fitting in

One catorgory we all can feel the same emotions about is being a "teenager". Like in this story she doesn't really fit in with the blacks nor the whites cause she is a mixture of both culturals. It relates to me in the teenager sort of way. How we aren't really grown up enough to fit in with the adults, but yet can't seem to want to play house with our siblings. Were right there in the middle. Some of us push more to one side or the other. As in some people in our grade still can play video games till their eyes fall out, and some people can consistantly sit down and have a normal conversation with an adult. In my personal part I feel like I push towards more the finally growing up side. I'm able to know what I need to get done and do it to the best of my ablities. But yes, if you get me around people I'm comfortable with you can tell I'm still not ready to become an adult. Bursts of engery still come after candy, and the crashing for hours is still in total effect.

In 10 years my life will (or at the moment) still be in college or med school. I’ll have to have a part time job to pay for school and the extra things that come with it. I’d like to have a house or a decent apartment during that time. Family wise, I’m not really sure. It’d have to depend on if I’m married by then, who the husband is, and if we can afford raising a family with me being in school. Hopefully by the year 2018 I’ll know what I want out of life. Like the career path I’m supposed to be on. Not just that though, by then I want to be happy with my choices I’ve made for my future and the choices to come.

The attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon is something I will never forget. When I first heard about the attack I was coming back from playing outside, being 3rd graders at the time we were just being nosy to why the teachers were surrounding a single T.V. when we entered the class. I remember my teacher being weird about telling us to sit while turning on a channel of smoke and replaying the plane crashing into the world trade center. That's when I got confused about the whole situation. After going home and back to school I started understanding what was going on, but at a young age I still wondered why, why this had to happen to our country. Today now knowing what happened praying for the family's who loved one's died and not taking everyday life for grated is one of the best ways to help. Our country is fighting everyday to keep us safe from terrorism, but there is always that one in a million chance something horrible might happen again. For now though I feel that were safe from the terrorist.

This is a tough question because I can think of tons of things I would like to have or be be changed. After the long thinking though I'm pretty sure it'd start being a wish list. So I've come to the conclusion that right now in this moment in my life I wouldn't want to change anything. Even though school stresses me out I'd probably be bored out of my mind without it. Things might not be going as I planned or hoped for but I'm making the best of what is put in front of me so no need for change.

The heavy breathing, sweat running into cuts from unexpected tackles, a roar of screams coming from the stands, that's what we live for here. When football season comes around people in this small town go crazy. I feel the excitement from pretty much everyone game day. But even after the pep rally, warm up, and pregame talk comes kick off the one thing everyone hates to miss. You can almost feel the crowd take in a big breath to let out a yell as the ball is taking off. It reminds me that people can actually get together and be happy about one thing no matter how bad the team is or if we win state. The community coming together and supporting the team means a lot. And after Justin got hurt last night it really just hit me in the face how much this town loves us. How everyone has stayed close and prayed that he just keeps on getting better. So let Justin be the kickoff you don't want to miss out on. If we stick together and help Justin as much as we can he can pull threw this. Even if it means signing your name extra big on his poster. The little things mean the world.
