Dear 10 Year Old

         Dear Ten year-old, embrace everyone around you, and make lots of friends. When I was young, everyone I met became my friend. No matter how old they were or what they looked like, if they would be my friend I would be theirs. Although when I grew older, I became more secluded and had only a few friends. I wouldn't talk to people I didn't know and I didn't make many new friends. Now that I'm older, I know that having lots of friends is important. You have lots of people you can turn to and just have fun with.

         Another piece of advise is to try new things. My parents always told me, "You'll never know unless you try,". A time I wish I had thought about this was when my friend had just invited me to the beach, but I turned it down because I was very tired from a trip I had just gotten back from. I saw how much fun they were having and I still regret not going. I now try and go to new places or take part in new activities, and if I don't like it, I know that I tried.

    Great advice that all adults seem to tell us, so it must be true. Overall, great pieces of advice for everyone.

    The same thing happened to me and I feel the same way. My parents also told me the same thing about trying things. Good post!!

    I regret not trying so many things when I was younger. I think that it's important to try new stuff because you'll never know what you're missing! good job Katie :)

Thanksgiving Break

        During my thanksgiving break, the first thing I did was go to drivers ed. It felt just like school because I would have to get up early and I wouldn't get home until four. Although the class itself was boring, my friend Katherine was also there, so that made it much better. Once we were done with class, we would go to the mall or Perkins Rowe. Four days later, we were done with the class, and we could finally relax.           On thanksgiving day, I woke up and watched the parade with my family. This is something I've done ever since I was little. Our thanksgiving meal didn't take that much time because it was just me, my parents, and my sister who were eating at our house. This year was very different because all of my other Thanksgivings were with my whole family, so it was nice to have a small meal with just us four. Once the holiday had passed, I spent time with my friends and took time to relax.

Fall Break

       Fall break is one of my favorite times of the year because it gives me time to relax and do whatever I want. My break started off with having a friend over to spend the night. While she was over, we went to the Episcopal football game and met up with some people there. We stayed until the very end and cheered on the Knights. After the game, we went back to my house and watched some movies.        The next day, we went to the mall. It was so much fun because we got to walk around and shop. One of my favorite stores at the mall is Sephora. We went to Sephora and tested all of the newest make-up and skin care products. After a long day of shopping, we went to the food court and got some ice cream. Once we had both gotten home, I spent the next few days relaxing and taking a break from school.

Human Nature

       I believe that humans are fundamentally good, but everyone is different. Everyone starts out good, but they are then confronted with decisions that shape what they are truly like.  I believe this because I have seen people from different backgrounds, parents, and parts of the world. For example, I went back to Tyler, TX, where I lived before here, and I saw how much all of my friends had changed from when we were kids and how different they were from my friends who grew up in Baton Rouge. Growing up in different environments changes the way people think and act.        Even though I think people are fundamentally good, I believe that people have free will to compliment or change that. Everyone in the world is flawed in someway, and that is caused by peoples decisions. Those decisions can lead to changes in judgement. So, if someones judgement is changed, that may change the way they view and feel about different situations. But, peop...
