Part VII

English today provided me with a very eye opeaning expirence and though provoking 55 minutes. We have just finished reading the book fahrenheit 451. Our assignment was to bring in an object that we "have touched." Now this just wasnt something that you have held in your hand, you actualy had to think about it; something that you have left an impression on or that you want to be remembered for. Now this is easier than it sounds. When I really thought about it there were MANY choices. When I started thinking about it there is so much that I have done. Being a leader in Girl Scouts in my community, 30-40 girls look up to me. Being a camp counselor last summer 800-900 girls. Iowa FCCLA State Officer: nearly 3,000 members, hunderds of state officers from around the country, and 7 very close SEC members. Sheltered Reality Top of Iowa site kids, I'm so proud of all they have accomplished! These are just organizations. This isn't counting my school, my community, my church, or even my own friends. Think about it. What is something that you want to be remembered for? Is there someone who you have changed their lives? I hope so. What object would you bring in if you had this assignment?Now this assignment was two-fold. We also had to write about a mentour or very influencial person in our lives. There were so many people to choose from! I couldn't choose just one so I wrote about two. There have been so many people who have changed me. Wether through Girl Scouts, FCCLA, Sheltered Reality, Golf, Volleyball, school, speech, church, youth group, ect. Who has shaped your life? How? When? Why? Do you know? It is most definatly a very thought provoking question to answer. Chew on this for a while. A worksheet today said T.V. is like chewing gum for today's youth...but let this be your chewing gum today.
