Thanksgiving

  Thanksgiving is actually one of my favorite holidays, because we always get to eat a lot of food at my grandma's house.  I think that this year my grandma is going to make me a pumpkin roll for Thanksgiving, and we will probably have pumpkin pie as well. We usually have stuffing, turkey, and sometimes ham.  We usually go to my Grandma Carol's house on Thanksgiving and my Grandma Beardmore's on the Saturday after.  To me, Thanksgiving is a time to remember how you have been blessed in your life and be thankful for what you have been blessed with.  It is also a time to thank people who have influenced you in a good way for being that good influence in your life.  Also, on my dad's side of the family our Thanksgiving tradition is to watch the OSU vs. U of M football game, which is kind of crazy because half of his side likes Ohio, while the ones from Ann Arbor area root for Michigan.  At my Grandma Carol's house, we have a more traditional Thanksgiving tradition, which is that we each share something we are thankful for before we eat.  After we eat at either place, I am always full and just want to take a nap, because of the turkey (and everything else too).  Happy Thanksgiving!

   The piece of new technology I would love to have would probably be either the Iphone 6 or a new chevy car with built in 4G LTE WiFi so I could have WiFi anywhere even in the car.  (I would not use it while driving, but probably if one of my parents was) I would like to have these things so that I could look up anything anywhere I want to and play games anywhere I want to.  However, I do already have an Ipad Mini which is nice, but if I had an Iphone 6 I could take it everywhere with me and use it whenever.  The Iphone 6 would make my life better because I would always have the ability to look up something where ever I may be.  I could also be able to start to use the app Snapchat more often as well as take more pictures and text people.  I would probably use the Iphone 6 for both fun and educational purposes, it seems like a great piece of new technology and a very useful one at that. I could even watch NASCAR right in the palm of my hand!

    Let's see now, I would say a dull evening in my opinion would be when I have nothing I want or need to do and there is nothing good to watch on TV.  I don't usually have many "dull" evenings, even though I think they are kind of dull, because I usually have a decent amount of school work or studying I could be doing. This is mostly during the school year during the week, not so much on the weekend. Also, in certain circumstances this can get in the way of me doing anything fun, because I care so much about school. Which is sometimes rather sad, however I do do some things that are fun once in awhile when I don't have lots of work to do.  I mostly do that sort of thing in the summer.  I have a lot less "dull" evenings during the summer that's for sure!  Especially on vacation!

 I think that honesty is a very important thing to have in your life.  It helps people to feel that you are trustworthy and reliable.   Isn't that something you would always want?  I try to be honest most of the time except when I think I did something really bad that I may get in trouble for.   However, that sometimes results in me being in more trouble.  All in all I am a very honest person, but sometimes I just don't say anything.  Sometimes you can lie a little if  it doesn't hurt anyone with your lie.  For example, if you are being hurt by someone you could tell a lie to get yourself out of the situation/harm.  I really try not to lie to anyone though unless the previous situation occurs.  Honesty is very important!!!!

   I am not going trick or treating this year and probably not again until I am married and have kids. I have never really been a fan of Halloween, especially since I only went trick or treating once as a little kid.  I think that a person is to old for trick or treating when they can barely find a costume their size at the costume store.   I also think people who go trick or treating as adults by themselves are crazy and should save the candy for the kids.  So, therefore what i'm trying to say is that if you are not a little kid don't go trick or treating.  I do kind of like certain Halloween parties like the one The Centre holds every year, because they always show a movie at it.  I don't really participate in Halloween much anymore, because honestly I think it is kind of pointless in some aspects and it is just not my thing.  However, my favorite costume I wore in elementary school was likely when I dressed up as Clifford The Big Red Dog.  My favorite kinds of candy are Kit-Kats and Hershey's chocolate bars.  I personally don't really like to carve pumpkins, but my little sister does. Actually, my dad and sister carved one this last Sunday.

 I am actually going to write about a couple things that I have done over the last few days.  Last Thursday, I got to go to the high school gym for Legacy day, which was really fun for the most part.  However a period of it just before lunch was really sad and emotional.  This was the line crossing exercise.  Also, at the very end we had to write down what we wanted our legacies to be in our school and compiled them all into a book. It was a great day and I had a great time all in all.  Great job to all peer mentors!  Also, on Sunday after church I went to my grandpa's apartment in Adrian to visit him and help him sort through his huge colection of CD's. He let me pick out a shoe box full of CD's I would listen to.  I chose some Michael Bubl'e, Darius Rucker, and various other artists and kinds of music.  I drove to church with my family and drove home and even to my grandpa's apartment.  On Saturday I also rearranged my bedroom a little, just because I wanted a change.  Finally, even though I did not watch the NASCAR race on Sunday (@Talledega), I will report to you that Brad Keselowski won the race yet again.  What is this like his 6th win this season?   Now that is alot!
Good job!

Hello Blog Readers,

 I actually had a pretty good time at the pep assembly on friday. I really liked playing the mini game called Ships and Sailors it was really fun and I liked it more than the game we played last year as sophomores.  I also liked watching the tug-of-war and thought the cheerleaders did a good job with their dance routines.  Later, on friday night my mom, sister, dad, and I went to the school for the taco dinner and then we went to the football game.  I thought I might have to work the concession stand for golf, but then I decided not to and just went to watch the game.  I also went over to the student section for the first time at half-time to stand, and I found out just how loud we are!  I also stayed for the dance.  The dance was fun, however I wish they would play a little more variety of music. Also, we always have the same dj for the homecoming dances.  I think we should try someone else for a change. In my opinion the best part was the game, because we are finally a winning football team again.  I would probably say the worst part was the fact that they played only 3 or so songs at the dance that I have heard before.  I was a little disappointed.  At the pep assembly I definitely participated. I loved the ships and sailors game it is my favorite one thus far.  If I could add anything to the pep assembly, I would like to see more of the women teachers sing like Mr. Hewitt and Mr. Disbrow did a couple years ago.  That would be fun!  I thought the shirtless dudes were funny and entertaining as well as the dancing teachers. All in all I had a pretty great homecoming friday.
