Dear Self,

         Well, it will be two years till you read this, and I am sure in two years nothing will be the same. You're a Senior now, congratulations. You made it! Right now, things are going down hill. School is pretty much over, but yet I still do not feel like I am finished yet. Remember to keep your head on straight and worry about your education. Bad "events" will happen, but you need to just keep your head up high. You can succeed whatever you put your mind to.

         If you have questions about things that occur, go back to school, get more knowledge. Do whatever makes you happy. Want to know what is on the other side of that mountain? Do not go around it. Go through the struggle and climb to the top. You may have to climb many mountains, but it does not matter, just as long as you meet your goals.

       People may bring you down, just get back up, smile, and tell them to have a nice day. Do not let anyone stop you from what you want to know or do. But I will warn you, somethings you would want to know may not always be what you wanted to hear. Ask questions that you will know will not hurt you. Knowledge can be a killer, so you need to be careful. Still have friends and hangout with the family. Never let the wanting of knowing more keep you away from your loved ones. Enjoy life! Peace out girl scout! :)

                                                                                                 Love,
                                                                                                   Maysel

Forgiveness

It is not easy to forgive someone. Forgiveness is very hard to do. Trying to find why I should and why I should not forgive them. But then I think of what is the best thing to do. Whether I agree with myself or not. If I really care about someone I will forgive them. Even though the pain they have caused was injuring my feelings I know that it will be more painful to lose them. To forgive and forget they say. It will take all the stress away. But yet I still have those thoughts and feelings. Forgiveness as has to be earned not just given. Forgiveness is hard to do. Decisions need to be made carefully . Or may the decision may not be wise.

What Love and Companionship Mean to Me

If there was not companionship or love in the world it would feel lonely. Love is an important part of the human experience because without love, people would feel unwanted and sick of life. Love makes people feel wanted. Love makes people happy with life, happy that someone cares for them. Companionship is important because when someone needs to talk there will always be a companion who will talk and let them lean on their shoulders. 

Rejection

Responsibility :o

If my friend and I were hanging out and the friend decided to talk me into go to a party. So we go to the party and there is drugs and alcohol and my friend goes and has some. And later the police is called because of the noise. When the police come they realize there is drugs and alcohol at the party with people who are under the age. After the police call my parents, my parents blame it on me when I was my friend, in this situation it would be my fault because I went to the party with them. If I did not go the party it would have been my friends fault instead.

My 10th Project

In 10th grade, I was assigned a project . The project was to make a poster about myself. We had to say 5 facts about ourselves, 5 favorite things, someone famous we would have dinner with and what would it be, and 5 things you would tell your 10year old self. The hardest part of the project had to be cutting the papers out. I kept cutting the papers wrong and making mistakes writing on the papers. It took longer than it needed to be and than I expected to be. Once I cut everything out, everything else was easy. The time and effort really paid off. I feel like I could have done a little better but other than that, I thought it was a great project!

I think over the ages people traveled in many different ways, and those ways helped find some places we live today. Before cars, airplanes, and trains, people had to travel by foot, horse and buggy, wagons, and ships. They didn't have the technology we have today to travel as fast as we did. Traveling by foot took longer than wagons but not as fast as cars and airplanes are. When people wanted to travel to Africa from Europe the fastest way was by ships. But that took longer than it does today.
People devote their lives to exploring for many reasons. They could be curious about what is in the world and would like to get their questions answered. There could be a reward for finding something so they would want the reward and maybe even get their name in a book. People would want to be famous for finding something.
They make many sacrifices when they explore. They make the sacrifice to leave their love ones to go exploring the unknown. They sacrifice their lives going on the dangerous sea to find something they are not even sure they are going to find. They have a lot of courage to explore the unknown .
