Post #2 Morals.

1.)  a.) Family is absolutely the most important part of my life. No matter if my choices are right or wrong my family supports me and has my back no matter what.
      b.) Friends, are the one's that will always be there if i need them. My friends are always there for me, they know when I'm down, and they always know how to cheer me up. I don't know what I would do without my friends because my family members aren't always the right ones to talk to in certain situations.
     c.) School is an important part of my future. My education means alot to me because I know with the future and the way things are heading, if you don't have atleast some education when looking for a job, you'll be out of luck.
2.) My mom's side of the family has a history of cancer and I was always so worried about my mom and even me in the future. In seventh grade my best friend Clara was diagnosed with lymphomia. It changed everything, I was on the computer for hours trying to find the most I could about the disease. I knew I wanted to do something to help her and her family out. The Halloween dance was coming up and I decided to set up a can where through out the dance people could come and put in donations and sign a card, I didn't get to dance even once. In the end it was worth it, with this being a middle school group of kids we raised $186. It seemed like we could have done better, but without giving an advanced notice that there would be a chance to donate to the family, I thought we did extremely well.

post #1 Into the Wild

Chris McCandless in "Into The Wild" had an astonishing point of view, the book was incredible and I loved hearing about his adventures. If I could I would go back and go along his journey with him (of course if I didn't have the chance of dying), just to see the way he went about things and to ask him the main question alot of people try to ask, WHY?

Chris was on a mission and he didn't want anyone to try and stop him and that's why i was really hard for him to accept any help even if it was only a ride. He wanted to do this on his own, he wanted to explore and see the outter world. Chris was determined, it didn't matter to him what others had to say about him he did what he wanted to do, and he didn't let anyone change that.

When you think about it, if your set to do something your going to do it whether others want you to or not. Also, Chris kept alot to myself and when it comes down to it, it was probably the best option for him. One shouldn't judge another based on another's dreams.

Chris followed his dream, and he died satisfied. I believe what I said was true because otherwise why would he have gone on his journey? Yeah he wanted to explore, but going out as a traveler and risk taker, you understand all the possibilities. You know what could happen.
