I will try to find every mistake, but as I'm just sixteen and from Germany I may overlook a few.. sry^^

touching stories..i agree with Lazarus..you do sound like such a nice person...keep writing and reading the entries of other seasoned competitors like Valerie(gooduklady) and Lazarus as well as kathy herself...you'll gain a lot of tips on how to furthur refine your style.Just reread to do away with minor grammatical errors.=)..goodluck!

sry for keeping it short^^
it could be that the contest is not open to these country, but don't know it exactly..

You sound like a nice person. Keep writing. Loved it...but too short...but that;s the rule...100 words.
Someone else from Germany just told me that the contest is not opento Germany, Austria( I think) and Switzerland...Is that true?
