Author has written 19 stories for Life, Politics, Friendship, Nature, Love, General, Family, and Religion. Hi! I'm a 15 year old girl who lives in Baltimore, MD. I like to read, write, play piano, and go to the mall with friends. I'm very open to constructive criticism, and, frankly, my work could probably use the help! Feel free to email me if you have any questions. -Jessica "Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes of men. Silently and imperceptibly, as we wake or sleep, we grow stong or weak; and at last some crisis shows what we have become." -Brooke Foss Westcott "Between what happened and what didn't happen, what could have happened exists like a dream, suspended halfway between the safe, dark night of illusion and the harsh dawn of wakening reality.” -Ill Met by Moonlight by Sarah A. Hoyt (novel) "How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these." -George Washington Carver "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." Thanks to everyone who has already reviewed! I'm having trouble keeping my stanzas separated by spaces when I upload my poems. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? If you do, please email me and let me know! Thanks! | |||||
