Lent

One of my Lenten promises is to no eat candy. I have been doing pretty well, but occasionally I have broken it by eating some chocolate. It's so tempting! But I will keep working on it and try to resist the temptation because that is a major part of Lent. I have also been trying to get my priorities straight and not procrastinate as much. I am a big procrastinator so it has been hard, but I've been making progress. I try to work hard and do my homework before doing other things. My goal is to put God before everything else, which would bring me closer to Him. I hope I can follow through with my promises and be a better person.

Service Project

Over the summer, I worked at the 1, 2, 3 You & Me daycare. I helped little kids with their daily activities, such as coloring, reading, playing, eating, and sleeping. I found out about this project at a freshmen meeting in the auditorium. So far, I've completed about 100 hours, but I might work there some more this summer. I find this work very rewarding and fulfilling. I love working with little kids, and they always make me smile. They're so cute and lovable!! I'll always remember this one kid Reese. He had the chubbiest cheeks and was so adorable! Most of the time, I worked in the Red Room with 2 and 3 year olds. It made my day when i walked into the room and they would all say hi and give me a hug. :) Many times they would fight, but I helped teach them to be nice to one another. It was truly rewarding to work with them and help them learn.

Paul Harvey

Paul Harvey is a famous American radio broadcaster. His career reached its high point when he began working with ABC Radio Networks. He hosted the series News and Commentary, often known as the "largest one-man network in the world," and The Rest of the Story, which provided endless amazement as Harvey explored the stories behind famous events and people. He is known for his entertaining, quirky, and enlightening commentary. Many times, he did not distinguish fact from folklore, and his use of catch phrases made him very well-known and likable. Millions of Americans listened to his familiar broadcasting voice, making his popularity so far-reaching. Throughout the years, he received numerous honors and awards, including Commentator of the Year, American of the Year, and election into the National Association of Broadcasters Radio Hall of Fame. Although I do not have a good radio voice, I admire and relate to his unique style. Sadly, he died on February 28, 2009, but his beloved memory lives on.
