My grandpa

Every since I was little I have been inspired by my grandpa.  My grandpa passed away 4 years ago but he still remains in my heart.    My grandfather was an accountant and f you don't know what that is he basically just handled people's taxes.  He wasn't just an accountant he was also the town treasurer of Hartland.  But the real reason he inspires me is because he was always giving when he did people's taxes he did them half off.  Money was never a first option he was always about family he even babysat me one time.  I had plenty of good time with my grandpa that I always will remember but the sad part is that we won't be able to have anymore good times. 

Cancer is a deadly thing that can infect someone at any time.  My family was heart broken by this disease. I have had many people die from cancer in my family that I barely feel any pain anymore.  I have been through so much that it has made me tougher and now it is even harder to open up to people because I am afraid I will get heartbroken.   Sometimes I can't help but wonder why god did this to my family.  Did I do something to deserve this?  You can never know what will happen in this world.

Personal Metaphor

 Authors Note:  This is a personal metaphor of my life that took some time because I had to actually stop and think about what was going on in my life.

I am a volleyball player ready to set the ball for the spike.

I am a book sitting on the dusty shelf waiting to be read.

 I am a star waiting to be born.

I am a daughter waiting to be loved.

Narnia Essay

In the book Prince Caspian by C.S Lewis there was a certain amount of bravery that no one can encounter.  Prince Caspian was very confused when he found out that we was going to be king of Narnia.  He thought of himself as unworthy as his uncle because of the way he had treated some of the animals.  Just because you think yourself unworthy doesn't mean you aren't worthy.

  

 To be king you need to be a son of Adam or a daughter of Eve.  Although Caspian was not a son of Adam he still had the heart and potential to be king of Narnia.  Narnia was a place to be full of animals and trees that is why Aslan was always there in the mist awaiting his return.  Aslan was a magical and brave lion he had many words of wisdom that always were helpful.  For example Aslan spoke " Once the feet are put right, the rest will follow."  This quote means that if you guide a person a little they will eventually know the right way.   But the reason Aslan chose Caspian to be king was because Caspian thought he was not ready which meant that he was ready to be king.  Aslan wasn't the only one that was brave.

Caspian was very brave because he wanted to fight his own uncle even if it meant dying and never having the old Narnia restored.    Having the courage and support Caspian had was the best feeling you could ever feel.  When Caspian was little he was treated like dirt by his uncle Miraz.  But now since Caspian is older and has met the old Narnians he feels accepted.  A few times in my life I felt like I didn't belong, sometimes I feel like the only reason I have friends is because I play sports.  I can't help just picture myself as if I never did sports.  I know now that I would be supported if I was to quit sports.  Caspian I am sure felt exactly as I did. 

Courage and Bravery are a key thing to having a successful life.  But sometimes the only thing you need is to trust and believe.  Caspian put on a great example of trust and belief because he had heard the stories of the olden days.  He wanted Narnia to be like the old times.  So next time if someone tells you there is a secret world in a wardrobe believe them!

Childhood Memory

About two years ago my sister and I went to Florida with my Grandpa and Grandma.  My grandpa has a condo down in Cape Cod so we will get to go to Florida a lot.  While we were in Florida we went to the NASCAR  race track known as the Daytona 500.  They gave tours out so we got to see and go physically on the race track.  It just so happened that when we were at the Daytona 500 a guy won it from Wisconsin that year.  Going to see the race track was probably one of my favorite thing we did.

Not only did we go to the race track we went to the beach every single day.  My grandparents condo is literally right on the beach so we just walked there everyday.   We packed sandwiches and sodas and just played in the water the whole day.  Everyone has to get burnt in Florida even if it is your shoulders; well I got burnt on my head it was right where I part my hair.  The reason I got my burn was because of the sun and because that day my sister braided my hair so my part was out in the open.  Even though my head got burnt I am still looking forward to going to Florida this summer.

Dells

Adrenaline was running through my veins excitement was bouncing through my head.  Every year my basketball team goes to a tournament in the dells.  But I was especially excited because we were going to the Wilderness.  The wilderness has three water parks the biggest ride is called the Hurricane.  The funny thing is that this ride is in Wisconsin and we don’t have hurricanes in Wisconsin.   My friends and I only went to two of the water parks because the third one was ten minutes away.  I basically only got to go in the water park in Friday because we had basketball games on Saturday and Sunday we ended up in the championship playing the other Pewaukee team.  I had a blast at the dells and I can't wait to go back up there next year.

Essay on Stolen Day

In the book Stolen Day by Sherwood Anderson a little boy thought he had a disease called Inflammatory Rheumatism.   Many Imagine what would happen to there lives if they had a disease.  You never know what it is like until you have lived the life yourself.  When you have a disease the pain never goes away, it feels like a clock always going around Tick Tock Tick Tock.  Time is such a precious thing you can never know what will happen next.

 

Time was not on our side when my dad was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.  A few years ago my dad fell at work and hurt his back.  He slipped on ice a broke a bone in his back; the doctor said he would be needing surgery.  I will always remember that day when my dad limped into the hospital just before his surgery. That day I told my dad to say one of his famous sayings and then I would know he would be alright. The surgery that my dad had, had triggered his MS. My life is very complicated and know I know that life is not meant to be taken advantage.

 MS is about as funny as watching paint dry.  But yet when the kid in the story thought he had Inflammatory Rheumatism his family just laughed.  I think the main reason the main character thought he had the disease was because the day before he had been racing his brother Irve and he pulled a muscle.  The mother had gone about the situation the wrong way she should have taken a look at his leg or examined him before making any conclusions.  School is a hard thing to deal but you should never fake an illness because you could get someone seriously concerned for your health. 

In order to be rewarded in life, you have to face the hard times. People don’t realize that hard work pays off with great rewards. But the option of laziness gets in the way of the determined thinking. You have to decide whether you are going to be a hard worker with a good determination or a couch potato with no hope.   If you fake a disease and skip school then you will end up being a couch potato.
