Today I am submitting a piece that I wrote a little while ago. I am submitting it not only because it is an assignment for my creative writing class, but I also think it would be pretty cool to be published online or in your magazine. I’m submitting this piece in particular because I feel that it is unique to a lot of other work out in the world. I don’t want to submit some cliché, fiction work, but rather something that somebody may have never heard of before.

The piece that I wrote is about the life of a public bus. It is creative nonfiction piece. I used the idea of when I had boarded a public bus to go downtown a few weeks ago and I ran with it. That day, I realized how beat up those buses could get. I thought it would be interesting to write a piece as if the bus was a person who was becoming beaten up.

I am currently a junior in high school and writing is interesting to me. Sure I may not be the best writer right now, but there is so much time to get better. Writing, to me, is a way to get my thoughts on to paper and to other people. It is a way to tell what is on my mind so people beside myself can actually hear it.

Thanks for your time, and I hope you enjoy it!
