“Nothing in the world is worth having or worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, and difficulty.” A quote from Theodore Roosevelt that is not getting installed into the youth of this and last generation’s minds. Participation trophies demolished this belief and many others. We need to completely demolish the “everybody gets a trophy” idea. It has demoralized awards, neglected to teach children about failure and loss, abused their self-esteem, and not ready them for life ahead.…

Majestic connects to me personally with an assortment of events that have occurred in my life. In The Majestic, Peter makes difficult decisions. One decision he faces is to whether save himself or others. I faced a similar issue when I went to a birthday party in junior high. The party was at a water park.

My friends are ravenously eating a calorie, carbohydrate, and fat-filled combination of pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs, and more cake.

This picture shows me as well as a couple of my friends getting camouflage face paint at my 2nd grade birthday party. Just like every other kid's birthday party there was a theme. If you didn't have a theme back then, your party was lame, so mine was Army Training Camp.

And by legitimate, I mean the most accurate portrayal of a soldiers experience…
