Harry Potter, an international Phenomena. It is truly amazing the things that america will run with. They set these books on fire. They have been made into movies, formed dolls, even constructed amusement parks. As I sit and watch the movie marathon today my mind can't help but to try and wrap itself around this crazy ideal. I can not deny that Harry Potter is simply the most entertaining fantasy series to ever be written. It blows my mind to think that J.K Rowling wrote these for her kids enjoyment only, and then later released them. I wish I could sit inside her mind and take a gander, some of the creativity she displays in her books takes me on wild adventures begging for another chapter. With this book not only has she sparked an epidemic, but gotten all generations involved, she has hit every age group there is not a single one that can not enjoy some part of this superb series. Kids of all ages love listening to their parents read it to them as they fall asleep, crazed teenagers stay up for midnight releases then fall asleep with the lights on fighting to read one more chapter, and parents read in their rooms because they too need a little rest and relaxation. This book has done more than most kids do on the daily. This book brings adventure, life morals, and other  terrific things.

have a little faith

Love is patient, love is kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.

                                           1 Corinthians 13:4-5

This verse is important to me because love has made an impact in my life. My family has gotten a lot closer because of love and all of the things it provides, and how it keeps no record of being wronged reminds me of God and how we are always forgiven because Christ died for us.

Giving me reassurance is one of the many things God has done. He does this through constantly reminding me that he has a plan. He leads me through thick and thin, and continually guides me through. One time in particular sticks out to me: the night my mom died I didn't know where to turn, desperate for answers I prayed. Maybe I didn't get the answer that I wanted, God gave me a better one. He provided me with my moms friends and family who flooded me with their memories of my mom's life. It was exactly what I needed.

Believing is seeing, is the way I understand the holy spirit. It's the presence around you, when all else fails. It's hard to explain the feeling it gives you, the unseen protection around you. It leads you in the right direction.

Jesus died to save us. He came to earth knowing what he came for, yet still went through the pain to give up all of it for us. Through him we are saved. He died so our sins would be forgotten.

The bible is there for us to reference past encounters with God. To show us that others have witnessed acts of christ and to teach us to continue and teach our kids about God. That we will bring others who don't know God, to him. Also to pray for those in need.

Our Faith is something very important to each and every one of us. Its the one thing that will be there for us regardless of what we do. We can turn our backs but its the one thing that holds us together, like the last piece of the puzzle, it fits and makes our life complete.

final

The end of a trimester brings about a lot of reflections and even more cramming for finals. It is truly amazing to me the whole finals process. Teachers range from giving you nothing to attempting to hold reviews over the material from the entire year. (My argument hear excludes AP classes for the most part). Finals are indeed a stressful time of year especially winter finals, considering I think it's safe to say most high school students struggle through this term anyway. To test them over the knowledge they barely managed to comprehend is hilarious. Some teachers even go as far as making it worth 20+ percent of your grade, that just seems unfair to me, why would you take away so much from kids who kept up all term and worked their butts of to stay current and up to the pace of the work. It also gives an opportunity for students who screwed around all term a chance to redeem themselves with an A by acing the final, aka giving crammers recognition for their ability to shove information into their brains. Really? Who's idea was this. I understand AP test preparation and the importance of that, but the constant testing of students, this hole process is a way for the school to push the students and teachers to be crazy with the amount of work they have to do. I say we let teachers test on their own time and students study for manageable amounts of information. No one needs the stress or the massive grade fluctuations, these tests cause so much nonsense and brain stress, I say enough.

reccomendations

Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember, I'll always remember the sound of the stereo, the dim of the soft lights, the scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers and the time on the clock when we realized it's so late and this walk that we shared together.The streets were wet and the gate was locked so I jumped it, and I let you in and you stood at your door with your hands on my waist and you kissed me like you meant it.

      I have always loved dashboard confessional, my sister introduced them to me when I was about 14 years old and I have been an avid listener ever since. They are so good because they defy normalcy, they are beyond mainstream, but they aren't hipster. They are good people, good people know good music. This song is called hands down, it is probably one of my favorite dashboard confessional songs, all of their songs just go so deep, and really pull emotion out of you, definitely worth your while to listen to a few of their songs.

more then anything, more then anything,

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it, to your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,

You never need to carry more then you can hold,

and while you're out there getting where you're getting to,

I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,Yeah, this, is my wish

      This is a rascal flatts song called my wish, they are in the top five of my favorite country bands, I actually went to one of their concerts and sat in the first row, it was such an amazing experience they are phenomenal. Country music really speaks to me because it always hits close to home. Country music is always about something real, something relatable, something that has happened in your own personal life. What more could one really ask for in music? It is such a great way to cope with everything in life, happy, sad, confused, broken, in love. Someone else has been there and sang about, instantly you have comfort. Try a little country, you wont be disappointed. 

medicine

I want to go into sports medicine in my future; I am interested in medicine because of my families’ involvement and my own personal interest in science. I like doctors, it is a hard career. Mostly because of the hours, including being on call, and often taken away from family events. Getting into medical school is extremely hard, and requires a lot of hard work starting in high school and continuing all the way through High School. It is an important career and it will never lower in demand. Society will always need doctors. Sickness is constantly changing its form, and we are always racing the clock for a cure, it is important that we stay on top of cancer and other diseases. Many doctors go into research and spend their whole life searching and trying to find out how a disease works and for the cure. The problem with medical research is that it requires a lot of money, and most research companies depend on donations, as the government is often reluctant to fund these organizations, although they should be jumping on the opportunity. It could solve a healthcare crisis. So many problems and solutions occur in the wide world of medicine every year. I know from experience because my mom had cancer and we sent some of her cells to a huge research lab in California where they tried obscure things to attempt to cure her cancer; there was no cure for the type of cancer she had. We got some results back after she died, and that really didn’t feel the greatest, but it’s good to know that there is progress.

yikes

applying to college has to be one of the scariest thing a young kid goes through during highschool. With all of the stress from school tests, finals and sports there is, enough on the poor kid's plates. Then you throw in apllications, essays, and all the time that they require. Kids are getting entirely too much work to do. How can we expect the best from these kids when we give them minimal time to get it done. Then there is another stressor added upon that for athletes. Recruiting is beggining younger and younger and kids are being forced to stress themselves out 3 years in advance to their actual arrival upon that college campus. How is it fair to make a 13 year old boy or girl make a decision about their life, when that time frame is still 3 to four years away. This seems incredibly unrealistic. Not only does it force children to make an early choice that will echo on in the future, but it also puts a strain on school, their relationships, family time, traveling expenses, not to mention how frustrating it is to be constantly bombarded by recruiting emails. I am currently dealing with this and have been for about a year. It is quite awful and I am so frantic, if anyone even says the word college in front of me I lose it, and frequently have to step or run away from the conversation. Going through this stress at an even figure out what you are going to wear tyounger age seems impossible to me, how could your head even wrap itself around the idea of that big of a decision. How can you picture yourself in four years, when you can not even figure out what to where tomorrow, or what you want to do this weekend.
