Write an essay about the one thing you love,
Was the toughest assignment I ever got.

She woke up in a puddle of warm liquid. Trisha realized she’d lost control of her bladder. But it was too early. How could her water break twenty-four weeks before she was due? The nurses and doctor at the emergency room rushed her into a hospital bed and didn’t say much.

On every Pinner’s profile there’s a count for the number of Pins they’ve both saved and liked. Similarly, each board shows the number of Pins saved to it.

The right to question what is not right for us
I was sorting the notes taken throughout the reading. A pattern is obvious: the right to be who we are.
