Amendment of my choice!

If I was to choose and amendment and have it go into in effect immediately, it would be to make abortion illegal. I would make this a law because this is something I have grown up realizing is wrong, and its against my religion. Abortion is a terrible thing to me, it doesn't matter if the women was raped or not, that is a life. A life that has potential to be great and live freely. I'm not saying they will be the next president and change the world, but they could become a doctor and change a life. There is so much a person can offer the world. It might even be that you can give the child up for adoption because there are certain people who are unable to give birth. Neither the mom or doctor has the right to determine if a person is allowed to live or not. There is a reason for every thing that happens. God has just different ways of showing his reasons. Its just a bump along the road of life. So you take a new direction in life. I would rather see someone give a child up for adoption then see the child be murdered. Yes its murder, I do not give pity to anyone who thinks differently.

I believe in again

I wish I believed in the Tooth Fairy again. Since she was a fairy she was magical, so she probably had a wand and she could fly. Also she gave you money for every time you lose a tooth.  I wish I could still get money just for "growing up". Well not exactly growing up but you loose a tooth because your getting older and growing in new teeth.

Appearances

There are many people I know who are big on the outside but actually are very small on the inside. They can come off as strong but they are gentle and sweet. I know people who are the opposite who have really shy but when you get to know them they have a big heart and can really be a strong person in what they believe in. I think physical appearance deals greatly with a personality, because for me if I don't feel like looking nice I'm not going to be. If I'm in a better mood you will be able to tell. When you are happier your nice and a smile can instantly change your appearance. If you look sad your going to shut away people which makes your personality seem like your distant from other people. If internal beauty was directed with your external appearance I think it would be a great thing for the world. There are so many two- sided people in the world. They can show one personality to someone and act completely different with another. If they just stuck with being true to themselves and acting like the real them they would be fine. Yes there are  some things I could approve on but I truly believe that I'm the same on the inside as i am on the outside.

The Daily Beast - Spending Money

If you were to ask me if I would rather save money or spend it I would say instantly I am a saver. I can't stand to spend money, or at least my own. That sounds bad but its not like I take my parents money all the time. But things like lunch money and game tickets I feel they should pay for. And when I forget to get money from my parents for those type of things and am forced to spend my own money, I hate it. I don't have an allowance so any money I get its  because I earned it, and I just don't like seeing me spend my own money.
I personally agree with the article because so many people are worried about the here and now and being happy now then working for the happy later. So they would rather spend money for themselves or others now then saving up for something very nice later.
My opinion about my generation is very strong that we are going down a big hill and rolling fast. We are so focused and dependent on technology that we only see the now. We are so focused on what we can do for ourselves now then what we will be doing in the future. I personally feel like my generation is going to hit reality hard. I see so many people who have their whole life depending on their Facebook or Twitter but what they don't realize is that the world doesn't care if you have 1473 some friends on Facebook, they care about how you work with those people and how fast you can work. I really just don't think our generation is mature enough for the work force, or college education yet but our time is running out.

Extrovert vs Introvert

I personally believe I am an  extrovert because I am a very social person and I try surrounding myself with the people I love and the ones who love me. I don't think either have it easier or harder. People who have more people around them can look up to more people and rely on others more. Introverts are going to be more independent which nothing is wrong with that. They both have negatives and positives. I do believe if the whole world was extrovert we would get along more easily and you wouldn't have social classes because everyone was outgoing and could depend on another. If the world was introvert we would have more independence between people and others would stay sheltered in their own world. People wouldn't branch out and look to find new ways. I prefer extrovert in my friends because they will be more open to me and would shutter away if we were doing to activities. I think introverts would be better writers because they are writing what they want. You can have inspiration for a book but if your going to write it, make sure its what you want. You can be open to ideas. For teachers though you need to be open to each and everyone of your students. Your neighbors can be either be extrovert or introvert, if your neighbor is extrovert then you can maybe be very outgoing with them like having parties and sharing lawns and asking to borrow things.

Life Law 10



The road I'm on I believe is a good one. I'm not into the drugs, smoking or drinking. I know that grades matter  and I'm trying to push myself to get the best, I know sometimes I don't push myself very hard sometimes but I do try. My path looks like a medium path. It has some bumps sometimes when I feel like being lazy and not completely doing what makes me happy. So at times my path may be even paved. My days just seem to fly by and I'm just hopping along the road.At times like this I'm not only by myself but I'm with my family and friends, the ones who love me and make me smile. At other times when the road is bumpy and raining making the road slippery I'm traveling alone and I see people in the future but i can't move towards them. Its like I'm stuck where I'm at without the smiles and happy people around me. At times like this all I'm going for is just a smile and someone who understands. Then when I'm finally there, I feel like nothing is going to touch my happiness. I have no worries in life and I just got to take in everyday with a smile on my face. I feel like I'm in my own personal happy bubble with everyone who loves me in it. Its the feeling of a home, the feeling i hope to have when I'm old and looking back on "the golden days". But there are always going to things that burst you bubble. Most of the things that burst my bubble are grades, when i feel like I'm even the slightly bit behind I start to stress out, I'm studying longer which keeps me up longer but it doesn't help when I'm completely tired and wanting to just sleep. Then I worry about not being in the top of my class, which is something I'm trying for very hard. Not being the top makes me scared that I'm not going to be in a good college. Not that I know exactly what I want to be when I grow up but I know that furthering my education will for sure put me on a smooth path.

Thought for the day; Life law 9

"Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names. - John Fitzgerald Kennedy"


I have always loved this quote. Everyone deserves a second chance,, no matter what they did. People have the ability to change, but you should never completely forget what they did. If a person truly loved you then they shouldn't have anything to be sorry about. They should have never done it in the first place, no matter what it was. The past is over but it defines your future. If someone does something terrible you can't look at them the same way as if they were as innocent as an angel. Or if you do some thing bad, don't expect people to treat you exactly the same, be glad they even talk to you again.

Thought for the day; Life Law 6

My thought for the day comes from the quote "whether you think you can or think you can't. You're right." which comes from Henry Ford.

This quote is very realist if you think about it. Its straight to the point, if you think you can, your going to try if you think you can't you wont try and never do it. Your going to be right because you choose which one your going to do. If you believe, you achieve. Its the matter of trying or not. You wont be successful if you don't try. Nor if you don't believe in yourself.

Thought for the day

"What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson


Its like the quote action speaks louder then words. What you do has a greater impact then what you say. Whether its a negative action or a positive, your choices can create an impact you never thought was imaginable. You have the ability to change a life with just a simple smile and wave.

Walt Whitman 2


To A STRANGER
by: Walt Whitman
      ASSING stranger! you do not know how longingly I look upon you,
      You must be he I was seeking, or she I was seeking, (it comes to me as of a dream,)
      I have somewhere surely lived a life of joy with you,
      All is recall'd as we flit by each other, fluid, affectionate, chaste, matured,
      You grew up with me, were a boy with me or a girl with me,
      I ate with you and slept with you, your body has become not yours only nor left my body mine only,
      You give me the pleasure of your eyes, face, flesh, as we pass, you take of my beard, breast, hands, in return,
      I am not to speak to you, I am to think of you when I sit alone or wake at night alone,
      I am to wait, I do not doubt I am to meet you again,
      I am to see to it that I do not lose you



      I chose this poem, because its all about the what if. He talks about the memories that could be made if he was friends or neighbors or married with the person. How one little encounter with this person could keep you up all night thinking of them, or even dreaming of them. How this person could have a negative or positive affect on your day, or life. But in the end the stranger will just pass by and the thoughts of what if will eventually fade.

Walt Whitman was a romanticist but had some realism in his poetry. He was romantism for when he wrote free verse style.




If i had to pick a poem i like it would be O Captain My Captain
only because its the one poem that actually was understandable to me. I could make sense of it.





O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought
        is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring,
     But O heart! heart! heart!
          O the bleeding drops of red,
               Where on the deck my Captain lies,
                    Fallen cold and dead.
 
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills,
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths—for you the shores
        a‑crowding,
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning,
     Here, Captain! dear father!
          This arm beneath your head;
               It is some dream that on the deck
                    You've fallen cold and dead.
 
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will,
The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed
        and done,
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;
     Exult, O shores, and ring O bells!
          But I with mournful tread
               Walk the deck my Captain lies,
                    Fallen cold and dead.

Beginning

This year has started off just like any other year. Third week in and I'm already looking forward to the next break. Test haven't truly been anything challenging yet. Sporting events seem to take up all my time outside of school half the time. I look forward to sleep more then ever this year. At school I cant help but to want to sleep. But eventually I will get use to all of it. With computers this year I feel like they are helpful but also make things worse because I'm not one to like to be behind the class and and when I cant figure something out with them, it worries me and I get frustrated very easily. The year has only begun so bring on the challenges and I will just have to prepare myself.
