A New Year

Last year was the year of Boredom. I hadn't done much, just simply sit around in silence.
This year will be the year of improvement for me. No more sitting sad and alone all day every day for me. Going outside more, participating in group activities, and socializing are a few of my goals for now. The entirety of this year for me will be aimed towards improving as much about me as possible.
Ways I will try to improve are by exercising more, getting out of the house more, and socializing with others more often.
My favorite part of last year was probably the holidays. I didn't go on any vacations or anything else with my family. Being with my family for October, November, and December with the festive spirit for the according holidays of each month put a smile on my face.
my most successful story of last year was never told. I have no stories of last year to tell besides the holidays and time spent with my family.
If I could celebrate new years anywhere on earth I would definitely go to either the north or south pole where I could celebrate the holiday 24 times. For example, I could stand in one time zone for an hour and wait for new years, then move to the next time zone and celebrate it there.
Five words to describe last year would be, boring, meaningless, empty, void, and uneventful. These words mean very little yet so much at the same time. They say that nothing happened, which nothing did, but also inspire me to try better this year to do better.
My three goals for this year are: to stay on focus with my grades, get into better shape, and go to at least one new place. My outline for these are pretty simple, being to pretty much just focus and do more. I've already been discussing places we could go this year.

    How sad that you felt your life last year was boring, meaningless, empty, void, and uneventful. You're right...you did sit around in silence last year. I hope that you feel better about this year, so far. Socializing is a good start. Do you feel as if you have some friends to do things with? Your answers are insightful and thoughtful.

Swimming

Image
I jump in, h eadfirst into the water. As I dive in my body is engulfed in cold water starting with my head all the way to my toes. Wishing I was in more open water, I open my eyes and swim along the floor of the pool. When my breath runs out, I push against the floor and arise for air in a large splash.    I think I’m so passionate about swimming for many reasons, but one of the most important ones to me must be that I don’t need anyone else. Usually, I don’t like to talk about my passions around others. Usually Because of my dislike of being watched, I usually take part in fun actives when nobody is watching or around. Although I tend to seek solitude, sometimes I enjoy having the company of others, such as my siblings to have contests such as largest splash when diving. I learned to swim at around the age of four but quickly forgot, seeing as how it terrified me.   Another thing I find great about swimming is that It’s something I could do for hours. I...

Veterans Day Essay

Image
Veterans have put their lives at risk so we can sleep at night knowing we’re safe. They must leave our country and fight for our freedom. Not only do they risk their lives but might have to take another person’s life. Therefore, we should honor veterans every day, and not just veteran's day. Many veterans also face poverty due to one or more of several reasons. The number is only rising as more veterans return. Over half of homeless veterans have been diagnosed with mental disorders. Veterans should be honored every day for the struggles they went through during service, and upon returning home for many. Greg Blackburn, a veteran of the Vietnam war, told my class and I, “when you are in the service, it is for one reason: so, mother, father, brother and sister can sleep at night.” What he was saying made me think about how selfless veterans are. They put their lives aside for the greater good of our country. “I don’t see myself as a hero, those on the wall are,” another qu...
