Dear Ms. Sutorius:

I hope this letter comes to you in a time of need even though I hope I do not have a time of need in the future. I want to start off by saying I am very proud of you for finishing Early College and I hope I am still in college. I know there may be that chance that something has got in the way of college but I want us to continue on, I want a good life for myself. If so, I hope that you are keeping up your grades and are working your hardest in all your classes. But if things are not going so well I want you to know that it will get better and I am not just saying that.

Remember all the dreams you had, Sara. Remember how you want to make your parents proud by doing well in school like they could not. Do not forget about how you want to be able to enjoy your life too. Remember that you want to have a well paying job that you like and that you will not work at a job you will not enjoy. Do not start settling for less than you deserve because you have made it sixteen years without doing so. Do not forget that when things got hard you did not let anyone see you crack or crumble you kept your head up and looked forward. 

Do not forget who was there for you when you cried yourself to sleep at night. Do not forget who made you cookies when you were down. You can not let Sammy, Maysel, Jaden, and Sidney slip away from you, Sara. These people made you smile when you where mad and made you laugh when your heart was broken. Keep your head up doll-face! Remember how you stopped caring what others thought of you because you knew what you are capable of. I do not believe there is anything out there that you can not do because I know the motivation that you have is strong.

Keep moving forward,

Sara Sutorius

Stop-Motion Love Story

For our English extra credit, Sammy and I made a love story about two hands. These two hands fall in love, get married, and then fly off into the sunset.
Enjoy. :)

I Do Not Forgive Easily

 They say forgiveness is a part of life,

But they never said I had to.

Words still cut me like a knife,

I never forgot what was said.

Why do we forgive those who do not deserve it?

Do I honestly believe people will change?

I guess I will just end up throwing another fit.

I find it hard to forgive anyone now,

It seems gossip is all anyone does anymore.

But I have made myself a vow,

I will not care what they say.

I am sure they still talk about me,

It is not like I do not see them anymore.

But honestly I will not forgive thee,

Some do not deserve it.

I am sure if I forgave them my life would be different.

I am sure it would get better for a while,

But I will not be that ignorant.

I will not crash again.

They say forgiveness is the key to happiness,

But I think that it is not true.

Forgiveness will lead to nastiness,

When I forgive them repeatedly.

Forgiveness is something that has to be earned,

And I do not believe anything has changed.

Maybe someday people will finally learn,

I do not forgive easily.

Love and Companionship.

There are many many ups and downs to being human and love is both an up and down. Love and companionship are not really an option though, we all experience it. Even if it is just loving an animal, we all love.  I think that it is something that we can not choose. We do not get to pick who we fall in love with or how long we love them for, it is just a part of being human. Even if I may think that sometimes love is just more of a down for us, it is also a very good thing. Without love I do not think people would try to be their best, I believe that they would not worry about hurting another persons feelings. I also think that love brings people together. If Maysel and I did not both love the Beatles maybe I would have never talked to her and we would have never been best friends. If I did not become friends with Maysel then I may have never became friends with Sammy. But most of all, I think companionship is what keeps us smiling. It does not have to be marriage but it could be a close friend or maybe a pet that keeps us smiling knowing they will always love us. Companionship is a great thing because I can never have a bad day with my best friends around because they will not let me, they will go out of their way to make me smile. I am happy to think that one day I might meet someone who I can go on road trips and build forts with.

Rejection

Pink carpet no more!!!

My house is over one hundred years old and constantly has to be fixed or changed. Over the summer we got a new roof on it and painted it ourselves. This summer is all about the inside. I'm not saying my house is a complete wreck that is about to fall apart but my parents are complete opposites (my dad being a red neck and my mom a classy lady) who both want their stuff in the house. My parents have NO idea how to do décor and always come to me since I have a passion for interior designing and was considering that for a job forever ago. Recently my dad discovered a wooden television cabinet (everything is wooden in my house; perfect for a fire) and we went to go get it. Well when we got in our house we all agreed we liked it and my mom asked me what I now thought of our living room. Being completely honest I told her I hated the carpet (which had faded to a pink and matched nothing at all) and wanted it gone. Somehow I convinced my parents we should take it out and we so moved all our furniture to one side of the room to begin. Now pulling up the carpet is not had at all! The only problem is all the staples in the floor and spiky boarders. The first problem we had with them was my cats wanted to explore this new floor and I didn't want them to get hurt and my dad said he could careless about "The dumb cats" which caused me to start bawling my eyes out because my cats are my babies. Once my mom finally got my dad to get all the cats out of the room and apologize to me we had to get that stuff off the floor. It took us a good three hours to get all the staples out with pliers and the spikes with a crowbar and hammer in the living room. I think that was the hardest part not only because there were at least one hundred staples just in the living room but also because I had to bend down to get them and my back hurt so badly. The next day we moved onto the dining room which took only an hour or so. I did not do the stairs but my parents did and if I had to do them I'd think they were the worst. In the end we spent three days removing carpet and my spine had turned to mush. Even though I never want to do that again I would defiantly say that pulling out hundreds of staples with pliers one at a time was worth it because my house looks amazing. Now to paint...

Curiosity killed the cat.

            Throughout the ages mankind has constantly had a fondness for exploring the unknown. Even to this day we want to discover greater unknown mysteries. From Adam exploring the Garden of Eden to NASA putting range rovers on Mars, we human beings are curious.

            One of the most recognized and remembered explorations are Christopher Columbus’ discovery of America.  He sailed his ship across the Atlantic Ocean to locate a direct water route west from Europe to Asia but ended up in the Bahamas. Columbus wanted to discover a faster way to travel to Asia via boat and Columbus wanted fame and fortune. To make this voyage that is so important, Columbus had to sacrifice the fact he might get lost, crash, starve, and even catch scurvy and such diseases. And this is only one discovery of the unknown!

            Anther important voyage into the unknown is Lewis and Clark exploration into the regions west of the Mississippi River. They explored for they had held interest in further exploring this largely still unknown region of the continent.  They traveled on foot, horse, canoe, and any other means that they had to. Lewis and Clark risked starvation during the harsh winters and/or become hopelessly lost in the Rocky Mountains. All these risk for curiosity

            We humans are willing to risk our lives to know the unknown. We travel to solve curiosity, to gain fame, and even just to make our lives simpler. Humans will never stop exploring the endless unknown.
