As he awoke he asked me to tell him about my day since it was difficult for me to remain asleep because of the thoughts pertaining to it. I sat on the satin sheets for fifteen minutes, watching the clock tick as I sorted through my jumbled thoughts to figure out what I needed to say. I simply told him, “I don’t know how to make you understand what I felt today after I heard that in class”. He
The following story was published anonymously in an Aboriginal newspaper [15]. Like many of our mob, my first label was ‘abandoned’, then ‘ward of the State’ which was the start of a journey that for many years I felt wasn’t mine to have.

I saw my two friends with crimson blood all over their faces and deep gashes on their arms. The front window had been smashed. I could just see the bonnet of the car.
"Go ahead, you wuss, only three more reps," I murmured under my breath. I was in the rec center, doing twists. It had been a difficult day, so I chose to torment myself intentionally.

“Ready, set, action!” Standing on the sidewalk of my middle school, I was directing my first movie, unprofessionally but fearlessly. I barely had any rest the night before since I had panicked terribly about my whimsical project. The idea of making a movie had been as perfect as a fairy tale until I decided to turn it into reality. “Ok, what we shot today was completely behind the schedule, and we have to revise Wang’s lines and redo those two scenes.
