My New Law

If I could add one new law it would be that not one person is able to discriminate against others by race. Now a days, many people of the african- american race use excuses from our history to cover up their mistakes. Recently, a student at my school was wearing a hat in the school (against school rules) an a teacher asked him to take his hat off. The student responded by saying, "Is it just because I'm black???"
The obvious reason the teacher asked him to remove his hat was because it's against school policy, but the student made up an excuse to cover up his mistake.
Many african- americans say that the "whites" owned them as slaves many years ago, so they are able to use it as an excuse. These people are highly uneducated though. If they would think about it, they themselves were not slaves. The people they are insulting or showing rudeness towards were not slave owners. You can't give consequences to people based on others actions.

What I Wish to Still Believe In

If I could still believe in something from my childhood, I would still believe in Frosty the Snowman. When I was younger, I would build a snowman and hope that he would come alive, just like Frosty did. I wanted a snowman to be my best friend.
Another thing I wish I could still believe in is Santa and his sleigh pulled by reindeer. By watching the Polar Express, it made me believe there really was a Santa. Then, we would go to the zoo and see reindeer. I would ask my mommy, "Don't reindeer live in the north pole?" She would always respond by saying, "Those are only the magical ones."
Although I may not believe in the those things now, I still love to remember the times where there was such a thing as magic.

Appearance = Personality?

I have seen many people who are big on the outside, but on the inside, they act small. They are cold hearted, or not all what they say they are. Although I have seen many people that are that way, but I have seen even more that are small on the outside, but have a huge heart. Some of the most humble people are the smallest. I believe some people's appearances relate to their personality. Every morning you make the choice of what you wear and how your going to act that day. Some people choose to dress how they feel, but some choose to dress how they wish they acted.
I believe that some of the "prettiest" people are the most ugly on the inside. If your appearance related to your personality or intentions, then the most humble people would be viewed as the most beautiful.

Saver vs. Spender

I would consider myself a spender. I am always going shopping for new clothes or presents for others. One of my favorite things to do is Christmas shopping for my little cousins. Buying for younger children is always fun! I think I get caught up in the Christmas shopping, like many others do. I believe our generation is definitely having a hard time with saving their money. With all of the new technology coming out, teenagers are continuously spending money on iPods, cell phones, or laptops. I think once we are older and don't have the support of our parents many people of our generation will go into debt. If people can't keep their spending in check, then they won't be able to survive because they won't have money for food and water. Money is becoming a very serious issue and I believe everyone needs to cut back, so they can eventually get out of debt.

My Tribe

I belong to several diverse tribes. I am an American teenage girl...
I am in included in the tribe of soccer players, math nerds, band geeks, country music lovers, Christians, narcissism (Megan told me to put that), and believers of doing your best no matter the circumstances.

Extrovert vs. Introvert

I consider myself to be an extrovert. I don't think that either group has it easier because with introverts deal with being lonely sometimes, but extroverts deal with the drama of the social life. If everyone was an extrovert, I think it would be chaos. If everyone was social, then who could you tell secrets to? Nobody, because the secret would probably be about one of their friends. There would also be more drama. I think that this world does NOT need anymore drama. If everyone was an introvert, I think the world would become less interesting. If people aren't willing to speak to many others, then many cultures wouldn't be shared. I have an equal amount of introverts and extroverts as my friends, but I think I favor the introverts. They usually are more trustworthy with things I tell them. I believe extroverts are better leaders because they aren't afraid to step up and take control. They will use their voice to guide people. I think as writers, they are equal. Es neighbors, extroverts would be better because they are willing to talk to you. I think introverts are better teachers. They view their students as people they are able to talk to and teach, but they also seem to care more about their students. I think introversion and extroversion does matter because without a variety this world would go to extremes. Either completely chaos, or completely enclosed. I believe it's good to have an equal mix.
