Spring Break

During our week off of school, I was able to accomplish many of things. The first day of break, I completed all my homework, knowing that on the last day I would not want to even think of school. I completed all three projects; World History, Biology, and Geometry. Although it was hard to motivate myself to do school work after we just got off, I knew it would benefit me the last day of break while all my friends are doing homework, I could enjoy the day. Especially since it was going to be my birthday.

During the week of break that Tuesday, my friends and I left for Seaside, Florida. We had a house where the front was the center of the little town, and the back was to the beach. It was perfect, and I never wanted to leave. Every morning we would wake up and go down to the beach, come back up to the house or to a restaurant in the center for lunch, then back down to the beach until it was dinner. I never wanted to leave the beach especially with the music playing, and reading my book while tanning, I could have stayed there the whole day. The days were so relaxing and filled with fun until the last day was among us. As we packed our bags on that Friday night retreating to wakeup and leave Saturday morning, we were all enjoying and remembering the great time we had.

As we came home Saturday afternoon, I was greeted at my house by my father, brother, and crazy dogs happy for us to be home. Sadly, I had to unpack and put up my clothes, but it didn't matter because tomorrow would be my birthday. Writing this blog today, on my birthday, I am officially a fifteen year old. Yes, I'm behind the others but I will have my friend, Audrey, to drive me during the summer. Overall, this break was amazing and I can't wait for summer.

Respond To Statements

1. Everyone is capable of lying, betrayal, and violence, which are basic parts of human nature. (agree)
Personally I feel as though this statement is half true and half false, which is why I choose agree rather than strongly agree. I believe that the first part of the statement is true, "Everyone is capable of lying, betrayal, and violence,..." Sadly all of this things are bad, everyone is capable of doing it. The other half regarding how they are basic parts of human nature is false to me. Sure they are part of human nature, but I would not consider them the basic parts. I personally feel they are a contribution but the basic parts are the feelings of a person such as happy, and their behavior more than the actions.

2. Ambition is a postivite, desirable trait in a person. (agree)
I feel as though ambition is a desirable trait for myself. With great ambition, you can achieve great things, such as goals you set for yourself. I also feel as though it is a positive trait because depending on what you're trying to reach could be a positive thing. In other people, this trait might not be desirable, but I agree with the statement above.
