Spring Break 2011

Over Spring Break I did a lot. I went to parties on a couple of nights. Kelly and I went to the mall in Gurnee Mills Illinois. That was really fun. I wish that I could have done a couple things over again and that spring break would never have ended because I have had the best time with some people. The best time I've had in a very long time. I've shared a lot of good times and laughs. And I wouldn't take any of that back. 

Civil War.

In the Civil War they had younger boys, teenage boys, play the drums in the war. It was the battle song practically. They were told to play no matter what. They played until the battle was over or they died. How would you feel if everyone around you was dying? & you were being shot at. For me it would be a very scary thing. In the book I picked they were talking about famous or well known children that were the drummers. Poor children chose to become drummer boys because they got free meals. But is free food enough to risk our life? When I am older I plan on going to the West Point Academy then after my 4 years is up go enlistment. That is my Dream. But these boys were about 10, 11, 12 and older. I think that it would be very scary for me.

Actions.

People are motivated to do things. Some of the things are good and some are bad. Actions can help others and they can also hurt others. What could we do to help others?

Fight For It.

There are certain times to fight. With out being violent. You can have a  debate or an argument. For example, In Madison WI Scott Walker was trying to pass a bill that would take away the unions away from all labor workers. People did not like that at all. They went and protested. Yes, there were there violent moments when they vandalized. Violence is never a good thing. Me being a fighter I know how it is to be in fights. Not always fun.

School Rules.

I would just change the dress code and that we can use cell phones during school. And yes they would still be ready for high school. But we would only be able to text during school.

Meanings of Songs.

Some people have different meanings for songs. For some of us a song can mean once special thing to us or to other is could be just a plain song and has really no meaning to them. Some people listen to that one song when they are sad or depressed. Couples have a song, well most do. That song that is dedicated to them. There relationship. Every song has a meaning to someone in the world.

Bullying(Journal)

     We can stop bullying by just being nice to each other. Some people joke around with friends, but sometimes people go too far and they don't tell there friends how we really feel. I mean it's not a perfect world where everyone loves everyone and there is no crime. That’s the "perfect world" and it's reality that people are going to hate on other people. It's just how it works. I am not for bullying. I don't do it, but me and my friends do joke around, we laugh at each other and call each other names but we all know that we are just joking. And plus we can tell when things are going too far. But like I said as much as we want it to stop it's not going to. This is the real world and it gets worse as we get older. I promise.

What makes your life Significant?

     What makes life significant for me is my career. I want to go to the United States Military Academy of West Point. I would like to get my PHD in the Army and become and DR General(rank of general, with my PHD) and eventually go overseas to help wounded US Soldiers. It is my dream to help people. The sick and wounded. I am big in the military stuff, so naturally my idea is to become a DR in the United States Army.
