SUMMER!
Well, most of my plans for this summer was kind of just chill, and hang out with friends till' school starts. But my mom had other ideas. We are having a "family summer". Which might sound boring to a lot of people, but it is actually really cool. We are going to get healthy by exercising and totally revamping our "blah!" garage. Then we get to plant pretty flowers all around our front yard to make it look inviting and happy. Another exciting thing about this summer is that one of my best friends,FranaZhea, is going to stay for like week-long sleep overs. Most of you are probably wondering why, it's because both her parents have really time consuming jobs that don't have summer vacations, so they always leave her home alone. So me being the awesome friend that I am, (sarcastic), I invited her to basically live with us this summer. Another cool thing that might happen this summer is that my awesome cousin Olivia might come and visit! Which is totally cool cause' I barely get to see her anymore even though she only lives two days away. So that is something I am so looking forward to. Then we are going to take day trips to the Corpus Christi. Which will be so fun because I haven't seen the ocean in YEARS. And I used to visit it like everyday so that is basically torture for me. And I might be able to take some friends with me! YEAH! And if we get really lucky, we will be able to visit some of our family in California. Goals I have for this summer is that I would really like to be able to at least me able to jog a mile so I won't die in P.E. And to get a really nice tan. LOL! The things I am looking forward the most this summer though, would probably being able to hang out with one of my bestest buddies for more than just a night.

Christian The Lion: Meaning Behind The Video
When I first saw this assignment, I was completely stumped as to what I would pick to write about. I mean, what video could you find on youtube that could possibly be written about in 25 sentences? So as I was aimlessly searching through youtube, I stumbled upon this video. At first glance I thought it was going to be dumb, because seriously, there aren't a lot of very meaningful stuff on youtube. But then I watched it and it very nearly brought tears to my eyes. First I would like to tell you why it touched me. Along with my weird obsession with anime and books, I love animals. My best friend and I used to run around and pretend we were foxes or lions or any animal we could come up with. We were addicted to being something that seemed so free and alive. That is how we viewed them. But as we got older, we realized not all people saw animals the way we saw them. There are shows all over TV now that talk about how people abuse their animals because they don't see them as living, breathing beings, they see them as dumb animals that apparently have no feelings and are stupid. This totally shocked us. This is what kind of reminded me of what the people said to the men who raised Christian. About how he wouldn't remember the people who raise him because after all, he IS just an animal. So as I watched this I realized that what a lot of people think isn't true. As you watch Christian run towards the people who love him and raised him, you saw how happy he was to see them again. He hugged and licked them. And you also saw how happy the guys where that their little lion remembered them. That is why this story touched me so much. Because animals aren't just stupid beasts, they are smart and caring and have feelings just like people do. They are loyal to the people who raised them and took care of them. Even a wild animal like a lion can be loyal. Pretty amazing, right?
