Girl Scout Gold Award

Guess what? My name was on t.v.! Yep, that's right. And this Sunday I'll be able to recieve my Gold Award in the Public Museum! (Sorry, I don't want to say where it is because I'm insecure who reads this). But, a Gold Award is the highest award in Girl Scouts and is equivalent as the Eagle Award in Boy Scouts. What I was doing is that I displayed Dr. Hartje's rocks in one of the classrooms at the museum for educational purposes. I documented over 2,000 rocks and took pictures, measured, displayed, make labels, and mount labels. I'm supposed to have a minumum of 80 hours, but I finished my project with 161 hours!

This Sunday will be a big day. I have to deliver a speech, do the Girl Scout Promise and the Girl Scout Law, get pinned on, and enjoy the astonishing faces of those people that I loved. I invited my friends, my family, my teachers, principles, and my church to see this wonderful event taking place.

If you want further details, please leave a message.

Finallly know what to write about!

Hey guys. Just to tell you that I found out what to actually write about in my story. It will be about somebody who is going to change the world by changing what people think. Like instead of being biased to gays, they will actually learn to accept them as human beings and appreciate them. Treat them the same as every single individual. You know, it's rediculous that it's 2011, and people are still mistreating each other in racial ways. I want to change that. So, why not write a book about it? I think that will be great.

Well, that's all I'm going to give you on the book. I just got the idea last night, so I'm not giving any more details and stuff until I published my work. Which will take a long time.

So,
See ya!

Being Prepared for College

Tonight is my Orchestra Concert, and in the midst of that, I'm thinking if I'm ready for college-music wise. What I responded is "no." I'm not ready for auditions to get a scholarship. I'm also not ready for their curriculum. I'm so scared of all my hard work going to waste. I have been this far, pursuing more than others in my age, and I get....nothing.

Yesterday I was at Mary Ann's place to have my piano lesson. She told me that I had improved, but there's a lot of hard work for me yet. In one of the songs, I have to play 16th notes in one hand, then 8th notes in the other, with occasional 8th rests in the song. That is hard! I don't know if I could do that challenge. I also suck at timing and giving the notes the proper value, which is crucial in college.

In my violin playing, I suck. Well, not really. But I'm out of my normal standards. Right now, I'm supposed to be awesome. But, I have my doubts. I'm not good enough to be in Rockestra last year, and there are people that are 7 years younger than me being able to play very well. It's shocking for me, and I felt like I'm just a ruined talent. I wasn't nurtured to the best of my capabilities until... now?! That's just insane. Everyone else had lessons for years, being able to play like a breeze. In college, you need to do that.

On the other hand, I'm very good at vocals. I seem to understand everything they give me. I'm the true leader. Everyone wanted to stand by me, hearing my voice so they won't get off-key and find themselves back into the music. The thing is, I'm just a persuer. I would do anything to reach that high standard of... good. I don't want to go to college being poor at music. I guess that I will continue harponning my skills until September. I hope that I will succeed.

Abortion

Abortion. What comes into you're mind? Do you think that it is right? Even if your soon to born child will have a disease? I strongly don't believe in abortion. I mean, it's a child! Children are the gifts of God. Even though you got raped or it was a mistake, you should still at least give birth to them. I don't care about if you keep the baby or not, wheather you give it for adoption or not. Just do one thing for me. Don't you ever abuse that child or harm it in any way. And if you are getting rid of it, be sure that you checked the soon-to-be guardians of that child. Be sure that you're child is loved. Show your love to them. If you chose to give your child to someone else, when your child grows up, they might be looking for you. So seek them out, and please don't cause any emotional harm to your child. Your child will have puzzling questions; be careful with your words.

Ancient Behaviors and how it Affects us

I believe that we are imitating how ancient people behave. Such as fighting, hostile threats, being prejudice, have some cruel humer, ect. What really surprises me is that it's 2011 and people are still being hostile and prejudice to each other. At least it improved quite a bit than in ancient times. But, why did it take so long to stop this mistreatable behavior? I believe that it's in our genes, or in our DNA. A lot of elderly women are being prejudice and spread gossip behind people's backs. My grandfather does not like African-American people. It's just astonishing how people are being so mean to each other. The question is, why? Is it our mechanism to protect ourselves back then? Or what? I don't know the answers, but I want you guys to know that we should try to stop bullying other people and using hostile threats.

That is all,
Anna

Leaders

Yesterday in English class we were talking about the 1960’s, how there’s highs and lows during that time. How Kennedy got shot, how Martin Luther King Jr. got murdered, how there’s war, and a generation gap between teenagers and adults. When we watched a history documentary about the 1960’s, it states that movements create leaders, rather than leaders create movements. I believe in that saying because, if there’s a revolution, who leads it? There would be no revolution without leaders.

I believe that we need leaders to run this poor, devastating country. When you watch the BBC news, they always will have devastating news like the stock markets going down, talks about the war, the rise of the cost for gas, everything. That’s like, depression all at once. It affects each and every single being in the world. I don’t know how people would be able to cope with all the worries. It’s too much for me to handle. It’s like they need to be in a fantasy world in order to keep sane, or don’t watch the news at all. We need a leader; not just any leader, we need a leader that is not afraid, knows which route is best, has great tactics, and not anger other countries by our actions. Also, we need to get rid of debt. It would take more than 50 years to get that debt all paid. In order for that to happen, Americans should be independent as they were when this country was founded. Americans should work hard for their money and not ask for government help. If we kept on asking, then we will be dependent. The government will make mandatory laws on how to run your life. Like how to eat. Did you know that the government will be taking away salt, sugar, basically everything? That they will stop making chips, there won’t be any fast food restaurants, no desert at al, no candy, no chocolate at all. That means organic food that people could barely afford, fresh meat, and a lot of fruits. They might also get rid of pasta because it has salt. That is what we’re facing at. We need to be independent and get healthy before they take to drastic measures.

Don’t get me wrong, I believe that we needed the government, but if they have too much power, then that’s when things get really messy. We Americans need to shape our actions responsibly before they actually do that. And for that, we need leaders.
