Dash

My dash really consists of my friends and family. Any important events or adventures has happened with either my friends or family. Vacations, Christmas's, weddings or funerals have all happened with people I love. I could go on forever with stories, but only a few have really affected my life. I lost my grandmother to cancer when I was in forth grade and I just lost my aunt in a car accident. These memories have taught me that you never know when someone you love will die. My family has instilled these values in me. I have to live life to the fullest, but still remember the past as I create new memories. I have also had many good experiences that have helped shape my life. I have traveled to Russia and help start a youth philanthropy organization and spoke at the Russian National Convention. I went on this trip with friends. In the end all I have to hold on to is memories. I have a short time on this earth to create them, but memories will always be with family or friends.

What I Think

So far I am not looking forward to reading any type of book in any class. A Gracious Plenty only has 205 pages and the print is realitively big, so it might not be that bad. However the topic is not something that would usually interest me. There are movies like the "sixth sense" or "Ghost" in which there are dead people. I liked those movies, so maybe this book wont be so bad. I really want to do well in this class and in order to do that I will need to read this book, so I better like it either way.
