Kelly lived in California she was 17 years old, turning 18 in two weeks. She lived with her mother, father and two brothers. She worked at a clothing store two blocks away from her house. The clothing store was called “Purple Swag.” She loved working there and enjoyed the time spent with the other employees.
This is also her last year of high school and she plans on going to college. The college she had got gotten accepted to was Harvard. She was a good student and a good person at heart.
The book I'm reading is called The statistical probability of love at first sight by Jennifer E. Smith. Beautiful romance novel. You know how you can just meet someone for the first time, exchange words even one to giving them a slight look and know its what your looking for what you want? Well This one girl named Hadley which is only 15 finds herself stuck in an airport since she missed her flight by only 4 minutes.
Well everyone loves a good pal, right? I discover that dogs can actually share emotional feelings with humans. They have this strong connection, and who knew animals can actually have their own independent emotion. Like humans, dogs have feeling that we should care about. Also some of those feelings can be mutual. I believe the emotional needs of humans and dogs are mutual.
I’m not really understanding some of If Beale Street Could Talk, by James Baldwin because some parts of the book confuse me toward the ending of the story. An example of what I mean is on page 207. "He loses a tooth, again, and almost loses an eye. Something hardens in him, something changes forever, his tears freeze in his belly. But he has leaped from the promontory of despair. He is fighting for his life.
I have been interested in figuring out, why is it so hard for people to accept themselves. You can’t say you’re not insecure or have been, because everyone has had a moment in their lives where they can’t accept who they are. Everyone around me talks about the things they dislike about themselves. Rarely do you hear someone complimenting themselves, and if they are, they’re usually considered “conceited.” I think others know that the right thing to do is, try and accept yourself. It’s hard, but it’s something we should push forward for happiness.

I am interested in the topic, “Do You Have to Love Yourself Before Loving Someone else?” because it is a question that I always think about. I heard about this from my yoga instructor; She gives good advice, and this one comment she gave made me interested in this topic. I think that there are a lot of opinions on this topic; Some people may think yes or no, and some people may think yes and no.
Something that I have been interested in learning more about has been if love exists or is it just lust. I am curious in learning about this topic and whether or not it’s true, since in movies and books it makes it seem like it’s real. I know that many people may feel that only lust exists but some people say that love also exists. From what I have heard, many people are in a relationship because of the way the person looks but once you start to know the person very well, it turns into love. Now that’s just what I've heard, it may or may not be true.
Dear Jamee,
How are you doing? I’ve been better. These last couples of months have been hard on me; but you know that. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen you now. Almost a good two and a half years. How’s your baby, Trent? From the picture I’ve seen on Facebook, it looks like he’s getting big!
Anyways. Thank you for that letter you sent me back in December. Your letter on how hard your life has been. It’s such a big weight to know all of your deepest, darkest secrets. A weight; but not a bad weight. It makes me stronger, carrying it all the time. It makes me feel important.
In American Lit we have to write a letter to someone about something we carry. For me, one thing I carry is you. I carry the memories and everything else about you. Your curly black hair, smooth tan skin, and a smile that spread across your face like wild fire. It was so contagious and made everything seem better. I carry the thought of your death I carry the pain of not having you here, not having you around anymore.
In English we're reading a book called The Things They Carried and we have to write a letter to someone about the one thing that we carry that is the heaviest in our lives, physically or mentally. What I chose was my passion for cheer.
Cheer leading is the one thing that makes everything else that i worry about too much, like drama, boys, etc., go away. Cheer is the one thing that clears my mind. All of the yelling, falling, frustration, and pain is only going to make me a stronger athlete and a stronger person.

How do you know when you are in love? I was researching this question online and I found a few articles that caught my attention because their titles were right on the nose. I choose this topic because I love love. I am the type of person who loves to be loved by everyone. I love to give love and be around it. I’m what you would call an “Love Junkie.” A “Love Junkie” is someone who gets high off of love.

"People find true love but, above all happiness." This a memorable quote from the book I’m reading called If Beale Street Could Talk by James Baldwin. As I continue to read the book I find it to be very interesting and I'm having a better understanding of what is going on in this book and learning more about the characters.
Something that I have been interested in learning more about has been the jealousy between kids’ parents marrying someone else who is not their other birth parent. I remember thinking about it when I thought about my friend. She has been depressed lately because she feel as if her dad is starting to care more about her stepmother than he cares for her. Lately, the issue has caught my eye again.
There is this one boy that I had always liked and see myself lasting like two years or more.
I know that’s a lot but I like him for who he's and he makes me smile.
But who doesn’t make me smile. But I always had a crush on him and still do. I like that his smart and funny but there are things that I don’t like, but who am I to change someone NOBODY.
Something that I have been interested in learning more about has been is marriage for everyone. I remember my sister talking about it recently, but we was just watching a reality t.v show called Basketball Wives. Lately, the issue has caught my eye again. I know that many people feel that marriage can be for everyone. But I disagree with that if marriage was for everyone then why do couples file for divorce.
Something that I have been interested in learning more about has been mental/emotional abuse in relationships. I never understood why people strive to hold onto things that don’t even last forever.I remember when I read a post on Youth Voices that described the effects of physical abuse in relationships, but physical abuse is not the only type of abuse that can be apparent within a relationship. Lately, the issue has caught my eye again. I decided to write this post in response to another post entitled: Why do People Stay In Abusive Relationships?
This book was quite lengthy. It has 405 pages, but I enjoyed it very much because the author did a great job of describing the story.
It was about the challenges of two kids and their parents being divorced. They live with their mother until a summer they are sent to live with their father in a small town on the beach.
Ronnie hates her father and has no intention of being living, getting along with, or even talking to him for the summer. But after meeting a guy she falls in love with, Ronnie completely changes and her attitude starts to change towards her family.
In the book “Pretty little bitch girl” By Jackie Collins, the girl name Carolyn is the mistress of Gregory, who is a senator and is married for 20 years with children and is being threaten by Carolyn to leave his wife before she tells everyone about them. Carolyn her self had a boyfriend when she was messing around with Gregory but he up and left her. Now she’s been lonely for the pass 2 months with only Gregory as her back up. Not only is she a home wrecker but was a cheater.
The book The First Part Last is about a teenager getting his girlfriend pregnant. At the beginning of the book Bobby knows that what he did was wrong. He didn’t want to be that kid that had a baby at a young age. Bobby knows that Nia’s future would not be the same with a baby at her side.Their only in the high school and now they have a baby on the way. Nia and Bobby’s wanted to put the baby for adoption. The families were there for Nia and Bobby through everything and were positive about the situation. I think this book is really good and it could be a life lesson to many people.
I’ve been interested in talking about a book that I am reading named Perfect Chemistry,This book talked about the weirdest relationships never a white girl going out with a Mexican boy. Supposedly, Brittany and Alex cannot be together because of their social classes and expectations how people believe who they should be in a relationship with. It’s a very interesting book though, because Brittany family was wealthy and Alex family was poor. They were from two different societies, the people from the north were wealthy while the people from the south were poor.
Something that I have been interested in learning more about has been the divorce between most married couples. I remember my mom talking about it a month ago, but I didn’t pay much mind, because I just didn’t understand why she was giving me this speech. I mean, I’m only 16.
Lately, the issue has caught my eye. I know that most people feel that they get divorced just because they’ve gotten tired of each other. and/or are too young. From what I have heard, All the arguing between them causes them to lose feelings for one other.
Hola everyone, guess what it's my month. When I say that I mean my birthday's coming up, it's the last day of the month & I'm going to be the BIG 18. I'm kind of happy because I'm growing up & I'm grateful to see another year. Some people didn't make it to be 18, so I'm very thankful. I'm kind of upset because my parents are going to stop treating me like their baby, so no more " Mommy or daddy can you buy me this :( . I guess its my time to be independent. Hopefully it works out good.
Something that I have been interested in learning more about has been the meaning of relationship. I remember my cousin talking about it when I was younger, but I didn’t learn about it because I was to young to understand. At that time in my life I was busy running around and make friends. I didn’t really care about relationship. Lately, the issue has caught my eye again. I’m a little older so I can full understand relationships. I know that many people feel that having relationship is very important. From what I heard there are relationships that it can last for days, months or years.
