What would you add to the constitution?

I would add to the constitution that abortion would be illegal all throughout the United States. I think it's wrong to have an abortion no matter the circumstances of how the  woman got pregnant. The baby inside the womb is alive and is a living person. In law courts when a person kills a pregnant woman the person is charged with double murder, so why isn't abortion consider committing murder. Having an abortion is a cruel way to get rid of your child. Instead of having an abortion, why don't you have the baby and give it up for adoption if you really don't want the child.

What do you wish you could believe in again?

I wish I could still believe in stuff animals were still alive. When I was little I could play for hours with my stuffed animals believing they were real and that I could talk to them. I named each one, gave different personalities to each. I would carry around my favorites all over the house and talk to them.

Outward Appearance Inward Beauty

I think that outward appearance does affect what people's personality will be. Did you ever see a person and just knew that they were going to be loud and obnoxious only by there appearance. You can sometimes guess the personality of people by looks but not always. Yes I do know people that are big on the outside and little on the inside. Since their like that it makes them not fun to hang around. I also know people that have big and fun personalities that have little outward appearance.

Saver or a Spender

I myself am a saver. I don't have any problem holding onto money for long periods of time to buy something expensive that I want. I think that my generation is mostly spenders. They don't think about the future if they see something they like they buy it. I think that my generation does need to learn to hold on to some money instead of spending it all, because some day there will be an emergency and they won't be able to pay for it.

Are You an Extrovert or an Introvert?

I am a introvert because I tend to be quiet and have a main group of friends with a few other friends outside that group. Though I do go for things in life that I enjoy like extroverts do. I don't think either extrovert or introvert have it easier because extrovert are always expected to be outgoing and in everything. Sometimes the extroverts might want a break from all their activities. Introverts on the other hand don't get heard all the time because their so quiet and don't get voted in things because not very many people know them. If everyone was an extrovert I think we would be in chaos because they would all be outgoing and trying to lead, and if everyone can't lead you have to have followers. If everyone was an introvert I think that the world be more in order and neat because they would think things through and would set  up a government that most everyone would like and abide by the rules. I don't have a preference which are my friends because you need both extrovert and introvert friends. Extrovert would make better leaders because they take action and get done what needs to be done. I think introverts are usually better writers because they have the patience to write a book. As for neighbors I think you need both to have a well-balanced community. I think both extroverts and introverts would make good teachers because they have different teaching methods just as every kid learns in a different way. I think extroversion and introversion does matter because everyone can't be a chief and everyone can't be a follower you need both. So I think its a pretty big deal that we have right balance of both in life.

Thought For the Day life law 8

Forgiveness is a decision we make within ourselves that make you at peace with not only yourself but also with the person you had a quarrel with.

Thought For the Day life law 6

"Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right." Henry Ford You can only do things in life if you think you can do them. Your mind is the greatest things in the world but it can also hold you back. Take running for example when your running you start off fine but as you keep going it keeps getting harder and harder to keep going. Your mind tells you to stop and walk and its so easy and tempted to stop and walk. But if you can shut down that voice and and think about the fact your going to finish you will reach the end feeling proud. You need to do the same thing in life believe that you can do something and preserver until you reach that goal.

Thought For the Day life law 5

Action is what make things happen. You saying your going to do something isn't going to get it done. You need to say your going to do it then go do it. "What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say." Ralph Waldo Emerson. Words are empty parts of speech unless you put your words into action. "Do or do not; there is no try." Star Wars (Yoda)

Facing West From California's Shores

      ACING west from California's shores,
      Inquiring, tireless, seeking what is yet unfound,
      I, a child, very old, over waves, towards the house of maternity, the land of migrations, look afar,
      Look off the shores of my Western sea, the circle almost circled;
      For starting westward from Hindustan, from the vales of Kashmere,
      From Asia, from the north, from the God, the sage, and the hero,
      From the south, from the flowery peninsulas and the spice islands,
      Long having wander'd since, round the earth having wander'd,
      Now I face home again, very pleas'd and joyous,
      (But where is what I started for so long ago? And why is it yet unfound?) 
       
       This poem is about an immigrant who has never been happy with any place she has settled in. She moves from country to country, shore to shore. She's been to some many places she's gone in a circle from all her traveling. In the end she's in California but still looks out to the sea wishing to find the place left unfound.

Walt Whitman

                     For You O Democracy
Come, I will make the continent indissoluble,
I will make the most splendid race the sun ever shone upon,
I will make divine magnetic lands,

 Who is/was Walt Whitman?
-Walt Whitman was a famous poet.

What type of literature did he write?
- Walt Whitman wrote poetry.

Is he a realist or a romanticists? Why?
- Walt Whitman is a romanticist because he always is describing people as good nature and most people aren't nice and good nature. He also talked a lot about nature, a realist would have kept it to the point and not spent so much time with describing nature.

Some people prefer to live in a small town. Others prefer to live in a big city. Which place would you prefer to live in?

I would prefer to live in a small town because I don't like the closeness of the city. I don't mind the size of the city but I don't like how close together everything is. For example there is no parking space unless you park at the library. There are also too many one way streets, which can get confusing when you can't get to the place you want because it only goes one way. Also the people walking on the sidewalks don't know when to cross the street and they don't care if they take a hundred years to get across the road.

I like small towns because everything spaced out but still close enough to get to. When people cross the road they run across because they don't want to get hit or be in the way. You can have a backyard and own large pets unlike the city where you got to own pets that can live in an apartment. When you go out to eat or visiting a friend house you can park your car. Also there are no one way streets to get yourself confused with.

Sophomore Year

My sophomore has been a big change from my freshman year. When I was a freshman I didn't have much homework expect for math and you always have homework in math. The rest of my classes are giving me a lot more homework than last year but I've still managed to get it all done on time. I'm really busy this since I'm in both marching band and soccer, I don't have a lot of time to do much. For the most part though my sophomore has been going good.
