It seemed to be the longest bus ride on which I had ever been. Every passenger had the same terrified look on their face. Each one of us seemed to be thinking the same thing. Asking ourselves‚ "Do we really want to go where this bus was taking us?" We all knew the destination ‚ and thought we were ready to go there. Many of us had visited this place‚ or places like it in our imaginations when we had played as kids. Was it a dream come true‚ or nightmare? The welcoming committee was

For my Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting assignment I attended an AA meeting held at Annunciation RC Church in Paramus. I was a bit nervous before coming in to the meeting. I had my own personal feelings towards alcoholics for some time. I had a few relatives that dealt with alcohol with some of their lives.

My life started with my long and hard birth on July 14‚ 1993. I came into the world with a large scream and was immediately placed into some sort of category. The doctors and nurses took a quick look at me‚ and pronounced me as a girl. This social label of being a girl was now my gender‚ which is something I had no say in. Every since that very moment in time where my parents were told I was a girl‚ I have been treated according to my gender. This meant that my parents automatically dressed me in

was brought into Malaysia by sea. Along with a few hundred of my friends in various shapes and sizes‚ we were carefully wrapped in tissue and plastic before being packed into boxes. Unfortunately‚ I was plagued by sea-sickness the minute I was escorted on board. Nausea and queasiness were my constant companions as the sea vessel rocked and rolled during the tedious journey.

When I was about to turn six my entire family moved‚ so I changed studios to the one I am at.
