Time

Day, n. A period of twenty-four hours, mostly misspent.                                                    Ambrose Bierce

How do spend your time? With your family, with your friends, playing sports, or maybe even doing art? This quote is about just that. Some people may believe that doing art or even work is a waste of time. I feel the best way to spend it is with your friends and family. Also I like to spend time doing what I love. Like singing and playing basketball and even reading. Yes I may complain about have no time for anything but that’s because I spend it doing random stuff. We think the time is being misspent but when you are doing something you love or doing it with someone you love then the time is definitely spent well.

Money

Money is probably the most important thing in life. People stress about it all the time no matter what age they are. This is how you can say money can’t buy happiness. Yeah you can have a lot of money and buy a lot of material things, but if you get all this money and don’t enjoy it like spend time with your family then it’s not happiness. Personally I find joy and happiness in spending time with my family and friends. You may think that you need money to do things, but there are plenty of things you can do that do not cost money. For instance I would rather go to my friend’s house for a bonfire rather than go to the mall and shop. In high school I feel that you can have a job if you need it. To have a job to pay off a car you have just because you have a job is a stupid reason to have a job. To have a job to start saving money for college or to pay for sports and things is a much more logic reason. Right now I want enough money for my family’s college tuitions and my travel fees to come back home be paid off. With this money my mom can focus more on getting through school than getting me and my three sisters through school. I would be happy for a very long time because most student loans take twenty years to pay off and that is a huge chunk of money I will not need to worry about.

Love for a pet

Emotions come from many different things. Also they are different with different genders, ages, and people. My youngest cousin has gone through more distress and discomfort in his eight years of life than I have gone through in my seventeen years.  When he was two years old he was taken from his parents and moved in with his dad’s sister. When you’re two you don’t know what’s going on so he thought nothing of it. When he was four he went back and lived with his dad. They relationship was going well until they started to lose money and they became homeless. Not even six months later he was taken away and started to live with us. Because of these issues he started to lash out, at first we thought it was just him being a young boy but it started to get worse. Then he started to live with his mom’s sister, my aunt. They moved into a new house and started a new life. Now they are perfect for each other. My aunt is not able to have kids and now she has one, and my cousin needed a mother and a home and now he has one. Everything was spinning around him but he seemed so fearless. He didn’t even flinch when his mom had two other children and his father saying he didn’t want anything to do with him. He is only eight years old and has more strength than I do, and I have learned so much from him. Yesterday my mom got a phone call from my aunt. She had some bad news. My cousin had a cat named Shadow and they were never apart from each other. You see Shadow would sometimes like to follow my cousin to the park so he would cross the road. Yesterday he did just that my cousin was at the park and Shadow wanted to go and see him. When my cousin came back he saw his best friend lying on the road helpless and lifeless. He then started to ball his eyes out. Like I said he had always been so happy and never let anything get to him but when he realized his best friend was gone forever he lost it. Because of this happening I Iooked up some poems about losing a pet and found this website http://www.franscandles.com/petmemorialversespoems.htm. Hopefully it helps if you have lost someone special to you.
