After everyone left the New Religion household, Carl asked, "Did 당신 have a good birthday, Paul?" Paul said, "It was the best. I had no idea 당신 were doing all this for me." Erin said, "We thought it would be nice to throw a surprise party for you, since you've never had one." Lola said, "Yeah. 당신 really surprised me on my twenty-first birthday, Paul. I had to return the favor." Paul smiled at his mates, and they smiled back. He offered to help his mates clean up, but Erin insisted that he go on to bed. She said, "You look tired. I think 당신 deserve a rest." Paul proceeded to get ready for bed. When he got into his bed, he was so exhausted that he fell asleep before his head hit the pillow. Erin, Carl, and Lola finished cleaning up, and they went to check on Paul. He was sound asleep, but he didn't have the covers on him. Erin gently covered him up so that he could stay warm. She then stroked his hair and whispered, "Good night, Paul." She quietly slipped out of the room with Carl and Lola. Lola said, "I think we should call it a night." Carl said, "I agree." Erin said, "I'm glad Paul had a good birthday." Lola said, "Me too." They then went to their beds for the night.

It was probably a result of her allergies to ragweed pollen. Ragweed had been in bloom, and its pollen was spreading about the area. Erin's doctor told her to get plenty of rest and take some medication for her symptoms. Later that day, her friends,...

I pretended that I needed to use the restroom so that I could cry. I hid in the stall and cried. A few moments...

After losing my best friend, Barry, I slipped into a depression. My grandparents refused to see me. My less consistent 프렌즈 turned their backs on me. The only ones there for me were my aunt and uncle, my brother, Daniel, and my cousin, Barbara Ann. I had very little, if any, self-confidence. I didn't even try to confront Grandpa again, fearing he would beat me again. The only thing that brought me any happiness was music. I still enjoyed the Beatles above all others, but I liked to explore different bands as well. I overheard someone talking about a metal band called System of a Down, so...

A few months passed, and I was still suspicious of Grandpa. He continued to give out hints that he probably murdered my father when I was really young. Grandma never spoke to me, unless I spoke to her. When I asked her about my father, she dodged the 질문 and changed the subject. Either she was involved, 또는 she was trying to protect Grandpa. One cold December day, I was walking in the forest with my dog. I suddenly heard someone faintly say my name. I looked over and saw Barry. He was lying in the snow, shivering. I said, "Oh, my God! Barry! What happened?!" He said weakly, "I was walking...

Despite the fact that I no longer had Christian faith, I still went to church to amuse my grandparents. I said, "I don't believe in their ways anymore." My aunt said, "I know, Erin. This is to amuse Grandma and Grandpa. It makes them happy." I said, "All right, but here's a warning. Someday, I'm going to get tired of smiling and nodding." One day, I did. Because of my opinionated 답변 to Grandma's 질문 in Sunday School, I got kicked out of Sunday School. When Grandpa found out, I knew I was in trouble. After lunch that Sunday, Grandpa said to me, "Let's go outside." That never meant...

I was always told that the 초 일 of school is never as bad as the first. It's true. My 초 일 of school wasn't as bad as the first. It was worse.

My aunt said, "Winter, try to see the good side. You're not hurt too badly. I'm sure you'll...

Moving to Tennessee was bittersweet for me. I was closer to family members, but it was also a big adjustment. I lived in Illinois for the first twelve years of my life. When I started school, I tried to make some friends. A group of kids invited me to sit with them during lunch. "Hooray! New friends!" I thought to myself. I introduced myself. I talked about being from Illinois. To my surprise, they did not make fun of my accent. One of them explained, "You have that there Midwestern accent. It's the accent that doesn't offend nobody. That's why most of them newscasters are Midwestern." I said,...
