Blog #6

            When I first saw these two articles “Before I Go” and “My Marriage Didn’t End When I Became a Widow” the first thing that came to my mind was that we were going to be talking about life. People need to understand that we cannot take life for granted. Life is way to precious to not fulfill the things you want to do.            When reading “Before I Go” it got me thinking a lot. I grandfather died from cancer about six years ago so when I was reading this and watching the video it made me think of him. The video made me somewhat relate and understand more about how life is precious. What I got from this is that we all need to be positive about everything we do in life. We don’t need to focus on the negative side of things because that only will bring us down more. The way Paul was speaking about his lung cancer brought out somethings to me. The way he handled having cancer and living with it was very good. He brought out the good in things and I think that is what made him strong and with all he loves he had from his family. When reading “My Marriage Didn’t End When I Was a Widow” shows me that you can also overcome things. The way Tracy handled her husband’s death was very strong. Her husband left behind their daughter as well and is in the hands on her mother. Tracy loved Paul and would do anything for him. What I got out of this is that anytime we lose something we dearly love we should think about the positive side of it.            The Kalanithis have a very strong voice that bring people to watch, read, and listen to what had happened to them. By them being positive and going through this makes them even stronger than you would think.

Spring Break 2017

    Every Spring Break me and my ten closest friends take a road trip somewhere. This year we decided to go to Miami Florida for a week but this year will be different we will be flying instead of driving. What is a better way than to spend your time off than on those beautiful white sandy beaches? This is not our first time to go to Florida but it is our first time to be in Miami. During the day, we are planning on just sitting out by the beach and then at night we are going to some super fun clubs we have heard about.
    While we are there we plan on going parasailing, surfing, jet skiing, and doing a little bit of some shopping. I am most excited for the parasailing because I have already done it before. Surfing I am ready for but also nervous about because I have never done it before. I keep thinking to myself every time we talk about it that I'm the one who is going to keep falling off and not be able to stay on but oh well. My friends and I loving going on trips together so that is why we pick spring break to be together so we can start off spring the right way.
    We will be leaving on March 11th from the Houston airport and will be back March 15th. This Spring Break will be one to remember because it is different from the other times. When we get there, there is no telling what else we are going to be ending up doing. Spring Break is one of my favorite times because I get to be with my friends, catch up with them, and of course be off of school. We defiantly have more plans for the summer but as of right now we are ready to be hitting the beaches and finally being tan again.
