If you go for a walk in the woods anywhere in VT you’ll have to be wary of barbed wire, as in life, you have to avoid getting too hung up on something unsafe.

There are a few people who always trash the road I live on. They toss out their beer cans, bottles cigarette packs and fast food wrappers. It makes me mad, what’s the point of trashing such a beautiful area?

We live in a beautiful area, but in rural VT, nothing exciting is very near and with little transportation, there’s not much to do.)

There are definitely kids in our school who have parents who drink too much...it's hard for kids to talk about, it's good when students know they have someone they can talk to who will listen and understand, but that doesn't happen often.

Sometimes life in the Valley can seem as empty as this cart.
