Outside of the tennis court I am given many opportunities to succeed, but few to be successful.
They had counted on three little kids running under their feet in their thirties, three teenagers fighting over the car in their forties, and three young grown ups asking for money in their fifties.
It was a strange light-headed feeling: sounds were muffled by a high pitched buzzing noise, and the world around me started to morph, spin, and slip.
Made entirely of cement, the room seemed to generate cold hostility.
Dust and cobwebs line the windows so thick that barely any light filters in.

My grandmother always says that people don’t understand the seriousness of things until the fear of God is put into them.
Perhaps the math class was just a catalyst for me to realize my fear of being by myself, but it was not just the loneliness from being the only freshman in my math class that I tried to avoid; I tried to escape any situation in which I had to be on my own.
It had a pulley system that connected a bucket to the house we passed food through, a long wooden stepladder, a rope swing, and even a tire swing.
The island in the kitchen is where my family comes together to share meals.
We stayed up all night multiple times whispering across the room about what is going on in our lives.
I have to do everything last: I become 18 last, I become 21 last and I learn how to rive last.
Costco was my hometown, my element, and some new employee suddenly knew what was best for me?
Tahoe smells great, I thought to myself. We should get some pine trees and natural dirt and granite back home.
The MA gym doubles as the MA dojo …
On the ground there was everything you could think of that had to do with Barbie.
