In this world there is a lot of suffering. Every day something happens to at least one person that is a from of suffering and people just go on about there day acting like nothing is happing that they need to worry about. That is all wrong there are some very famous people that went through a lot of suffering and that we remember and think about everyday. There are even school that make there students read a book that describes all the bad thing that happen to people. As u might already no this is a very intriguing subject to think about. So I am going to tell you a little about what I think matters.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it?. This literal and realistic statement said by one who has known suffering and has dealt with it. Helen Keller experienced a traumatic time as a child; being deaf and blind, she knew suffering but also knew that it is possible for it to be conquered and forgot. She suffered in this way as a child and her adult life was a good one because of this suffering. The most important element in any child’s life is to learn and grow. Does experiencing anguish and misery enable a child to flourish, consequently becoming a nurtured adult?
 

            Another person that went though a lot of suffering was ANNE FRANK. She was a child that didn’t survive the holocaust. But the thing that everyone knows about here is that she wrote a dairy telling of all the things that went on during this dreadful time. I have only read 20 pages but it is still interesting how she acts as a kid. First off she says that she has no friend but she really does just none that want to talk about what she wants to talk about. Also that she is a person that just wants to be love for what she is not just all the things that she does. like her sister for example her dad loves her and not Anne as much because of all the things that her sister does better then Anne . Like that her sister looks better then Anne and that she wants everything to be perfect and it always is. Those are the things that I think that Anne is suffering from.

            So as you can see all of thing make people suffer and some overcome and some fall to there death. also that even if you don’t overcome u can still go down in the history books for the things that you did to try to overcome your suffering . That is what I think the true meaning of suffering that even if you try to not suffer and it doesn’t work at least you tried.

VERTERANS

 “WE HIT HE BEACH IN TEN SECONDS” YEILD ONE OF THE CAPTINS ON ONE OF THE BOATS THAT STORMED THE BEACHES OF NORMANDY. DO you know how many people died that day.  150,000 troops stormed Normandy beaches. About 2,500 GI’s died on the beaches and 2,600 paratroopers died. And 3,100 Germans died. that made so many different sacrifices for our country to be free and have all these things like TV, call phones, rap music , and sports, all that wouldn’t be possible if we weren’t free so this is the reason that I think that we need to have more then one day a year to thank our veterans.

       First off they have to leave there loved one for what my seem like a short period of time but it really is a long time. They have to leave there moms, dads, sister, brothers, and other people that are a part of the family that care about there safety and really do love them. Not only that but there girlfriend or boyfriend. I bet that you would never on how that fells unless you join the army and are sent off to Iraq. SO when the soldiers are one leave if they get one they go home and tell every one that loves them that they miss and love them. Having a cousin in the army when he comes home everyone cries and gives hugs and kisses and makes sure that he nose that we love and miss him every day that he is gone. You have to understand that they don’t have to go to the army but they choose to leave there family and friends to serve there country and support all the good things that come in life.

    Another sacrifices that the give is that they give up many years of there life. They could join the army at age 18 and not come back until they area at least 25 because they might have to have two tours not only one. Also if they didn’t decide to go to the army they could get married and have kids and have a career and make money and not have to worry about if they are going to get shoot if they turn the corner to fast or if there group has his back while he runs across a road that has heavy fire on it. If you add all of it up they spent a lot of there life in the army and all they things that they see could effect there life to so there are a lot of thing s that it does to them.

       “MAN DOWN MAN DOWN” a soldier screams ” we need a medic quick hurry up give him some pain reliever.”

        The next thing that you now is that the soldier is died. The medic feels bad even though he tried to save him he knows that he had a family that wanted him to come home and be safe and be in there arms . The point is that I doesn’t only take up a lot of time  of a persons life it  can take a persons life that means that  they don’t even go home no matter how long his tour was never. you know how long that is. Its to long for some people. So that something that a soldier needs to now is that going into the army he could died and not go home.  there has already been many deaths in  Iraq. Six hundred and ten America soldiers have died in Iraq so far. The daily toll of American casualties increased by 10 on Sunday in the worst violence seen in Iraq after Saddam Hussein was overthrown last April. Incited by the arrest of one of Shia extremist cleric Muqtada al-Sadr’s deputies, his ‘Mahdi Army’ militia went on the rampage in Amarah, Baghdad, Najaf and Nasiriyah. When a semblance of calm returned to the streets, eight American soldiers were dead. Two other American troops died in an unrelated incident in Anbar. That is a lot of thing that has happened in Iraq. A lot of sad people that get letters that say that there son or daughter has died in action.

   The whole point that I was trying to get across was that we need to make sure that are troops know that we re supporting them and care about them weather we support the war or not. And that they made it so that we could do a lot of different thing so in my life that makes me happy and willing t support them NO MATTER WHAT.

    Swish. Swoop. Dunk. My uncle david drains another three without even looking. After we shoot a little more head back to my house. My uncle david is the coolest person i now. He is the funniest chillest and coolest person that i now. But there is one time that i spent with him that i remeber the best. The day that he took me fishing.

        It was a cool summer day and my mom and dad had to work so they called up my uncle david to baby sit me. So around 10 or 11 my uncle got thereand we spent some time doing nothin lik sitting and watching tv. Then he finally said

“This is boring do you want to go fishing.” he sai din the happiest of all voice.I nodded my head. After that i started to think i dont now how to fish what am i going to do. So we left the house and went to the bait store down by taco bell. The bait that my uncle got was the nastiest thing that i had ever saw in my life. They were live worms that would bit you if they were on your hand for to long. SO i picked one up and i didnt now that it was going to bit me and it took a fat chunk of tissue off of my middle finger.After i got all patched up we headed down to the pier.

            Finally we got to the fun part of the trip the fishing part. But before we had time to fish my ucle had to teaach me how to cast and reel and stuff like that. I got all of down on the first try except for the casting part. So  the first time that i tried to cast i held the line back put my arms back like  it was a soccer throw in and let go. I threw the pole in to the water. Right when that happened i started laughing and so did my uncle. So me and my uncle went down to the bottom of the pier to try and get it.But it wasnt there so my uncle said

“You no that was an expencive pole.” he said

i told him

“Im sorry i didnt mean to. ” i said with a sof voice. In one quick movement my uncle picked me up off the dock and threw me into the water all he said was

” Ok now you dont have to pay me back ” So i got out of the water and dried off. Then my uncle said that we had to  go back to the house because my mom was going to be home soon.

                          So we went home and we told my mom of our adventure and all she said was ok your not goin to babysit any more. We both knew that she was kiddin but he said ok anyways. So we all said our goodbyes ad=nd my uncle left So that was the end of the best time i had with my uncle.

SDC. I love sdc. What you don’t know what sdc is. Well that stands for summer drama camp. I love this place so much. It is way up in the red woods. I can smell it now that fresh smell that makes you  tingle when you wake up. Also the taste of all the different foods that we ate. Sdc is a place were you can be yourself and no one will judge you for who you are. At this camp you have no guide lines there are no places that you have to go and nothing that you have to do. This is the place that i go every summer.

When i went to sdc the first year i met so many new friends and i saw some old ones that i had known from school. I had one of the best counselors his name was grilled cheese. Oh that’s another thing that they do there. They give all of the people that work there crazy nick names like surf, coffee, Elmo. pinkie , and jello. One of the funniest parts was when all the cabins got to dress up a boy consular up like a girl. You could use almost any thing . Like dresses and thongs and bra`s. We had Elmo. Man we got him good. We did the craziest things to him it was funny.

                 Next is this thing that happens every night. We all call it camp fire . It is the thing that you do before you go to bed. At campfire you would  got to watch the consulars do funny skits and people from the camp pro form. And on one night they would let  you pick if you want to go on the night hike or make smores. Another thing that was fun was the theme days. On theme days you would get to dress up and do different things. Like one of mu theme days was the hoedown day. So you would get dress up like a cowboy  and all that good stuff during the day . Then at night after dinner there was a thing called the real hoedown . During this you got to do three different dances and they were all fun. The other theme day that i had was carnival day that was when you got to dress up like a clown or another crazy thing that was at the carnival. During lunch they would judge the people that dressed up and the winner got something. Then at night there was a real carnival there in the main lodge. There was the coolest thing there there was fire throwers there . They would throw it and do different things with it and it was just the coolest thing that i had ever seen.

               Lastly there was a little thing the camp did at camp fire the day before we all had to leave the camp. It was called the candle lighting. At this there was a ceremony for every one and there was a lot of crying. This was one of the most  emotional things that i had ever bein to. I think that there is a lot of crying there because all the people form a sense of security and pretty much are one big family that all cares a lot about each other and the people that work there.

             So as you see this is one of the most fun emotional exciting places that i have ever bein to . I definitely recommend this place to any one that wants to have fun wants to be excepted for who ever that they are and who ever wants to make there second family or maybe EVER THERE FIRST.

   It was a cold saturday morning.They had just cut the grass on the feild and put new paitn on the feild. I had all my gearand the stands started to get full. Are football team had just weighed in and we were out there streching and getting ready for what was ahead of us.

              after they called out all of the names the coins toss happened we got to recieve the football. W e had the ball the whole quater untill we got held on 4th down. The other tema eneded up getting the ball. Are starting defence was in and they were all fired up and ready to knock somones head off !! Are deffence did what they needed to and held them to only get 7 yards and no first downs. That was the end of the first quater so its now the second quater and we have the ball at the 50. We march down field all the way to the twenty then coach tells are quater back that we are goin to pass the football to me. Right when i heard my name in the pass call  know that i was goin to drop it and i wasnt goin to get to play anymore that game. So we all go to the line o scrimmage and the quaterback said hike s i started off down field. All i remeber seeing is the quaterbacks eye look at me in the back of the endzone.

      He cocks his arm back and lets go. i got in front of the  defeder jumped up to get the ball . And .And And. i did what i said i would i dropped it i was so mad that i didnt even want to play any more.But my coach had fathe in me so he called the same play again.So we did the same thing again .The quater back dropped back. And let the ball go my way again.I burned the corner and saw the ball coming . I realized that the ball was over thrown so i ran faster. once i got to the endzone the ball was almost there.so i got ready to dive for it  because i didnt think that i could reach it .I jumped back as high as i could and the ball hit my hands. But this time i caught it.

          I look over to the reffery.He holds up the sisng tha means touchdown. I got up off the ground and just started to look for the Quarterback.On the way to him i got a whole bunch of high fives and hits on the head. When i finally go to the quater back i hit my chest and he knew what i ment. So we run at each other and jumped up to give eacvh other a belly bump.After that it was half time . All the things coach said was good nothing bad about how we were playin. So we finish off the game . They only scored one tme on are defence. And we scored 3 time on theres. So that means tha we won the game 21 to 7. After the game i got a whole load of “good catch” and “great game”. the next day my dad walked up to me and said do u want to see the closet thing >so he showed me .  My name was in the newspaper from the catch and three was a pcture of it it made me so happy i didnt no what to say. So thats how i scored the first time in all of my 5 years of football.

It was the 14^th hour of my great adventure and is just about to get the thing that I have wanted for the longest time.  Its. Its .Its the Xbox 360.ihave had my Xbox for About 2 years now and its still in good shape.

 I remember the first time that I opened it and plugged it in.Rightn I saw the green power light go on I turned around stood up and screamed I love this thing. After that day treated it like it was my baby. I played it every day for almost a year .but now I only play it on Sundays and after football practice.

 I mostly play it online line .I play the games call of duty and halo 3. All of my friend play online with me. I lost most of my games but I still have some.

 I still remember the night that I waited 16 hours in line to get my Xbox 360. My favorite thing. My baby. My Xbox 360.
