High School Interesting how two words can carry with them the entire spectrum of human emotion. For many, they bring positive feelings centered around personal growth, infinite possibilities, lifelong friendships, a chance for love. Many still, these words bring about sensations of negativity. Fear of failure, self-doubt, rejection, the struggle for personal identity. Of course, reality is never so easy as to have one side or the other. Life is too complex, too grand, too chaotic to be so naively simple. Most have a wonderfully terrible mix of both sides of the coin. For a sophomore like Ryan, however, life has something special in mind. His days of flying under the radar, of walking the fine line between both sides of life's coin, are numbered.
