You would n ever know by looking at me or talking to me that my family and I have been homeless before. For the kids that have been homeless before it doesn't make you any less worthy, or intelligent than anyone else. There are many things you can do not only to help yourself with the feelings of being embarrassed or ashamed but you can also help others like you, be apart of organizations, and volunteer your time to others that have been in our situation of being homeless so they can feel better
I walked into a diner at three in the morning after slamming into a stranger on their way out. It was one of those 24/7-except-Christmas-and-Thanksgiving-and-sometimes-Labor-Day diners just on this side of being a twee dump desperately pulled from the fifties. Two guys in trilbies sitting in a booth against a wall were hunched over their cups of steaming coffee whispering. I wondered if they were spies or something of the like and thought tepidly about their government svengalis. I sat on a red-cushioned

We are focused on two characters in the scene. SARAH, 18 – 20's, a mute girl who sits alone and reads, and TOM, 18 – 20's, a charismatic boy who often puts his foot in his mouth. SARAH is already sitting at a table with no one else around. TOM approaches a seat at the table nearly TOM (sitting down) Hi TOM (taking books out) You flat out with exams TOM I'm up to my eyeballs in reading. I mean, Shakespeare's great of course, but there's only so much you can read till it all looks

[Suddenly he hangs up the cell phone and places it on the table with a bang. The song ends – everyone ambles back to their seats. With that, a powerful gust of wind blows the doors open -- the snow flies in. A loud, thunderous sound of the howling wind shakes the place as the lights suddenly flash on and off.
The next morning, Winston walked into the kitchen, he had only gotten lost a couple of times trying to find it. Luckily, the ship’s staff was more than happy to help. As he walked in, he saw Storm and Pan of Neverland fixing their plate of food he believed to of seen at least once in his life. Winston couldn't remember the last time he saw so much food in one place. He sat down next to Storm and she began helping him fix his plate. He was still sore and recovering from mistreatment. “Our plan today
Just another Angel “Time is almost up girls, two minutes left to get your food down. Oh, and Angel, would you please roll up your sleeves.” Margaret's words reverberate through my head. I’m at the moment more concerned about the visiting hour than about the three fish fingers that are still left on my plate. I’m going to get a penalty if I don’t finish my meal, but it doesn’t bother me. All of my electronics are already taken away. I know this will be the first time someone from school is going to

You are trapped in a wild cave in the mountains of Afghanistan behind enemy lines, avoiding hostile attacks, just trying to survive another day. All in the service of your country. You’re probably exhausted, a little afraid, and have risked almost everything. Now, let’s switch to another visualization. You are working in the back of a chain-restaurant, putting together a sandwich, making sure you add the extra mayonnaise stated in the order. You feel under compensated, and ask your boss to raise
The Dinner Table Not too long ago, things were good. Family dinners occurred and breadsticks were broken. Cousins, aunts, and uncles gathered around the kitchen table. Conversations about school events and job promotions littered the air. When the turkey or whatever festive meal we were eating hit the table, disagreements stopped and love surrounded. I never knew what it was like to have a family where both Mom and Dad were at the head of the table, but it didn’t matter because until one Thanksgiving
In the early 90s, Sarah declare she needed a desk. That’s all she had to say, and I started looking into building one. My last project was solid wood, and since I hadn’t done a project in veneer, I thought I would try that. I decided to make a drop-front desk and called a company in Pennsylvania that sold veneer. He said he had just gotten in a bookend piece of veneer that would make a beautiful front, and I bought it immediately. I paid $50 for the two pieces, and when it came, they were
You’re starving. You haven't eaten anything since that greasy taco at lunch. Pacing impatiently, you decide you’ll actually set the table before you're asked. When you set the table, the smell of chicken and gravy make your knees weak. Closing your eyes, you inhale deeply. The toaster pops, and it has your ears ringing as you place folded napkins under the polished silverware. You can almost see the chicken in gravy on toast, almost feel it, and taste this savory, heavenly meal in your mouth. Dinner

Cubistic in style, the subjects of his painting are three women from Greek mythology commonly known as the three graces. The women were daughters of Zeus who represented traits such as youthfulness, elegance, and beauty.

Camp Bernie. Three full days of camping, activities, and craziness in the heat of the sun. Three days away from home. Three days of quite a few memorable moments. Camp Bernie was the 7th grade school trip that I had to go on. At first, I did not want to go at all, but some motivation from my parents and some thoughts about just ‘going for it’ brought me to go on the trip. And, honestly, I’m still not sure about my decision. Whatever my thoughts on the trip, I still went and

the server approaches the table and check on them if they need anything they would break eye contact. They could go for almost four to five minutes long with eye contact without breaking it. I could tell they didn't care about how awkward it would be, or worried about how it could be misinterpreted. I didn't notice that they were frequently looking away, they would look at the menu for a second then back with the eye contact. Neither one of them had their phone on the table, and were probably trying
