I am very interested and fascinated how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each other.

I just hope I remember to tell my kids that they are as happy as I look in my old photographs. And I hope that they believe me.

I used to listen to it all the time when I was little and thinking about grown-up things. I would go to my bedroom window and stare at my reflection in the glass and the trees behind it and just listen to the song for hours. I decided then that when I met someone I thought was as beautiful as the song, I should give it to that person. And I didn’t mean beautiful on the outside. I meant beautiful in all ways.


Marisa S's piece on spending spring break with her grandma is very relatable and has a valuable lesson. It's about learning to appreciate the things others don't have the privilege of having. It is important to spend time with and respect your elder relatives. This first person narrative's brilliance and clarity left me speechless.
