Voting at my old Elementary School
My Grade 8 graduation took place inside my elementary school’s gymnasium. It was so hot in there you could’ve cooked an egg on a projector. I wore a suit for the occasion, of course. A photo taken moments before the … Continue reading

I Can Only Imagine
Have you ever listened to a kid tell a story? They’ll start off with the truth, but halfway through the story, they’ll call out the read-option play from their playbook, which gives them the ability to either continue telling the … Continue reading

“I’m 8…and a Half”
This summer is my third time working at camp. Children I interact with on a daily basis were not alive for 9/11. They were not alive when I graduated from elementary school. And some weren’t even alive when I started … Continue reading
The College Graduation Speech I Would Give
Congratulations, you made it. In a few minutes, you will all come up on stage, receive your degree, stare out into the crowd in the direction of your family so their picture of you isn’t of the side of your … Continue reading
