their own little world the one thot columbus didn What a day. I flunked another one of Mrs. Steele's math tests, my dad left for work without giv- ing me a ride to school and my moth- er expects me to miss the basketball game Thursday night to work on my homework again. I need a break! Most teenagers probably foiuid themselves in this type of situation many times during the course of the year. It can be helpful to have a place where one can go to get away from it all. Favorite get aways included the library, a treehouse, one's room, and the park. Sometimes when I have just had it - when it's been one of those days - and I can't get up and leave the class I'm in, I put my pencil down and pull my shirt over my eyes, Nancy Donham said when asked where her place to get away from it all was. If I can, my room is where I prefer to go. Someplace where no one else is. Be it my room or even a cor- ner in a quiet hall during class. I just like to be alone, said Missy Pharr. Students who didn't have a place to escape to often found re- lease in other activities. By putting their thoughts into writing in dia- ries, poems, journals, and letters to t discover friends, some eighth graders found escape from the daily grind. By plugging in earphones, stu- dents shut out the noises that they didn't Want to hear. Still others es- caped into a good book. They found their places. They had their spots, and they must have worked, because they made it through all the one-of-those-days days. The eighth graders s1u'vived, but they could.n't have done it With- out a retreat. They had to take time out from the hustle and bustle of our world for time in their own little world. Ruth Attanasia r c Billy Aughenbough K Shannon Banks Ken Beckham ,Y-.
