Journals, Willie Willson, BM portfolio
The journals where an element of this years english class that took a long time to complete. It was made up of different entries that where made to answer questions posed to us by Ms. Dunn. These are my favorite journal entries of the year.
Journals:
How important is it to fit in?
Fitting in is a funny thing. Fitting in really depends on what party you are trying to fit in to, and how you want people to see you, as a person. Someone might be trying to get in to the jocks, or might be a geek. Who knows. All I can say for sure is that everyone fits in somewhere, and finding that somewhere is a very important part of life.
What makes someone an adult?
What makes someone an adult is mainly mindset and circumstance. If you have to care and provide for a family in some way, then you are an adult. If you look at the world and think of how you have to fight for your place in it, then you are an adult. Being an “Adult” has nothing to do with your age, it only has to do with how you treat obstacles that try to overcome you.
What is a “hero”? How would you define it?
Being a hero is every Childs dream. What they don’t realize is that a hero doesn’t necessarily need superpowers, all they need is something to fight for, and risk their lives for. Firefighters are hero’s, the military is filled with hero’s, and everyone who has ever risked something for what is right, or what they believe in, is a hero.
A time when I exceeded someone’s expectations.
In case you didn’t know, my favorite thing ever is playing ice hockey. I love the way that your skates slide over the ice, I love how it is hard enough that you have to give 100% all the time, and I love that skill takes a backseat to the ability to try your hardest. That’s me. My puck skills are bordering on terrible, but I always give 100% effort. Also, I’m fast. I don’t mean slightly fast, I mean I can catch up to my teammates even after they get a solid head start. Teammates, coaches, and parents have always recognized me as a person who will never stop going. This year, I got an award for this hard work. I got an award that goes only to one person in the entire hockey club, and is awarded for leadership, dedication, and just being an overall good hockey player. This award has been the highpoint of my hockey life, and when I got it, I felt like I had earned it, and that it was going to look great on my wall!
