How did it begin? It began with a tragedy. Where were they when it all began? One thing is for sure: they were not together. Her story went like this: During the beginning of the end, Marta was surro...
She cannot count the number of beds she slept on. No, promiscuity is out of the reasons. This is simply the reality behind the life of a boarder. She doesn’t have an address that she can truly call h...

What should you do to help your child pursue her dreams of becoming a writer? First of all, let her be bored. Let her have long afternoons with absolutely nothing to do. Limit her TV-watching time an...
