Writing Samples for Oberlin Blogger Application

Since one post (or even several) is a poor survey of anyone's writing skills, I have included for your convenience a sample of the last academic-personal writing I was called to do, in sophomore year of high school. (Purely academic writing is too dry, and purely personal writing is - well, personal.) It's a series of several vignettes about childhood, plus a reflection. The tone is very different from that of a blog but I'm flexible!

The writing is after this makeshift jump so I won't clutter up the blog.
