  • Twenty-Five Driving Part 3

    The day I drove my car home was slightly chilly. My hometown was starting to gear up for the tourist season and traffic was heavy, but not as heavy as it was about to be the next weekend. My grandparents had pulled the car I was buying from my sister into the main parking lot…

  • Drawing Lines

     I have been working in retail for over a decade now, and today is the first time I have stood up to a customer in any real sense and denied them service. It’s sad to me that it’s such an intense feeling, because I can remember a lot of times I should have. And I…

  • My Planner and my Stickers and my Colored Pens

     I did not have to try very hard in school and never learned how to keep myself organized. Even in classes where I struggled, there was always extra credit, there was always something I could do.
