Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: When I realized I was meant to be a writer
25 of 54

A Not-So Sad Ending On my first day at Linden High school, I could not help but get lost in the shuffle. The winding hallways seem endless, the classes dizzying, the upper-classmen as tall as giants.

Global warning is no longer an assumption. It is a fact.Even though a global movement is needed to truly reserve and prevent further devastating environmental effects, why not start with your very own state?While sweeping state legislation does help the problem on a macro-level, each individual citizen can do his or her own p...

While the pay wasn't too much to brag about, as it was barely above minimum wage, I did take full advantage of the 30 percent off discount.
