Garden

.This weekend my family and I planted our vegetable garden. It is not a small garden, it’s like huge. 20 ft by 18 ft to be exact. I hate gardening standing out in the sun, pulling weeds! What for? Oh yes for our rabbit and deer population to eat it all before I get the chance too. During which I get sun burnt! I understand learning to grow your own food but really I don’t even get to eat anything I grow, my parents then can everything and save it for the next year we eat nothing fresh. That is what upsets me the most, that I cannot consume any of my hard work.

The loss

As I wake up, I see a world that is lost in fear and sorrow.

How can anyone hate their own kind this much?

We are all created equal, yet we look down upon our neighbors

We judge by the outside not by their individuality.

We will keep failing if we do not change our ways.

I still wake up every day and see no change

It is heart breaking that we are so blind

That we do not see our own mistakes,

We have committed the crimes as our forefathers

And I fear for humanity that we will never change.

Lost in choices

I am going on my way in life and I have no idea what I want to do. I have a general field but nothing but that. Eveyone is going to college and knowing exactly what they want to do, what major they want to take. I am just stuck. I do not know if I want to be lawyer, a history curator, or even a doctor. Is it okay to go into college undeclared?

The End of the Play

I just finished a Shakespearean play of the "Merry Wives of Windsor" and I believe the show went extremely well. I played the role of the Hostess and I loved every moment of it. At first I thought the show was going to be an absolute disaster, we hardly had full cast rehearsals, and everyone of us talked freakishly fast, or did not remember our lines. But when most people perform a show it comes together perfectly a few days before the opening night. I am glad that I choose to perform in the play. Not only because it will be my last show in high school, but I had the opportunity to be someone else other than myself for a change.

Not so College Plans

I know most people will be leaving for college before the end of summer, but I am taking a semester off to find myself. I am not going to stay at home and do absolutely nothing. I am planning to do something a bit more adventurous. I am going to Africa on mission trip. I am super excited for it. I get to go and help individual find peace and joy within themselves through God. I am planning to mainly focus on orphanages and the younger generation, because I feel like I will be able to relate to them on a more personal level then, the individuals who are older than I am. Still I am terrified. I have a HUGE fear of snakes and when I see a snake I scream and run away. When I am in the jungles I do not think that plan will work out. I just need to get over the fear of them by late August; I have no idea how though. Still, I am willing to put my fear aside to help people when their problems are actually more important than my fear.
