High school...

My highschool experience is a paradox within itself. I don't want to go to school most days, but I drag myself out of bed anyways. I like to learn, but I hate working and writing. I would rather just sit and not take notes but still learn what I feel like. Some of my classes are slow or boring, but I still don't want them to speed up; I just wish I was somewhere else. I guess I measure my life in days. Some school days are fun and go by quickly, while others are a drag. I don't really dwell on the past or look to the future much, so every day is something different for me.

Another Icon

Alrighty...

Martin Luther King Jr. is an American icon. He represents freedom and equality. When you ask people about Martin Luther King, they will tell you about his fight for civil rights. He died embracing his ideals, and he is an icon for equality among men. Without him, there could be segregated schools and workplaces and public racism. There is an MLK holiday and countless statues, buildings, and other things erected in his memory and in our memories. Martin Luther King pervades our minds.

An Icon

Cigarettes stick themselves to our brains every day. They represent freedom of choice to some, rebellion from uptight parents to others, or even a daily necessity for people. What makes them so pervasive in America? The smell is instantly recognizable, and the sight of someone lighting up carries a different message to everyone. Cigarettes invade our lives every day.

Quotes

"Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% what you do about it." -Charles R. Swindoll

"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you're doing, you will be successful." -Albert Einstein


As I go forward each day, I see these quotes as they hang on my refrigerator. I find that the best part of life is doing what I love and taking opportunities as they come to me. I strive to make the best of each moment, and I try to learn as much as possible to help me on my journey through life. Every day is a new experience and a life lesson for me. Success will come to me because I love what I do.
