Designer Babies

I don't really believe in the whole designer baby thing. I feel as if it's against a person's rights. For instance, say a person is giving their kidney to their older sister, that is their own choice to do that. But as a baby, they have no say as to what their parents do with them.

This I Believe...

Sometimes We Can Be Our Own Worst Enemies

I am on the path to success. I wan't to live a successful, happy life. The journey won't be easy. There will be times when it gets hard and I wan't to take the easy way out. I have my family traveling this path with me because they love me and give me support. Even if I'm not the richest person or have the best job, I just want to be happy. Of course, my education and job are very important, but I just want to be happy with what I am. I want a job that I love, something I love to do, not just for the money. At this point in my life I don't know exactly what I want to be, but I have my eyes open to my many options. This is also a problem though. I need to figure out what I want to be by the end of High School, in fact, I need to figure it out before I get out of High School. I need to take classes appropriate for what I'm going to major in, in college. Right now I just need to keep my grade up and my eyes open to all my options because I only have so much time left.  

Life Rewards Action

In the book he says "...people aren't as interested in your intentions, ideas, plans, or thoughts as they are your actions.....Life rewards actions not intentions" This is true and I can relate to it personally. This school year I intended to catch up on my school work and get good grades, but it doesn't matter what I intended because I got behind on my work and my grades are going down. My intentions won't get me a good grade, my actions will.

The little town of Canton South sucks

What change would make your hometown more appealing to people your age?


Canton South is such an old little town, nothing here is new. We leave here to go out to eat or shopping, nobody ever comes here for anything unless they live here or are visiting family. What i would change is I would add more popular restaurants or shops. I'm pretty sure the population of Canton South is getting smaller too because people are moving, the schools are closing and there's not a lot of children registering to South. So not only does Canton South need to change for people my age, but it could change for everyone of any age. I don't like saying i'm from Canton South and the other person says "Where?"

Sophomore Year

This year really has changed since my freshmen year. My freshmen year was pretty much just figuring things out and getting use to high school. Now that i'm in my sophomore I have gotten use to how much work we get and how people are. To be completely honest the only major change is the people I hang out with. My biggest focus is my personal life rather than my school work. Hopefully my sophomore year I don't get too behind. Last year I figured out how to juggle my school work, and hopefully by the end of this year I will figure out how to juggle my school work and personal life.
