Time

Time seems to go by slow, but when you actually look closely time goes by so fast....and then you ask yourself where has the time gone? I feel that way all the time especially now. We have two weeks of school left and that seems like forever! But when I actually think about it and all the projects I have to have done by then it now seems like I have no time at all!! Some of the things that happen in History doesn't seem that long ago but in reality it really was a long time ago for example: the civil rights movement in the 60's or what happened on Sept.11, 2011- which is now 11 years ago. I have never understood the daylight savings thing and why we have to switch our clocks twice a year, to me it just messes up my sleep timing.
Time is an equal opportunity employer.  Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day.  Rich people can't buy more hours.  Scientists can't invent new minutes.  And you can't save time to spend it on another day.  Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving.  No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow.  ~Denis Waitely

History

History is a a continuous, systematic narrative of past events as relating to a particular people, country, period, person, etc., usually written as a chronological account. History is so important to know and yet people do not think highly of it. I am not just saying this because I am a History major. It has always been my favorite subject in school because it was so interesting, and mainly the United States history and how we came to be. What great men the founding fathers are and yet in their day they were just ordinary people...how amazing is that?! How great is it for us to know what has happened in our great country, and alot of people take it for granted. I understand that parts of history is boring but if you look at where we started with the pilgrims to where we are today its just amazing!

Pets

Pets are our best friends. We take care of them and love them like they are our own family. I love my pets, they are very important in my life. My dog Nana is very special and I don't know what I'd do without her. I have never had someone/something love me as much as she does...its unconditional. Its me and my brother were very young we have always have pets and I think I always will. Being an animal lover is a big part of me and who I am. Pets are important for kids to grow up with because it make them not scared of animals and plus it teaches them responsibility. I had a real special dog when I was younger and I will never forget her. She got me through my parent's divorce, and my brother getting hurt and almost dying. And when we had to put her down a couple years ago it was the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. What are your stories of your pet/s?

Pride

Pride- the correct level of respect for the importance and value of your personal character, life, efforts, or achievements. Each and everyone of us should be proud of ourselves and the lives we lead and what we have done in those lives. I go to K-State and even though its not the best school in the world or best at sports...to me its the best. I am so proud of my school and I am a huge fan because of it. I went into my old job not to long ago and a few of the girls were giving me a hard time for being all dressed in K-State: hat, shirt, necklace, and even purple shoes. What I am doing at this school I am proud of why wouldn't I want to show that off? I think that everyone has the right and privilege to show off what makes them proud about themselves no matter what other think. And congrats to you for what you have done and will do that makes you proud!
