Religion

Sometimes, I wonder why you really can't talk about religion in schools. (Im sorry in advance if this is offensive Mrs. Matthews) I don't understand why we can't talk about different religions and have a conversation without people getting bent out of shape. If people would keep an open mind about religion, it would be a really cool thing to study or maybe write a comparison paper about. History classes would be far better if we could discuss different aspects of different cultures religions. Even though I understand why we can't talk about religion in schools, I still disagree with the reasons.

Life

Lately, my life has been taking some unexpected turns. Some were good while others were not so good. I feel like life is speeding by so fast that sometimes its hard to keep up with everything. Its hard to think that senior year is already half way over, and that next year I'll have to make it on my own in college. I just think about that and get overwhelmed a little. Thats the kinda thing that really takes you by surprise. Right now though, Im just going to take it one day at a time.

Christmas

Christmas time is a time that I have always cherished. Its a time that brings families closer together. If you dont get to see your father or brother or mother all of the time, you get a whole week to spend with them and bond. It also gives you a week or two to get away from everything. School problems, drama, and grades all disappear on christmas break. Its the best holiday of all for sure.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of year. Its an exciting break where people get together and give thanks for all the things that happen over the year. It helps people remember to appreciate what they have instead of ignoring it. People can come together for no other reason than to love one another which is a beautiful thing. Thanksgiving is a cherished tradition that will always bring families together at least for a little while.

rain

Rain makes me feel really good. I like just sitting inside with my curtains open, watching the rain. Sometimes, I'll sit in my room and read all day without stopping for anything but food. I've read a lot of books on those days and learned so many things sitting there on a rainy day. Those are the lazy kinda days that I love. 

Giving

Somebody told me once that nothing bad can ever come from giving. No one has ever gone poor from giving. When you give without looking for something in return, it is the best feeling in the world. I always get chills when I give just a little money to people at Christmas time. Giving can open up a world of possibilities that only lead to good things. When you give without thinking about it or bragging about it, you have reached a point in life that all people should reach. You are one of a select few who have it all.

History

People who truly want more in life strive to be remembered. History remembers those who go above and beyond. History remembers the actions of the brave or the notorious. Actions are remembered forever while words are always forgotten. Actions are what history demands from us.
