There is something in my attic

When I was little I was afraid of dogs. I was terrified of dogs because I was so little that they would always jump on me and knock me over. Whenever I would see a dog coming I would run and hide and jump up on chair or something where it couldn't get me. Even today I still can't stand dogs. They terrify me to no end.

Never be afraid to sit awhile and think

It is always a good thing to think. Sometimes you just have to stop what you are doing and just think about things. It doesn't have to be about one thing in particular, but maybe a majority of things. Sometimes I just have stop and think for awhile. I usually think while I am running. I just go out a certain way and just keep going until I get tired, then I turn around and head home. Once I ended up running about 8 miles before I was finished thinking about everything. If I don't just stop and think about everything every once in a while I go crazy; thinking works as a stress reliever for me.

Act Quickly, Think slowly

I think this proverb is true. You should act quickly and think slowly. If you think quickly you could will miss some of the very important things. By thinking slowly you can choose the best answer/situation possible. Sometimes if you act before you think through everything than you could make a huge mistake that you can't get out of. For example if you decided you go hang out with you friends one night and you decide to be crazy while you are driving- by driving on the wrong side of the road, or by driving 60 mph down a really curvy road- you could get severely hurt or possibly die. You might think it is fun a the time, but if something happens, like another car driving along the road the opposite way, you could die.
If you act slowly than you could miss some of the amazing things in life. A lot of time life will only provide an opportunity once so when it arrives you have to think about about it, but then act on it. Don't sit around to long and miss it.

Fighting with dignity or surrendering in shame?

I think it is eaiser to fight with dignity. I think this because if you are fighting with dignity than you have a cause to fight, you aren't fighting just to beat someone up. You want to show people that you are just as good as they are even if you loose. They want People to still respect them; they would rather loose with dignity than just surrender/give up. I think it is harder to surrender in shame because nobody wants to feel bad about themselves they still want everyone to look at them as equal and not lower than they are.

Money, Money


Money it what people use when they go to get/buy something else. It is just another form of barter. I think that people could go without money, if nobody had money than nobody would be poor or rich; we would all be equal. But, because we use money there are people who have very little and some that have a lot, thus making it very important. No matter how much money a person has they still want more, so there is never enough money to go around. Due to the lack of money some people can not have the same luxuries that others have. In a figurative way I think that money does make the world go round, because with out it you can't have the basic necessities of life. Literally, though, money doesn't make the world go round, gravity does.

A family that laughs together stays together


Laughter unifies us because it brings people together. It does this by creating conversations that we will remember forever and that we would want to tell others about. Laughter is important because without it life would be very boring, lifeless, depressing, and quiet. Different things make me laugh. A lot of times the very littlest things are things that make me laugh the most. I think laughter is contagious becaue once one person starts laughing everyone begins to laugh. Then others will wonder why you are laughing so they will ask about it and then they will start laughing and so on and so on. Laughter is the music of the world.

Music


I love music. I love to sing. My favorite type of music to sing is gospel. I like gospel music because I like the words and the messages they say. A lot of times the lyrics in gospel music aren't just about God, they are about life situations that people have been through and go through everyday. Whenever I am stressed out or am mad about something I can just play some music and calm down. Everything from the day just fades away when I am listening to music. I could listen to music everyday.

Apple Pie

I love apple pie. Apple pie is the best type of pie in the world. I just love the way the crust crunches in my mouth when I'm eating a piece and the warm sweet apple slices. It just my mouth water every time I think about it. Mmmmmmm!!! What makes it even better is adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the top of the nice, warm, slice of pie. Mmmmm!!!

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones

When someone always finds fault in someone else it means that they are feeling insecure, that they have to bring everyone else down in order to feel good about themselves. A lot of time the bullies you know are the ones who are insecure in some way. Weather it is because of grades or someone is better than them on a team most bullies have to pick on others in order to feel that level satisfaction of being better than someone else. I have been picked on and been made to feel like I was scum and that the other person was better than I was. I have, also probably, made others feel like they were scum.
