Soccer

I have a new found interest in watching soccer games. Besides the cute guy that's out there, I acutally like them. They are intense and action packed. There is never a dull moment, unless they are playing a really bad team. I have always said that soccer was such a boring sport so what is the point in me going to watch a game for? I was completely wrong. They are so much fun. The fans get so involved and scream and shout. It's like it's life or death. The excitement of the player running and putting a shot up is just more than I can handle. Especially if the game is tied and we're running out of time. (AHS vs. DCHS) It's also a time for me to connect with all my friends because we all share the same interest in watching soccer games too!

Leadership

What kind of leaders do I admire? The kind of leaders that I admire are compassionate, kind, and always willing to help. They would stop whatever they were doing to help you in your time of need. The one's that don't act as if they are being punished for just being around you. Over the years of my life, I have had good leaders and bad ones. Some people who just came into my life for a limited time, and then they were gone. Others are here for the long haul. Those people are some of the people I used to go to church with, my family, some of my teachers, etc. These people are there for me no matter what. They also lead me in the right direction and they want to see me succeed in every area of my life. They don't lead me on the wrong path to be mean, if they do make mistakes, we all learn together. I like someone who is considerate of my opinions also. Not just someone who thinks that they are the only ones who are right. That gets very annoying to me. I want to follow someone who understands me and cares about me.

Friendship doubles joy

This proverb means that if you have good friends then that will make you more joyful and it will also make you less sad and you will not grieve as much. This summer, my life wasn't really all that great. Both of my grandpas were sick and in and out of the hospital. My brother is going through a really hard time. The guy I dated for almost 3 years broke up with me for no reason at all, or at least he didn't give me one. My life just kinda turned upside down and I felt as if I was all alone. I stayed in my room for almost 2 weeks straight, only getting up to eat or to use the bathroom. Then... one day some of my friends came over and pulled me out of bed and made me get up and continue on with my life. This proverb rings true in my situation. Although I didn't really want to get up and move on, when I finally got that extra push from those who care about me the most, I realized that life actually was going to be alright. They showed me that even though one chapter had ended, that a new one was always waiting to be started. Now I'm on a new chapter of my life and everything is great. I now have a new outlook on the way things turn out also. As long as I give my best and I know that I did all I can possibly do, then the rest is out of my hands, and there is no need wondering what might have been.

Relativity

Of all the relatives I have, I would say that I am most like my mom because most say we should have been twins instead of mother and daughter. We have the same mouth, eyes, facial features, and even our hair is the same. My mother and I look almost identical if you compare our elementary school photos. On the other hand, I looked like my father when I was born. I had the orangesh, red hair with the big blue eyes. I still have my fathers nose and ears. Which are very distinctly noticed between the two of us.
