The Trail Of Tears

       This is Me and my friend Kristen’s story from the view point of the characters. By the way it’s the people in the middle down on their knees. The mother was spoken by Kristen and the son was me.

Son: I remembered watching you fall to the ground. You hit the ground like a stone.
Mother: I was upset. I wanted to kill him, Andrew Jackson. I never wanted to kill someone so badly and for once I actually meant it.
Son: Yes, the devils son he made us move along the Mississippi river to where Oklahoma now lies. We where surrounded by people who lost many, but we soon found out they we would lose our own too.
Mother: Oh yes That horrible trip cost our family. Your father, he was such a brave man he took the fall for others. He fed others, and let himself starve. and then there was your brother…….(couldn’t go on)
Son: He caught that disease that was sneaking around. It was 1838, it was cold and wet. Everyone was deranged. I tried to hold on to my brother and also my best friend, but he couldn’t take it any longer. He died so young only at 10. Maybe I should have been the one to die.
Mother: You should never say that it happened for a reason. I needed you to be there for me, I couldn’t make it with out you. That day i fell everything came back to haunt me; your brother’s death, your father, the sorrow, and people with empty hearts filled around us.
Son: I held on to with all my life. I couldn’t watch you leave me because if you were gone then I would be one of those people with there hearts filled with emptiness. I had watched many people die, but what would happen if I couldn’t see that anymore, what if i were the one being watched dieing.

What Action Would Your Name Be If It Was A Verb

    If my name was a verb it would be Dance.

I love to dance. Always have and always will. It seems like I’m always making up new dances or joining in on ones I have no idea how to do. Me and my friends are dancing all the time. We always having a great time and there are lots of memories to do with it. I danced for 8 years in a studio but I stopped after that and know it’s just for fun. I think if I could go back that maybe I wouldn’t have stopped. But who knows.

Regret

                    Regret it’s hard to forget.

I look back into the past and see things I’m unhappy with. Saying wow I would change that if I could go back. I’m only 13 and have so many regrets. That just doesn’t sound right to me. I could think of many things I would do differently too. But then I think well this all makes me who I am. But am I happy with who I am. Would I really change everything. Maybe the small things but the big things are a lesson learned. Just to think of things I could have done the though makes me upset.

Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can’t build on it; it is only good for wallowing in.–Katherine Mansfield

When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.–Alexander Graham Bell

The 3R’s

    The 3R’s are Reduce, Reuse, And Recycle.

I think these 3 things are great to do. I love going Green and I love learning about the environment and how we can help it. At home we are doing a lot of things to go green. We recycle all the bottles and cans we can. We now have a water filter instead of always drinking bottle water. We turn off lights when they aren’t necessary. We have canvas grocery bags instead of going to the store and always taking the plastic ones. We try to buy things that are good for the environment like my bag i bring to school. I love that bag. And there is always learning to do. The more you learn and listen about it the more we can do.

What Inspires Me

    What inspires me?? Well your about to find out(These are just some of the many things)….

1. Music- It has always inspired me. When I listen things just come to mind. Sometimes bad but mostly the good memories come to mind. The music can make you think of new things and its like a whole other world.

2. People- Certain people inspire me. Seeing what these people have done or are doing. It makes you say well I can do that do. Other people can show you things in yourself you would have never found without them.

3. Light- Might sound a little weird but the light inspires me. When I’m in the light it feels good and makes you think good. Makes you happy and feel like you can pretty much anything. The beach is in the light, the good times are in the light. You can think about this way, you start out in the “light” and end there. Always carry the light with you. Hope that made sense.

If….

    OK, this is my second If post

If you had a chance to be famous would you take it or not?? If you choose to be famous what would you want to be famous for??

I think I would choose to become famous. It would be nice being known for something. I would have a lot of money which is always good right. I would get to help children with that money and also get to do the things I love to do. I would be able to shop and actually buy that Louis Vuitton I want.

So Comment And Tell Me Your Answer

Do You Define A Person By Their Actions Or Their Intentions

    This is a hard thing to answer for me. I don’t know why but for me this is difficult. There is so much to consider. Honestly I don’t have a full answer and honestly I don’t know if I ever will. But despite that this is what I do have….

I think to define a person truly you have to know them. Know what there going through and who they are personally. Intentions go into actions. But if you have a bad action did you have a bad intention. You need to be able to be strong to make the decision if you can do that action. I also think if you have good intentions that can lead to great things. But if you just think something or say it and don’t go through withit then who are you. When I think of this I think of intentions as the dreams and the action as making it come true. But you have to have the dreams first just not be there not caring at all. OK yea I’m going off subject but it’s hard to explain how I view this and truly I’m not sure how. So if I don’t know then how I am supposed to tell you what I think.

I know I’m not answering this question but for now I don’t know what to say. Hearing everyone side and then having to pick mine. People see your actions and may not see what you indented to do. So have the good intentions and do the right actions. By doing this you can choose the answer for yourself.

Great Friends

    Heyy I was tagged by Megan to do a post on my friends and what I think a friend is (I think haha).

I think a friend is someone who you can have a good time with. Someone that you can relate to. My friends are people that I like and think are great. There are different in ways. We do some crazy things and spent time together. Your true friends will always be there for you. They are true in front of your back and behind it. Some people have to learn who their true friends are the hard way and some can have one true friend from the start. You can be who you really are and who you want to be around them. They sometimes know what your thinking by just what your face tells or how you say something.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.–Anaïs Nin

What is a [best] friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies.–Aristotle (had to add the best part in there)

If….

    Ok, I have an idea. I think I’m going to start to write a bunch of post that are called If…. Well let’s see if I can actually keep this going. Here’s my first one.

If you could have dinner with one person who is now dead who would it be?

If you could have dinner with someone still alive who would it be?

I don’t know if you are ever asked that or if you heard that before. Some people ask well if you could meet a famous person who would it be. It’s based on the idea of that. Plus the dinner part (if you want you can say were you would want to have dinner too)

Comment. Would Love To Hear What You Have To Say.

My Favorite Food Concoction

     Ok, Priscila tagged me to do the post on what my favorite food concoction is….

What-French Fries And Pretzels

Why- One day me and my friends were all just sitting at lunch. And well I don’t really remember how we picked those two foods but we did and we put the pretzel and french fries in our mouth at the same time. It tasted like CHICKEN. We were so amazed. We kept eating them until there was nothing more.
