Life Lessons

One of the biggest life lessons that I've kind of figured out this year is making more friends. Back in September I only had most of the friends I knew last year. Then this year one of my friends pointed out that one of her other friends was in my class. So after that I sort of felt relieved. At least I wasn't a complete stranger in the class. They asked me if I knew a specific person so I said yes. They looked at me and smiled and said I know her too. I felt happier because I had just made another friend, who would be in all of the same blocks as me on 1-2-3-4 days.
When we were downstairs at lunch, we met up with some of her other friends and that lunch time was the best lunch ever! I'd made lots of new friends that day... so I was definitely happy.

Another thing I've noticed this year is that not every friendship can stay the same. But I guess that what people need to figure out, is that when you make friends through life you have to lose some good friends too. That's what I noticed a few times this year, some friends will be with you for a really long time and others won't always stick by your side or won't be there to help you when things go wrong.
A few things have gone wrong in 2010 but all my true friends have been there for me. Some friendships make you really happy and others can sometimes really agitate you. The ones that make you really happy are the ones that you NEED to keep. And the ones that make you mad.... are the ones are the ones you shouldn't keep.

I think friendship is one of the main life lessons... because you can choose what you do with it. You can either let it help you with you're life or let it take over and sometimes ruin your life. So through life friendships aren't always going to be the same. Once again... friendship is the most important and great thing to have and succeed in!

Letter

Dear Movie Director/Producer,

I want to state a few opinions about double movies. How you should have less of the same movie and how single movies should have more sequals instead of being left at cliffhangers. These are a few of my opinions.

Many Citizens disaprove of more than one of the same movie. Many people love the original films, rather than the newer versions of that same movie. The original films seem to be longer and more entertaining than the newer versions, which have taken up more time to create and develop. You should really consider, creating less of the same movie.

Can you explain why movies stop at cliffhangers, when most have NO sequal? I think movies without a sequal should be longer and not left at cliffhangers. Citizens all over wait for other movies, as in sequals after watching the first that are left at cliffhangers. Cliffhangers make people wonder if there's going to be a sequal. Also they leave individuals wanting more. An example of a double movie is Karate Kid. The original was made in 1984 starring Ralph Macchio. The original is so much better than the newer version with Will Smith's son, Jaden Smith. The original has less edited scenes than the new one. So it's longer and makes people want to keep watching.

Please consider my ideas and how what your doing has affected lots of people.

Yours Sincerley
