Stories Of My Life

2 Stage

Today was my second day of helping out at stage but I got there earlier than I was meant to so I went out by the fountain and hung out with Tyler (he went to me grade and middle school) Isea (can't spell his name and I met him yesterday when I was backstage with Abigail and Jade) two other boys one girl besides Juliet (but Juliet is pretty sweet) but she asked me if I'm a boy or girl I usually freeze for a few seconds when is happened but said, "Boy." She thought I'm a girl and I ended up explaining that I'm FTM transgender but me and Tyler mostly chatted the rest of lunch then I went into the dressing room/music room and me and one of the other teen volunteers just messed around on the piano while the cast members watched a movie then I had to go backstage and I ended up breaking down and Juliet helped me with that but later we were talking and were friends and this weird slow love song started playing in the background and we both were like that's awkward and laughed a little before finished our conversation but Jade ended up taking me up the stairs into the cool lighting space that shines light on the stage we sat there until the next scene change then we went back down the stairs and backstage and just hung out for the next hour until rehearsal was done. Until next up date~Asher

To This Day
Shane K.

When I was a kid I used to think pork chops and karate chops were the same thing
I thought they were both pork chops
And cause my grandmother thoughts it was cute and they were my favorite, she let me keep doing it
No big deal
Right?
But before I found out far kids aren't designed to climb trees I fell out of a tree and bruised the right side of my body
I was afraid to tell my grandmother about cause I thought I'd get in trouble for playing somewhere I shouldn't 've been
The next day the gym teacher noticed the bruise and I got sent to the principals office and from there I got to another with a really nice lady that ask me all sorts of questions about my life at home
I saw no reason to lie
As far as I was concerned life was pretty good
I told her when ever I'm sad my grandmother gives me, karate chops!
This led to a full scale investigation were I was pulled from the home for, three days!
Until some asked me how I got the bruises
Word of the silly little incident quickly spread through the school and I earned my first nickname....
Pork chop
To this day! I hate pork chops!
