Quick Intro
As a sophomore in high school every day brings a new lesson. Some of these lessons are learned by experiences, but some valuable lessons can only be taught by those of higher knowledge. In life everyone who spends times with individual influences them, but there are a few people who educate one far more than the average person. Recently in literature class I have read The Last Lectue by Randy Pausch. In this autobiography, Randy Pausch, a terminal cancer patient, describes his life, and discusses his perspective on personal morals and values. This has made me rethink the way I go through everyday life. The newly acquired outlook has made me more appreciative for the people, and events in my life that have had an impact on my personal wisdom. This is a composition of some individuals, and incidents that have made me who I am today.

It is good that you still had fun even though you didn't get an xbox.
ReplyDeletei agreee on your post "If it's not the truth, it's a lie." i believe no matter what the situation, it's better to tell the truth.
ReplyDeleteBecause this site is annoyingly not allowing me to comment anywhere else, I'm just going to write here.
ReplyDeleteThe story of your dog is especially intriguing. I had a bad incident with my cat last year. She developed a thyroid condition, and wouldn't eat or move, etc. Similarly, I was concerned and expected the worst. She's luckily doing better now, but you have a point in that the unexpected can still occur, and we should be ready for it.
Good job Nathan, I like your story about the pencils!
ReplyDeleteReferring to the "That which costs little is not less valued" post, I once felt the intense and hertbreaking pain you intally felt with not recieving what you were dying for. However, I was not lucky enough to recive an alternative or of course the item itself. Instead, I wallow in sadness each and every day as a result of this heinous injustice.
ReplyDeleteYour post about Father Bleam is very heartfelt. It is so great that you have a good religious leader to look to. I believe that you will only grow in your relationship with God and Father Bleam will help you achieve that.
ReplyDeleteIt is true to say that you cannot always rely on other people.
ReplyDeleteThe post about your dog is so sad. My dog was killed and it was one of the saddest days. Its a terrible feeling losing an animal.
ReplyDeleteI bet next time you want to throw pencils in the ceiling wwjd
ReplyDeleteMy dog got hit by a car.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that your dog died! I guess most humans would just except that the worst is going to happen because then we don't have to worry about picking up the pieces of our hearts, because we are already in that mentality that things are only going to get worst. I am deeply sorry you had to experience that.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about boys and throwing pencils at the ceiling??? At my old school there was this kid Lorenzo who managed to stick a pencil to the cafeteria ceiling... It's still there, even today. :P
ReplyDeletei deffinately know what you mean about wanting that xbox. Did you ever get it?
ReplyDeleteI thinks its great that you have such a caring father. Some of us do not have such a father so even if he is hard on you at least he is there and thinking about you.
ReplyDeleteim really sorry about your dog. i guess people never expect anything will happen to the ones they love, myself included. life goes by so quickly death really isnt the subject everyone is focused on.
ReplyDeleteThe pencil story was very relevant. I tried the same thing in middle school, without being caught, but I can still learn the same thing you did from this story.
