Story

[Art: "The Secret Garden", by Zena Barnash, 17, 12th grade, St. Petersburg Catholic High School]

What happened to me?
I thought I was really smart. In the school I went to before this one, I felt like I was one of the smartest students in the class. Something must have happened to me since then because now I appear to be the dumbest person in my school. I came here this year feeling pretty good about myself until classes were under way for several weeks. All of a sudden it felt like my world was falling apart. The harder I tried to pull myself out of this deep hole, the deeper I seemed to plunge, and it has gotten no better.


Xpressions
Xpressions, is a monthly showcase for the art, writing and photography of students through the 12th grade. Xpressions appears the last Monday of each month.
