Dear Anne Frank ― Dear Anne Frank, Forty-two years later, on the very same day of which you stopped writing in your diary, was the day that I was born. The last entry of yours, you had discussed being a “bundle of contradictions” and that you were split between... (more)

Dear Anne Frank ― Dear Anne Frank, At quitting time, I had to rush home from work because, like usual, I had not packed yet and we were leaving before 6pm for DC. I threw in as many different outfits as I could fit in the duffel bag, even though we only needed... (more)

Dear Anne Frank ― Dear Anne Frank, At around 11pm, we pulled in to the Hilton Garden Inn parking lot. After checking in and finding out where our room was on the 4th floor, we went downstairs and out through a lobby where a garden is presented. We went back through... (more)

Dear Anne Frank ― Dear Anne Frank, It was 7am on Saturday, when the sun started shining through our window in the hotel room. I embraced the sheer fact that I was waking up in Washington, DC once again. DC, America’s capital, comes in second for being a favorite... (more)

Dear Anne Frank ― Dear Anne Frank, We had to be out of our hotel room at 10am to meet the hotel shuttle at the front doors to be carried to the metro. While on the metro, I thought of Arwen as the voice over the intercom says “step back, doors closing.” I... (more)

Dear Anne Frank ― Dear Anne Frank, I love riding the metro. I have no idea where it comes from, but I just enjoy it. Rode my first train in Chicago in year 2007 and it’s been love ever since, I think. It’s a big part of “the city life” because it’s a main... (more)

Dear Anne Frank ― Dear Anne Frank , People watching on the metro is amazing. Everyone should try it at least once. There was this younger girl on our first ride that looked like she had walked out of “In the Heights” musical. Out of the corner of my I could see... (more)

Dear Anne Frank ― Dear Anne Frank, Before we left on this DC trip, I started listening to “Inscription of Hope” being sung by various choirs on YouTube. “Inscription of Hope” has quite the meaning for me since all of the choirs I was around, helped out with... (more)

Dear Anne Frank ― Dear Anne Frank, We just got done walking through the Holocaust Museum – it looked so familiar. And, for the life of me, I cannot remember if we had gone to it or not while touring DC in 8th grade. The best part of the Holocaust Museum was the... (more)

Dear Anne Frank ― Dear Anne Frank, As I’ve said before, after reading your diary years ago, I felt close to you. I could say that you are the reason I began my love for non-fiction books (and writing in diaries). In my opinion, as much as reality hurts sometimes,... (more)
