" There is always Doubt before Trust"

It's like when you meet someone for the first time and you know that they are easy to talk to they are fun and exciting to be around. The only thing that worries you is trust can you tell them things that nobody else knows. Can they keep secrets or do they spray them all over the place so that everybody knows everything about you. You really have to get to know that person and understand them before making that next step you would have to know some private things about them in order to trust that friend boundary. I use to always have doubt before i trusted anyone the only problem with that is then you never let anyone in and you can't have really get good friends. In all relationships there is doubt whether you are married or engaged have a boyfriend or just friends there is always drama or something in the way to ruin a relationship. That's where trust comes in you have to be able to talk to one another and share things that you have in common or dont have in common it makes things stronger. I have learned to show trust first it gets you alot further with people and I think it also gets you more people to talk to and to be around, trust is a huge thing in anything that happens and in everyday life. Doubting in life helps balance things out its like common sence should i do that or no maybe i should'nt but it could be ok its your concience telling you trust or doubt. You just have to trust what comes to you first and stay with that because it can get you along way with just a little in the end. Katie Moats

Dominic Rico English 12 8/30/10 per.1 "It takes work to acheive" I used to believe a lot, and I used to be a skeptic a lot. I used to believe that every day, everything would come to me. Like an author who stops because of his writers block. So in business terms, I'd be a mystic employee who believed everything would fall in my lap one day, and it'd all be O.K. This belief faded fortunately, along with it's catalyst Characteristics that went along with my procrastination. It's related to the feeling you get when you don't really notice what's going on directly in front of you because you view it all as some planned out scene. This belief, which ultimately was my failure in past school years is gone. I now know things don't float to you, you need to get up and get them. My epiphany was... not a reality for this script. It was a slow process to get over my complex view of being in my own world. Little things like simply writing down homework, taking the first step to do chores, and gaining the endurance all of my piers already had. I know that I knew my snowball pattern. In the beginning of the year I usually did fine; then after a month my self-destructive behavior ensued, and I would go back to not caring about success...in anything really. I had a few passions though that I could relate hard work too: Music, and my youth group activities in Clear creek Church. I knew I would work hard in these two aspects of my life, and then slowly put the work I'd put into them, with my everyday life. Now when things get 'tough', and I use quotes because that is a debaters term, I don't move along with the same lazy flow I used to... I try harder. Some would call it making your own fate.

High School Life

Coming into high school i never thought anything would be serious, I have never been the serious type of girl. I did the work i was told to do and i hung out with friends and that's what i thought was important. Freshman year all I did was have a blast. I didn't take school serious, boys, nor friends. I was always told that after high school I wasn't going to be friends with 95% of the people i was friends with. Therefore, i didn't let myself get close to anyone besides the one best friend I already had. I never wanted a boyfriend because i thought there was no such thing as love in high school. Sophomore year i was starstruck and got a reality check. The person I was dating was also my best friend. We had ups and downs just like every other relationship but the last down we never came up from and I lost my first love and my best friend. I tried to blow things off as if it didn't phase me but it didn't work, it only made things worse. I was uncomfortable trying to talk about the situation because it was the first time I was ever hurt. It left me speechless. While all this was going on my god mother had passed away and i couldn't handle the roller coaster of emotions i was feeling. I learned that people don't always have to take everything serious but when it is that time then people have to do a lot of growing up in a small amount of time weather they are ready or not. I tried to handle things the only way i could and who knows if it was the right way or not,but now i always look at the high school life different. I wouldn't change anything, but I did learn a variety of life lessons.

College When I was younger I went on many trips, but the trip I remembered most was Arizona. Everything about Arizona just seemed to have me in such excitement. Everyone seems to always complain about the heat in Arizona, but I love it because you can go swimming year round and you don't have to deal with snow. As I grew older I started considering Arizona as one of my top choices for college. I never get homesick and I really like being on my own and figuring things out for myself. Going out of state can be almost scary, because you are on your own and completely vulnerable. I thought it was a perfect opportunity to meet new people and take that big step from high school. As senior year is starting, I am realizing that going out of state is so expensive, even if you have a few scholarships. I want to graduate from college with a low amount of student loans and the smartest thing to do is to stay in state. Going in state can be just as exciting and just as fun of an experience as going out of state. Now I am looking into UNC and couldn't be more excited.

Choir is realy one of the best high school experiences ever, Ive learned boat loads of theory, which isnt one of the most exciting parts, but singing and meeting so many people you never though had the same intrest as you is amazing.. When im in choir I feel free like a bird looking for new things to explore and sing along to. Being in different chiors made all four years now made me relize, it doesnt matter what chior your in, your still important and us as a whole choir department are a family no matter what and it doesnt make you a nerd being in choir. Sophmore year I was in a choir called Voices and I thought it was the coolest thing ever because I was more advanced then womens choir and it didnt seem as nerdy because I actualy had to try out to get into Voices, then I was in chamber choral, which is a mass chior, and I though it was even better and that chior was better than womens or mens choir or any other choir not as advanced. I was completly wrong, I now have a different oppinion about choir and that is, your important no matter what choir your in and being in a chior not as advanced as anouther choir doesnt make you less important, your still in there doing what you absolutly love and thats singing your heart out.
