Before the Summer Solstice
The sun was gradually waving farewell to spring. Sebastian stood on a secluded beach to witness the ending with Cordelia, the most beautiful woman he has ever met. As the magnificent orange ball of energy sank, a tear formed in her eyes.

Jungle Expedition for Beauty
Raindrops beat down upon my head relentlessly, drenching my hat completely. I’d give anything for an umbrella to protect me from the downpour, but I need to focus on my mission. I have been sent into the heart of the jungle to retrieve a precious treasure and walk cautiously through the dense foliage, hoping not to attract any attention to me. The last thing I need is an armada of animals to attack me to abolishment.

The Spirit of Love
“This pic, right here. This one is my favorite,” Maria smiles, holding an iPad and pointing to a picture of three young women, sitting in the sky-blue colored booth of a Denny’s restaurant. Maria sat in the middle, with her long curly brown hair. Her middle school best friend Bridget, a slender Asian American, sits on her right. Imani, an African American woman wearing a graduation cap, is on her left. All three have radiating smiles, basking in liberation from college.

Annual Assessment of Students
She loathed the state mandated test. It measured a fraction of what students actually learned. The school’s administration changed and brought a different instructional strategy. She was allowed to implement it and create a curriculum to support the student’s learning in the classroom. Test day arrived. She sat and observed the students scrawling on paper; working out each problem diligently. One by one, they completed the test. She anxiously waited for the scores to drop, analyzing each child’s performance and comparing it to their previous year’s results. Joy radiated on her face seeing the success of her students.

A Small Moment Battle
It is always hard to believe how a destructive event can open an unexpected path in life. To this day, I am grateful it occurred because I may not be sitting here in front of my iPad, recalling the events of that year in the 90s. It all began with a knock on the door, one month before my senior year began.

Macrocosm Airlines
“Welcome to Macrocosm Airlines and be ready to fly the universe!” The eye-catching slogan of the newest airlines. There was a drawing for their grand opening celebration, and I was lucky to win a free flight to a destination of my choice. Now, 300 meters in the air, I am enjoying the perks of the airlines in a small aircraft. I turn to my window seat-mate, excitement bursting from my eyes.
