what's it like?...being happy?
you remember right?
(story written as if i was Ruby Bridges for English)
I exceeded our of the car to go to somewhere none of my kind had gone before. was i scared? yes. was i nervous? who wouldn't be. was i inferior? not at all. i do not remember all of the thoughts that had raced through my head that day, but it must have been a lot. i say this becuz i remember trembling as i walked into a school forbidden to "people like me" do you kno how hard it was for me to go to school, as a child, everyday and face the same angry people and the same filthy comments? but i went. everyday. for, i knew what i had to do. i had to get through this. if not for myself, for everyother black child that deserved a good education. After all these years a lot has changed. but i don't regret it. i don't regret a thing.(the end.)
as i walked into my room-i had fallen out of care. i didn't kno what was to happen to me. i don't think i was scared. i don't remember feeling much of anything. i had seen it. seen what it was like to live a life that had no meaning, no purpose. what did i hav to lose? i came to find out the answer to that question. i lost a lot. are you willing to try? someday you will be. it can only be up from here. you can't go down.
"To See A World Unknown" (by me) (another story for English)
If i could travel through time, i would go to the future. i would go to see how everything in my life would turn out. I would want to kno so i wouldn't doubt my decisions in the present, and i would kno i was doing the right thing. i would also kno that even though some situations in the present might hurt me, i would kno everything is going to work out and that would give me motivation to keep going. i would try not to change anything in the present when i got back because it would also change the future. After all, what's the point in seeing the future if i'm going to change it? it owuld change my life in the present becuz i would kno what is going to happen and that would change my outlook on life.
"i wanted you to feel what i had felt"
i knew He wouldn't let me down. He knew what he was doing all the while. (i wanna go to a cinema...) i had to learn to trust Him with everything. and when i realized that, everything is seeming to fall into place. what's the one thing i've wanted for the longest time? i got it. it was worth the wait. now if i can just wait a little while longer, it will be complete. and everything will be in it's place. this journey will end and we'll start a new one-together! later days
