Adora Svitak

I agree with Adora Svitak and her claim that children should be taken more seriously and not underestimated. Children are the next generation and if they are just being taught to be "clones" of the adults now then there will be no growth to society, they should be taught and given the opportunity to be better than the adults now. Also children's abilities to create ideas are often underestimated when in fact children have a more expanded and creative imagination which adults are lacking. This allows children to come up with more original ideas or plans rather than what they have experienced or been taught.

New Best Friend Ad

I am looking for a new best friend. In order to be my best friend you must fit my standards and qualifications a friend must obtain. They must be kind, considerate, trustworthy, loyal, honest, outgoing, and funny. They must be kind and considerate because I do not want a friend who will be pessimistic and put me down instead I would prefer to enjoy their genuine presence. Also its required for my friend to be trustworthy, loyal, and honest because I need to be able to trust and depend on my best friend when I need to. They must be honest because if they lie I can't trust or depend on them and it will cause conflict. Lastly, I am looking for a friend who is outgoing and funny because I tend to be more reserved if I don't know someone that well and if they are outgoing it will be easier to be comfortable around them. Also if they are funny I will always look forward to spending time with them to have a good laugh.

Courage

An experience I have had with courage is the first day of highschool. On my first day of freshman I was really nervous and did not know what to expect. My biggest fear was the upperclassman and the "rumors" told about what happens to freshman that I soon found out clearly weren't true. As the first day approached I got over my fears and realize that highschool wasn't as scary as its made out to be.
