The secret of good writing

5
Buddy & Butch anonymous
I'm sorry I wasn't there to save you, Grandpa.
7
My Father’s Moustache Sanja Cvitan
I suppose no one can ever come back to who they once were.
9
My Brain’s Drawers Anna Ratković
My grandmother’s house has survived many years of change. I will survive too.
11
My Mom Ana Gebert
my mom touched the postcard i got
i touched her womb – once.

My Father’s Poems Translated by Tomi Bašić
My father died in the Croatian Homeland war when I was three. I hope I
managed to stay to his poems with my translation.

17
Caught in the Moment Maja Kuprešanin
There it is – a great blue monster, my first love - the sea. Calm and peaceful
with a golden hue, it is calling me.
18
Missing My Old Place Andriana Sinković
When we came back to our house after the war, I was shocked. There was no
roof above the living room and my room was totally destroyed.
20
Old Town Dubrovnik – A Human Being Tia Illić
This city has a good heart and soul.

25
Finally on My Own Aleksandra Kurilić
ACMT helped me realize that education doesn’t have to be a torture.
26
Return From Suspension Bojan Biletić
Suddenly, I got SUSPENSION! O ne!
27
Change is Possible Atina Asanović
I learned that everyone can change, even the most stubborn person. Even me.
29
Where is my place? Mihaela Ćališ
Students who live in fear of being called upon by the professor are cowards to
me. I am a coward myself.
31
The Right Decision anonymous
The second week in college was easier. I started to speak in English. People
around me were surprised that I even know how to talk.
33
In a Short Time Rafaela Gurdulić
I found myself as a new person here.
34
Nothing is Impossible Nikola Vrlazić
I didn't have the guts to go to office hours. I was embarrassed. I thought that I
was the worst student.
35
The New Me Luka Šilje
I've always laughed at geeks who read a book twenty times just to figure out the
big idea. Now, I am that geek.
36
I’m an Individual, Not a Number Dominik Medak
At my old college, professors didn´t call us by names, they called us by numbers. I
felt like I was in jail.

38
And It's Only Beginning Ivana Muhoberac
In high school I could copy from the internet, but here I'm not allowed to do that.
I do my work on my own, exercise my brain and make it stronger.

42
Will We Ever Change? Srećko Dodig
It took us 20 years to get on the streets and fight for our rights. But it is never too
late.
44
Real Patriotism Dora Orešić
I love Croatia, but I will never stand quiet when I see something is wrong.
45
Somebody Killed the Lights Dora Medved
People around me believe that things like censorship and murders of the press
happen to someone else. Injustice does not happen to someone else; it happens
to all of us if we allow it.

50
Girly Girl Becomes a Tomboy Tea Stojanović
I was the only girl in the Ninjitsu club. I thought I wouldn't have real training like
everybody else. Oh boy, was I wrong.
53
Motivation Dino Novak
I still remember the song lyrics that turned my life upside down.
54
Not a Quitter Andro Vidojević
I started to play water polo when I was only 5 years old. But my path wasn’t
easy.
56
Honey Bunny Lucija Marinov
While we were walking across Auschwitz, an amazing piece of ice flew on to my
sleeve and left a small water mark.

An Unexpected Early Summer Swim Gladys Winkworth
She looked down to see that the floor was getting wet with water spilling out of
her briefcase.

Internationally Offensive Me Rebecca Charry
One of the great joys of international living is that I get to offend everyone,
whether I intend to or not.
