A Tale Of Two Identities

It all started on a dark and stormy night when I was sailing with my uncle, the famous Captain Will Hawk. The seas were high and the wind was strong, but with my uncle and I sailing the ship, nothing would be able to sink it. "Captain there be another ship approaching. Looks to be….. It is, tis the British. Uncle, what do you want to do?" I said standing my ground with a telescope in hand. "Lower the sails we can't fight in this weather." He shouted to the crew. "Emerald they are after me, now ye go hide. I promised your father that I wouldn't let you get captured by the British or by Captain Black. Now go find Mr. Smith and hide." My Uncle said. "Aye aye, sir" I said and gave him a hug before I ran off to find Mr. Smith.

As I was looking for Mr. Smith, I had to hide so that I wasn't seen, which I was very good at. I climbed up the ropes on to the mast and jumped down and grabbed onto a rope that was being thrust around by the wind. I landed on the deck and ran down to the bottom of the ship. As I was running I ran right into Mr. Smith. "Mr. Smith we have to hide my uncle is surrendering to the British, all they want is him" I said catching my breath.

"Alright come on me lady I know of a secret hiding spot that was created especially for this kind of situation." Mr. Smith said as I followed him. When we stopped all there was, was the wall of the ship. "Are ye sure this is the right spot?" "Aye me lady just watch." He said as he pulled the lantern and the wall of the ship opened up into a small room. After we walked in I felt the ship come to a sudden stop and that's when Mr. Smith shut the door and latched it shut."Mr. Smith why is my uncle surrendering? I thought a pirate is never supposed to unless it is a grave situation." I asked confused.

"Well, ye see me, lady, when your uncle was younger there was a woman by the name of Angela. She was the best thing that ever had happened to your uncle, he loved her very much. Yet one day exactly like this, the same thing happened and the British came after your uncle. He and Angela came and hid in this very here room. Since he wasn't going to surrender easily the British came on board and searched the ship for ye uncle. The British searched and searched, but alas they couldn't find your uncle until one soldier accidentally hit the lantern and the door opened. Your uncle stood in front of Angela ready to fight to keep her safe, but alas the solider hit your uncle on the head and knocked him out. That's how he got that scar right across his left eye. The solider took Angela and the British kept her as a prisoner instead of your uncle...

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
