My Name is Samantha... Sam for Short

My name is Samantha Holt, Sam for short and I’m a unicorn.  I’m 16 years old and I live in a town called Ponyville. I go to a school called Celestia's School for Talented Unicorns.

I have a really hard time in, well, just about everything!  Academically, socially, emotionally, you name it! I’m not dumb, I’m actually one of the best unicorns in my class, it’s just that I’m made fun of because of my family.

My little sister, Dina, is only in second grade.  She’s also a unicorn.  She’s always running into things, though.  I think she could be a great wizard if she just believed in herself.  My mom is Dawn Holt.  She’s a winged mail carrier.  She’s on thin ice with her boss because she has a terrible eye condition that prevents her from seeing well.  Therefore, she can’t deliver mail as well as the other mail carriers.  I have a stepdad named August Breen.  He’s pretty cool.  My mom met him at work.  They hung out a lot and eventually a relationship developed and they got married.  I like August.  He may not be Dad, but he’s close enough.  Like my mom, he has wings so he can fly.

I never met my dad and I never will.  He died in a battle when I was too young to remember.  I still have Dina and Mom, though, so I’m happy.

My name is Sam Holt, and this is the story of my life.
