It's not like if you are 1 pound over you'll be an outcast. So for all those girls who think that being overweight is the worst possible thing, It's not. It's the big fat lie!

Sent Away

In 2002 my mom found out that she had cancer. At one point, she couldn't take care of me anymore. So I was sent to live with my cousins in Biddiford, Maine. At first it was really scary, but then I got used to it. It was really stressing to know that my mom was suffering and I couldn't see her for two months.

An strange Blackness

I am flying but there is something under me. I look down; there is a horse uderneath me.

I have just landing a jump; I blink and dust clouds my eyes.there is a coffing noise then the anouncer says that my class is over and to line up in the center of the arenia.
