I have not been thinking differently but I am surely endeavoring. I have an arduous time changing things about myself so at this point I am just gradually endeavoring. After reading these two chapters I endeavor to disunite my emotions from my thinking due to the fact that they incline to get me into an abundance of trouble. Prior to making decisions, I stop and notice first if I am allowing my emotions to get in the way. I ascertain no emotions are tied to my decisions just so at the end I get a good outcome.…
I once thought I couldn’t believe in myself! I felt as if I were nothing but a sheet of glass that was completely useless. When there were gloomy days, I felt like broken glass that was scattered all over the ground and I wouldn’t be fixable. So I thought if I joined a sport, I would then, have no choice but to believe that I can do more and accomplish more, and be better than whom I was! When I was little I loved to run…

We were talking about calling you into a cafe when we turned you were leaving the room with a couple. As I said understand anything.…

My Personal Journey "Listen to what I say, my companions, though you are suffering evils. All deaths are detestable for wretched mortals, but hunger is the sorriest way to die and encounter fate. "(Odyssey book 3) Circe is referring to Skylla, a monster, in this quote. But, she makes a point.…
Right now I’m very proud of myself, so far I’ve been taking the diet seriously and that each day I decide not to eat a pound cake. My soccer has been getting better and better each day I decide to be the best. I love the way I’ve been transitioning to high school, each and every day I’m getting better at school and life.

Since we were having money issues we had no car, so when I got out of school every day it was hectic crossing the busy intersections. Putting on my headphones and listening to hip hop was the only solution, it gave me an energetic feel and motivation to go home and do my homework. The beats and the lyrics made me more active making me do things off my…
My greatest accomplishment in life is to attend a catholic school. I view this as an accomplishment because of all the rewards that have come out of my school. I go to Gehlen Catholic which is a private school. I believe that having a private education is one of the greatest accomplishments that anyone can receive. Because of the small class sizes I was able to receive a more direct teacher to student education.…
Making It to the Big Time I am Vincent Crabtree. When I was a freshman in High School, I participated in an activity called “Winter Percussion”. It was much like marching band, but it took place during the winter and spring season, and it featured a smaller ensemble composed mostly of percussive instruments. Throughout the season, we had practice almost nightly, working to put together a show that would be performed in competition with other drumlines.…

At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…
My watch read 3:15 a.m as I walked into a room full of tired parents and anxious students! As I looked around I wasn’t sure what surprised me more, the fact that I was on time or that I didn’t have the largest suitcase! Krista and I dragged our luggage around the gym looking for our red Grosse Ile bags filled with shirts and sweatshirts. After a good five minutes, we found our bags and joined Mara and Elle in the center of the gym.…
