army trials hammers
This camp is a forge for the army; it's testing our mettle. Instead of heat and hammer, our trials are cold and hunger. Question is, what are we made of?
ties people parent
Emma is a mattress who got thrown off the truck when her parents split up. It's not like you can blame a mattress when people don't tie it down tight enough.

Do I want to die from the inside out or the outside in?
borders wintergirls
I won the wintergirl trip over the border into dangerland.
our-veterans proud veteran
I am super proud of being an American, but we fail our veterans every day.
listening want world
I needed to hear the world but didn't want the world to know I was listening.
teacher butterfly hair
My English teacher has no face. She has uncombed stringy hair that droops on her shoulders. The hair is black from her part to her ears and then neon orange to the frizzy ends. I can't decide if she had pissed off her hairdresser or is morphing into a monarch butterfly. I call her Hairwoman.
sleep good-day grandfather
It had been a good day, all things considered. I had managed rather well on my own. I opened Grandfather's Bible. This is what it would be like when I had my own shop, or when I traveled abroad. I would always read before sleeping. One day, I'd be so rich I would have a library full of novel to choose from. But I would always end the evening with a Bible passage.

We turned us into wintergirls, and when she tried to leave, I pulled her back into the snow because I was afraid to be alone.
mom block dark
I want to be in fifth grade again. Now, that is a deep dark secret, almost as big as the other one. Fifth grade was easy -- old enough to play outside without Mom, too young to go off the block. The perfect leash length.
fighting america judging
I wish America would stop judging and criticizing teens and instead, try to understand the battles they have to fight every day.
anarchy cheerleader form
If I ever form a clan, we'll be the anti-cheerleaders and walk under the bleacher forming mild acts of mayhem.

Having a friend made everything else suck less.
digging-a-hole rest-of-life digging
I was good at digging holes. It was the rest of life I sucked at.
