My parents had been planning a trip to Florida for quite some time now and I couldn’t wait for them to leave.

Online school became the only option in that situation. As a way of staying busy and getting out of the house I always worked odd jobs that would hire

We were brought here from a small country off the coast of Africa‚ the country of Uganda. I will never forget that fateful day.

On August 18‚ 2001 my family and I left for a vacation in the Bahamas at the Atlantis Resort. We crammed all of our suitcases inside the car‚ which of course we had one too many. Before leaving on every vacation‚ my family has this tradition where we all put our hands on top of each others and yell "We’re going to the Atlantis!"‚ or whatever destination we are heading to.
