I wrote this during my senior year of high school in the spring of 2005. I used it in a paper that I had to read in front of the class. When I was done reading my paper, my teacher asked me to re-read this passage that I had written. She loved it so much that she actually used it to tie together the theme of our yearbook that year, it was first published in my 2005- John Glenn High School yearbook. : )
