#OneWord2018

By Anonymous -
“Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it’s less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you’ve lost or you can accept that and try to put something together that’s good”. This is the one word I chose for 2018, which is resilience. This is a word that I feel can motivate and help me accomplish most of my goals in this new happy year. It represents and describes everything I need in order to achieve the goals I have. I chose this word because throughout the most rough times I will have this year, I want something that I could just think of to motivate me and make me grow stronger as a person. The three main aspects of my life I would really want to use this word for is my family, sports and school aspects. This year if any negative thing were to occur in my family, I would just try to be strong and try to make my word motivate me to its fullest ability. I’m going to stay resilient through anything I go through this year. I’m not going to give up on my basketball game. I’m going to keep on practicing until I get to the point where I feel I have succeeded to my best ability. In school I want to just keep going and moving forward to bigger and better things, even through rough times. If I don’t feel well, if I don’t feel like I am in the mood for it, I will not accept it as an excuse. Living my word will change my life a whole lot. It will make me be much more productive in the things I really want accomplish to make my family and I really proud. This year is the year that one word changes me as a person.

Outsiders Going Beyond the Book: Making Connections

By Anonymous -
Reading the article, Herd Behavior made me come upon these connections to the book our class recently finished reading, The Outsiders. It made me realize not only how similar the main character Ponyboy was, but the whole Greasers group. Adding onto that, it also made me realize that both the article and The Outsiders book brought some insight to the same theme. That theme was that everybody would follow the group's behaviors. They wouldn't just focus on them, if it involved one of their group members it would involve everyone else part of the group. The article Herd Behavior states, “All of the animals band closely together in a group and, in panic mode, move together as a unit. It is very unusual for a member of the herd to stray from the movement of the unit.” (Paragraph 1)  Throughout the story, no matter what happened, the Greasers always stayed together through everything. All the rough times they went through, they fought those times and got passed them. And all those g

Don’t Doubt Me

“The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.” - Anonymous. This quote basically means that you shouldn’t ever let people doubt you because you’re always going to be able to do it and prove them wrong. I feel like this quote defines me in a way because whenever I get doubted in something that someone thinks I can’t do, I always try to preserve and accomplish it and prove them wrong.

Somebody Up There Hates You

“Everybody dies, dudes and dudettes.” This is a quote that was mentioned by Hollis Seamon in the teen fiction book she wrote, Somebody Up There Hates You. This quote really connects to mostly the whole moral of the story. We all one day are not going to be here, and it just makes you realize that everyday of your life should be lived to the fullest because you never know when it’s going to be the last day for you. Now let me ask you this... If you knew you were on the path of dying really soon, what would you decide to do before it would all be over for you? If you don’t know the answer to this, this is what a fifteen year old boy named Richard “Richie” Casey did. Lived life. Those were the two words Richard lived up to. He’s living in a hospice in upstate New York. This is because he was diagnosed with terminal cancer or Somebody Up There Hates You Sydrome (SUTHY), as he calls it. They told him that his way to passing away was coming soon. As he started being in the hospice for more
