Stand Up!!!

The poem we talked about today was really cool! It matched everything we've been talking about lately with the Color Purple and all. In both writings people are held down by not doing anything to stand up for themselves. Once they finally realize that it's been enough, they stand up and fix things. This is what everyone must do. We all have problems and no ones life is perfect. When something gets us down and holds us back, we have to face it, beat it, and be better than it in the end! We have to destroy our problems or else they'll continue to hinder us in the long run. This idea is applicable to almost any situation I can think of... So let's not let the world and our circumstances rule us, lets conquer them and fight for a better tommorrow!!! STAND UP!!!

    Jake, you are just too awesome. :) I have to admit that I am commenting on your blog just because I really love the things that you post each week. Sometimes they are funny, and other times they are serious, but I love them all. Thanks for being such a great person and a good role model (well at least in college english). :)
