Holocoust.


The Holocoust was obviously a very bad event in history. 6,000,000 jews were killed for no good reason at all. The video that was posted on the website was really informational. It had survivors talking about their expeirences which is un-imaginable to most of us. It's really sad to think about all the people that were tortured to death for standing up for their believes. Adolf Hitler was a very messed up man for many reasons obviously. One because he wanted to kill all the non blonde hair blue eyed people when he himself had dark hair and dark eyes. I don't know how so many people followed Hitler in all his wrong and horrible desicions. But also you have to look at all the people who spoke out against him. They are the people we should be honoring because they were not conformist like the rest of them. Their actions took great courage because most of them knew they were most likely going to be captured by the Gastapo and killed in the concencration camps. These people should be recognized as true Heros.

Gossip analogy.

 The gossip analogy was really accurate. It is impossible to pick up all the feathers that have blown outside in the wind, just like it is impossible to stop gossip once you have started it. I would describe gossip to someone else as a huge waste of time. To the people who gossip, do you not have anything better to be doing instead of making stupid and untrue things up about people you barley know. Gossip is the number one thing I really hate. When someone gossips they get a bad reputation and soon no one will want to be their friend. For the people that the gossip is about can often ruin their self esteem and make them feel horrible. Also the people will never forget it. The rumors said about them will always be in the back of their heads. One way to make people stop gossiping, my mother told me, is to say something good about the person they are making fun of and they will stop. I found that this works really well because I have done it numerous times. I really wish people would just grow up and stop making stupid things up. : ]

Grunge Music

 I chose grunge music for my project. I chose it because someone had already taken Heavy Metal. But I like grunge a lot as well. In my project I really wanted to emphasize the band Nirvana and their impact on grunge music. They were the band to make grunge very popular and well known. With Kirt Cobain as their singer it made the band power over all the other grunge bands that were trying to make it big. He has an amazing voice that fits grunge music perfectly. You can say that it kind of matches the  distortion of the guitar. Nirvana inspires me greatly when I play the guitar. Their music is really inspires everyone who listens to their music. So Nirvana is the reason why I chose grunge music.

Easter break.

 My Easter break was fun for the most part. It was nice being able to sleep in for a couple of days. Most days id have to wake up early for Softball Practice or games so that took up a lot of my time. Other than softball I spent a lot of my time with my family and friends. On Easter almost my whole family came to my house to eat. It was really fun because everyone is really outgoing and amusing. My mom put easter eggs filled with candy in the yard for my 4 year old cousin and 2 year old niece. It was really cute to watch them collect all the eggs and get excited when they open it. So Easter break was good. : p

Qoute.


This quote is important to me because it reminds me to go on with my life dispite all the hardships , because in the end  you learn from your mistakes and it makes you stronger. This quote is for anyone who has been through ruff times, which is most of us. This qoute also tells us to not give up on yourself. It is a simple, easy to understand quote but it's difficult to get to the point where you become stronger, but it teaches you to keep moving forward.

Easter.

Easter has always been a really fun holiday for me. Especially when I was younger because my parents would always take me to a big easter egg hunt. It used to be my favorite holiday because of all the candy I would get. My family and I go to mass every Easter. Sometimes we attend the Easter Vigil, which is really long, but it's fun to go and watch people get baptized. Now since Im older there isn't as much joy as their used to be. But now I am able to watch my little niece do the the easter egg hunt. My favorite thing about Easter is that we don't have school for two weeks.

future job

My ideal future job is to help children and babies. I would really like to be a nurse that helps  children and/or babies.  I have also thought about the idea of being a niku nurse. A niku nurse takes care of the new born baby when it is first born. I understand that there are a lot of emotional aspects of this job, but I feel that despite the hardships I would face I would really feel like Im making a difference. If this doesn't work out for me I think I might want to be a dentist. But my ultimate goal is to help children. I also would like to work at a children's hospital, such as St. Jude. I would really enjoy making the children feel better and get them laughing. If I knew that I made a child happy for the whole day it would allow me to feel self accomplishment, and it would make my day better as well. So hopefully I'll have enough strength to do a job that requires emotional hardship.
