Besides that happening, I've still been doing all my school stuff. Recently, I got assigned an English Project and I decided to share it with you! No worries, it's actually a pretty cool assignment. The directions were to find 7 quotes from famous authors that describe your ideas and philosophies. They must be published. Sounds fun right?! I thought so! I loved my quotes so much that I decided they were fit to be put into a blog post. DADUM, a blog post was born. I made a presentation dealy, but I can't necessarily put it on here. I sincerely apologize. Instead, I'll show you my quotes!
"Those who do not know the precious things in life will never be happy." -Alex Flinn. This one's pretty self explanatory... yeah. (:
"But if you wanted something in life you had to go out and grab it, no matter what stood in your way." -Joanna Philibin. Whether it's going to college, Broadway, Harvard, or Paris, you have to own it! Do it, and do it all the way.
"I guess that's the point of it all. No one knows for certain how much impact we have on the lives of others. Oftentimes, we have no clue. Yet we push it just the same." -Jay Asher. If you haven't read 'Thirteen Reasons Why' by Jay Asher, please do. It is simply mind altering, at least it was to me. But this quote is one of my favorites! Everyone does have a significant impact on others. I really want to be a positive influence to anyone and everyone I see. You never know how far a little kindness can go!
"You gone have to ask yourself, 'Am I gone believe what them fools say 'bout me today?'" -Kathryn Stockett. This quote is from The Help, which is also a fantastic book and movie! I cried, but it's amazing. You really do have to ask yourself this. People are going to say things that aren't true, but it's your choice to believe it.
"The Truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, which is why it must be treated with great caution." -J.K. Rowling. What an interesting quote.. although very true...
"If you retain nothing else, always remember the most important rule of beauty which is: Who cares?" -Tina Fey. HAHAHA story of my life. Who cares if someone doesn't like my top. I do. Which really is all who matters. Bam.
"Have you ever heard somebody sing some lyrics that you've never sung before, and you realize you've never sung the right words in that song? You hear them and all of a sudden you say to yourself, 'Life in the Fast Lane? That's what they're saying right there? Why have I been singing 'wipe in the vaseline?' how many people have heard me sing 'wipe in the vaseline?' I am an idiot." -Ellen Degeneres. Once again... STORY OF MY LIFE. This simply says it all. Thank you Ellen.
"Until you know them and not just their 'type', you have no right to shun them. You have not looked for their beauty, their good. You have not seen the light in their eyes. Look hard enough and you will always find a light. You can even help it grow." -Rachel Scott. She was the first girl killed in the Columbine Shooting, and she wrote this in her journal. I strive to live by this quote everyday. It simply inspires me.
Well, I hope you enjoyed my little (HUGE) project! These quotes really do explain me. I love 'em! Hope you have a wonderful Labor Day tomorrow!
Just Trust Me..
Bekah, you are such an insightful girl. I can't wait to see what amazing things you do with your life. I know I'll be impressed!
