Chapter 1
it was a brisk morning and I was traveling to school. I had to walk 6 blocks because my mom didn't have time to take me. I was okay with that. except for the cold cold days. Then it was almost unbearable. however, I dealt with it. oh, I should probably tell you my name. I am stephanie blint. A 15 year old girl who was a no body in her school. I love to read, write, and listen to music.
so anyway back to how I found my dream. so I was in first period class and my teacher called me up to the front of the classroom and said, "stephanie, do you want to enter the young writers of america competition?" I was so weary about saying yes. I never let anyone read my stories except Mrs. Johnson (my first period teacher) so I studdered a little and the words just flew out of my mouth. I said, "YES, I will do it!"
I couldn't believe it. I just agreed to let a bunch of judges criticize my work I do for fun and possibly have to read my story in front of hundreds of people. my teacher was thrilled! she could not wait to see what story I was going to submit. I went through the whole day scared and petrified. I just wanted to take back ever thing I said today.
The school day was over made my long walk back home sat down on the couch and just thought about what I got myself into. it's going to be a tough next few months.
