Week 4, Day 27: How do Kindergarten Teachers do...
All my life I’ve always had this big brother complex I guess, when it came to kids. If I saw someone younger than me looking sad or alone, I always tried to step up, be there, cheer them up, include them, whatever was in my power to make them happy. It was just something natural, something I think really tore me up inside when I didn’t give into it, and something that made the job I have right...
Week 3, Day 18
Quote of the day:
“Freedom doesn’t mean doing what you want, we do that all the time, even animals do that. The freedom and free will God has given us is the ability to do what is right for another even if it doesn’t benefit ourselves. We can do everything we can to make our lives better, people do it, animals do it, but it takes something a whole lot more to recognize when...
Week 2, Day 13
“Life is a waste of time. Time is a waste of life. So why don’t you waste your time having the time of your life.”

Week 2, Day 13: Letters
Sometimes I wonder if we, as a culture, are getting too lazy. With new technological innovations seeming to come out every single week, we walk a fine line between convince, and laziness. Sometimes I catch myself complaining about how hard it is to do something, like sending a txt, or getting into contact with someone, or looking up a word, when it wasn’t really that long ago...
Week 2, Day 11 (Part II)
I know you’ve probably heard this one before, but bare with me here. So here’s the set up. You’re standing around with your friends in a circle, bouncing like tennis balls from one topic to another, left and right.
“Oh hey you see that movie?”
“Which one?”
“Ya know the one with so-and-so?”
“Oh yeah, I saw it. It was alright I guess, didn’t like it really.”
“How can you not like that, but like...
Week 2, Day 11: When the apocalypse becomes fun...
I was reading an article today about zombie modes in video games and how popular they’d become. With the latest version of it appearing in Call of Duty: Black Ops, zombies have become a pop culture icon. They’ve been featured prominently in movies, video games, literature, and now television. They’ve essentially crossed over to pretty much all forms of media, from art to probably music, and...
Thoughts
People argue over Destiney all the time. “I like to think I’m in control of my own life” they say, “life doesn’t have anything in store for me, but I have plenty in store for it.” I’m not so sure where I stand anymore, not because I think I’m destined for anything, I just think small moments that couldn’t have happened any other way can change someones life in just as big of a way as huge,...
Week 1, Day 8
Trust is a hard thing. Trust in your friends, trust in your family, trust in yourself. I think everyone has problems with one aspect of it all, and a couple of days ago, I was reminded of which part I had my own problems with. I know that sounds so negitive, but from that discussion something amazing happened. I realized something.
A couple of days ago I got a message from someone really...
