Bullies Be Gone

          The best advice that I every received was when I was in third grade. I used to be bullied a lot in third grade and the bullies would always call me ugly and other stuff like that. One day my mom told me that if I just ignored them and pretended like I didn't care about them or what they said, they would eventually leave me alone. So everyday I went to school and they tried to make fun of me or make me feel bad, I would just walk away or ignore them. It worked, eventually they left me alone and ever since then anytime someone tried to make fun of me or make me feel bad I would just ignore them or keep talking and pretend that I didn't care.

The Feeling of Being Happy

          Some things that make me happy are:
               - My baby sister
               - My family
               - Sweaters
               - Hanging out with friends
               - My animals
               - Sweatpants
               - Warm Weather
               - Swimming
               - Riding 4 Wheelers
               - Campfires
               - Going to my uncles house
               - Riding my bike
               - Family Cookouts/Reunions
               - My Birthday
               - Going to Missouri
               - Having Fun everywhere I go

What makes you happy?

Thankful, Happy, Strong, Inspiring

        If I had to use just four words to describe Nick Vujicic they would be Thankful, Happy, Strong, and Inspiring. Nick would be thankful because even though he may be impaired in some ways he is still alive and living his life to the fullest. Nick is happy because even though his life is probably hard and challenging he is still smiling everyday and celebrating life and what he has. Nick is also very strong because his disability didn't stop him from living life, he still does what he loves to do and never gives up if something gets difficult. Nick is also inspiring because in the video, he started talking about girls and eating disorders, and he said that all girls are beautiful just the way we are. My perseverance and Nicks perseverance have basically nothing in common. When something gets hard, I sometimes give up, but not Nick he keeps going. The only thing I can really say that my preserverance(In a situation were I don't give up) and Nicks perseverance have in common is that after we preserver, we learn from that challenging moment. We appreciat smaller things more, and we usually end up atleast a little bit happier than before.

          If you don't know who Nick Vujicic (Nicholas James Vujicic) is, he is a motivation speaker who travels everywhere and speaks to children, and parents, and just everyone in general. He was born with phocomelia(foh-koh-mee-lee-uh). Phocomelia is a rare disorder where someone is born with malformed limbs, or is born without a limb(or all limbs). He was born on December 4, 1982, and is currently 34 today.
