Abduction Survivor

When I was a moody teenager, about 14 years old, I listened to Green Day and Nirvana on my Walkman every day on the way home from school. Being a freshman is such a confusing, yet exciting time. Fresh new hormones pumping through your body as you go through adolescence, and a fresh new crush every week. I was just beginning to cozy into a fun group of friends, and found my classes to be such a welcome change from middle school, I was actually interested in what was being taught!
