"You are never given a wish without also being given the power to
make it come true."
--Richard Bach
Many teenagers feel that high school is one of the most
difficult and confusing times of their life. Life rides a roller
coaster as it hits its fantastic highs and then drops back down to
its unwanted lows. This is natural; it happens to everyone.
Unfortunately, many teenagers feel alone in the world. They wonder
why they were punished and everyone else's life seems to be going
so well.
The collection of poems in "You're not Alone" reflects the pain,
confusion, love, hate, heartbreak, anxiety, and loneliness that all
teenagers go through at one point and time. It reminds them that
they are not rowing the boat by themselves but rather, that they
have an entire crew rowing with them. They are all attempting to
reach a like goal: To make it through their teenage years.
Their wish will come true.

scientist and inventor whose groundbreaking inventions we continue
to use today. Since he was a young boy growing up in the Austrian
Empire, Nikola was fascinated by science and numbers. His teachers
knew he had a brilliant mind, but Nikola's irregular routines and
fondness for playing cards meant that he was kicked out of school
before he could finish his exams. However, after working for a
spell at the Budapest Telephone Exchange, where he made several
clever innovations to their electrical systems, he managed to get a
job with Edison Machine Works in New York, U.S.A. In the United
States, Tesla's inquisitive nature and ingenious mind spurred him
on to keep exploring electricity, and he came up with several
groundbreaking inventions during this time, including breakthroughs
in alternating current and wireless remote controls. By the end of

original and unique inventions, and had advanced scientific thought
