1. I value my faith. I value this because without my faith, I would not be the person I am today. I feel as I grow as a person, I grow in my faith with God. My family and I have a strong bond because of our faith and this is something that always helps us. I think that being able to have such a strong faith effects my life each day. Without being able to go to church or being able to pray to God, my life would be incomplete. Some of my best experiences come from experiences with God. Camps that I've been to have not only let me become closer to God, but the people I go to those camps with. Also, being able to have a place to worship Him and talk about Him is something that I value and would have a hard time living without. All in all, God ties together my family, my friends, and my life.
2. I think that the hurricane Katrina is something that has really made me look at the world differently. In Comparative Anatomy we watched a news video on the animals that were abandoned from their owners and were barely surviving in the mess. The humane society took trips to different homes and parts that had been hit and rescued the different animals. This really was a shock to realize how much pain and suffering each different person goes through. It also makes me feel happy that so many people are trying to help and make a difference in the lives of so many who have nothing because of the hurricane.
3. What I want to accomplish in the year 2008 is a sense of relief as well as confidence as I venture off to college on my own. I think that so far I've been really stressed and overwhelmed with a lot of things and I just hope that I can relax and enjoy my senior year. I think that I really need to be appreciative and thankful for my time with my friends and family. I want to know that I made the best of my senior year. Another thing to accomplish is something that goes hand in hand with appreciating time is making sure I'm ready for college and being able to be away from home. I always get home sick so I hope that I can get over that and experience my first year full on.

I really agree with you about making the most of senior year. I have been really stressed out about school (esp. calc), leaving, etc. It's best to appreciate every day because time is running out!
Amazingly insightful, Grace. You're a shining star.
I see that you are home sick sometimes. That's gonna be something that you have to overcome as you move on into your college iife. I'm sure you'll make lots of frineds and stuff, cause youre cool.
Having a solid base (your faith) is a very good thing to have not olny for yourself, but also to have in common with others that may even lead you to a stonger faith. All in all, i think its a really good value to not only have, but also cherish. <@:-)-{--<
