I Want To Travel... But In Time
When in time do I travel? Do I go forward or back? Do I fix what I've done or go see what I will do? Do I have to choose???
I would go back and forward. I would go back as far as I could to when Jesus was born to the Dinosuars and back to my time. Go in the future as far as I could to see what I'm going to do and what will happen to me and my life, it should be good.
I could see the good times and the bad but honestly I don't think I would want to see the past or future. The past should stay where it's at and the future should remain a mystery.

Mi Familia: From the Start
In those days, my family would do the same thing my family does now, just with out the all the technology... they still went fishing, hunting, working, having fun, playing with their kids, enjoying the family, and we still do it all.

The Boy that saved the Starfish.
"Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?" The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean." "I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise man. To this, the young man replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die." Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, "But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!" At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, "I made a difference to that one!"
When this little boy threw this little starfish in the ocean, I think he knew what he was doing because without an instant he told the old man "I made a difference to that one." This old man was probably wise... Wise as can be but there is no such thing as someone learning to much, You never stop learning. It starts when your young and keeps going when your old. The man did not question but maybe the man learned a lesson.

Schools these days... They need to change
Have you ever seen a school that looks good on the outside but just the people are horrible? Thats how some of the school all over the USA are, but some are ugly on the outside and look horrible but on the inside the student actually do learn something. What we need to do is not be the last place on the education level, we need to step it up. I think it's really pathetic that a student of a school thinks we should pick it up, because that means im not learning all that I can because the U.S. is to cheap to spend money on school when they would rather spend it on the war. This is a hard yet a sad subject to talk about because even the smartest people don't understand it.

Eventually...
Life has its ups and downs. When your up you feel like nothing is wrong and you feel like your on top of the world, you feel like you can never fall... until something in your life changes. Changes how you think, how you act, and how you feel about everything.
You live life to the fullest and have fun, just remember your life eventually will come to an end.

The New Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Emma Lazarus
The Statue of Liberty I say is a waste of talent for the people who made it because what I think it means, which is we should all be united and work together but that not what most people think it's for. Some think its for power to the United States and for all those to bow down but I dont think that's what its for or labeled as.
As far as the statue of liberty dealing with immigration, really what does it have to do with it? It is a statue that can't talk or move or do anything about immigration.
