It's the most wonderful time of the Year!!---prompt 14

I think that Holidays are the funnest part of the year because you can just chill with your family and friends and you can eat as much as you want! My favorite holiday is Christmas because its when all our family gets together even the people that I haven't seen for a long time. One of my favorite memories from Christmas is when I was 13 and I wanted boom box and a violin and I got them both.
Now we all have our favorite holidays but one of my least favorite holidays is Halloween. I dont like halloween because its very scary and it is derived and focused on bad rituals. Since this isn't one of my favorite holidays i choose not to focus on it to much or to think about it. So i just think about the holidays that i actually like and about all the memories and good times i have on these holidays!

I Hate Cats Prompt--12

If it Weren' t for those stupid cats of mine i wouldn't be stuck in this pickle. One day i was in my house waiting for my mom to come back form work so we could go shopping. While i was waiting i decided to watch TV for a while since i was bored anyway. My mom was taking longer then i thought she would so i ended up falling asleep. While i was sleeping our outdoor cats started scratching the screen to the back door which just happened to be open. The cats scratched it some much that they tore a hole in it and then they decided to come inside to see what it was like. While all of this was going on i was still off in my own little land dreaming on the couch. Since cats love to play with thread and we didn't have any they decided that duck tape would be the next best thing and there just happened to be some lying on our kitchen counter. The two cats somehow managed to get the tape off the couter and over to where i was sleeping. they unraveled the tape and put it all around me and thats how i ended up duck taped to the couch.

What Really Matters...? Prompt--11

Have you ever wanted to be great? I don't think i ever have. What do you think it takes to be great? Is it being rich or having great wealth? Or do you have to win a lot of great awards? Or is it just being willing to serve looking out for other peoples best interest? I belive Martin Luther King Jr. was right when he said "Everyone has the power for greatness, not for fame, but for greatness, becuase greatness is determined by service." Becuase I believe that as long as you work for the good of others and you are not focused on what you can get out of it you have acheived greatness. Even if you don't do something big, that a lot of people will notice you will still be great, because being great is not the same thing as being famous. These are just my thoughts concerning greatness, what do you think?

The Bicycle Theif Prompt--10

So back on September 14Th of this year Mary Peters the Trasportaton Secretary decided that bicycle and walking paths were a waste of money and that they were using money that should be used for better things like building bridges and roads. She said that the money that we use for building bike paths could be used to rebuild roads and other things that have broken down. But when you think about it walking paths are a very useful things that are used by people everywhere everyday for traveling to work and other things. Also a lot of the people that use walking paths and bicycles to get to work, use them because they don't have cars or they cant afford them. So i think that it would be very ridicules to get rid of bike and walking paths becuase "A person is a person, no matter how small."

the things we'll never forget Prompt--9

Um okay...I really hate talking about my embarrassing moments because they are so embarrassing. Anyways so this happened when i was about seven years old. My older brother was on a little league baseball team so my whole immediate family and my aunt, uncle, and grandma went to his game. At the basball game all the parents and people watching the game were sitting on the grass around the outer part of the field. I was sitting infront of my dad and we were playing a game where I would stand up and then he would pull me back down. I dont know why i thought this was so much fun but i guess little kids get amused my the simplest things. We had been doing this for a while when all of a sudden when my dad was supposed to be pulling me down, he accidentally pulled my pants down instead of me! oh my goodness this was so embarrassing! after that i just sat down for the rest of the game and didnt day anything cause i was so embarrassed... hehe!
