Juliana- who in your life has made the greatest impact on you? Anna Kathrine- How is high school different than middle school?

Humans are full of flaws. Humans aren't ever perfect. They make mistakes like being late or forgetting something. No one could possibly be perfect. Some people say "I'm human" and it literally means that humans make mistakes. Over time I learned this through experiences of my own and others around me. At school especially people make mistakes. For example, forgetting to do homework, being late to class, not studying, and getting a bad grade. Those are only some examples of flaws. But instead of thinking about all of those flaws, I'd rather think about all the good people can do.

This is such an interesting question. Some people would say that living and and being alive is the same thing. I would say that it is a much more profound question you would need to look beneath the surface. In my opinion, to be living is not having an extraordinary life but not having a terrible life. Living is just getting by.  Being alive is more of living in the moment. When I think of being alive, it's like when you reach the top of the roller coaster or at a concert and you are dancing and the beat drops. Being alive is taking any chance you get. 

Logan's Fall Break Saad's Fall Break

During fall break I went to Rosemary beach with two of my friends. We rented a house close to the beach. We had so much fun hanging out on the beach and riding bikes all around. At night it was so fun when we would sit on the beach. Or we would ride bikes to other places like Alys Beach. The last two days we could not swim because the waves were crazy. There was almost nobody on the beach. I think is was crazy because of the storm that was coming. The last night we could barely walk on the beach because the tide was so high it would come to the steps of the walkover. I am glad it was a gross day when we left because I wasn't so mad to leave when we did.

A and P is such an odd story. Sammy is a very different character. He seems like he doesn't have many friends based on his thoughts about the girls. He might have been in high school because he was so intrigued. What I want to know is why his parents would be mad about him losing that job. Is he supporting his family? Is this his first job?  The girls in the store were stock characters. It was the way Sammy described them. How there were three of them and there was a "leader"The girl who was leading the other two took the situation about the clothing very well. She just laughed and did not make a commotion. This was a ver random short story.
