Words od Wisdom from Winston Churchill.
I believe in facing a difficult task you can get some kind of rewarding feeling out of it if you accomplish what ever it may be. When coming across a difficult task there are a couple things you can do. One, you can run away from it and not face it. Two, you could face the challenge and become discouraged because you can't complete the task. Third, you could complete the task and have this overwhelming feeling of completeness. Sometimes when I am facing a difficult challenge I tend to look at it form all angles first before just diving in. When looking at all the angles I think it helps to put yourself in each persons shoes that is in each current situation. If you believe in yourself you can accomplish just about anything. With the help of friends and family to push and guide you along the way theres nothing really that can stop you besides fear. Fear itself can destroy just about anything. Fear is the biggest cause for anyone not to believe in themselves. I have witnessed first hand how fear can impact you when facing a difficult task. When i was little we used to have a trampoline, I had just gotten it for my birthday. One day all my friends and family came over to my house to celebrate my birthday, of course. We were all having a good time, until something happened. There was a few of us jumping on the trampoline and it had gotten to crowed and my cousin was jumping and lost her balance and accidentally jumped right of the side of the trampoline. She began to cry and she was holding he left arm. We quickly went inside and put some ice on it. Shortly after the incident they took my cousin to the emergency room. It turns out she had a broken arm. From that day forward I was so scared to get back on that trampoline. It was a month or two till I finally got up the nerve to get back on it again. Once I got back on it, I remember the joy it brang to me. I was glad I had concurred a this difficult task.
Define Your Specifics
A showoff is a person who acts pretentiously or who publicly parades themselves, their possessions, or their accomplishments. A showoff to most people would be someone who thinks there better then everyone else. This could be maybe be a jock or maybe a celebrity like the Kardashians. A jock could be considered a showoff because they are all about them selves most of the time. The Kardashians could be considered a showoff because they are all about the fame and fortune. They are mostly about themselves. A showoff my behave as if they are better then the person next to them. They could make it seem as if they have more experience or have more knowledge in the topic that is being spoken about. Maybe they believe if they have more then someone else then their superior. I know some people that act this way. The people i used to go to school with are like this. Just because these people have money doesn't mean they are superior to any others. I believe that a showoff can also be a know it all. These people think they know everything like their book smart or may be common sense smart, either way they believe that they know more then the next person does. The many things people think of when they think of a showoff are all the things I have said above but most people don`t think of it being some that is an outsider or a "nobody" because most "nobodys".

look for the Reason
People like to stare at fires because... I believe people
stare at fires for many reasons. Sometimes I stare at the fire, just to look at
all the different colors, like the warm colors. It makes me think of how hot
the flame actually is. Some of my friends and I actually got into a whole
discussion about how hot a flame is because one of us was staring at it. One of
my friends said one flame was hotter than the other and someone did not agree
with him and they got into a debate about it. Another example I think for
staring into a fire could be like in the movie Brother Bear, where you feel you
can see one that has passed away when you look into the fire. The fire could
bring back some good memories with friends or family that you don`t see often.
Maybe it could also be that you were raised up around fires all your life and
you just like to admire the beauty of it. I’ve had an experience where someone
threw something in the fire and we were all watching to see which way it
was going to shoot out. You may also stare into the fire if you a roasting
something like maybe a hot dog, or a marshmallow, you technically have to stare
into the fire just to make sure it won`t burn. My dad always used to tell
me you better keep an eye on that fire so it won`t go out, this could be a reason
you would stare at it so the fire wouldn`t go out

Confession Time
When I was little i had a bad habit of picking at my lip. It used to be just something I did. Today i still do it, but today it`s more of a stress reliever then anything. I don`t know why I have always did it but I have. I used to have trouble with my lips getting so chapped because of it. When I got my braces in the 6th I started to stop doing it. I guess because I already had my braces to worry about. Once i stopped my lips become a lot better. When I got into high school and the braces came off I started to mess with it slowly. Today I have made it my goal to stop. Sometimes it make me self conscience because since I've picked at for so long it sticks at more then it should. I feel as if it may be a stress thing. When I'm stressed I pick at it. Whether it be homework, school, work, family, friends, etc... All of these things make me nervous as well when my nerves get the best of me i tend to do it more. Today i always have to keep some chap stick with me. My chap stick is literally my best friend when i pick at my lip it makes them so dry so, when my lips het dry all I have to do is get out my chap stick and use it. I hope one day I can break this nasty habit of mine.
Get Mad
One of the biggest things that irritates me is when, someone
has clearly more than 10 items goes into the 10 items or less aisle. You would
think most people would have that conscience in there head telling them to not
go in that aisle. I guess people think “oh I only have 13 things of oatmeal,
that`s only 3 over”. Three things of oatmeal is still more then ten. If someone
was always saying “oh it`s only three over” and they still go to the 10 items
or less then it`s going to back the line up; which then in return you’re going
to have to wait longer. The 10 items or less line is for people with 10 items
or less, not people with 13. I have a friend that works at Lowe's Foods and she says that many people do this because they are in such a hurry. This frustrating occurrence has progressed in society as greed has increased in the modern world. Every individual used themselves as more important then those around them. By purchasing more items people decide to increase there personal belongings while inconveniencing others. Due to this inconvenience people like me also become outraged and full of anger, which can lead to many physiological problems. Making the world a little more crazy then it already is. I believe if people would stop going to the “10 items or less aisle” we would have a more understanding and caring community.
