Lent

As this Wednesday passed by, also so did the beginning of Lent also passed by. Each year for lent I try to do something challenging. For the past three years or so I gave up junk food. I was thinking maybe something easier like no gum or candy but this year I gave up all junk food except chocolate.

This is my first year of being confirmed during lent and as I must say it is a blast. Even though I like going to my christen school it better for some odd reason to stay home and enjoy the holiday. When I went to my Christian school we learn that lent is when Jesus walks across the desert for forty days and forty night s without food and water. And also it is when he died on the cross and then risen from the died.

Lent is okay in my family and we go to church once out of the blue during this season. One thing I hate about this season is that each Friday we Christians can’t have meat. Usually I am okay with not having meat, I eat the most less meat in my family. It is just we have fish instead. And ask my family I rather eat pork or ribs than eat fish.

They’re a lot of good things that can come out of lent. One thing is that Jesus has risen from the died. And there is the Easter bunny and Easter eggs to look out for in the morning. And after forty days without junk food it feels great to start eating it, especially with all the candy from Easter. And I also feel like lent is a time of giving to god to show him as much we love him and we do this every year to show him this.

With my fourteen years of life. I have a lot of memories of Easter. Like a few years ago the was a new blanket of snow on the ground the day before Easter so my sisters and I sisters shoveled up a huge Easter bunny out of the snow. And last year with my almost perfect Easter, but I don’t want to get to much detail with that one. And then when I was six or something I thought I saw the Easter bunny outside my backyard window but nobody believed me.
Have a great lent season!!!

Big Fish Tale

A long time ago there was a land of mysteries. There was a great wall that divides the world from realistic, and fantasy. The wall was dark gray, taller than the twins towers and wider that the Stevenson. Nobody crosses over the wall. The realistic side of the wall has no color, the sky circles around with ash of bodies and gun power. The main land was covered of guys without souls and laid there in silence. And there is a king of the devil, scaly like a snake, and as dangerous as a shark. In the fantasy land there was rejoice of happiness to grow more than there is in the realistic land. All magical creatures live there. There were ponies, vampires, dragons, knights and princesses in distress. Both lands very different and I was in the middle of it. Sincerely, I was in the middle. Since nobody crosses the walls they don’t know that there is another wall. This land has green grass plains and bright blue sky like cotton candy. No evil and no fantasy unless we make our own.

I grew up here and each second is like a breath of dawn and sunset. But as a girl is getting older, she needs to find a soul mate, which is the rule here. And right now I am the proper age to go looking for one. I am going to the realistic world first so I can get it over with. I am bringing a group of my friends because all of our birthdays are around the same date. When we went through the little passage way my mom and dad dig, I could feel the cold breeze on my face. I didn’t feel anything, not sadness, not anger, not even happy, just felt like nothing.

When we got out to the opening, we can see why. Just a plain of dirt with a dark sky. All the sudden there was a rumble in the ground and saw something underground coming right at us. We start to run as fast as we can. Then it starts taking one of us done at a time. Down in the tunnel I don’t remember much, but when I woke up I found a man eating my friends. When the monster notices that I was awake he started asking me questions like who I was and where I was from. I told him lies. But then he keep staring at my hand, I was nervous because I thought that he might chewed it off. Then a second, he turned into a boy. He looks about a little older than me. And then I knew he saw something in me.

Soul mates I thought, maybe that is what he is thinking, or maybe a good meal. We sat and stared at each other and talk to each other. He said that I looked a lot like a girl that he saw that he promise himself that he would married her. And then on the decided that I was his soul mate that he saw and turned into a mini lizard, climb into my hand and said that he will always be with me. And then he melted into my hand and now when you look at it you will see him

What should The United States do about Congo Sexual Violence???

The United States should pay attention to Congo Sexual Violence as the same as Haiti Earthquake.

The United States should treat Congo the same as Haiti because they are both are disasters. In 1994, genocide was in Rwanda, it killed 800,000 people. Refugees tried to slip their way to their bordering countries of Tanzania, Uganda, and Congo. And right now the Genocide in Rwanda has stop, but the one in Congo is still going on. “Young girls are being gang-raped with Bayonets and chucks of woods, their insides ripped apart”. Another reason why the United States should pay more attention to Congo is that it is preventable. When a hurricane or an earthquake happens, it isn’t preventable, but a man-made disaster is preventable. The UN says this about Congo “brutality toward women [is] almost normal.” I for one want to see the end of this disaster.

Another reason why the United States needs to pay more attention to Congo is that ignoring them. Just think before the Haiti’s earth quake, we have been more interested to Natalee Holloway, OJ Simpson, Michael Jackson, and etc than Congo… This has been over a few years, but this has been happing since 1994. And another reason why we have been ignoring them is that most Americans haven’t heard the situation in Congo. The first time I heard about this was a week ago, and I couldn’t believe it. I ask my older sister this question and she just says what American is also saying. “That Congo problems have been on so long and that we don’t know what we will do.” But as I read an article it says that Congo and Haiti are equal and that they both should get the same amount of attention as Haiti, and I believe in that.
