The Day I Remember Ginny Research Paper
I remember that day very clearly. It was Halloween October 31, 2003. It was a school day, a long school day as I recall. It was a long day because the next day was important for me; I had the SAT test and my very last home volleyball game. It was my senior night. I was in frenzy all day.

Though Ginny is the one who has gone through such an extreme difficulty, I would like to think that I was there and will be there to help her overcome
