A New Law.

      If I was to create a new law that would become active immediately, it would have to make abortion illegal. I would make abortion illegal because I feel that if someone gets pregnant they should be responsible for the consequences of their actions. I feel that it's murder to kill an unborn child no matter how far along a person is in their pregnancy. I feel that if a person doesn't want their unborn child they should go through with their pregnancy then give the baby up for adoption. There are many people in the world would love to have kids but they can't, by making abortion illegal it would make it so more people would be happy. There would be less babies killed and it would put more children in loving homes. I also think that this would stop all the arguments about this topic. I feel this would be a great new law to add, even though there would be some people who wouldn't agree. I also know some people believe in abortion because if someone gets raped, but I still believe that abortion is wrong no matter what happened to start a pregnancy. It's still wrong to take an innocent life.

To Believe Again..

    There are many things that I believe in and many thing that I used to believe. A lot of things that I believed when I was younger slowly started not to believe in anymore. Things like Santa Clause and The Tooth Fairy. If there was one thing I wish I could believe in again it would be believing that people could fly. I think that believing something that crazy kind of makes people think that they can believe in anything, that anything is possible. I think that believing people can fly widens your thinking like maybe there is someone out there that can but  they keep it a secret. I think that believing something can help change your way of thinking forever.

What do you look like?

    Sometimes the way people look may not match the way they act. For example if a person look strong on the outside but can't be who they want to be. I know people that look tough on the outside but are not confident on the inside. I also know people that look small on the outside but they are very strong on the inside. Like someone may be strong and confident on the outside but they are not around their friends they are a coward and don't they don't know what they want. Sometimes physical appearance and and what's on the inside are not related. People put up a front and fake who they are on the outside. If the way I am on the inside and the way I am on the outside completely matched I wouldn't look the same. I would look a smart person because I retain a lot of information. Appearance also sometimes can be related to what's on the inside, it all depends on the person.

Your Spending Addiction

I think I am a saver there are a lot of things in life that I don't need and I don't get. A lot of times I think about what I could be saving instead of spending money like crazy. There are things that people just don't need but they want the newest and the best things out as soon as they hit the market. People don't think about how they could be spending their money in a more positive way. I agree with the ideas in this article because people don't think about saving they just think I'll make more money later to save. But the truth is if you don't save now you won't save later. My opinion of this generation is that they are a bunch of low life losers that want other people to make their money for them. They don't know how to spend money properly.

Tribes I Belong to

There are many different tribes that a person can belong to, it all depends on who you are. I belong to the tribe of singing, singing is a way to express yourself in a creative way. I also belong to the tribe of dance, dancing is a way to show what your feeling without saying anything at all. I also belong to the tribe of believing in God. Another tribe I feel I belong to is the tribe of giving back to people. I belong to the tribe of respecting parents. There are many tribes a person can belong to, a lot of people may have similar tribes. What do you take ownership for in your life, what tribes are you proud of.

Extrovert VS. Introvert

   I think I am an Extrovert because I have friends and I'm not very shy. I am very outgoing and an expressive person. I tend to get bored when I'm not around people. If everyone were Extroverts the world would have lots of people who want to make friends. There would be many people that get bored when they are alone. There would be many loud expressive people who just speak their minds without thinking. If everyone was Introverts everyone would like to be alone they are happy when they are alone and they don't get bored easily. Introverts are energized when they are alone but when they are around people their energy is drained. Everyone would avoid each other. I prefer to have friends that are extroverts because they are like me we would have a lot of fun just expressing ourselves. I also have friends that are introverts  but, sometimes it's harder to be friends with Introverts because they prefer to be alone. I think that Extroverts are better leaders because they know how to deal with people. They like being around other people so they are more likely to work better with people. I think Introvert are better writers because they have more time to themselves. OS they have more time to think about the depth of what they are writing. I think both would be good neighbors because there are things in both of their personalities that could make up a good neighbor. I think Extroverts are better teachers because they will be more open to learn about the people they are teaching. They will interact better with the people that they are trying to teach. I don't think that being Introvert or Extrovert matters in today's society because all types of people are needed to run this world.

Forgiveness

   Forgiveness can sometimes be a funny thing. People say hurtful things to you just because they think they can. They think that the things they say don't have a result. Forgiveness is when you choose to to put what someone did or said to you in the past. Forgiveness can also be forgiving someone that doesn't deserve to be forgiven. You don't want to carry around unforgiveness for all your life. Unforgiveness can be an ugly thing. It can ruin relationships and change your  perspective. Just because someone hurt you doesn't mean you have to stay hurt. You have the choice to keep all the negative things that were said to you bottled up or you can set them free.

Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.
- Mark Twain

Life Law 6

You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns has roses.
- Ziggy

This means to me that in life there is really two choices you can see the good and be mad that sometimes life is bad. Or you can be happy that the hard times in life also have there good things. It is about how you see things in life. Some people just assume that their lives should be all good all the time with no problems but if something goes wrong it's the end of the world.  Others see it as live is rough and there are good times and bad times. Nothing is perfect, not everything you see is the same as how the person next to you is seeing it. It's all about how people feel about different things.

Life Law 5

What you do speaks so loud that i cannot hear what you say.

 - Ralph Waldo Emerson



   This to me means that the way you act can affect the way people think of you. Even though you may say nice things but if you do bad things people will only see the bad. You have to realize that one mistake can change the way you are viewed. Also if you say you really want to do something but if you never try no one will ever believe that's what you want if you don't try. Try for what you want if you don't you may never get the chance again to follow your dream.

Walt Whitman Poem

  A Promise to California
A PROMISE to California,
Also to the great Pastoral Plains, and for Oregon:
Sojourning east a while longer, soon I travel toward you, to remain,
to teach robust American love;
For I know very well that I and robust love belong among you, inland,
and along the Western Sea;
For These States tend inland, and toward the Western Sea--and I will
also.


I like it because it is short, sweet, and to the point.

These and all were to the same as they are to you, I loved those well cities, loved well the stately and rapid river, The men and women I saw were all near to me, Others the same- others who look back on me because look'd forward to them, (the time will come, though I stop to-day and to-night.)

Would you live a life of danger?

Why do you think some people are attracted to dangerous sports or other dangerous activities? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.


    I think some people are attracted to dangerous activities/sports because they either just need a thrill or they have been hurt earlier in life. Some people need danger to feel normal, to feel like they can do something. People sometimes believe that they need to have danger in their lives to they feel whole. They feel if there not doing something dangerous they are doing something wrong. Some people are around people that make them feel like they need danger in their lives. There are many different types of dangerous activities things like jumping out of airplanes, jumping off bridges, or maybe even bungee jumping. That's one type of dangerous activities. There is also dangerous behavior that leads to dangerous activities. For example someone could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol and end up doing something dangerous that could cost them their lives. Many people do dangerous things to get attention or to express themselves. Maybe some people grow up doing dangerous activities so that's all they know.

    Some people choose to be involved in dangerous sports because they just love to do it or it gives them a sense of accomplishment.  It gives them tht sense because alot of people won't get involved in dangerous sports because they fear for their lives. Some sports like Bull Riding, Street Luging, and Motorcycle Racing are examples of dangerous sports. People do these sports either because they grew up on the sport or they just fell in love with the sport.

     Many people choose to do dangerous things for different reasons. Would you live a life of danger?

Sophomore Year

   This school year I expected my classes to drag and be really boring. This year it's nothing like that I love all my classes and the day goes by super fast. All my classes are going well. All my teachers seem pretty nice and willing to help when something isn't understood. The classes seem like if you try hard and do the best you can you will get good grades. But some classes are harder to understand than others. But everyone is going to have classes they understand better than others. Some people have to work harder than others, some people get it and some don't right away. I love how my day is set up most of my harder thinking classes are in the beginning of the day, besides one of my classes. So it's like I have all my core classes over with by lunch. I also like having two Choir classes and one Art it spices up my school day. I also have classes with good friends that stay on task so it encourages me to keep working. Sophomore year is going to be a great year.
