Running Behind

“Huff huff,” Trying to catch my breath knowing I have to keep going. The sweat on my face is telling me to speed up. I push on, checking the time on my watch. I can't stop until i’m done. I see the others finish. I'm close. “Yes!” I finished my math test on time.

  • Relax

    My day is done. My voice was heard. Now I can relax. Climb into my cozy pajamas, and rest. One long week has gone by, and the next two days are to myself. As I walk home I can see the busy traffic of people trying to get home to their families.
  • Mom

    My Dad, sold. My sister, sold. My dog… wants food. My Mom… not convinced. I want my family to move to Mars. I want to start fresh and breathe new air. Not from a different country or anything like that, but a new planet.
