Songs

We all have songs that mean something to us so here are a few that either describe me or mean something to me.  If you would like to listen to any of the songs just click on the link which is the name of the song.

1) Stronger - Hillsong Worship

This song is on of my favorite Christian songs.  I choose a Christian song because my faith is very important to me and church and my religion is a big part of me.

2) Silence - Marshmello ft. Khalid

I chose this song because I personally struggle with stepping out of my comfort zone, mostly speaking up about something.  This song shows me that I have to speak up and step out of my comfort zone.

3) Mirror - Lil Wayne ft. Bruno Mars

I feel like Mirror is a very powerful song with a lot meaning behind it. This song really shows how you are the only one that knows what you're hiding or what you are feeling on the inside, no matter how much you say that others understand just by looking at you.

4) Human - Christina Perri

This song I feel like everyone can relate to at some point in their life because it shows that none of us are perfect because we are humans.  We all make mistakes and can't always be the way we or others want us to be.  

5) Titanium - David Guetta ft. Sia

This song represents when I feel strong and in a way unstoppable.  I normally can take criticism and still be strong.  It shows that when people may try to bring me down I won't let them get to me and change me or break me down.

All these songs mean a lot to me or represent me in some way.  I know that at least for me music is a big part of me and means a lot to me.

Creative Writing

Outside the cabin, the wind howled through the trees, while inside, the old woman's fire was nearly out.  The fire little but bright, the embers blowing high in to the sky with the wind.  But no one knew the magic of the embers. The ember touched a bird and turned it to a fiery bright phoenix and one would touch a wolf and turn it into a wolf of fire.  Anything touched by the ember of the old woman's fire would into something mystical.  The magical embers wanted a human to control and turn in to a  one who can bend the element of fire.  They wanted to take over the whole world and gain complete power.  The only thing that can save the world from was the embers is the mystic water.  The only way to get the mystic water is to touch one ember to water but it must only be one ember.  The woman woke up and noticed the mystical beasts assembling around the fire.  The women notices it reminds her of one of her witch books she did not think was telling any truth.  She runs to the book and sees how to make the mystic water and gets the water.  But the second she opened her door the embers came closer causing her to slam the door but notices a couple of embers made it in she manages to slip one of them into the water.  The water starts to glow and she goes to the book and reads that she had to pore the water on the fire.  She decides to open the window and throw the bottle into the flames before anything was able to get to her and the flame goes out and with a glow everything goes back to normal.

Regionals 2017

Over my Winter Break I went to a conference for church called Regionals.  Regionals was honestly a really good experience for me.  The conference lasted 4 days and was at a retreat site in Michigan.  I mean even the bus ride there was fun whether it was the movie playing or that guy dancing in the back of the bus right before we arrived.  At the conference site we would have these talks surrounding the main idea which was Strength in Weakness and had a pastor talk to us for an hour and twice a day for the 2 full days we were there, which I know sounds boring but really wasn't.  After the talks we would have small group discussions which is where I met my 4 newest friends, I already miss them :(.  We would have some time to just go do whatever we want, we could go hang out in the gym or the cabins or just take a nap.  We also had worship before the talks which was a time where we all just sang together with 6 people leading by playing an instrument and/or singing.  The food there was alright but I mean it's food and we could get as much as we want of it.  The final day was pretty sad honestly after the service it was just people taking pictures and giving out their number, yes I was one of those people, but that day we, my small group, decided to all sit together for lunch and after that our leaders had gone to say bye to their friends and we all hung out till it was time to leave.  We also had a sendoff to our Achens, priests, and multifamily wouldn't be able to make it the next confrence .  In the end I want to say that Regionals has helped make new friends and grow in my faith so I can't wait for Regionals 2018.

Spider-Man Homecoming Review

I would say that Spider-Man Homecoming was one of the best movies superhero stories I've seen.  In my opinion it had that good humor of the teen Peter Parker, the character behind Spider-man. Even though it may not have the best fight scenes, in my opinion, it makes up for that with the story.  This movie would be a good choice if you like a nice comedy that still has that superhero feel.  If you also enjoyed Deadpool you would probably enjoy because it has a similar feel but more kid friendly.  In conclusion, I would give this movie a 8/10 because I feel like there are better movies but it's pretty high up on my list.  

What Teens TOTALLY Want

I’m going to tell you what to get for your fellow teens.  Here’s what teens TOTALLY want for the holidays.

1. Fidget Spinners, All teens really want a fidget spinner because they were all the rage.  They’ll all look really cool walking around with fidget spinners in their hands.
2. Pop-sockets, I feel like practically every teen had or has one of these so why not get them one.
3. The latest iPhone, I'm everyone loves iPhones, right. So why don't you get your fellow teen one.
4. The latest Xbox or PS, All teens these days just want to play video games and watch videos and shows. So why not get them one because it totally isn't in a responsible price range for a nice cheap gift.
5. Teens, girls especially, totally want Starbucks all the time. So get them Starbucks because everyone likes coffee, right?

Perseverance

I decide to do this post surrounding the quote by,
"Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever."

-Lance Armstrong

This quote shows that perseverance can only be found if you don't quit because once you do the pain or whatever you are trying to accomplish lasts. You need to have perseverance to get past the pain as it says in the quote. The pain may feel like it lasts what feels like forever but if you don't let it get you and make you give up you'll get through it with your perseverance.

Outsiders Comparison

I think that I'm most like the character Sodapop from The Outsiders because I would say I'm close with my family and friends.  He also would stand up for his family and friends which I feel like I would do, at least most of the time.  He also would fight for what he thinks is right which I would do too
