Lisa: Uh, well, I’m a freelance writer, and that means that I work at home. And a lot of people think my job is easier because I don’t have to go the office every day. And I don’t have to deal with office politics. But, you know, the truth is, my job is very hard. I have to be very organized and very disciplined. and pretty self-motivated. And when I have a problem, there is no one around to help me- I have to solve it myself. And sometimes I worry about money. So when I get stressed, I take a hot bath to relax, and then I curl up in front of the TV with a cup of hot tea. And that usually does the trick at the end of a long and very hard day.

Sean: Traffic stresses me out. I do a lot driving to school and to my part-time job. Drivers can be so rude, especially during rush hour. I try to ignore them by listening to my favorite music in the car. Then, when I get home, I try to something fun to relax. I’ll watch a funny movie or go to a friend’s house- something like that. Anything to take my mind off school and work.

Victor: I work in the hospital emergency room. You can imagine how stressful that is! Everyone is in a hurry and under tremendous pressure. The doctors are demanding, and there’s always too much to do. I cope with all this stress by going to the gym at least four times a week. My friend got me started weight lifting, and now I’m addicted. When I feel especially frustrated, it feels good to go to the gym and throw those weights around. The other thing I do it is get out of the city. Every month or so, I go for a drive in the country. The fresh air and the quite do wonders for me.

Lucia: I have this recurring dream. I’m back in high school, and in my dream, the school I looks mostly the same as it did, but much bigger. The weird thing is ……that although I’m now twenty years old, I had to go back to high school and study with all these fifteen-year-olds. It’s very embarrassing. No one seems to notice that I’m much older and shouldn’t be there in the first place. But still, it’s very uncomfortable. I keep thinking. “ What am I doing here?”

Well, I think it must be a couple of weeks into school, and I’ve lost my class schedule. I start walking through the halls trying to find the main office. I can’t find it. No matter how far, how many hallways, I just can’t find it. I know I’m late for class, and this really worries me. Finally , I wind up in my math class, but it’s almost over- so I’ve missed most of it, and I don’t know what the homework is, and I think I’ve missed an important test, or something.

Basically, that’s the dream. I think I have that dream when I am worried or overwhelmed about something that is happening in my life at the time.

Rick: my name is Rick, and I sometimes have this dream, this bad dream. Really it’s a nightmare. I’m in danger, but I’m not sure from what, and I can’t move or scream or anything. I can feel something coming closer and closer to me, and, you know, it’s really strange because usually in the dream I am exactly where I am in real life- like in my own bed in my bedroom- and everything is very realistic. The only that is dreamlike is that I can’t move. Sometimes I can’t even open my eyes, or I can open one eye, usually I have to alert someone, or possibility save someone,


although the person often changes. Anyway , I can’t do anything because I can’t move. It’s really terrifying.

You know, I think the dream means that I’m feeling there’s something in my life that I can’t control, although I should be able to. Once I had the dream when one of my children was very sick, and I just felt completely helpless. I hate feeling that way.

Yoshiko: In some ways, I’m a typical Japanese teenager. I go to a public high school and wear a uniform, just like everyone else. I go to school five and a half days a week- I get Sundays off. I have interests similar to most of my friends: I like to play video games and am a big fan of American movies. Brad Pitt is one of my favorite actors.

There’s one big way I’m different, though. I spent almost six years living outside Japan. My father’s company transferred him overseas, and of course we went with him. Living in a foreign culture was really tough at first, but I guess I’m lucky in a way. I learned to speak English, and I made a lot of new friends. So you can see that I’m really quite a bit different from my classmates!

Renato: My life is pretty typical, I think. I head off school at seven in the morning, and school finishes at midday. After school, I usually study or play soccer. On weekends, I like to get together with my friends. We usually hang out in one of the shopping centers. Everyone just shows up there on Saturdays and Sundays. It’s a lot of fun……most of the time.

I think one way I am different is that I like to do my own thing sometimes. I don’t always want to hang out with the group. There’s a lot of peer pressure to spend time with my friends, but I don’t listen to what they say. I guess you could say that I think for myself. Sometimes it makes my friends angry, but that’s just the way I am.

Suzanne: I guess I worry about the same things other kids my age to do ……you know, grades, getting along with my parents…… I am doing OK in school, but I have to study really hard. I want to make sure that my grades are good enough so I can get into a decent university. I am pretty typical: I go to classes, attend club meetings after school, and do homework at night. Weekends are great because I get to sleep late. Oh yeah, I am also a member of the orchestra at school. I pay the violin.

My school is different from a typical school in the United States. We study all the core subjects- like most other students- in the morning: science, math, English, history-the usual stuff. In the afternoon, though, we study things like music, dance, and art. You see, I go to a special school for the arts. A lot of us have dreams of becoming dancers or singers someday. That’s why we spend so much time learning about the arts.
