Anne Frank.

I chose The Diary of Anne Frank, as my self-improvement book. I find myself very ignorant to the world because I take my life for granted. I don't appreciate the life that my parents have sacrificed over to give me and I take for granted of having a roof over my head, having food in the house at all times, and getting an education. Because I am well aware of this, I think The Diary of Anne Frank, will give me a different perspective. This book went on during a terrible war, she was a 13 year-old having to hide in houses, be in the house by 8 o'clock, only go into certain stores, and certain schools because she was Jewish. I never had to go through anything near that and because of it I don't appreciate the life that has been given to me. I think by reading The Diary of Anne Frank, I will open my eyes to many more things about life and appreciate what has been given to me and how fortunate I am to live the way that I do.

LHS EXPERT.

If I could become an LHS expert in anything I would become an expert in the individual growth of students at LHS beginning from their freshmen year to their senior. I would want to do this because I find students at LHS (myself included) very weird. For example, some people the same age that have encountered similar situations mature over differences in time. Some do mature, others continue to act as though they are in middle school still. Throughout my 4 years of high school, I know seniors that are ready to go into the real world and seniors that still act as though it's their freshmen year in high school and i just do not understand WHY?! Every year when a new freshmen class comes in and I'd be talking to teachers and they'd say "You guys were like that once," I just DO NOT believe it. I know as a freshmen my class was immature, but I don't remember us acting like we didn't have any type of home training. Of course there were exceptions, but majority of the class in my opinion didn't act like wild animals. I wonder if it's that the freshmen get more and more immature and child-like looking or if it's that I'm getting more mature? I've talked to some people in school about this and they have agreed with me also so to test it out I would want to observe certain individuals from different types of social groups and watch them for four years to see how each one changes. I think I would my results would be fascinating!

Weekend Grab Bag.

Today I feel rejuvenated, I don't know why, but I do. I got home last night at about 1 o'clock, but I didn't go to sleep until 2:30ish. I didn't wake up until 12 o'clock and it felt great! When I woke up, I didn't want to get out of bed, but I dragged myself out of bed and went to greet my mother. I spoke with my mom for a little while before I hopped in the shower and went past Aliccia's house. Aliccia always has a way for brightening my day. (: So after I stopped past Aliccia's house for about 2.5 minutes, I went to go pick up Jasmine from her friend's house. Let me add that Jasmine looked terrible, but that's besides the point. After I dropped Jasmine off at home I went to work, YAY! (sarcasm). I had to work until 7:30 and because everyone was at home watching the Eagles, the store was dead and so time dragged. After work I went to go see my long-time friends, Darryl and Eric. I haven't seen nor spent time with them in a really long time so being with them made me feel rejuvenated and ready to go! We played about 5 rounds of this card game called @$&h)*%. It was really fun, but unfortunately I was the @$&h)*% twice because I lost. ): So anyway, being around my close friends help my days go better, but it wasn't until I got home that my day became extremely fantastic... When I came home, I was welcomed by the BEST niece in the WORLLDDD ! She makes my day PURR-FECT whenever I see her. I love her so much. I taught her how to do the twist, walk like a sumo wrestler, and how to say "I'll punch your nose," in a matter of 20 minutes. ( I'm such a great aunt !) So that was my day !
