On the Edge

"Evi, are you ready?" I take a deep breath, nodding at my mom. Now or never. I hefty my bag onto my shoulder and step into the tunnel. The tunnel that will take me to the plane. The plane that will take me to Germany. Away from my friends. My family. The only little life I've ever known.

Evian Ciardi. Me. A 10 year old girl known for my blunt personality and reality checks, also known for my strength and kindness.

Join my journey as I try to stay strong and hold my own.

You never know how strong you are... until being strong is the only choice you have.
