My goal is to have a eulogy but if I can’t do that then that is where resume comes into play. Also when you have a resume you can work hard enough to become a eulogy. With an eulogy you can talked about everywhere even in articles to be used in the near future for someone.

    The United States of America is a country with strong beliefs. Yet for centuries, despite our resolute opinions and insistence that we are a “civilized” society, we have paid little attention to key schools of philosophy. This is part of Alexis de Tocqueville’s assertion that while we act within a set of cultural rules, we have done very little to challenge or discuss what our core values actually are. We rely instead on the self, and the “indefinite perfectibility” of man – the concept that we are capable of and should strive for unlimited progress.…

    It was but a few years back when I met Sherlock Holmes. In our eighth grade year he was new to my school, he moved from Cambridge to Westminster, here, due to a change of his father's employer.

    haha, why'd you scare my Mimi!?! lol but that was sooo cute when she said: "Bells have you seen my mom?".
