What to write... what to write...

My inspiration has decided to take a break today and is going on strike. So now, I don't know what to write about. Nothing has happened at school (because we haven't had school), and nothing has happened at swimming either (swim practice was canceled last night as well because of the snow). Now the only option is to write about something else, but that won't work because my inspiration has decided to go on strike! I guess that's not the only option because I'm writing something right now, maybe that means my inspiration is working, but I don't think so because it specifically told me it was going on strike. Well, hopefully my inspiration is off strike tomorrow, because, otherwise, I'm out of luck.

Opposites

We are opposites,
Of that there is no doubt.
We like different things
But that's what I'm all about.

We are opposites,
Of that I am confident.
I like to sing,
And you love to bling.

We are opposites,
It is so true.
You like pink,
And I love blue.

We are opposites,
It's not hard to see.
You like peas,
And I like ice cream.

We are opposites,          
But it's okay,
We both like the bay.

We are opposites,
We both know it.
But it doesn't stop us,
Watch our friendship grow.

Quotes

I love quotes. I sometimes spend entire afternoons just looking at them. One of my favorites is by Dr. Seuss, "Why fit in, when you were born to stand out?". My favorite quotes are inspirational ones, but I also like funny quotes. I enjoy finding quotes because I feel like they are something I can say to myself to make me feel better and they can also motivate me. I feel like quotes are very powerful, I think that quotes are something to live by, and they can also make me feel better about myself and build my confidence. I love quotes, before I get on the blocks at a swim meet, I will always recite a quote for good luck, quotes are part of my life, my life would be very different without quotes.

Mistakes

Mistakes are what shape you into being who you are. Mistakes can often teach you more than an actual lesson can. The thing with mistakes is that you can't be too hard on yourself; if you can't laugh at yourself or get help to fix your mistake, you will not be able to go through life without stress. Sometimes you will make a huge mistake, maybe with a friend, and it will seem like you have made the biggest mistake in the world and there is no possible way to fix it. Step back and look at the whole picture, you can fix a mistake no matter how big it is, and you will most likely end up laughing at yourself later in life. Mistakes are not bad, they are how you can make light of life, how you learn. Once you have made a mistake, you will might make it again, but you will continue o learn from it.  Mistakes perfect you.

Purple

Purple is my favorite color, and, as far as I can tell, will be for the rest of my life. Purple hasn't always been my favorite color though. Until 1st grade, my favorite color was pink.. I loved pink more than you could ever imagine. I loved pink and Hello Kitty; if I had those two things, I was happy. At the end of 1st grade and through 2nd grade, my favorite color was black. I'm not exactly sure why, but I liked it. From 2nd grade until now, my favorite color has been purple. Purple is also my dad's favorite color. I've always thought that it was cool how he likes purple. That may have been why I then liked purple, but, either way, I have loved purple ever since. 

Math

Why do we have math? Why should we have it? We're not going to use it later in life unless we become mathematicians, are we? The truth is, math is a wonderful and magical thing. It helps us learn to problem solve and gives us that feeling of accomplishment and those "ah ha!" moments. Okay sure, we might not use math all the time depending on what we decide to become or do later in life, but math will help us while shopping at the grocery store to figure out if the 10lb bag of potatoes is less expensive than the 20lb bag. By doing math, we will know how to problem solve and know when to ask for help and who to ask. Yes, math may seem like a useless tool that we will never use, but the truth is, we will use it. Whether you become an Olympian, a doctor or an artist, you will use it, I promise.
