Nervous

I have never been able to talk in front of people, weather it was a project or just a speech. My face would turn red and I would start to get really nervous. But, I just a project in class and I never got nervous. Given I didn't talk a whole lot, but just being up in front of people usually makes me nervous. I am hoping that I have beaten these nerves and am able to talk in public. It is something at I have tried to overcome all my life. Knowing at I have taken a step in the right direction, makes me feel like I have accomplished something. Sadly this is kind of a proud moment in my life.

Dena Dobrzykowski

Once upon a time I met this girl named Dena Dobrzykowski. We met because we are partners for a project in our English class. We have to present our projected next Wednesday. And we have really done anything because Dena is never here. She always sleeps through her alarm. When she is here you can tell she have a rough, crazy night. It just looks like she should be sleeping whatever she did the night before off. But I think Dena and I have wasted enough time, and that we should start thinking about our project. So Dena Dobrzykowski, lets get started on our project.

A Long Way Gone

The freshmen reader is a book that all freshmen get and are suppose to read. This years freshmen reader was A Long Way Gone Memoirs of a Boy Soldier by Ishmael Beah. I really liked the book. It was one of those books that you just can't put down. I had likes and dislikes about the book. The very last paragraph of the book is by far my favorite. He ends the book by talking about a question that was asked to him about a monkey earlier in the book. Ishmael says that he knew the answer when he was seven, but he didnt know how his mom would take the answer. Ishmael said that he would shot the monkey so that the monkey wouldn't put anyone else through the situation. But, if he shots the monkey his mom would die too. I can't say that I have been in this kind of situation before, but after reading this I realized how strong someone would have to be to do something like this. I believe that Ishmael Beah is one of the strongest people there are. I would never be able to do anything that Ishmael did and for that I give him mad props.

Intimidating Library

I used to love the library when I was a little kid. I would get so excited to get kids book and movies. Then I hit middle school and stopped read. I just didn't find it fun anymore. I became busy with sports and other activities when I got to high school. After two years in high school I narrowed my activities to baseball and 4-H, so I started reading again to occupy some time. I real got into it. I was reading more then I ever had before. I started to go to the town library to checkout books quite offen. Now I am in college and I went to the library for the first time to find a book. I have never felt so out of place. It was like everyone was speaking a foreign language. I had no idea how to find anything. So I rode the elevator two the second floor.Right when I walked out everyone just stared at me. I was so unconforable I turned around rode the elevator back down. I had to leave before I made myself look anymore stupid. I refuse to go back to the library now, unless I am force to or I know what I am doing.
