Life is a Test!!!!! Blog 3

All my life I have been taking tests and for what? Just so I can fail, then get back up again, and fail again. If it isn't the devil testing my faith, it's somebody at my job testing my patience! So, why do I have anxiety attacks before a test?  You would think that I should be used to taking tests by now. Test to get my driver's license renewed. Test to get in and out of college. Test to live. Test to die.Test for this, test for that, test, test, test. I can recall, my very first test of riding my bike without training wheels. My father guided me, and guided me until he finally let go. The moment I realized I was riding by myself I got too excited, lost my focus, and rode straight into the neighbors tree. Afterward, I rode that bike like a CHAMP!!! Failure. Nothing beats a failure, but a try. How would a person know if they are good at anything if they do not try? Although some people may think they do not need to be tested because they have everything figured out. I got news for you, nobody has if all figured out. You have to go through something, in order to, get paradise in your life. Life is a test. So, I tell myself to get over it, take the test, and move on to the next one. From now on, I am going to look at tests, as obstacles that I will get over: pass or fail. With this attitude I believe I can get over my pre-test anxiety attacks. I started this post resenting tests, but I ended up feeling better about taking them. I gotta test Monday, so hopefully I can follow some of my own advice. I'm open to any suggestions on this subject.

Sept. 12, 2010 Rememberance Day!! Blog 2

What a difference a day makes. 9/11 is a day of rememberance where over 3,000 people lost their lives, yet they laugh and celebrate (middle eastern countries). How can a society of people celebrate the burning and crumbling of two buildings with people inside trying to survive. In my opinion, it seemed like the whole region knew this act of terrorism was going to happen because why else would you celebrate. Those people were celebrating because they felt victorious to see chaos on our soil. Evil celebrates chaos, tragedy, and death. This is why we should make 9/11 a national holiday.  9/11 should be made a day of rememberance, a day to reflect on why we go to work everyday, a day to pray for the victims families, and a day to be thankful we were not in those planes and buildings that went down.
9/11 should be made into a national holiday so that we do not forget! Maybe Labor Day and 9/11 can share the same weekend since both events are a week apart. Making 9/11 a national holiday will give us a reason to get back at the evil that showed up in our country that day. The one thing I know is evil hates joy and making 9/11 a national holiday will surely bring joy to this nation. For example, 9/11 will bring families together and give workers an extended weekend to relax. In my opinion, the intentions of Al Queda was to destroy the joy, freedom, and life of this country which we can't let happen. We can't bring back the people who were killed on 9/11/2001, but we can let them know that we will not forget them!!!!!!!
