Influences?

Arent teachers supposed to try and encourage you to become a better person and do what is best for you? Then why are they trying to tell me not to do things that I know will help brighten my future and make me a stronger person. I always thought of a teacher as someone I could talk to and they push me and tell me to reach for the stars but my view has changed.

chicken for a buck!!!

i went to work tonight and our main thing to concentrate on was chicken sandwiches for a buck. my manager said that we were to ask EVERY customer if they wanted to purchase one. over the four hours that i worked tonight i said would you like a chicken for a buck.... it is amazing how if you push and suggestive sell how many people give in and make that purchase.. chicken for a buck I dont want to here it EVER again or taste it... chicken for a buck... chicken for a buck.... chicken for a buck...

Stress....

I love going to school and getting to see all my friends and living life.... But the homework part of it sends me over the edge. I tend to get stressed out and freak out and quit. I try and make this pact with myself that I will do my homework and get good grades. I can never stick to it and I dont know why :( So this semester has just started and I have stuck to it and plan on doing it for the rest of the semester... if any of you have any ideas on how to stick to this pact PLEASE!!!!!! let me know it would be huge... But you may think i am wierd but i do really love school and learning new things.... i am a nerd and i love it lol....
But any suggestions please let me know thanks :)

Romance

when you think about the word romance you think that it involves a man with a woman or vise versa... well i went to my small group today and we are reading a book called captivating. it is about a girls relationship with god and what comes from it... today we discussed romance and how god can romance us.. amazing right well it is. there was a story on a guy who had been talking to god and then a whale came up close to the shore and it was not even mating season so that was his "kiss" from god.... i think that it is huge to have a relationship like this with god because if you do not have god in your life you will not go anywhere.... and to be able to have someone SOOOOOOOO amazing love you and want you just makes me speechless!!!!!

Life Flashes Before Eyes

It is just another sunny afternoon and I was running a few errands with my sister. We had made our first few stops and decided to head to Southwest to watch my brothers basketball game. Singing along to the radio and thinking that nothing could possibly go wrong. I am a good driver and I am very aware of my surroundings. My sister suddenly screams to remind me that we have to run home first to bring my dogs there bone. I check my mirrors and it looks clear to change lanes. I begin to cut across and a the sudden my sister is white in the face and she is trying to scream by nothing is coming out. I swerve away and pull over. immediatly the tears come and I begin questioning my sister. Everything was fine. When we were on our way home my sister finally spoke, "Amy I am not scared to die but for that second when I thought I was going to I really didn't want to" said Amanda. What do you say to a sixth grader who could have lost her life because of the one she looks up to. I learned that you should never take for granted the time you have and love every minute you get. Because who knows you could be dead in a day, minute, seconds........

sticky situation

Have you ever been in a situation where you don't want to pick sides but you have a strong opinion on them both. Well that happened to me. Jillian decided that she is going to get married to this guy that looks like a troll. I didn't want to hurt her feelings and tell her that I don't think that he is the right guy for her. But then I don't want to make a sticky situation that can be avoided. If people didn't care then it would be so much easier to help someone out if they didn't take it so personal. I want to be able to help her but I don't know how to tell her. HELP!!!!!

Living Hell

Arent your high school years supposed to be the best years of your life? Well thanks to many of my classmates high school is more like a torture chamber. I consider myself and well rounded person but when i go to school i feel like an outsider that everyone stares at and bashes. I would love to be able to walk into school one day and for once know that I am in an environment that i can learn while enjoying myself instead of knowing that as soon as i walk through the doors eyes will turn and start judging. This may not be a big deal to some but i would love to be able to truthfully tell my children someday that i loved high school and miss it. But at this point in my life I cant wait to be out. Why arent high school years the best years anymore?
