will go through. I do not know for…
