This spring break, I traveled to Italy where I had the chance to visit many cities such as Rome, Pompeii, Capri, florence, and Serrento.I have to say that this was an amazing experience. It was an eye opener for me to start traveling to different countries.I got to see places such as the colosseum.(It actually put my hands on it! It was awesome!) It was beautiful. We walked at least 5-10 miles each day, so I got a good workout this break for this time!. Experiencing the roman culture was the most amazing part of the trip. It was good to not do averge american activities for a week. If it were up to me, Iwoudve stood there much longer than 9 days, but it wasnt. And I needed to eat something good(meats!). I WILL BE ... read more

I believe in God. He created us humans. And In His image because he believed we were the most important creature he made to step on this earth. I believe that God gives me the strength to continue on with my life in the worst of situations. I know god is always watching over me with everything and everywhere I go. There has been times in my life where situations just got really bad and all I could do was pray for everything to get better. Simply praying for a few minutes helped alot. It always does. Its amazing how I feel his presence and that comfort. The feeling that everything is going to be ok now. God is all around us and he answers our prayers in some way. My dad got a tattoo of ... read more

I want to give a shout out to david. I have almost every class with david and he is always asking great questions and making the class think beyond what is being asked. Another person I want to give a shout out to is Jacob. In history class, he is always participating and always has good reasoning to support his answers. He answers the more harder questions that not many people know the answer to. Congrats to him for getting all 3 stamps so far.... read more

Yes i do agree because if you rule with fear people will conspire. However if you live an rule with love you will get more people's attention. Yes there are men like that, for example, a captain of a sports team. They lead their team because they love them and care for the sportnand victory I think that Castiglione thought men should live and act the way he described because if you are kind and show love people may be willing to open up instead of being so fearful. People should lead out of kindness because it would get more people to want to be friends or follow the way you think. I say Love. I say this because if people fear you to much some might "conspire" and make plans behind his or her back. ... read more

1. The most heoric person from 2011 in my opinion is 'mother Robin'. She is the most heroic because it takes courage to do what she does. I think it's amazing how she risks her own life for someone else. She sold her hous in Hawaii to move to Indonesia to help women. She is helping women because in their country in after you give birth to your baby you have to pay the hospital or else you can not take your baby home. 2.If I had the chance to nominate a hero for 2011 it would be my mom. I would nominate her because she focususing really hard on continuing school to get her masters. Thats something that is really motivating me to go to college and go far in life. She is a hard ... read more

1. Shoegazing is when someone who is in a memoriable place and they take a picture of their feet in that memorable place. 2. No i have never paricipated in shoegazing. This activity never came to mind while taking pictures. Although I never participated in this activity i think that this is very creative and unique. 3. I think that in current day America the "beauty norm" is created by desires. I say the beauty norm is created by desires because to most people what they think is beautiful is something they want. for example, many people would call a new car beautiful but most people cannot afford it. i also think that everyone has their own "beauty norm" because everyone is different and different thoughts of what is beautiful 4. In myself i believe that ... read more

When I was a kid, I always said I was thankful for my friends and family. Thats it. Over the years up to now, I realized That I have alot in my life that others do not and I am thankful for that. I am thankful of my friends and family because they have always been there for me no matter what.I know they will never leave my side. I am thankful for my education because I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity of recieve education and go on to college. Many people around the world, don't have the chance to recieve the education that I am getting now. Some get no education. Another thing I am thankful for is all the United States troops that have served, will serve, and who paid the ultimate ... read more

1)"Sometimes to live, you have to take risks." This quote tells us that you cannot always be too careful because if you don't take risks, then you just don't know how to live life to the fullest. 2)"it is not the length of life, but the depth of life" -Ralph Waldo Emerson this quote Is significant because it states how it does not matter how long you live life, but what you make out of it. What you do to shape your life is important. The memories that are made, the struggles one faces, and the success one has depends on how their actions within their life span. 3)"the best way out is always through" -Robert Frost This quote is significant because in order for a person to get out of whatever situation they are ... read more
