I Miss Controversial Issues!

Like I said- I really really miss controversial issues! I think we should have some nice little chats on our walkabout! (which is what I've officially dubbed our service project)

so over all the poisonwood bible was good but loooong, lol i feeel like i could have gotten the same message in a lot shorter of pages but it was still good, im excited to just take the test and move on to the next book though,what was everyone elses thoughts on the book overall?

...

soo that quiz was alrighttt. i forgot my computer so i ran outta time like always but ahah it hurt my hand, ohhh wellll.. i guess i thought the questions were pretty easy to talk about except that one on marriage i didnt really know what to say for that one. but i dont think i did bad on the quiz but i always felt more confident on my quizzes and test in books like johnny got his gun and 1984 , i just felt like i completely got the message and it was easy to write about , in poisonwood bible theres so many different messages so it makes getting the larger message harder to understand.

We are One (Adah)

As I sit here reading the Blog,
I become confused.
So many sorrowful thoughts pass
through my mind.
As I ponder my thoughts,
I begin to realize how similar
Ada and Tyesha really are.

I feel as if a part of myself is Ada.
As though, being involved in her life, has
made me recognize and discover new parts of who
I really am.

Like Ada,
many people have misconceptions of who I am.
They judge from the outside that I am 'crazy',
'quiet', 'self concious' or 'shy'...whether those
things be true or not...it makes no difference.
For those misconceptions have begun to be a reality for me.

It's as if I can read the minds of those around me. Their
faces tell me all I need to know...
I began to focus on these certain aspects of myself
because those were the only things other people saw,
and became the only things I cared about.
I transformed into someone else...
Someone I thought I wasn't, that I never knew existed.

Funny, isn't it?
People are sometimes so focused on what others think
about them...that it changes who they are,
sometimes changes them into what they never wanted to be.

By the time they realize they have changed...the habit
becomes nearly impossible to break. Only when they take a
step back for a while, refuse to walk forwards until they can
succeed, can they again take control and move on.

Ignored? I am.

Invisible? To Most.

But just because you don't see me, hear me, or care about my
thoughts, doesn't mean that I'm not here.
I won't let this become a reality...because if I did,
I wouldn't be Me anymore.
In fact, I wouldn't even exist...
Would I?

Better Quiz?

Well I think that I did pretty well on the quiz yesterday, but who knows? I thought the same thing about the quiz before it an well, it didn't go as planned...
Oh well, as long as I can pass the class with an okay grade I'm happy.
