My Haunted House

This week I have been given a topic to write about, and the topic is a experience I had at a Haunted House. The problem is I have never really been to a real Haunted house I have only made them. In 8th me and my brother decided that we were going to make a haunted house.  The process is very tiring but it is well worth it. First you have to hang up black plastic sheeting, then you have to the add the scary bits. For example the blood and the grave stones. After you have finished that you have your own haunted house. Scarying people is by far the most fun you can have on Halloween. For example my friend would jump out of some of the black plastic and scare people to know end. While I would scare people by hiding inside the black plastic and hold out my hands and touch them as they went go by. Overall this is one of the shining moments of my childhood and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

A Vacation to Remeber

Today I want to talk about my vacation this summer. This summer I went on vacation to Europe to see friends and family and to overall just have fun. First we went to visit my granddad in Reading England. After we spending 3 days in England with my granddad, we caught a flight to Paris. We Spent 3 days in Paris visiting the Eiffel tower, the Louvre, and the Sacre Coeur to name a few. After staying in Paris for 3 days, my brother and I went to are friends apartment in Fountianbleu Paris. We spent a week embracing French culture with a truly great friend, this was probably my favorite part of the whole vacation. After a week in Fountianbleu, we reunited with our parents and caught the Eurostar train to Germany visit my Dads friend who lives in a small village called Neufarm. We spent 2 days in the village, attending his villages festival where we had incredibly fresh sausages and meat and even better beer, their we met a wealth Scottish man who bought me, my brother, and my dad many drinks. After staying in the village, my parents rented a car and we traveled around Bavaria and even Austria, to see the Alps. After a couple of days in the Alps, we traveled to Munich to see the BMW world and the BMW Museum, as well as the Dachau the concentration camp. After staying in Germany for a while we took a flight back to England. In England we visit lots of family, after 4 days in England we finally flew back to the states. This trip was amazingly fun I would not trade it for the world.

Being an Individual

I think this week I want to talk about what makes us who we are. This can be troubling to a lot of people my age. It was really hard to figure out who I was in the world it takes a lot of soul searching, but in the end I found myself again. It is really easy to get lost in what you want to be and not who you really are. The most important thing to remember is that you are an individual their is no need to be something your not. The best part about being yourself is you can dress how you want, act how you want and embrace your religion, gender or sexuality, you get to be you. It is the most important thing in life to respect and love your self ,and to have fun being yourself. Also don't just choose friends  because they are popular ,find friends who have the same ideals, morals, and someone you can trust. And remember to have fun that is the most important message of this entire post. Everyday just try and do something that you enjoy. Try to stay positive as well, even if you had a rough day try to find one part of your day that was enjoyable, and before you know it you will be think a little bit better about that day. And everyone always tells me that they are not good at anything, from experience this is completely wrong. Everyone on this planet is good a something maybe you just haven't found it yet. And always remember to stand up for what you believe and always for your own opinion don't take them from someone else. Sorry about this article being a bit preachy, but it is just something I need to talk about cause it is extremely important to remember to be who you are.
