Happy New years every one!!!!

So I rang in the new year with some friends and then I ended going home because of a lot of drama that happened at my friend Mitch's house. I didn't exactly want to be there during all of it so I got a ride home. The next was awful I got into another fight with my dad so I went and stayed the nght at a friends house, then I was talking to a few o my friends and heard that a few of them got into some serious trouble on new years eve ngiht. Which obviously is never good, and since their really close friends so I was feeling for them. Then my boyfriend seemed to disppear of the face of the earth no phone calls or anything I was worried, but a few days later he finally got in contact with me, he also had gotten in to trouble on new years eve night. I was glad to say that I wasn't with any of them, although it seemed that just about every one mad bad choices on new year's eve. I was quite surprised, for a lot of people it made them ring in a bad new years. Somthing things that I could gladly leave behind me from 2009 are the fact that I move twice, I didn't think I'd move again although I might be again. Some good things that happened are me meeting a lot of new people at Stevenson like my boyfriend, Eric J. All of my girlfriends; Brittany, June, Bianca, and of course the guys; Chris, Romi, Chris, Devan, Yousef, and well there's a lot more but im not making a list just my main people. For the most part my new year hasn't seemed like much of a different year at all. Except for the fact that I've already had t deal with a lot of serious drama, other then that aspect of it, it's been great! Hop every one else is having a spectacular new years.

Family traditions

My family doesn't exactly have any tradition, other then eating dinner on the holidays, and also going to church at night. We do that for just about every big holiday; Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and that's it. We always go to church on these hoidays and then when we getout of church, which is always late, at least twelve o'clock or so, thats when we go home and eat dinner. On easter we get together with my god parents and go to church because my god father is the preist at Assumption church in grosse point. Im greek orthodox so when we fast we cant have dairy or meat for forty days andforty nights, not just on certain days either it's every day. So the whole week leading up to easter we go to church morning and night and between that time my family and my god family goes to Mcdonalds and orders like a million orders of large fries, because it's just about the only thing we can eat from there. Then easter night we get out of church at like three O'clock, and go eat dinner at my Nouna's house (god mother). Easter is probably my favorite holiday just because of this and every one always seems to be in such a good mood all week. Christmas time in my house is'nt as extravagent as it seems to be for other familes, because my family just goes to church Christmas Eve night and then come home and oen a single gift then go to bed, this year was different because I got mad at my parents and left, on christmas eve, they werent to pleased with me the next morning! I stayed a really good friends house though were basically family so their parents didnt mind me staying there. New years eve in my house hold isnt anything special we all seem to do our own thing.

The power of one.

The Power of One, that film really touched me. It made me realize in order to change something you must stick to what you believe in and never give up no matter what. Peekay is the definition of determination in this film, he goes through hardship after hardship. One of the many hardships that Peekay had to go through was when he was abused by the other children at the school, and being hung up side down and being peed on. Also he had to deal with the death of a really close friend, you may have even considered him family to Peekay; Geel piet. This film showed more of how it affected other districts in the country an also how it affects the kids, which to me is a big part of a countries… well everything, it’s the younger generation that hold everything in it’s hands. This film showed every different perspective from a white man to a black prisoner. It also showed that there really isn’t a difference in people, you can’t judge a person based on their skin color. In this film Peekay’s girlfriend show’s us this by changing her way’s and the way that she was raised once she got to know how nice the colored people really are. One part of the film that I really enjoyed, or that touched me was when the village was being raided when Peekay was there, and they were shooting people and trying to find him so that they could kill him. The part that I liked about this was when Peekay saw a man being beaten because the white man couldn’t find what he was looking for; Peekay. So he sneaks up on the white man and attacks him, but then when Peekay is about to be trying to kill him.killed he colored friend came up and saved his life by killing the white man who was
