The Start of a New Day On June 8th of 2010‚ I had taken my first step out of Junior High school and onto a next level‚ High School. I would always hear bad assumptions about high school. For example‚ many assumed you would get bullied in high school‚ just because we were freshmen. That’s what had always thought until my sister told me the real story of High School.

Sitting around a radio listening to a broadcast just doesn’t

I woke up at the same time‚ followed the same routine‚ completed the same‚ old boring work at office and went to bed just feeling tired ". When it is going to be the same every single day what is there to celebrate about it or even be excited about it. Hopefully there is a handful of people who think the other way.
