Sareyah Sloan | District 4 | CBD2 | FIN

The ocean was her happy place. She was the luckiest girl in four. That is what she always claimed. The daughter to a fishermen, she had always found herself in the water. She wasnt a competetive person, and even when her mother asked her why she never wanted to be a career like her other siblings, she told them that she wanted to have a chance at a normal life.

The water always calmed her, and she always turned to it when she felt like she didnt know the answer.

When the tide receded, she knew that something big was coming. Maybe it was the fact that she was starting to learn the ins and outs of the business. Maybe it was the children that would question why someone so pretty would want to play in fish guts all day. Maybe it was the questions from her siblings that always involved not having pride in her district.

When the tide came back in, she knew her answers. She loved her life where it was, she wanted to be there for her family, and she knew she had all the pride she needed.

Fish guts and all.
