Day 24

Hope to see many of you at the game tomorrow at Warren Fitzgerald. I remind you that in order to get the extra credit you have to find me, say hello and give me a piece of paper with your name on it so I remember who I saw. NO PAPER, NO EXTRA CREDIT!

Monday you will, hopefully, get back your first paragraph. Look at comments and then you can begin writing the rest of the first draft. I would suggest writing the next 2 body paragraphs and then the intro and conclusion. Remember that the third body paragraph is your opinion so you may use first person.

For tonight, contemplate the importance of you. What value do you think you give to your family, friends, community and greater world at this time? Do you think that you represent who you want to be or are there changes you would like to make before you go off on the next phase of your life (post high school)? Lastly, if you had to write an epitaph (sentence on your tomb stone) what would you want it to say?

As far as my family is concerned, i dont think i have very much to contribute to my family. I dont have many traits that arent already prexistant in my father, mohter, brothers, or sisters. I do feel, however, that i am the only one that memorizes so many useless facts and bits of information. I am the most loyal, if you will, to those important to me; i will not break a promise or scam anybody. Im not sure if i repressent what i want to become later on in my life. I still have a broad number of things i have to decide upon before i start planning my future (i.e. post-highschool education, navy enlistment, etc.) If i had to write an epitaph on my stone at this point, i believe it would be somthing like this: "Through thick and thin, I'll always be there..."

I think that the value i give my family is ove. I love my family very much and would do anything for them. My friends i give them the value of trust, and friends ship. If you cant trust your friends then there really is no way to be really good friends. I give to my community by paying for stuff. Not really sure what else i give to the community. Im not sure if i represent now what i want to represent in my future. I still have a while to figure that out. At this time im reaally not sure what i would write if i had to write a epitaph.

With my family I don't really believe I have added anything. As my friends I think I have added the value of trust. I will always be there through thick and thin, no matter what. I think I represent what I want to be in the feature. I want to be someone a complete stranger could go to me and tell me what is on their mind and trust me to keep it to myself. My epitaph would have to say "No matter what i always loved you ♥"

Mr. Kay,

As far as my family goes, I think that I have added a role model to my brother and sister.I know that they both look up to me and I have to eb concious of what I do around them. For my friends, I think that I have added trust and someone to talk to. I try to understand what my friends are going through and the situation they are in. I dont really know what I want to do when Iget older. I have many dreams that I wouold like to fulfill, which I will do my best to succeed. I think that if I had to write an epitaph right now I think it would say: " I'd rather be hunting"

I believe that I show and give many values. The value that I give to my family is the value of love. I am always there for my family no matter what. They always come first in my mind. Family is always going to be there for me, so I will always be there for them. The values that I give to my friends are laughter and honesty. I really think that laughter is a great value to have. Having a sense of humor shows that you are a nice person to be around. Honesty today, seems to be fewer and further in between. I won't stab anyone in the back and I see that happeing all of the time. For the community, I give kindness. I am not a mean person. I don't litter like many others do. I hold doors open for people and i try to be the best person that I can be. I think that I do represent the person that I want to be. I want to grow old just the way I am. And for my tombstone I would say.. "I lived the life that I've always wanted to live". At least I think that's what I'd say.

In my family, I believe that I am valued as the peacemaker. I really hate when people argue about stupid subjects just for the purpose of arguing. I generally try to show them how stupid they sound, fighting over something as pointless as, say, toothbrushes. Also, I generally am always the one who is smiling and upbeat. To my friends, I think that I am valued as a person who generally does not get upset over most of anything. I always make things into jokes and try to ease tense situations. I always try to help my friends out, whether it be telling someone else to stop being rude or just helping them with homework. In the community, I am helping out by doing help with activities at my church. We do things such as cooking meals for the homeless and helping out elders at retirement homes. I think that I will never be as good of a person as I want to be, and that is a good thing. It means that I always have areas I need to improve. If I had nothing to improve on, then I would be calling myself perfect, which I am far from. Finally, on my tomb stone, I would want it to say, "One word frees us of all the weight and pain of loss; That word is love."

The value probably most given off by me is being a helpful person, and a shoulder to cry on. When I was supposed to move I stayed with my sister while my sister and mom moved back to Florida because my sister that lives up here would be all by herself with two kids. I'm also a good person to talk to when a person has gone through something traumatic or has even just had a bad day. I love the way I am right now, I like that I am more mature than a lot of people my age. I would like to make a few more changes as far as showing more care for other's feelings and becoming more smart and calm. Oh wow epitath? That's scary but I'd want it to say what i did for others and who I was to them. Maybe: Carolyn Newton loved by many, hated by none, discoverer for the cure of Aids and Cancer and great mother, sister, and daughter and married to hottie Dave Grohl. hahaha.
I would want the "hahaha" because it's probably the best description of my personality.

Mr. Kay,
It is hard to completely contemplate the importance of myself, so I need to do it in parts. I'll start with my family. I have an importance on them because my sibling isn't very successful. I am not saying he is stupid or worthless, but he just isn't very successful. So, I think they expect a lot from me and to a certain extent, I deliver. I fulfill everything they expect of me and I will. I don't do it because they want me to, but I want to and that's another thing they like. On my friends, I don't think I am a huge importance. TO a certain extent, every good friends leaves something upon their friends, my influence just might not be very big. In the community, I don't think at my age I am really doing much. Outside of friends, parents, teachers, and close people like that, I just look like another teenager. And the greater world, I am pretty much another number of teens. Right now in life, I do represent what I want to be for my life. I don't ever really think of my self as a teen, logically I am, but I think I am either acting like an adult or a fun child. That's what I want to be for the rest of my life. On adult who likes to act like a kid. If I had to right an epitaph, I hope it would say something like, "Luke LaFountain, Was Who He Was." Something that makes me sound proud to be myself.
Because I am.

The value i would prrobally give my family is love or respect. I love my family very much and I would do anything for them. Respect because I respect all of them and they all respect me. For my friends I would have to give them trust. I trust most of them enough to tell them everything and not to talk about me when I tell them things. For the community i would have to give kindness. I dont liter and I recycle I try to do the best I can to help out our community.

Tyler McLeod said...

I think I have the value of giving my family and friends respect and always try to treat people how I want to be treated. I give to the community my assistance where ever I can contribute i.e. help with my neighbors kids when they want to go out or run. I help with our church's youth group. My education is very important to me and I hope to learn more as I finish my post high school education. The changes I would like to make is to become more commited to my future education and continue to learn from my experiences. My eipitah would read "I have lived my life to the fullest."

In my life, I show and give many values. As far as my family, I think that I show the value of determination. I am very determined in school, and always try my hardest no matter what. Also my family sees me as a very thoughtful individual and always trying to help my family solve their problems. For my friends, my value that I show is definetly loyalty. I am always loyal and trustworthy to my friends, and always there to talk when they need it. Also, easy going. Because I am always there to make my friends laugh, and to be there when they need me. Um, I dont know what I would put on my tombstone, but it would proboly say, "Cherish yeaterday, dream tomorrow, live today!" Which is basically saying live your life to the fullest and not wasting any minute of it.

I am the the oldest son in my family and i guss you could say the role model for my brother. I hvae more to live up to and have to help may brother alot. I am the hard working one and am always doing his work. To my freinds i'm the that can be most of the time able to help or be there for projects or what ever. I am happey with who i am as a person and do not seek to change. But change is not always bad so i am open for the cahnges for the better. I would put on my tomb stone "Long live shaun and all the work he did". I would put this on my tomb stone beacuse it would tell that i was hard working.

I think I would be considered a friend. Not just to my personal friends and family but to anyone. I am a great listener and am more than happy to listen to someone who had a problem or just needed to talk. I like to lighten the mood when people are angry by joking around and trying to get people to laugh. Before I go off to the next phase of my life , I would like to become better at time management. As a person I like who I am and think by staying the way I am will be good in college and adulthood. If i had to write an epitaph I would write " Live your life to the fullest because you never know what tomarrow holds." I would put something like that because I live everyday to the fullest and thats one of my main sayings in life.

Mr. Kay,
If theres one value I think I bring is maturity/responsiblity. A lot of people ask me why do you do certain things? If someone gives me crap and jokes about me I don't usually get worked up. Their is really no point in getting mad and saying something back that is mean and disrespectful. It is just the way I was raised. I love the way I act, and dont think I would change a thing. I think that 98% of the time I am myself, the other two maybe when i am uncomfortable. If theres on thing I would put on my tomb is "Their is no point in getting worked up over uncontainable things because in the end the universe tends to unfold as it should".

One thing that I hope that when my family thinks about me is love and joy. Actually, my family gets along very well and we like to do activities as a family.I love it, spending quality time together to see what's happening in one another's lives. I always try to make my family happy, I hate it when someone I care for is down. As for my friends I give them the value of trustworthy. Anything, anyone of my friend's has to tell me in private, it will not be shared with anyone else. I've learned to respect people's privacy and hope they will do the same in return. For my community, I always like to be polite to everyone. I know and have witnessed when other people were hurtful and mean to there fellow workers. I like to try and always be nice to everyone and anyone. In the end you never know who you could be working for one day, so you should always be polite and kind. Honestly, as of now I'm content with who I am. I'm positive that as I continue to grow older, my personality will change as well as other features. With the people I love in my life, I will find out who and what I want to be in life as well as don't. If I were to write a epitaph on my tomb stone it would say "One to make you smile and feel good will forever love you, as you." Basically meaning, I hope I can make you smile and feel good about yourself even when I'm gone and will always love you as you, not who you pretend to be.

id haveta say im pretty important. one value i give to my family would be youth. becuase they are all older than me. i think its hard to pick a value you give to the community or the world cuz how much effect does one person have on the world. but maybe people do have a bigger effect than i think. i feel i do represent who i want to be at this point, there are few changes i would make. if i had to write an epitaph i would want it to be "he followed his dreams and they didnt let him down" or somethin like that.

Right now i provide my family with love and support. Anything that my family tells me i lisen and respect, so thats another value, repect. I think that i have given my friends the value of trust and friendship. I trust all my friends and i think that most of them trust me. There isnt anything that I am contributing to the communittee or world, right now i think i am to young to do anything for the world, but im to lazy to care about the communittee. I think that once i grow up i will contribute a lot more to my commnittee, and the world. I would really like to help others after high school, and i am looking forward to having an impact on other peoples lives. I don't think that right now ive accomplished anything that im proud of that would go on my tomb stone. The only thing i can think of is "Josh Fugate...damn he was a good basketball player." HAHA

Chloe Martin 6th said...

I guess i would have to say i have strong values for my friends and family. honestly i don't have that big of a care in the community and the world as a whole. Well of course i care, it's just I'm not exerting any of my values or efforts to help change them. I like to focus on the people around me. Honestly i like who i am. Sure there are things i want to work on but not many. I'm not complacent just content with who i am.
I would want my epitaph to just say "She was the shit" Too often is death taken so seriously. Were all going to die and if I'm going to be remembered i want a true quality that explains everything I've worked for in my life. and hopefully i die with people thinking i am the shit.

Some values that I give to my family are love, acceptance, and helpfulness. By loving my family and accepting everyone for whom they are. I help whenever it is needed. Values that I give to my friends are being reliable and being helpful when needed. Some changes that I would like to make to my values are to be more knowledgeable, faithful, and volunteer in the community and spreading good will. If I have to make an epitaph it would say, “ hear lies John Edwin Kent III he was kind, friendly, helped others.

One value that I give to the world is honesty. I am a very honest person but I am usually nice about the truth. When my best friend asks me if her hair looks good and its a complete fuzzball I gently break the news. That is good for the people around me because they know they are always getting the truth. Another value that I bring is happiness. I am usually in a pretty happy mood. My happiness tends to radiate off of me into the hearts of others. (written with the help of kaleigh s. :D) Finally, on my tombstone I would like to say "death: the number one killer in the US. tell your friends" (dun dun dunnn) I guess humor is another one of my values. Ok for real, I would like to put "You only live once, make the best of it" on my tombstone.

The values I think I give to my family are independence, and I am responsible. I give these values to my family because I get my homework done , and I do my chores. I feel that I represent who I am because I try to be nice, and help people. Also, I think I represent myself when I play softball, and hockey. I don't think I want to make any changes about how I represent myself when I get out of high school. I don't want to change because I like the kind of person I am. What I would write on my stone would be "Here lies Katherine Walsh a good honest person."

I don't really believe that I added any value to my family. However, with my friends i believe that i added loyalty. Also sometime spontanism. I add some crazy moments which people who don't know me well wouldn't relize because im more quiet and laid back. So far the only thing i believe that im not that i want to be in the future is more outgoing. Around people im comfortable with, im very outgoing, but around those i just met and havent talked to i need to work on that. I think that if i wrote something on the epitaph would be something like "Live like there is no tomorrow". I like that quote because we want to make the most of life now because we never know when our time is up.

To my friends and family i give the value of trust. I believe my friends and family see me as a very trust worthy person. Just as i trust my friends and family i hope they can feel safe telling me anything. To the community i see myself as a role model someone people can look up to or say i wish my son or daughter is like him when they grow up. Not only when i am playing sports but also off the field as a person. When i die i want " Lived it to the fullest " on my tomb stone. Hopefully when i am old i can say that i achieved and saw and did many things in my lifetime.

i feel like i have much importance to everyone that i know, because i choose to get to know people really well, and with that comes, only sometimes, a sense of need. like i need to talk to you, or, i need to be with you.

i think i give my family is trust. if i ever do something big, they have got to know, so thats why i do not do stupid things, and thats why i am generally on there good side. but with that value, im 99% on their side. for my friends, its the sense of being there, or help[ing them in times of need, or just being there, because i like to, when permitted, talk to people about their inner feelings, and help find the root of the problem. i give the community laughter with my youtube videos, because i find that they are quite funny, and wether they are laughing at them for a good reason or not, i bring laughter. for the world, i bring a sense of hope, because one day, i will change the world, some way, and some how, i will change the world.

i gota cut this short, but what i would want on my epitaph, the thing that people will always remember me by, would probably go something like this: " I rose to the challenge, and i overcame the obstacle that is life." it has so much meaning behind it that i would need to have to talk to you later about Mr.Kay.

I think that rright now in my family i take a huge role. My dad is out of time sometimes, and my mom and sister dont cooperate with each other. So i act like a meditator and a person to help do chores when hes gone. In the eyes of my freinds, i think that they no that i am reliable and i can always help them when needed. In the community, as of now, i am not a big role. But, im 100% sure somehow i willl be involvved in community service, and doing other things to help people out. If i could make any change in my life, i would probably to pick to get a job. After reading into the wild, again, i think that there is some kind of joy through not always having to ask your parents for something and getting it on your own. And lastly, my epitaph, someting that i have seen in family, friends, and the communtity, "Keep your freinds close, and your enemies closer." I dont like putting something of how good of a person someone is on the epitaph, i want it to be something that people can learn and grasp from me.

(sorry that I didn't post this last night! I don't have a computer 'til late at night, and I had fallen asleep after getting home from watching Quatnum of Solace with a friend, and was too tired to think of writing my blog comment in that state.)

I think I'm important to my family because I'm their only daughter, and they don't want me to get hurt. I know that it's hard to believe when my parents try to stop me because I seem to be addicted to the bad ideas(leaving the house without permission, not calling so they know where I am, not doing hiomework, ect.ect.). But when it comes down to the main reason WHY I can't do certain things, it's because I'm a young girl, and there are people who take advantage of that.

I'm not the normal, naive, airheaded(hey now...) girl when it comes to serious matters. But if I'm caught off guard, and my parents have snuck(sneaked/snook?) up on me and scared the ever livin' outta me, they don't want that to be the last thing I remember in an encounter like that.

I don't think I can represent what I'm gonna do later in life, but I'm sure as I'm sane that I won't be a cutesy little (pardon my rudeness and language) crack whore like some of the students here. :)

My values that I have as those that my family has stored upon me. I think im a nice person but i think sometimes i could try harder. However I think right now im suppose to be who I am. I think that all my values are in check. When I do enter the next stage of my life I hope i stay the same, but my values mature with me. I would hope my tombstone would say "Beloved by family and friends, lived a great life. I think that this would represent my life and how it was lived.

The value I bring to my family is happiness. The value that I bring to my friends is a sense of fun and humor. I am not sure yet on the value I bring to the community and the world. There are many changes that I need to make. A change I need to make is putting more effort into school. This helps me in the next phase of life because it will set me up for college and success later in life.

Here is a try on what I would write on my tomb stone. I always tried to be a good man.

The value i give to my woul;d be independance. It doesn't sound like it would make much sence but it does. I do things for myself, and I am always off doing soemthing on my own. In the future i want to represent self-reliance and happiness. I cant' wait to have my own independance and live on my own. I am loyal, and always just try to have fun. If i were to pick a sentance to go on my tombstone, i really have no idea what i would pick. So many different statements could fit the way i live, or what would represent me.

Well, I am quite apprehensive to talk about this subject. When you ask us to contemplate about a quote, we express our thoughts and opinions. However, this subject in my mind can lead to a lot of consequences you might not have foreseen. Someone might value themselves so much while others thoughts are very modest. In fact, giving human life value might be "evil" as we see it. How can one put one human life before another's value? Discrimination, that's how, weather it is about traits or relation. I do not wish to do this blog manly because of these thoughts influence my own, and would "contaminate" the opinion of my voice. I do not expect to get the most highest grade for this blog, just enough not to spend time after school.

In my family I contribute a lot as far as values go. I am kind of the life of my family, I always make them laugh. Whenever someone in my family is down I can always find some way to bring them up and make them laugh to make them feel better. I am always the one making jokes and telling funny stories. As far as friends go I am pretty much the same. I try not to be nosey and ask a lot of qeustions because I no people get mad at that. I think I am grateful for the friends I have, I couldn't ask for anything better. I my community I don't really contribute a lot. I know I should try more and help out more but I hate doing that kind of stuff. I sure hope I represent what I want to represent in the future. This is the time when you must try to work for future. Now is the time that will let you know if you will be who you want to be after school. After I get out of high school I have a couple of things I want to do. I might want to go into the marines or the navy and start off that. What I really want to do is to start my own business and open up a garage where I can work on cars because I love doing that stuff. I'm not really sure what my epitaph would be right now, I don't plan on having a tombstone any time soon.

I think I am an important part of my family. Sometimes I don't know what they would do with out me. I think I give off a positive attitude around my house. At this time I think I am a good friend and that will be a great contribute to the world. When I go to college I want to study computer sciences. Some changes I would like to make before I go off to college would be my habit of procrastination. It gets me into tight jams every once and a while.
The sentence I would like to put on my head stone would be, "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways,Totally worn out, shouting out "Holy Shit" what a ride."

I can only hope that my importance to my family and friends is as great as their importance is to me. I know that my importance in my family is just being me. I think that the most valuable thing I can give to my family is my love and my encouragement, and that is all they are asking for. I think that this is the meaning of a family, having each other to be there for one another. The role my importance plays in my friends lives is hard to put into words. I am someone my friends can talk to and trust, and also have a fun time with. Everyone needs a friend to be there, and that is what I strive for, to be a good friend. I don't think I have as great of an impact on the community as I do in my family and friends lives, but I do try to make a difference. I am kind to those around me and help whenever I can. It is difficult to say if I am what I want to be right now. The most I can do is stay true to myself and I will be happy with my life no matter what. For my epitaph I would like it written something along the lines of, "Do not mourn that she is not with us, but praise because she is with God."

I think i give my family and fiends a sense of comic relief. I tend to find funny things out of things that can be serious. Or when ever someone is in a bad mood I try to make them feel better with a laugh. I think I pretty much represent what I want to be. There isnt anything that really comes to mind that I want to change about myself. If i could choose a Epitaph for my tombstone it would be. " If you know you wont do it again do it."

Do you think that you represent who you want to be or are there changes you would like to make before you go off on the next phase of your life (post high school)? Lastly, if you had to write an epitaph (sentence on your tomb stone) what would you want it to say?
The value i would give to all of those things would be wealth. Everyone in the world wants to be wealthy and be successful. When your with friends sometimes you want to go to the movies, but you don't have any money. Money is a concern in everyone's life. I do not think i represent who i want to be in my later years. I still want to make changes to my life. On my stone i think i would put something simple. I would put "Be Cool Zack Ruffron".

To start off, the value i bring to my family is love. To me, family comes first before anything. I will always love them, no matter what comes between us. I there are numeruous values i bring to my friends, like humor, i try to help my friends when theyre down, so i make them laugh, they say im really good at making people laugh. But that also leads to another value, i dnt really no how to specificly describe it but i care about my friends the same as my family, we just arent blood related. For the community I show kindness because im a try hugger, and idk i try not to be mean. Also, truthfulness, i dnt lie, and i wouldnt lie to the commuinty. The epitaph on my stone would be: Stefanie Rae Samuel; live your life, youll never know what you got til its gone.

I think I bring a good vibe to my group of friends. I like to be chill and not piss anyone off. A value I give to my family is hard work. When one of my parents tells me something to do, I try not to argue. I try to live up to their standards to show them I can work hard. I think I do rep myself well, I like who I am. If I had to change something it would be not being so lazy all the time. If I had to right a sentence it would probably be lifes short, party naked.

Mr.kay,
My biggest value That I give to people is the ability to understand, and make lite of hard times. The type of person I want to be is myself, I know that god made made me the way he wants me and I should just stick to it. I want to be the type of person who acts themselve no matter how many times people say your weird or your annoying because I know then that im donig my job. Not saying my job is to annoy people but more so to just show people that I'm not going to ever act the same as them, and I'm just being me. When I die I want my epitaph to say no matter how short and to the point this is i want it to say "Life's what you make it." Because truely It is. you only make things bad becuse you tell yourself they are, the same with good, and sad times.

A value That I give to my family is joy and respect. I respect my family just like they respect me. Normaly with good maners and being helpfull. I respect friends and comunity great. I am a nice person to know and help people when they need help. In comunity I act polite and respect people how they respect me. In my life I plan to look into law enforcement. Im not to sure on the words I would put on my tomb stone.

I don't think I have given much to my family. I think I gave my friends someone to talk to when they are upset. I have not given the community like anything. This blog is kind of hard for me because I don't see me as anything special, Low self esteem ness. If I represent what I want to become in my future? Like job wise? I do my own hair, and the girl with purple hair.. I do hers too. I think I'm pretty good so yeah sure whatever. What I want on my tomb stone? Well Sorry sir but I want to either donate my body to science or be cremated. I'm not going to have my body put into the ground where the worms will get me!!! Biggest fear= worms. Ew. Ugh

The value i give to my family is, love. i would do anything for my family, to make them happy. I Love everyone in my family very much. Yeah we might fight sometimes but thats just what a family does. For my friends the value i give them is trust. Anyone can trust me with anything. If one of my friends tell me smething and they dont want other poeple knowing, their secrets safe with me. I would go out of my way to help them as well. I think i want to make some changes on who i am, before i represent my self. What i would write on my epitaph would be, Sometimes you have to take two steps back, in order to take one step foward.

I think i give my family honesty. We are very open about everything. I always feel like i can go to them and talk to them. I give my friends trust. We all trust each other and tell each other the truth. I dont really think i give my community a value. I really would like to change a lot before graudating high school. i want to be able to look at everyone the same and not judge someone by the way they dress or act. my epitaph would say "I would rather be here than in Michigan."

I believe that overall i show very muh importance to not only family but friends as well. From the family perspective i feel i show a great amount of support. My dad works from 7 in the morning till 6:30 at night year round. My mom on the other hand only works in the summer part time occasionally. Along with the hard pressure put on my mom i also have a 14 year old brother who tends very often to not help out alot around the house. So being the bigger brother and with all the support that my mom gives me in life i also help out her when needed whenever. My mom appreciates this help so much and loves me for it. Along with family i find my self to also be very important with my friends. Im not one to go out and do something stupid, but in general i know alot of my good friends tend to. To be honest i dont care what they do caus there my friends but i also give them support and tell them what not to do. I also never include myself in any stupid things done because of guilty by association (it aint worth it). No matter what i still love my frinds and they love me because of my beliefs and the support and importance i give and am to them.

Mr. Kay,

For the traits that I give my family, I would say that I give them laughfter and joy. I think that my family wants me to really show how much I can accomplish in life. I think that they wish I was a little more focused on my school work, rather than my friends. I wish I did to. Next term, I am going to be an all A B student, whether I get to have fun or not!
I want to go to collage, and get a 2nd or 3rd degree. It would really make my parents proud. If I ahd to write an epitaph, I think it would say "No matter the changes that life brings to you, remember that the best is still to come."

Mr. Kay,

I know that then end of the marking period is this Friday. But I really need to bring my grade up. On the last vocab test, I studied the wrong weeks, so I know I failed that. My parents told me about my opption that they were going to put into action unless I could prove to them that I can get good grades and keep them. I can't fail, I just can't. Whether I have to write a 6 paragraph essay on why its important to do good in school, or write by hand every blog I have ever missed, or for all the vocab tests I have failed I have to retke them and write an example sentence for each! Please, I really need to bring up my grade. This will never happen again.

Sincerelly,
Danielle Turner (5th hour)

First off, let me apoligize for that lateness. I went to the blog saturday morning and clicked on the top one, thinking it was friday's blog. But since it said don't respond till monday I didn't do anything. So, today at school I was talking about how we didn't have to do anything for the blog on Friday and found out I was wrong! Sorry Mr. Kay!

On with the blog...

The value that I think I give my family, friends, and society is motivation. I'm truly not sure if this is a value, but, I feel I persuade people to keep working. Or, if their already doing something, I persuade them to work harder. It is not just working on a job, but more working on making your life the way you want it to be. I think I represent who I want to be for the most part for the rest of my life. I believe I am hardworking, wise, and intelligent. All of these values, and more that I have are what will guide me through my journey as I try to live life to the fullest. For my epitaph, I would want to say, "NO REGRETS" because thats exactly how I feel about my life. I try not to dwell in the past and just look at what the future holds.

I was gone

I think that I am in big importance to the people that are around me. I am a big importance to me family because without be our family would not be complette. My family needs me to give the adice and to be there for them. I somewhat has shaped there personality. They have also shaped my life. I think that you shape everyones personality as they di for you. I think that I do represent who I want to be and I think that I am heading in the right direction. My epitaph would be,"my shit is so hot I leave the toilet bowl steaming." just kidding it would probley be something like this. "life is what you make of it". but I don't know. I want it to be something really good.

I would have to say i dont give a value because i tend to be the kid in the corner who's quiet and doesnt say a werd to anyone. I tend to be and individule that doesnt like talking and hanging out with people. I tend to hide in the shadows. If i could wright something i wouldnt. It would be;...... The lonley kid in the shadow who noone liked and wish they could of gave me a chance. (hailey) :'(
