the air. Then as I glanced down at Romeo’s t.v. Colton says out of nowhere “Romeo, where are your fireworks?” No, I’m not showing you my fireworks.” But that’s when I commented on Colton’s question “come on Romeo let’s do it, we have nothing to do.” Romeo, sitting in silence, was wondering if he should get out his fireworks. “I don’t know guys,” said Romeo, “I don’t want to get in trouble.” Colton quickly begged, “Please get out the fireworks Romeo!” As I sit on Romeo’s soft but slightly…

stormy night, as I was out walking just outside of Lime Spring, Iowa, lightning began flashing every second across the sky. The wind developed a creepy whistle to it. Whoooo! Whooo! While I walked across the bridge over the Upper Iowa River, the water started to rise. Higher and higher every second. Soon the water was over the bridge. I started to run full sprint, so I wouldn’t get caught in the rushing water. As I was running, I came to a halt. The rain was still coming down pretty hard. I…

Winfery Show’ (The Famous People). Being openly lesbian was hard on Ellen. She stated “I wasn’t sure if I was going to work again, and although I was out, I was still trying to alter myself – not dressing the way I wanted to dress or wearing my hair the way I wanted to. I slowly gained the confidence to be authentic” (Cassie Carpenter). This accomplishment out weights most them because it was hard for her to deal with the situation. She wanted to be accepted and wanted to make something of…

“I'm Gay” feels like you're walking on water. I started to wake up everyday a little happier and the depression started to thin. About midway through my sophomore year i officially came out to everyone. Looking back at all of the things that use to race through my head i feel ignorant for not taking the time of day to think “maybe it won't be so bad to accept myself” or “maybe people won't treat me any different”. There are many things to be afraid of in this work but accepting yourself should…

and Misty went out surfing because we couldn’t sleep. All of a sudden we hear the clouds starting to rumble. The waves were crashing into each other. My board started to shake then all of a sudden we heard a “BOOM” thunder and lightning came. We looked at each other and tried to go back as fast as we can. Then it hit it hit me…. Literally. Lightning had strike me I luckily was on my surfboard and didn’t fall into the water. My friends took me home and I didn’t wake up until the next day. During…

argument against poverty, he argues that more fortunate people should donate any money not needed for necessities, to countries encountering extreme poverty. The effects of this method could go either way when applied. However, the good that the can come out of this solution outweigh the possible negative effects, especially since one billion children are living in poverty, which is one in every two children (Global Issues). Imagine the news headlines: crime goes down, the world is finally equal…

“Margot, you’re so annoying! You’re like a fussy baby!” Max bickered. “Why do you always talk about the sun? Nobody likes you!” I turned at Max. I looked at him sincerely. “The sun is coming out today.. I know it---” “NO!” Max yelled furiously. “It’s never coming out! What don’t you understand, you little…. Hey everyone, let’s lock her in the closet!“ All of my classmates began swarming around me, like angry yellow jackets. “No, please, no!” I screamed loudly at them. Instead of putting me…

Narrative: My Coming Out Story I came out of the closet twice actually. The first time was in the eighth grade when I came out as a lesbian to the whole community (If they cared to ask anyway). The second time I chose to come out of the closet was at the end of my sophomore year of high school, only this time I was coming out as transgender. Choosing to come out the closet for a second time wasn’t any easier than the first time, if anything it was even harder. My second coming out is the one I’d…

I still couldn’t believe it had been ten whole years since I had moved from this place, but I just couldn’t get the memories out of my head. I could still feel the classic Norvelt wind blowing across my face calling me out to come and realize that this is where I belong. Well, I guess it was correct because even, after all, I and my family moved to Florida things just didn’t seem to want to go right. As I walked through the neighborhood I could still see everything as it was ten years ago,…

Robby for what he did to me earlier that morning. It was the X boat WYA on Lac Labelle, we were just getting ready to go out sailing on that cold morning. The wind was light and frisky, and all of us sailors knew that they would have to get a good start to give themselves a chance at winning the race. I was just getting onto my coach-boat, so that I could raise my sails and go out sailing. Robby was right next to me, and he thought it would be funny to shove me into the cold morning water, I…
