Something that bothers me...

It bothers me when people don't try in school. They just give up and take the easy way out. I do my homework, I study for tests, and I try my best. I have goals and I know everyone does, so why don't they show it? I have no idea! They have just decided to not even care. I know some people who give the excuse that they can't afford college. Anyone can afford college! You can get a job, get a loan, and if you try hard in school you can get a scholarship! It's a lot of money, but it can be done. So every time I think of taking the easy way out of my homework assignment, I just think of that and how I don't want to end up like those people who don't care and never try.

Christmas

I havn't posted in forever it seems like! So it seemed fitting to post something about Christmas because...well it just happened! I'm not going to talk about what I got, or what my friends got, or what I wish I got. I'm going to talk about the people who didn't get anything. There are kids in other countries and in my country (the USA) that don't get to have what we do. Some of them don't even get anything to eat on Christmas. I've done 'shoe-box' charities before and always makes me feel really good. I love the feeling of knowing that you are helping someone else. So next Christmas, on your next birthday, or even today, think about all of those kids who don't get what you get. Not just presents, but all of the daily things we take for granite. Then do something about it. Sign up for one of those 'sponser a child' programs or make a shoe box full of supplies other children need. That one little thing you do could change a childs life forever.
