Betrayal


"Et tu Brute, then fall Cesar." Perhaps the most famous words in English Literature speak of betrayal of a friend. Julius Cesar is saying that even his own friend is stabbing him in the back, then he has no hope. Our friends are the ones that we except to stand by us through thick and thin, when we are going through hard times and we ask that they be like a bridge over troubled waters. Someone who betrays, or stabs you in the back, is called untrustworthy.

If you make a promise to someone and go against your word, that is what you call betrayal.
When after being betrayed its hard to trust again. True friends are hard to find. Trust is a hard thing to just give someone, and it's even harder to handle when someone breaks that trust. Most of the time people land up with wrong people that are hard to adjust with. Keeping up with a broken friendship is quite hard, especially if it was not your fault. But, life goes on you make new friends. You push away your hurtful past and learn a valuable lesson from it. When friends let you down and are not there for you when you need them the most, its very heart wrenching. Sometimes the reason why friends betray you is just not known, which leaves you the feeling of guilt that maybe something went wrong from your side. You demand answers of why you have been betrayed for no fault of yours.

Hate it as much as you want, you will eventually have to reach the point of reality and accept that things were not
meant to be. If someone ever asked me, "If we cannot rely on our friends to lend us a helping hand, then who can we rely on?" I would respond to that in one simple world, Ourselves. "Don't ask of your friends what you yourself can do" (Quintus Ennius)
. I've learned from experience that we can not depend on anyone but ourselves because when we do depend on others there is always a let down. When you hear the saying of "You can't trust no one," it is 100% true. There is not one person out there that knows you better then yourself. Not even your own parents. They don't always tell you the truth. And for some of us they're not always there for you, but its okay because I have myself, and that is all I need. For right now I have gave my trust to one other person besides myself. I can't tell you why but i trust this person to the fullest. Her name is Rehanna and she is my best friend, more like a sister. For the two years I've known her she has always been there for me no matter what. She is amazing and i love her so much. When you do find those couple people you can trust its the best feeling ever.

"You didn't know i was waiting on you? So i was really waiting on a dream that would never come true!"

Courage and Bravery

"Courage is the absece of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more importnat than fear."(Omar Bradly). "Bravery is being the only one who knows you are afraid." (Franklin P. Jones)We all face difficulties in our life like loosing someone you love getting something stolen or having the school bully on your bad side. But wat sets courageous people apart from cowards is fortitude. Having the fill to go out there and face those difficulties and diffuse them with passion and strength. Having such qualities is a hard thing to find. Not alot of people straight up can tell you that they have those qualities because to many people are scared of their difficulties.

The Literacy Site-World Hunger


The Literacy Site provides a feel-good way to help promote awareness of the importance of literacy through easy and quick online activities. The cause i looked at on this site was world hunger. There is a 1.02 billion estimated amount of people suffering from hunger out of the 6.8 billion people in this world. It really made me think how lucky I am to have food at the dinner table every night when there are 1.02 billion people out there sufforing from hunger. We take advantage of the little things we do have and seem to not appreciate them as much as those who have never experienced what we have. I am very thankfull that my parents have good jobs in this so called "depression" that were in. I have shoes to put on my feet, clothes to put on my back, a roof over my head, and I'm very thankfull for the food on my table.

I Travel Through Time


Time travel is a hypothetical journeying into the past or the future, as in science fiction. In other words traveling to either the future or the past, which most people believe is impossible. I am one of those people. Even though I believe that time travel is nothing but a dream if I were really able to go through time I would defiantly travel from the past to the future.

Starting my journey in the past I would go to the time of the mid 1700's. I would go to the past not only to learn but to teach. I would go dressed in present day clothes so that when i meet someone I can talk to them and explain to how today is. I would take today's technology such as, a cellphone, an Ipod, and a flash light. The reason for the flash light would be to show the great creator of the light bulb, Benjamin Franklin, how amazing his invention turned out. I"m sure he would be more than ecstatic. After my time in the past I would head to the future to see my life ahead of me.

Heading to the future I would take myself to the year of 2020. At this time iIwill be 25 years old. When I arrive to the future I hope to see myself graduating from college with a degree, having a steady job, having a wonderful home big enough to raise a family with my husband. There's not much to say about the future because no one knows what is going to happen, they can only hope.
