I don't know if I could really ever call myself anyone's hero. When I think of the word "hero" I think of amazing people who have done so many thing, big things, to help others.

We were so excited that we had been able to get our hands on one and waited for Christmas to come. Then the day came and we woke up to no power. We couldn't believe it. There was … [Read more...]

Some of them were pretty obvious and some of them came as complete surprises. I had always thought my body would just bounce back and it never did. It was like my entire body just stretched out and it was never going to be the same. A few babies later and … [Read more...]

Senior year was a great year for me. I had formed strong friendships, participated in varsity sports, great grades, and held a job at the mall. I dreamed about what I wanted to be and where I wanted to go away for school. I always dreamed of traveling but didn't know how I'd leave home. I applied to a few schools out in Boston and was accepted. I was starting to finally have an idea of what my … [Read more...]

For most of my life I have had my hair in a really short bob, but the past three years I have been growing my hair out. It is pretty darn long, and almost hits the middle of my back. I love having really long hair. I love being able to pull it up in a top knot or wear it down in loose curls. I just really want it to be just a few inches longer, but I can't get it to grow anymore! It has been stuck … [Read more...]
