Kick it in the Butt
By Jodi Picoult
This is for the pirates. This is for the fat people. This is for the kids who eat chocolate cake for breakfast.
This is for the ones with a cold. This is for the sick and tired. Kick it in the butt.
This is for the Widows. Kick it in the butt.
This is for the sons and daughters without parents. This is for the homeless. This is for the addicts. Kick it in the butt.
This is for the people with depression. This is for people suffering. The people in the hospital.
So grab life by it's ends and kick it in the butt! You can survive this!

Gandhi
Sometimes I wish I didn't wear my heart on my sleeve. It wouldn't get broken into little pieces. Who is in control of our lives? Not me... When we will own ourselves completely? I wish I wouldn't have lied to the ones I love. I wouldn't have taken the lonely road if I knew I would end up this way. I worry that all my hard work will backfire and turn into ashes.
I don't like to forget... I keep forgetting to do my homework. I keep forgetting to be myself and love who I am. Why must the world be this way. So many people stop and stare. I wake up in the morning afraid to get out of bed. What will this day bring? ANY day we can self-destruct. ANY day we can die. ANY day we can lose everything we love. Does anyone realize that each day we have on earth is a gift from the Lord?
At night I get down on my knees and pray. Pray for the world to get better. Pray for the sick, the lonely, the ones without homes. I pray for my mom. I pray for my sisters, my nieces and nephews. We pray for the things we love. However, the best things in life, are not things. They are people.
We love to see the light. When will be the last day?
but tonight, is not the last time i'll see the light.

My Journey
Ordinary World: Wake up, go to school, go to work, go home do homework. Rinse and repeat.
Call to Adventure: Have to decide where I want to go to college.
Refusal: I won't worry about it till the last minute.
Mentor: My mom comes to talk to me to tell me it is very important to apply to college now.
Crossing Threshold: I will no apply to colleges and get my school work under control.
Test: Will I get accepted?
Approach: I have too much work right now. I can't handle school and work at the same time.
Ordeal: I get a letter in the mail and I got rejected to one college. But the next one will be good and I'll be okay!
Reward: All my hard work in school and applying to colleges finally paid off. I get a letter from the U of Arizona, and I am accepted!!!
