Gratitude

     My main topic for my blog entry today was given to my class by our teacher. She said that even though it is a little cliched because it is close to Thanksgiving, she wants us to write about what we are most thankful for. I thought about it for a long time and finally came up with one thing that I am most grateful and thankful for.
     The thing or well people, is my family, including my girlfriend. They are the people I love. If it wasn't for them, I probably wouldn't be in the good place that I'm in today.
     My girlfriend. She is my top priority besides school. She is my best friend, that I tell everything to, and much more. She has shown me the kind of love that I need in my life. Until I met her, I never knew how to share my feelings with anyone. I always kept everything bottled up. But she has taught me that that is not healthy. We both have grown alot more these past few years and it's all because of her.
     My grandmother. She has been there for me ever since I was born. She took care of me when nobody else would. She kept me in school. She taught me what was right and what was wrong. She gave me the love and discipline I needed.
     My mother. She couldn't always be around when I was a child, but did her best to come back and give me all she could. Today she helps me through the tough times and helps me keep my head up. She is my second best friend that I can tell mostly everything to. She always knows what kind of advise to give me because in many ways we are the same.
     And lastly there is my siblings. Even though they are younger than me, they are what kept me going when my mom wasn't around. I was a child having to raise children. But it didn't matter because they told me they loved me constantly. It let me know that I was needed in the world.

School.

Uhh, lets see, today I feel like writing about my feelings toward school. This past week school has been a little hectic. For me, it seems like its getting harder. Hopefully next year, my Senior year, it will be better. The classes I chose to take are Advanced Agriculture, Humanities/Art, Civics, College Prep, Spanish 2, PRECALCULUS, and Film Studies. Most of them, except Precalculus, are not hard like intellectual wise but rather how much work the teachers give us wise. I'm not really sure how I got into Precalculus because I didn't take even Algebra 2. So yeah. And pretty much everyday I have homework and it's usually due the next day. Also, it's not that easy for me to miss school, even though right now I'm sick with a head and chest cold.  I know I'm just complaining but I need to let it out somehow. My classmates probably have these days sometimes.
