Sense this week is all about giving thanks, id like to tell you want I’m all thankful for.

I’m thankful for my best friend Kyrie! I’ve never gotten in a fight with her and I always have a time of my life when I’m around her. She is there for me though every issue I have gone though in my life, and helped me through a lot of ruff times in the past. I don’t know what I would do with out her and I’m so thankful she is my friend.

I’m thankful for my parents, both my parents have helped me out through life weather its from school or ruff times I have gone through. The past year has been a really ruff time in my life, and my parents have helped me out though the whole situation I’m so thankful to have parents like mine. They have supported almost every decision that I have made. And always pointed me to the right direction.

I’m thankful for my life, I don’t think people realize how precious life is until you hit that situation in time. I know that I have been very lucky a couple of times, but I have two situations that I will never forget. I’m so thankful for the opportunity that God has given me, I don’t think I thank him enough for this.

My thanks for all my friends, family, and sister as well are all thankful things that I’m thankful for. I couldn’t imagine having a life with out all these people. I think people start to forget what Thanksgiving is all about. We have to remember what were thankful for in life instead of what we want more of. Happy Thanksgiving!

Skin color to me is no different than viewing someone’s hair color or eye color. I hate listening to racial comments, when everyone is the same. Today I was watching on the news about these two men who are leads of a clan that is sort of branched of from the KKK. They interviewed these two men who were negatively discriminating against Obama.

As I was watching this interview and listening to the things they said I just froze. I don’t think I’ve been more embarrassed in my life, when they said the things they said. Somewhere throughout their interview they had said I should be ashamed for voting for Obama and if I was of the white race. This was very upsetting listening to someone basically tell me what to do.

I know America has freedom of speech, but isn’t there some certain extent you can go? What I don’t understand is that people can grow up just hating someone by their genetics. If you hate people for their skin color why not their eye color or color of their hair. Because there is seriously no difference

Also the thing they don’t realize is that were all immigrants though our ancestors, we didn’t just magically appear here in America. Everyone has a right to live here, and it just irritates me to see people hating others for their skin. When we were once immigrants by our ancestors too!

Friend I think is a word that is undifinable. In in the dictionary a friend is a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard. Through my life I have made so many friends, and made so many memories with them also. I think growing up you learn a lot from how to pick your friends. I think it teaches you how to grow more mature, and what interests you like in someone.

I know while I was growing up I had a lot of ups and downs with a best friend but we still made it in the end. I think you learn from fights, and it helps your relationship grow stronger. I know when I was going through a really hard time I started to take it out on one of my best friends. We got in a big fight for about a month till I realized what I did was stupid and explained why I was so rude to her. In the end it made our friendship a lot stronger and more closer.

Also I think growing up you learn who your true friends are when your going through difficult times. I had two very close friends at one poit this summer and both of them didn’t like eachother. One of them, who I thought was closer to me, was there for me for a lot more things. Until, I made a major change in my life and went through a ruff time. She left my side and stopped calling me and didn’t try to help me out at all. While the other one was there for me and did the best to do to help.

I love each and every one of my friends, and care about them dearly. I know that a lot of them will always be there for me. I learned that not everyone who you think is your friend will always be there for you in the end; but the people that are, are the ones that are undescribable.

You never really realize how precious life is until your put in that position of your life flashing before your eyes. People are always in a hurry no matter what there doing, no one ever slows down and takes a second to care. I think that maybe if we just all slowed down a little, people wouldn’t be under so much stress that they bring upon them selves.

When I got in my car accident I never was so thankful to be alive in my life. After that driving was never the same, and I hate even thinking about that accident. I always wished I could have a clicker and rewind time, but I have to live with what happened. I don’t think my accident would have happened if our world wasn’t based on just worrying about yourself rather than caring for others. Its to bad I was in a hurry that day and didn’t even stop to pay attention.

I have a totally different out look on life now, and I am so thankful for all my friends and family. I couldn’t imagine loosing someone that’s close to me, knowing that I never took the time to stop and care before they passed. I know that I love each and every single of my friends and family members, and I try to show them I care as much as possible. So they know when ever they need a friend in need that I’m there.

I think I learned a lot from this situation, that life is so precious and it can be taken by the blink of an eye. I also learned that if people would just take the time to slow down and pay attention to one another and cared for each other, our world would be a much better place. I hope this sends a message to people as a reminder on that your not alone, and there are other people that need to be cared for also.

Dear journal
Prized possession is something that I’m thankful for. My prized possession would have to be my sister, Koreen. I only have one sibling, and she is 10 years older than me. Not only is she a sister to me, she is my best friend also.

My sister and I aren’t like normal siblings we barely ever fight. Growing up I had always looked up to her, and always wanted to be just like her! When I was younger we always told each other everything. We always played together and always got alone.

My sister has been there for me through the good times and the bad. She gives me advise all the time about lessons she has learned already. She helps me a lot with not only my personal life but school too! I know I can share all my secrets with her and trust there not going to be told to others.

I love my sister very much and I am so thankful to have someone like her in my life. She helped me a lot through life, and I always know she’ll be there for me when I need someone to turn to. My sister is some one I will cherish for the rest of my life. She always has a good aspect on life to teach me, I don’t know what I would do with out her!

Dear Journal

Stereotyping, judging, or labeling; what ever the word is they all mean the same thing. I think this is a big issue that is seen in many teens today. I think a lot of people get hurt by this subject. I think a lot of times people take for granted for who they really are. Were all made in our own unique way.
Not everyone can be the same, if we were all the same no one would get along. One of my pet peeves is when people judge others for what they wear or from what they hear. I accept people for who they are not for what they wear or what they like. I think people don’t realize sometimes that others have feelings just as much as yourself.
People in our world spend way to much time stereotyping and talking about others, instead of actually going out and getting to know the person first. Media has a big influence on this I think

Dear journal:
Yesterday, One of my guys friends and I went to Tom and Jerry’s mini golf course. On our way down there he was telling me how many times he has been there, and that he won just about everytime. Well there was no doubt in my mind that when we walked in there he was thinking he would win.
As we began to start the game I thought in my head how funny it would be if I just crushed him in this game. Well we began to play and for a while he was up by two. When we came around to the fourth hole there was a divot in the course. This was for sure a spot where you didn’t want your ball to go. Well I let him take the first putt and his ball went about a foot and a half from the hole. Somehow I managed to hit my ball and bounced off his ball and into the hole, making it a hole in one. While his ball went down into where it seemed like a deep dark abyss. After this hole I was up by three.
As the game carried on the tension between us grew bigger and bigger. At this point the pressure was on I started winning, and he got so frustrated that he started to loose. The thought of beating a guy filled myself with a sort of glee and started to smile the rest of the game.
I walked in there knowing my competition was tuff, but I managed to pull myself through it and get the winning hole. Which left my score up by seven. I looked at him and I began to see his face get frustrated, knowing the fact that he talked him self up about this game the whole way there. Then eventually loosing by seven, to girl who hasn’t gone there sense 14. I think the whole situation really pushed his buttons and I will never let him forget that score of the game.
