While I was reading "The Outsiders" I noticed how alike I was with Sodapop. Soda is just a very happy and joyful person, he just walks into a room and it starts the party. My friends and family say when I walk into a room and it lights up. I like to think I'm so lit, we are going to have to call the fire department. Soda always makes funny remarks and I always make puns. All of Soda's jokes QUACK me up. Sodapop has two amazing, loving brothers who have a great bond with each other. I have a twin sister and a dog, which I think counts as two sisters, who I also have a very close bond with.  Soda does care a lot about his brothers and would do anything for them and I feel the same way about my sister. So I guess I'm Sodapop now right?

     October is Breast  Cancer Awareness Month , which is an annual campaign to increase  awareness  of the disease.  Brest Cancer Awareness Month  starts Sunday, October 1 and ends Tuesday, October 31.       Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women in the United States.  In 2011, there have already been 39,520 deaths from breast cancer.  Big foundations like Susan G. Komen for the Cure, small college clubs like Bryant Universities CAC, and individuals like Julie Grimm have been making a difference in breast cancer awareness.      Breast cancer is about  100  times less common among men than among women. For men, the lifetime risk of getting breast cancer is about 1 in 1,000. The number of breast cancer cases in men relative to the population has been fairly stable over the last 30 years.    Breast cancer is no longer a rude subject and receives a lot of money for research.  Breast cancer awareness has significantly increased in the last twenty y

        I woke up to nothing. Darkness around me, throughout the cold, windy air. when I stood up I walked, far, far away. I stepped into nothingness. Following my heart and mind to wherever my feet led me. I ended on a ledge, a tall windy ledge. I opened my eyes and light hit me the same time reality did. Once I realized what was happening, I sat. Going slowly down on that cold, windy ledge. I looked far out, out into the danger and sorrow that was now our world. The crashed cars, dead, cold people, and hot flames that lit up the cloudy morning sky. I looked around the city that used to be filled with happy people and exciting adventures waiting behind every corner. But now I see the cold, cloudy, trashed city that has no end to its wretchedness. What happened? Why did our world end so sharply? My deep breathes use to be filled with clean, happy life. Now they consisted of smoke, and deathly sorrow. What happened to reality?         I focused on the girl out in the distance to see w

In 10 years this post might be completely wrong but this is what i'm aiming for.... In ten years I will be 23 years old and just be a year out of college. I am an NYU graduate, hopefully, and yes I have boyfriend. When I was 13 I thought I would end up forever alone. I also have two dogs, May and April, I might love them more than my boyfriend. I work at Costco, because why not work for a store that could survive the zombie apocalypse and gives you free pizza.  My boyfriend and I live in New York, we were going to live in California, but its going to fall off the face of the earth soon. The most important thing to me is to live in the moment, If you don't live in the moment then you will miss all the amazing thing that are happening in your present life. My advice for my past self was to always live every day to the fullest and don't focus on the past, focus on the present. I remember when I was 13 and my friend asked me "are you high" and I said one of my sign

My identity is what makes me who I am, Everyone's identity is unique and different. I am a twin with auburn, medium length hair. I am a Greek orthodox christian that is single and ready to mingle. I'm a female student at Golf Middle School. I like to think I'm the only person who's name is Maria, and has a nickname that is a Starbuck's drink. I think I'm pretty unique, you know when we were all in elementary school and the teachers would say "be yourself", well I was always being myself and I never saw the big deal about trying to be like other kids. I got the fact that fitting in was important, but I am always me and I will always be excepted as myself by my friends and family. I'm a unique, auburn haired, weird, loud, obnoxious, soccer playing, non-reading, greek girl and there is no body else in the world who is just like me.

  My favorite childhood TV show was "The Power Puff Girls". I remember when my 3 best friends and I dressed up as the power puff girls when we watched the episodes together. I was always buttercup(the green one), because she was the sassiest of them all. The others were blossom(pink) and bubbles(blue), bubbles was really joyful and had a bubbly personality. Blossom was more like the leader of the group, but the way we played no one was the leader. On Halloween that year we even dresses up as The power puff girls. I used to beg my mom to drive me to Toys R Us and buy the dolls. I still look back on the TV show and I still remember the memories I made watching it, I’m a Power Puff Girl for life.
