It is very exciting to produce our first online maga-zine! Students have so much to say and their experi-ences are unique and fun. This school year I have had the pleasure of listening to so many amazing stories filled with courage, hardship, humor, dismay, and ev-ery imaginable human emotion. My students have so much in common, even if they are from so many different parts of the world. Because I also grew up in another country, I can relate to their feelings and stories. The “culture shock” stories are particular-ly fun to tell, as we grow and change so much when encountering a new culture, or living in a new coun-try with different values, ideals, and philosophies.

Because we recently focused on the “author’s pur-pose” in an article, students have chosen to enter-tain, persuade or inform you, the reader. This first online magazine is a collection and culmination of brainstormed topics, favorite experiences and those ideas that hold our curiosity for the moment. We welcome comments and suggestions as we be-gin to think about our future online magazine pieces.

A special thank you: I want to thank Santiago Samo-rano for collecting all of our stories and spending many hours organizing them into the actual online magazine!

The power of storiesBy Ms. Samorano

Have you ever listened,really listened, to someone tella story about an experience they had? Watch the way their eyes glimmerand how their face changes?The lips pucker or broaden with a laugh,revealing little canals of lined rivers and,old or young, the rivers flow on the facein remembrance, in a tribute to a delicious timepast, when in a moment something was captured and, long before cameras and cell phones were conceived in a young person’s mind, the eye flashed and held tightly to the horror, to the mesmerizing and sensual time when a raucous laughter or shrill shouting,

changed the world of one person, opening a doorto another dimension, a new path, a new destiny bringing them to you now,to taste, smell, relish and devour“that time I will never forget…” and lasso you into this precise moment that has shown up once more like a distinguished visitor you imme-diately take in, to be fascinated, enlightened, amused, enraged, hungry, shocked, terrified, and changed, forever.

Why is the teacher contributing her writing? A coach should always be able to do what she asks her students to attempt. That’s why I am contributing my own writing. I want my students to know that everyone has to rewrite and rewrite in order to produce a decent final draft. But it’s worth it and it can be fun. Writing takes patience and I have always loved it. I began writ-ing as a child to express my ideals, my love for my fam-ily, and my hopes for my own life. My parents loved my poetry and letters. I had the power to bring them a smile and sometimes they cried with emotion. I hope to encourage my students to grow artistically, spiritually, and intellectually the way my parents encouraged me. I believe there is a great poem, story, or creative piece, in every single person!

day. The Somali woman helped them. She gave them a ride to go to the party. It was fun; people were do-ing different kinds of dances. After that she took them to her house. They were a good family. They showed them the city. After that they went back to their house. Whenever they needed help they called them. They introduced them to a lot of Somali people. On Aug 15, 2009 Abdi went to school. He was scared and he did not speak English. He started 7th grade. After four months Abdi made three friends but he still didn’t speak that much English. After one and half years, Abdi decided to change schools. He was in 8th grade. He went to Townsend for six months. Then it was the end of the school. The schools were closed for two months. When the school started, Abdi went to high school. It was his first year and now he is still a freshman and he has learned a lot of English. As you can see, coming to the United States is hard for some people, especially when you don’t speak English.

Abdi is a student at Catalina magnet high school. He is from Kenya. His parents were born in Somalia. Abdi is 14 years old. His family moved to Kenya because there are bad things going on in Somalia. His family moved to Kenya in 1991. Abdi’s family lived in Kenya for 20 years before they moved to the United States. The first airplane they rode was the biggest one. They flew all the way to Paris, France. His family was scared. Then they took another airplane to New York. They slept there one night then the next morn-ing they went to Dallas Texas. The airplane in Texas was full. They were in Texas for four days. They met a lot of Somali people at the airport and they helped. After four days in Texas, they took them to the air-port. Abdi’s family went all the way to Tucson, AZ. They thought Tucson was a big city and very cold but it was not. It was hot. They came to Tucson on June 15th, 2009. They didn’t know anyone in the city. They were scared. After three days, a Somali woman came to them and she told them a lot of things. She told them not to be scared; no one is going to do something to you. After five days it was June, 20th the refugee

Hi, I am a senior student at Cata-lina High School. The opportu-nities I have in the U.S.A are to graduate from high school and go to college. The Government can help to pay money for college

so I don’t have to worry about money. In my country the government doesn’t help pay. I have to pay by my-self. The opportunities I have require me to volunteer at school and to apply for scholarships for college. Sometimes I have a chance to visit Universities and Colleges and to participate in extra curricular at school.At school I have the opportunity to put on make up and wear stylish dresses. I don’t have to wear a school

uniform at school. Now I have become responsible at home. I have the opportunity to a get good education and to achieve my goals. I also have opportunities to make friends with different kinds

of people who come from different countries.

Chicano Rap is a kind of music that the rappers mix English and Spanish to make a different kind of music. This music could be for all kinds of people, this music has love songs. There are some rappers that make songs for their hood, or some rappers make love songs for people that they fell in love with, like some special person. The most popular love rapper is “Mc Magic from NB Ridaz” he made a lot of songs like “so special, princess, what is love, the only one , reasons, etc.” these songs are from the “rewire, magic city part 2 Cd’s” he made some really great songs like “hottest city in the world, toast To the party, etc.” There is another rapper “Lil Rob” he has good songs like “one of those days, California, Cortez shoes, etc.” These two rappers sing very good or I can say really great . This kind of music is my favorite because if I want to listen to some love songs they have it, if I want to listen some great rap they have it too. I recommend this kind of music, I think you would like it..

FIFA SoccerSoccer is the most common sport in the world and also the most popular because everybody around the planet plays it. Soccer was invented in England. Soccer at-tracts people’s attention because it’s fun and exciting.

Soccer made people make a corporation called FIFA and that team work divided soccer into seven differ-ent parts, where the best players play and where people barely knows how to play soccer. In 1926 the FIFA decided to organize a world cup where each country has to play for each continent so they can get to the best 32 teams of the world. In 1930 they celebrated the first world cup and that world cup took place in Uruguay and Uruguay won. And then every four years a new world cup starts and with it starts the fun, sadness, and happiness. And now in the 21st century, soccer became more challenging for people to play because now soc-cer fans want more excitement in each match that play-er’s play and that’s the reason why in Europe it’s so popular because it collects all the good players from the entire world so that every match can be exciting. In Europe you have to be one of the best of the world. The players that don’t get to play in Europe play in their countries. but you still have to be good, for example, I’ll tell you some names of some very good players; Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Javier “ El Chicharito” Hernandez, these are the big players of the world that are now popular in 2012. Some of the challenging countries in the world who play soccer are Spain, England, Italy, Germany, France, Brazil, Portugal, and Mexico these are the tough countries on the whole planet. And now people hope that 2012 could be the very cool and nice year of soccer around the world where you can see the stadium and where you can see good matches in the EURO2012 cup. This is where all the European countries play to win the cup and to win some respect from all the countries, and it starts in July with all the emotions.

It’s important to care of your self, and also love yourself for who you are, and believe in yourself. We should not care about what people are saying, if you think you are cute yes you are, but if you hear people saying that you are ugly, and you believe them, you will never care about your appear-

ance. If a person wants to care about how they look they have to know who they really are. To believe in yourself is not a hard thing to do. Like some girls like to wear things that they like and their friends say’’ that is too ugly, look what she’s wear-ing ew’’, but it’s not, it’s just because the person knows what they like to wear. Why do some girls like to look all cute and some of them don’t care about their ap-pearance? If a person doesn’t care about herself nobody will care for them. So when a girl wants to look good it takes time, she has to do anything to make herself cute or beautiful and look very nice . She has to do lots of things to take care of herself. If you want to look cute and all that you have to make it happen, you will not just sit there and wait for it to come to you, no you have to do it. Also if you are about to go to somewhere, Step one, take a shower. Step two, put lotion on. When you are done, look for something sexy to wear and make sure you have everything you need. Than put make up on and mach everything you have to mach what you are wearing. After that put perfume so you can smell good. Then go to the place that you were going to. Ev-erybody will like how you look and start caring about their appearance. If somebody tells you look ugly, just say thank you and just don’t listen to them. Maybe they are jealous, who knows? People it’s very important to care about who you are to show people who don’t know you who you really are and to love yourself for whoever you are. Don’t care about what others think about you, just care about yourself and who you are. Be happy with your-self.

How To Care About Your Appearance

Hi, I am a student at Catalina Magnet High School. When I came to the U.S.A, the culture shock that I ex-perienced was that when I saw boys and girls kissing and hugging each other in front of everyone in pub-lic. And I also saw girls pregnant before marriage. This was a culture shock for me because in my country it’s a shame to kiss in front of people, and you can’t be preg-nant before marriage. If you are pregnant before mar-riage then no one will marry you. If you kiss in front of people everyone will look at you and they might talk about you and they will say bad stuff about you.

Culture Shockby Sharifa


I’m a refugee boy who spent 18 years in a refugee camp. In refugee camps there are a lot of problems all refugee people face. For me it was very difficult to live in a refugee camp. When I was 6 years old my father died. My mom could not do any thing because my mom is disabled. When my father died we had many big prob-lems. Then my mom worked in the river for me and my sister. In Nepal there is lot of sun, same like in Tucson. My mom worked hard in the river. She would collect stones and sold them to a truck driver. Because at that time I was little and I had two more sisters, we needed money to buy books, pens, and pencils for school. My mom went to work in the morning and I took care of my two sisters. I combed their hair than I cooked food for my mom and my sis-ter. When I was back from school I changed my school clothes and my sister’s school dress. Then I went to get water atthe tap to bring water for cooking food and for my sister my mom and me to bathe and wash clothes. My refugee life was a very hard life, just like for other refugee people. I spent 15 years in a poor

refugee life in a refugee camp. I think refugee camps are the like a bird cage. If someone put a bird in a cage, they can’t wait outside with him they need to help take him outside.

In my life the same things happened like a bird who was kept in a cage.But in my life no one could help take me outside of a refugee camp. But after 18 years I found one agency we called (I.O.M) it means inter-national origination for immigration. They helped to take me out from the refugee camp. When I found that agency I felt very happy because that agency changed my family’s future life. Then when I went for the first time to the I.O.M office,they decided to take my fam-ily to America in Tucson, Arizona. Then I started to think about my new life that I spent in America. My mom she was so happy, because if we could go to America we wouldn’t have to do hard work in the river all the time. My sisters were also happy to go to

America. I think we were very luckily people in this refugee camp because I got my first chance to come to America with my small happy family. Then I had other problems like money to buy clothes and some

new things that we could use in America. I did not have enough money to buy clothes and other things. When I was a 10 years old I opened a Photoshop with the help of my friends. I sold that shop with my friends and I got some money to buy good things that I used in America. Things like clothes, bags, cooking stuff. After that we left our beautiful ref-

ugee camp on April, 10, 2010 in the morning at 8:00am. From my camp we went to the capital city of Nepal, that is Kathmandu, at 12:00 o’clock in the af-ternoon. Then we stayed 4 days in Kathmandu because we had to get a plane ticket from Kathmandu to New York in America. Then on April 14, 2010 our journey began from the capital city of Nepal. And on April

15, 2010 at night time I came to Tucson Interna-tional Airport. When I get out from the plane I saw a lot of Nepali people. They came to pick up

my family. One thing I didn’t know was that Nepali people would come to welcome me in a new coun-try. At that time I felt very happy. I thought in Amer-ica there are also Nepali people, I am not alone with my family. Then from the airport I came to my new house where I started my new life in a new country. After two months when I come here, I joined my school at Catalina magnet high school. When I came to Catalina High School I felt happy because I found different friends from different countries and I learned some different languages in school to help my friends. After some months all the teachers knew me.

Refugee Life By Muskan6 Stories Of The Heart And Mind Spring 2012

When I first came to America it was really hard for me to know the culture and to study the people. When I was in Nepal I thought in America they’re just white and black… when I first saw all kinds of people I was very happy. And also I saw Nepali people and I talked to them. And one day I a saw bunch of people talking to each-other, and I came close to them but, they weren’t talking in Nepali, and English either, but they looked Nepali. And I asked them are you guys Nepali? They Said “NO”. I asked them again really? They were like “NO” and I asked them where are you guys from? They said Mexico I was like OMG and I said sorry people… they were like okay…fine and they asked me are you new in USA? I said yeah…!! I was new in the school. I didn’t even recognize my own teacher. Because they all looked the same and sometimes my Nepali friends helped me find the classes but, more than 10 times I got lost. After one week I was okay…then I could go to all my classes and I knew the teachers. I didn’t know most of the peers, I made many friends but, it took a while to figure out their name. And now I am at Catalina Magnet High School. Now I do know my teachers and it doesn’t take time to figure out friends names. Now I’m glad to be in the USA. Because the United States is the land of opportunities. You can accomplish your goals and you can be a successful per-son…

Sheemaby Krishna

Today is a wonderful day for me because I am go-ing to start at a new school. I feel so excited that I am going to have a new friend. Oh yep today is the first day of school and I went to my first period class. After that I saw a girl walking alone in the hallway and she looked like she was confused. I ran away near her and I said hi I am Krishna, and she said hello I am Sheema; hey can you help me find this class, and I say sure let me see your schedule and she gave me her schedule. I told her hey we have the same class and she says that’s great and I say can we be friends? And Sheema says of course. After that we used to walk together and we used

to go shopping together. Sheema is a smart, kind and helpful girl. She is little bit taller than me. Actually, Sheema liked to go shopping a lot like me. Sheema shared her feeling with me and I also shared my feeling with her. If we had any problems we solved our problems with each other. We went to visit different places together. We had a lot of fun when we got together. During the Summer my mom decided to take us to another city, and I felt so bad because Sheema didn’t go with me. When I got to an-other city I used to call and we talked on the phone. On August 19th I came back from my aunt’s house and to school and I saw her. The new teacher decided to take us on our first field trip. Our field trip was at the beach. It was hot and all of the students were swimming and Sheema was not swimming because she didn’t feel well. She was sitting on the chair and watching us. After a while one boy came near her and he sat down on the chair, and they introduced each other. When I came back from the beach she told me she liked him and he also liked her. The field trip was wonderful because we had a lot of fun and some people were dancing, and-some of them were eating. After 1 hour we come back home. The next morning we had to be ready to go to school. When we talked at school she told me about the boy she met. Sheema said he went to our same school. I said oh! My god I never saw him. We went to the 1st period class. When 1st period finished, we talked as we walked to another class again Then we saw that boy standing in the hallway watching her. He called her and he gave her a red rose and he said I love you, do you love me? Sheema was quiet for second. She said yep I also love you. They fell in love. The name of the boy is Karan; after that Karan and Sheema used to dated each other but, the problem is another girl liked karan and when she saw Sheema and Karan together she become jealous and she tried to fight with Sheema. After a few months, Sheema’s par-ents knew that Sheema and Karan were in love. They tried to separate them because they didn’t like Karan’s family.


When things are going well with your life and ev-erything around you, it is easy to have peace of mind. But feelings of peace can easily be broken. Anything that you don’t feel that is right comes along to de-

stroy it. It can also eradicate the good feelings that you have before and mess it up. When someone has said something mean to you, you don’t throw it back in their face but you run away from the situation, or the relationship and everything. But running away cannot solve your problems and calm you down. You need to find peace that will help you, no matter how hard the situation is. It’s very compulsive for someone to find peace by themselves without anybody’s help. You need to find peace that will hold you steady. You need a deep inner peace that isn’t based on circumstances. Here is how to have a lasting peace,”Realize that God loves you”.God wants to be involve in your life, in your de-cision and lastly in your heart. If you want peace, real peace, talk to God and he will give you peace.

Most relationships tend to fail, not because of absence. But I wonder with my boyfriend about how strong and wonderful of a relationship we have now. And relation-ships are only for two people as well as boyfriend and girlfriend but most stupid people don’t know how to count. In relationships we always need trust, love, care and understanding. This is what only true relationships are for. When someone really loves you and you don’t even know that person’s background it can be hard. So sometimes the person who loves you a lot feels bad and starts feeling like you are not good enough to be in someone’s life. In a first relationship you just try to play, but it will hurt you by playing with some-one’s life. When people have relationships with some-one else, they always want to be together with them and want to see them. The person is on their mind daily. In my relationship right now I feel scared some-times because I don’t know what is happening in my

future. I will hope that’s we will be successful and we can remain girlfriend and boyfriend.

When you move to the Untied States, and you don’t speak any English but you want to learn it, you should start talking to people who speak English. When I first started learning English, it was so hard for me. Even though I did not really understand what they were say-ing I kept trying to learn more but I couldn’t get it. Sometime you feel embarrassed, nervous or shy when you try to speak or understand English. It al-ways happens but if you keep trying you will learn someday. Some people learn very fast, but there are always ways to learn English no matter what. There are people who are going to help you learn but, English is not as easy as you think it is. It takes a long time for you to get it. If you go to school you always need to be in class-always. And do your work so that you can learn better English.

It’s hard for young kids to be wise, but you have a lot of stuff to do and learn in your life. My advice is to try to learn from other people’s mistakes and the good things too. Never let people tell you what to do, but if they are right do it and use your mind if this thinks are good or bad. The important things are to try to have old friends so you will learn from them the good things and get advice as much as you can. Always try to ask questions to older people because they have some bet-ter ideas and skills. Wisdom is good to have so you can be success-ful in this life. In your job or business, people won’t cheat you because you will already have learned your lesson from others. When you are wise in this life peo-ple will trust you more and believe in you. If you make a mistake don’t ever get mad at the person who tries to correct you, or give you a lesson. You should be proud of yourself because people care about you. Learn from your lesson. Even if you are wise, you can still make mistakes in this life. Try to improve your self and if you have a problem fix it with your mind, not with your body.

Today, I am going to write a love story. It happens in col-lege. The real condition of this love story is in college after the summer vacation. All stu-dents are in the college. Let me introduce you to the char-acters. There is a handsome boy. His name is Rajiv, and his friend’s name is Rabin. In this college there is one love mas-ter. His name is Aryan. He is

the master of love. He has a lot of girlfriends. Always, he utters a mobile number to make friendships with beautiful girls. In this college there is one beautiful and simple girl. Her name is Payel. Payel is not so modern, but a bubbly next door traditional girl. In school all stu-dents call her a sister. But, who can compete against the spirit of true love that Payel has with her childhood friend Rajiv. Payel loves Rajiv. She really loves Rajiv, but Rajiv looks innocent, except that he is an expert at flirt-ing. Everyone in the college knows how much Payel loves Rajiv. Maybe that is the reason that his entire friends always try to create some rumors about them. One day Rajiv proposed to Payel and declared her as his girlfriend but, Rajiv also confirmed to Rabin that this love is just a temporary one to have some fun. Pay-el was alone in her flat and Rajiv came there to look at the picture album, where she kept all the memorable photos of their sweet friendship. One day Rajiv, Rabin, Payel, and another friend decided to go to Alibagh for a tour. Alibagh is the name of the place to visit. They went to Alibagh with their friend for a tour. On that night, Rajiv wanted to fulfill his lust, but Payel shielded that action as she had true love for him. Payel slap Rajiv. The slap proved a disaster for their relationship. They wanted to break up and Rajiv challenged all friends that one day the most beautiful girl of this college will be his girlfriend. After that one day he met a girl. Her name is Alisha. Alisha entered into college. Within one week Alisha became Rajiv’s girlfriend after all, Rajiv’s astrology really worked. One day Rajiv acted like his hand was broken near Alisha. He danced with his false broken hand, only for the sake

of Alisha. She was like an ultra modern dresser which provokes other people. Was it really a small problem for a boy like Rajiv? On those days Rajiv’s friend Rabin and Payel are getting too close to each other. On Rajiv’s birthday par-ty he had a fight with Rabin about Payel. Alisha came to know about the past relationship of Rajiv. Alisha is a fool. After all Alisha knew about payel and Rajiv’s past. Alisha breaks up with Rajiv. Again Rajiv goes back with Payel. Rajiv says sorry to Payel. Payel forgives Rajiv about the past because Payel still loves Rajiv. Ra-jiv and Payel get back together. True love never ends.

Chess helps make our mind sharp and makes it active. The main organ we all have is a brain. We should care about it first of all. The main things to keep your brain in a good shape are mental activity. Your brain is a very powerful “device”. It is much more perfect than any computer or anything else. For example, you wake up in the morning, go to the bathroom, take your breakfast etc. you perform all those activities without thinking re-ally. If you make similar work again and again, there is NO need to use your brain. Almost all people play chess to make their mind sharp. It helps build your mind. Chess is a game played by two people on a

chessboard with six-teen pieces, eight are the same and the rest are different. Each type of piece moves in a dis-

tinct way. The goal of the game is to checkmate. The player controlling the white army is named "White"; the player controlling the black pieces is named "Black.” When two players are playing chess, if a player's king is placed in check and there is no legal move that play-er can make to escape check, then the king is said to be checkmated, the game ends, and that player loses. When we play chess, we have to know that, when a friend moves their players, we have to move on cor-rectly. It a good way to build our mind.

Love Poem LoveAs surprising meLove spreads as I remove itYou touched my heart that used to be heartless in front of the worldYou let me breatheYou let my hurt change to tearsDon’t leave me ***** Don’t leave me

You sleep deep inside of my heartComing deep inside of my memoriesI can’t let you go away *****I can’t let you go away

Because of mixed fate I lost your handI call your name inside of me everydayDon’t love anyone *****Don’t love anyone

I go back to the day I had met you a million timesLike luck, I met you that dayThe words I can’t say backed up like dustDon’t leave me *****Don’t leave meI can’t let you go*****I can’t let you goDon’t love anyone else**** *Don’t love anyone else

Life teaches you to love. Love is a gift in our life that can turn the frowns into smiles on our face. How do you feel about love? How do you get love from another person? By respecting other people; if you need to get love from any person you have to respect everyone. Love begins with respect.

Love is not from novels: Love is something inside of us that we spread in life for everybody. Love starts from your family, and love is in our community.

Love is from our emotions: But you can it use for good direction. It is not for everybody, only for your heart to choose one person forever.

Love is a promise to another person: You have to respect your promise and love begins from two people and spreads out to the community.

I want a walk and a smile with you and I don’t want to miss a second of itMy life is beautiful because of you dearHug me hold me until my tears are dryIt hurts me to know how sometimes I can be selfish around youI am getting crazy because of youEveryday I try to find for you true love I try to buy you something valuable but there’s nothing more valuable then youI try to sing to you what I feel everydayI try to be the hand you hold everydayYour beauty is a sunset I watch every morningThere will be pain in my heart sweetly so don’t leave me and come join me in this thing called love.

Do you know how to get along with your teachers and partici-pate in class? Here is some advice: be ready to answer questions from your teachers, and be respectful to your teachers.

For example, I myself work harder in class and answer questions from my teachers. First, I respect all of my teachers; I become friends with all my teach-ers.

A good way to participate in class is to raise your hand when no one knows an answer or anything. Also your teacher will appreciate your answer. Just don’t be shy; be brave and answer questions for your grade and for yourself. Just be positive, because there is never one right answer to anything, you want your teacher to see that you are able to answer. If you think to yourself that it is a wrong answer, it doesn’t matter. Just try and that’s all. To be friends with your teachers is very impor-tant. It will help you with your grade and other prob-lems. Just ask, don’t be an angry person who always gets mad every time.

ings to let people know that they have talent. If you want to draw better you might get a teacher or someone who knows how to draw well. Some people around the world know how to draw, some do paintings, or do tattoos of some kind of designs. People like to draw cool designs all over the world, because they want to be famous or just do it for fun. People might like to draw but some don’t like it because they aren’t good.

If I Could Have JustOne Wish

If I could have just one wish I would wish to wake up every-day to The sound of your breath on my neck,The warmth of your lips on my cheek, The touch of your fingers on my skin And the feeling of your heart beating with mine….Knowing that I could never find that feeling With anyone other than you.I love the way you look at me,Your eyes so bright and blue,I love the way you kiss me, Your lips so soft and smooth. I love the way you make me happy,

And the way you show you care I love the way you say, “I love you,”And the way you’re always there for me.I love the way you touch me, Always sending chills down my spine. I love that you are with me always, And glad that you are mine. I love the way you hug me,It tells me how much you want me,I love the way you talk to me < 3 <3 <3

Friendship by NeelamFriendship is the connec-tion between heart. Friend-ship is more than just being friends. It is the con-nection deep within the spiritual soul that is an un-earned gift of love. Friend-ship only lasts when it is nourished with kindness,

empathy and undertanding. It is also the gift of god to share our love with each other. When friendship comes from the heart, it is a link in our soul that cannot be broken even when there are many problems. Friendship is very necessary to each and every person.

There are many ways to get A’s in school. First if the teacher tells you to write notes you have to write them to get points. Another ways is to listen to the teacher

grades you will be able to get a scholarships. If you have a good GPA your parents and family will be happy with your good grade. So you have to do your best in class and do all the work that the teacher gives you.

by NoraCan’t Forget Someone

Angels above me! Every single day I feel like I am a young man who doesn’t have any future. I imagine what I have done and accomplished in the past 17 years of my life. I started asking myself who am I? Am I a lost boy? What do I want to do with my life? Is it drugs or crimes? I never got the perfect answer. I keep think-ing and thinking however, I never get the right answer. One day I heard the voice speaking to me. The first time, it was so scary, I was shaking and suddenly, I heard a voice. The voice that said,” Don’t be afraid! You’re a strong and powerful young man, why are you asking yourself questions?” I didn’t know what to say. Instead, I ran as fast as I could. The next day, I said to myself,” was that a ghost?” I was so afraid to die. I didn’t get the answer I was looking for. Did I go insane? I did. I just heard a voice out of nowhere. After that day, I always thought that it was my imagination. I kept living my life normally, just like other teenagers. How-ever, I wasn’t normal, I was different. How different? I don’t know. I started acting strange, doing drugs, steal-ing and committing murder. I became evil. All that time Angels were watching me and one day, they changed my path. Angels above me altered my life for ever and ever.
