Packin' My Bag and Leavin'

           So, the deal is, I am being taken away from all of my family, friends, and home, going to some place unknown where there is no technology or power. What would I take with me if all I could take is a medium sized suitcase (24x12x10 inches)? Well here is what I would take:

• I would take the Carhart Jacket that I stole from my dad because I needed a farm coat. He will never get it back due to the fact that it makes me happy.
• I would take the bracelet that was giving to me after my grandmother's passing. It would comfort me knowing that she will always be with me.
• A picture of my whole family because they are dear to me. I could never live without my family, they are my rock.
• A picture of my friends because they influence me. They influence me to be who I am and to throw what others think of me into the wind.
• My class ring would have to go with me. It helps me to remember what has happened throughout my high school life with just a glance.
• The pocket knife my aunt and uncle gave me. It will help me through the problems I may confront and it shows that they care for me.
•  A bottle of germ-x that can take the germs away. I do not wish to become sick because of a mistake.
• A first-aid kit can help me stay safe. There is no reason for an infection where I could die.
• Lots of water because dehydration kills. You never know when you will find water.
• Tooth brush and tooth paste because I can never go without brushing my teeth. What to do when you can feel insane from such a problem.

Greatest Moments!

• Birth- I may not remember it but I sure appreciate it.
• First Communion- Gaining the right to accept my faith as a member of the Catholic church.
• Graduating 8th Grade- It brought on the thoughts of obtaining new and more friends in high school.
• Getting My Driver's License- It allows me to travel the places I need to go to without asking to be driven somewhere.
• Volleyball Manager- To become manager helped me to see that I can still be of use to a team I wish to succeed.
• FFA Officer- It brought on the responsibilities of leading groups of people in their lives.
• National Honor Society- It allows me the right to change several lives of the people of my community.
• Confirmation- Brought those in the Catholic Church to see that I am an adult in my faith.
•  Catholic Youth Conference- The conference allowed me to meet new people and to share my faith.
• Being with My Family- They make me who I am. So, why wouldn't I see the time that I spend with them as happiness.

Who I was and what I have not forgotten....

Twenty years from now I would like to remember these qualities of myself:

1. I am making it through high school with good grades.
2. I improved peoples lives.
3. I made good friends throughout my life..
4. Life becomes more important to you as you grow older.
5. I became a part of National Honor Society during high school.
6. Never wish for life to go fast because you will end up missing now.
7. I learned the lesson the first time is better than later.
8. You could never have become who you are without the people around you.
9. Never can let anyone stop you from achieving your dreams.
10. Everyone is allowed to be their self and shouldn't be forced to conform.
11. "I can't" is never in your vocabulary.
12. Nothing is worth future regret, so, if you think you will regret not doing something. Then, do it before you regret it.
13. No one can decide your future, other than you.
14. Everyone makes mistakes, don't dwell on something in the past.
15. No one is worth changing yourself.
16. Don't judge a book by its cover, ever.
17. Never be someone you wouldn't be friends with.
18. Don't forget where you came from, because it is what makes you, you.
19. Never put more people in a car than there are seats for.
20. It is not always fun to be predictable. Sometimes it is better to be spontaneous and get into trouble than it is to get into trouble and then be spontaneous.

Meta......What?!!

1. If I were an animal, I would be a black cat because I would like to give bad fortune to those that have angered me.
2. If I were a car, I would be a Bugatti Veyron Super sport because if I could go over the speed limit I would be putting "the peddle to the metal" all of the time.
3. If I were an article of clothing, I would be a pair of worn sneakers because "comfortable" is the only way to go.
4. If I were a day of the week, I would be Wednesday because I'm in the middle of the week where the "bad" days are gone and the good are still to come.
5. If I were a food, I would be Chinese food because no matter what is in it, it is still delicious.
6. If I were a color, I would be dark blue because anything can happen when the sky is dark blue.
7. If I were a movie, I would be the Titanic because my friends are tragically mean, sometimes.
8. If I were a fragrance, I would be the smell of new rain because it is the refreshment of what has already been.
9. If I were a building, I would be a pyramid because they contain a lot of things.
10. If I were a plant, I would be a rose because there are many parts to me.
11. If I were a musical instrument, I would be a guitar because I can be what ever I want to do.
12. If I were a geometric shape, I would be a triangle because there are three main sides to me.
13. If I were a piece of furniture, I would be a chair because there are parts of me that like to comfort people.
14. If I were a song, I would be Rockstar because that is the only song that I can think of at the moment and I really believe that it is one of my sides.
15. If I were an appliance, I would be a stove because I like to cook. 
16. If I were a television character, I would be Abbey Schuto on NCIS because I like science.

19. If I were a cartoon or comic character, I would be Squid ward because I can be really serious.
20. If I were a word, I would be "and" because during school I am always doing something and more.

Synetics? Real or . . . . Unreal, That is the Question!

Which is wiser? a pen or pencil?
          A pencil is wiser because it is used more often everyday then a pen.

Which is easier to forgive? a street or a sidewalk?
          A sidewalk because if you are knocked down you can get back up, but if you are in the street    and are knocked down you may not be able to get up because a car might hit you first.

Which is smarter? A clock or a calendar?
          A clock because it sees more than a calender. A calender is only changed once a month, while a clock is constantly changing.

Which is easier to teach? a question or an answer?
          A question is easier to teach because an answer cannot be taught without the question being taught first.

Which is like a contest? a cloud or a sunset?
          A sunset is like a contest because it is a competition between colors the whole time.

Which is more fearful? new or old?
          Old is more fearful because it has time to develop its skills and may know how to torture you in more ways than new does.

Which is like a promise? Mathematics or science?
          Mathematics is a promise because if you work a problem correctly, you will get the right answer every time.

Which is more difficult? a dream or a nightmare?
          A nightmare is more difficult because the effects of seeing some of your worst fears may last you longer then the nightmare itself.

Which is braver? an hour or a year?
          A year is braver because it lives through longer problems than an hour.

Which has more pride? an entrance or an exit?
          An entrance has more pride because it is the first impression that you get.

Which is easier to close? a road or a map?
          A road is easier to close because all you have to do is but a fence over it or a gait but for a map it must be folded back into place perfectly to work.

5. Never Overthink- Sometimes the simplest answer is the right one.
6. Be Yourself- You are your happiest when you are being who you are meant to be.
7. Friends Are Better- Your friends should be worth more to you, than your boy-or girlfriend at anytime because they may not always be there for you.
8. Don't Say Something, You Don't Mean- You can always hurt someone's feelings just with one word.
9. Your Character is Your Way into Society- Just because you believe that you should say something to someone who is freaked out about something that they may have accidently did, doesn't mean that it may be the right choice and what you say can change another person's view of you.
10. Patience is Gold- If you have patience, not everything seems to go wrong in your life and you have the respect to be keen in situations.
11. If it is Worth Doing, then it is Worth Doing it Right- Nothing should ever be done wrong unless wyou want to go back later and do it again.
