Week 2: Last words

It’s kind of sad to think that my sophomore year is coming to an end, but at the same time I’m so relieved that it’s almost over. I honestly don’t think I could sum up this year in just a few words, because so many things have happened. I’ve been through some trials and tribulations; I’ve found ways to deal with them. Also I’ve found out how much stuff I can really handle, when it comes to homework, work, and stress. Everything seemed to work out in the best ways, and I’ve found my own ways to deal with problems, and handle things when they get rough. I think everyone has been through things this year, no matter if it was having a hard time with school work, test, or even just personal problems. Everyone eventually finds ways to deals with their problems, and no matter what anyone says, we all go through a tough time every now and then, it’s just a part of life. This year I’ve come to learn who my true friends are, who I can really trust with my secrets, and who will be loyal to me no matter what the case is. While learning who is really there for me in the end is actually pretty hurtful, but I know God created things to happen in my life the way they did for a reason. It made me stronger and I feel like I’ve learned some lessons, so I’ll never make those same mistakes again. Even though this year hasn’t been the best, I’ll miss all my teachers, and some of my “friends”, but now it’s time to move on to my junior year! 

Week 1: One-word essay

The word I choose for my “essay” is forever. The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of the word forever is family. Family is forever, your family members will always be there for you, unlike some people in your life. You can’t choose your family, you just have to learn to love all their flaws and except them for who they are, as they would do for you. Family should always be over everything, because they will truly be the only ones there for you in the end. The saying “blood is thicker than water” applies here. The people in your family will be here when all else fails, and when everyone runs out of your life when you have a little problem that you need help with. You can always turn to family, because no matter what you’re going through you can’t put differences aside and deal with whatever has caused you problems. Also your family would be the ones to do anything for you, even if it was something crazy, if they knew it meant a lot to you they’d help you out, that’s just what families do, that’s what they’re here for. Thinking about all of this just makes me realize how thankful I am for having such a loving, caring, and excepting family. I appreciate everything that has been done for me through them, and I would hope they feel the same about me. No one can compare to my family and I would never think to replace them, no matter how crazy they get!
