Im Kaylee Van. Im 16 years old and up until now I've never set a foot outside of the small town of Beech Creek, PA. But in about 30 minutes Ill be boarding a plane and Ill finally be moving from the city with a population of 683 people to spend my junior year as an exchange student in Seaside, California in a large beach house that my uncle lends to my dad every summer. Im not an extrovert... at all... but hopefully that changes this year. I actually want to be able to make friends and date guys and be a normal teenager for once. Now that i think of it, maybe thats the reason why my dad offered to send me to California, to break out of my introverted toxic mind, but i guess ill just find out when i get there...

  • An Unexpected Moment

I'm just lying here in stillness and darkness wondering why. Why did this have to happen to my mom? We have nothing we can't even afford a house. Here I am a 14 year old boy that lives in a shelter home. Mom says one day we'll get out. But I've lost all hope. And I know my mom has no hope either. If she did I wouldn't have to hear her cry herself to sleep at night. I hate seeing her in so much pain. I wish, I could get a job. Maybe since I'm younger and a boy they'll hire me. Who am I kidding? My mom's in her 30's she's not old either. Sometimes the idiots that run this place kick my mom out for the night because she's making too much noise after hours. My mom was crying; is that too hard to understand? I hate this place. Well, tomorrow's our first day apart since summer started. They're forcing me to go to high school. I'm okay with school but I don't want to leave my mom alone in this world. Well, I guess there's a better chance of me getting a job if I'm in high school. You know there's one thing I remember my mom telling me when I was young. "Never frown; you never know who's falling in love with your smile." Words to live by. Let's hope they help me tomorrow.
