Skitzo	This one came up while i was bored stiff waiting for somebody. Hmm...i guess the date that i finished it was 2/1/98. It was supposed to be a song, but so far, i can't think of a tune to go along with it. So, read it and enjoy!

The Duty of a Parent	This one was written for 11CP English. The question that we were given was, "Should a parent prevent a child from making a disastrous mistake?" I had an interesting opinion on the subject. I consider this one of my best written essays.
