The House

Sally’s lovely family is now at ruins, all she wished for her family, was to be in a better environment. To see the world without hearing gun shots and screams. Now that they are here, Sally does not know whether to love their new country home, or fear it.

When I really think about my life and how it has shaped me as a person, I really do not know where to start. My name is Gabrielle Landaeta, I am only eighteen years old, I am still a student at Bermudian Springs High School located in a little town called York Springs, in the state of Pennsylvania. I remember the first time a teacher put a pencil in my hand and said, “write.” I knew from there that I was going to be a writer. The first story I ever wrote was about pirates, that sailed the seas in search of Gold, I remember I received an A+ on that test. Every time a teacher says, “Okay class! We are writing essays!” Everyone always moaned and groaned but not me! I always thought this is one more essay closer to my career. My parents, grandparents, aunts and uncle’s supported me all the way through this book. I also have to mention my speech and drama teacher, who every class asked me, “how’s your book.” I do say, I have to thank her for that. That is honestly all I have about my life so far as my journey continues.
