WHAT'S IMPORTANT IN MY LIFE

2009-05-13T08:43:00.000-07:00

My best friend is a really important part of my life. You're wondering why your best friend? She has made a big difference in my life. She is really happy all the time, and her laugh is very contagous. What I really like about her is that she never looks back, and just goes on, and if she does look back she just laughs and pretends it never happened. Shes not your regular best friend she is more then that. She supports me in every decision I make. Im sure that I will never find a friend like her.

I think that individual freedom means that a person has a right to do what is fair and good. Freedom does not mean a person can do or act however they want. Freedom means that no one can tell you anything from doing a good deed.

LOVE POEM

2009-03-16T08:47:00.000-07:00

MY OPINION

2009-03-11T08:26:00.000-07:00

My opinion on barbie dolls is that they are ok. But it depends who plays with them little girls or big girls. Little girls don't really play with them; they just throw them around. Big girls like doing their hair and stuff like that.
