It was a cool spring afternoon, the sun light was starting to dim through the forest trees. I trudged through the woods down the street from my house. I always went there after school; I liked to sit next to the creek and study.
It was hard for me to do my homework at my house, because of my father’s drinking, and my parents' constant bickering. The two of them were always fighting over something; normally his drinking. This made it nearly impossible for me to stay focused on my daily activities.
