Four Horsemen #3
$2/20 pages/Half size
by Sabrina
In this issue of Four Horsemen, Sabrina hand writes each diary style page. She touches on different things such as anger, luck and giving advice. Sabrina writes about how she enjoys going to college tremendously and the joy that going out on her own gives her. She includes a list of things that inspire her and keep her going. I found the page that she wrote about music to be very touching and I could relate a great deal to that piece.
An excerpt, "I think that is really the greatest part of having a life filled with music: the ability to evoke memories and feelings and good times and love through song. A seemingly meaningless moment in my life is now something I look back on fondly because of the power of those lyrics."
