What does St. Patrick's Day mean to you?
St. Patrick's Day is a yearly holiday celebrated on March 17. It is named after Saint Patrick, the most commonly recognized patron saints in Ireland. Over the years to color green is associated with this day. Saint Patrick used the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity.
On this day, it is a normal day for most of us. Just like every other day, we attend school. The color green fills the halls. We wear the color green, for good luck. If you don't have green on, you might expect to get pinched by our classmates.
Today we need to think about all the things that are lucky in our life. We need to realize that we are very lucky. We have so much to be thankful for.

She Said Yes - Book Review
She Said Yes is a touching book by Misty Bernall. Misty tells the story of her 17 year old daughter, Cassie, who was killed in the Columbine High Schools massacre.
The book starts out from Misty's point of view. Cassie got stuck in the wrong group of friends. She had struggled with having true friends during high school.
One day changed the Bernall's family forever. Cassie had gone to school just like every other day. When two fellow students burst in, Cassie was hiding under a school table, hands clasped in prayer. They held a gun to her head and asked if she believed in God. She said yes. Before she could answer a second question of why, they shot her.
This was a very inspirational book. I would recommend it to everyone. It shows the courage one teenage girl had. She stood up for what she believed and stuck to her morals.
Everyone will remember the horrific event that took place at Columbine High School. Many family's and groups of friends will never be the same, without their loved ones.

Olympic-size commitment
I would make such a commitment, like the people in the Olympics do, for my future. I want to have a great future ahead of me. I will keep determination all the way through college. I will persevere through all the hardships. I will remind myself it will all be worth it in the long run, when I feel like giving up. I want to have a great job and make lots of money. To have a bright future, I will have to work for it.
My mom is someone who has made such a pledge. She has been on her own since she was 17. She lost her mother to breast cancer. I look up to my mom, she is my hero. She did everything by herself. She has done everything for my family and has taught me so much. I would not be the person I am today without her.
