Sometimes you need something to represent you, say a team. But you don’t have anything. I made a crest to symbolize myself. Three things I but on my Crest are symbols, values, and a motto. So let's start with the symbols on my crest. They are a hook, a key, a bow, and an arrow. The hook means I like to fish a lot. The key means I can open up new paths for myself and choose where I want to go. The bow means I am watchful from afar. The arrow means me watching can’t always be a good thing. Next up…

THE VALUE OF GODLY PARENTS Of all the possessions you own, what is the most valuable thing you hope to pass down to your children? Family heirlooms are special, but how many individuals would be willing to trade all they ever inherited from their parents for the chance to speak to them just one more time?

The first sight of the trenches showed that they were in the worst conditions and didn’t give privacy. The officers had told us that these “ditches” were going to remain as our homes for the rest of the war. These “worse” conditions were proved as we remained in the trenches for numerous days. It was the home where we were going to live…
