   "to whom it may concern...."
I know I've been begging for a challenge, a chance to provemyself, but we never want what e get afterwe get what we ask for. The classic (and more wordy version of the "grass is always greener" cliche)

In other words, I asked for a class that would give me a reason to care about school, stretch me from the overgrown sophmore I WAS into a motivated, efficient AP student worthy of the name. That's what I asked for, and exactly what I recieved.

Unfortunately, I did not anticipate the emotional expectations I would have to face in order to grow. They were, as always hiding right in the middle of obvious, and as I failed to confront them found them actively seeking me out.

In order to grow as a writer I would first have to grow as a person, and that means facing some of my personal demons, and finally being honest with myself- even if it meant leting a few skeleton's out of my closet. As much as it hurts to face the things I've bitterly denied for well over 16 years,it is a necessary step to my personal growth and therefore is an obsticle to be overcome. Like any other problem, I have on choice but to charge ahead without regret and without hesitation, as is my way.

The assignment is simple-write an emotionally honest letter to someone to whom you have something important to say.

I this letter I will adress the one thing I consider my most sensitive topic, the proverbial elephant in the room, the singular person my friends know better than to mention-

My dad.

I hope I will have the strength to say what for 16 years, I've kept to myself.
