Autobiography
Sunflower
Last year all of my sunflowers died. I started the seeds early and followed all the basic instructions to raise the plants, but as soon as I planted them outside, they all disappeared slowly. Supposedly the bunnies in my backyard love them as salad. This year I promised myself no matter what, my sunflowers would live. From the mistakes of the previous year, I took notes and started my seeds indoors, early. On about five egg containers my little seeds began their lives with a moist touch of soil. I kept them by the window where the sun reaches the most. From ritual watering and motivational speeches, my baby sunflowers started sprouting one by one. It is a joy to watch the seeds sprout with the potential of growing into a forest. I started daydreaming of a walk in our backyard, surrounded by sunflowers.

What’s going on?
A cold shiver ran up my spine as flooding thoughts raced through my mind. My life would change forever that day; I wasn't sure how, but everything moving forward would never be the same. I was a 6th grader, just minding my own business in pre-algebra class when I heard the call. “Mrs. Gorly, can you please have Jessica come to the front office?” “Jessica Graham?” she replied. “No, Phoenix,” they clarified, “Jessica Phoenix.”

Chapter of My Life
Life on campus was a simple affair for someone like me, born into a modest family. Yet, within the humble surroundings of my dorm room, a fierce determination burned within me. It was a resolve to emulate the girl in the room next door – the one who seemed to effortlessly possess both beauty and intellect. However, my brain, it appeared, was an uncooperative partner in this endeavor. It would sulk whenever I attempted to study, displaying a stubborn streak that rejected my every effort. Whenever I tried to nourish it with knowledge, my thoughts wandered aimlessly, devoid of a true anchor. I found myself wondering aloud, "Must I search far and wide for contentment? Wouldn't a wealthy, reasonably attractive hero who accepts me as I am suffice?"

Chapter 17
I just turned seventeen and still worked at McDonald's after school. Being a junior in high school was better than being a freshman and it had its perks. I got to drive everywhere along with CO-OP which meant that I got to leave school after half a day. We had just switched to college block classes, so we only had four classes a day. I wasn't having the time of my life, but things were good.
