Say It In Six

Scars: like memories, slowly fading away 

Future's so bright, gotta wear shades 

The Rest...

Experience is key to one’s survival

Everyone makes mistakes; live with it

New experiences, new faces, new life

True friends are there for you

Truth is what's brought to light

Replacement hurts, people are not disposable

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

The rush is what makes life

Lighten up, i'm not that serious

NPR "Story Corps" Response

Sometimes, when you read a story, it’s not just about the content that you read that makes it interesting. The topic alone can draw your curiosity from personal interests or past recollections. While I was searching through the numerous stories, I found one that had caught my eye. The title of it was “A Father's Memories of Auschwitz” (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4467864). Even though there wasn’t much there in terms of an actual story, I had a natural pull to the subject itself. 

Recently, I have read the book Night about the holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel. In this book he describes the full effect of the war on him and the Jewish people. He suffered though months of starvation and abuse in multiple concentration camps, including Auschwitz. To see someone else sharing their story enthralls me. It shows true courage when someone faces their devils. It brings back memories that should be forgotten but then again it is the truth.

 In class we've learned that sometimes it’s hard to accept the truth but eventually it will catch up with us. One must accept one’s life and make the best of it. In my life I will strive to make the right choices so that I won’t have to live a lie. One of the truths that I can pull from the person I am right now is my strong determination. I push through, thick and thin, to achieve my goals. When writing a story, the author should captivate the reader by making him interested in what the author has to say and in the end wanting more.
