One Medium Suitcase

1. A knife- I could use this for self defense. If I needed to make food I could open something that I couldn't with my hands or skin some animal.
2. Deodorant- I cant stand the smell of body odor. I always feel uncomfortable when around people when I smell bad.
3. My wallet- I need it to organize my money and credit cards. It holds everything that identifies me.
4. A bible- It keeps me sane and relaxed whenever I read it. I always need to be in touch with God.
5. Tooth brush and paste- I have to keep my teeth clean. Its comfortable and rotting teeth is unattractive.
6. Zippo Lighter- I need it to make fires to cook with. I can use it for light.
7. Clothes- I will pack as many pairs of clothes as will fit in what space is left. Id rather not wear the same clothes two days in a row especially three.
8. A large bar of soap- It could last longer than a bottle of soap. I wouldn't use someone else soap.
9. A bottle of water- It can be refilled. I hate being dehydrated.
10. A hoodie- Incase it gets cold. It could also be used as comfort when sleeping.

Yellow Star

1. Getting my drivers license- This experience was challenging and really stressful but it was still very rewarding.
2. First day on the job- I had many responsibilities at once and it made me more responsible.
3. The first time eating at Lai Lais- This experience was heavenly and gave me hope that there was actually good food in the world.
4. First time out of the country (Mexico)- I felt threatened by everyone that I saw and it made me thankful that I lived in The U.S.
5. First time paintballing- Iv never had such an adrenaline rush in my life and I felt as if I was in the middle of a life or death war.
6. Playing varsity football freshman year- I learned a lot quicker how the game was and it made me realize that I am not even compared to the upperclassmen.
7. Going to track state- It was the most fun I with my friends last year.
8. Going to an NBA game- It was the biggest loudest basketball stadium I've been too and it seemed comparable to some college football stadiums.
9. Tearing my ACL- Made me realize that I wasn't indestructible and it has helped me be more careful and it has helped me develop a good workout routine.
10. My first prom- It was the greatest night ever so far.

Gone but never forgotten

Im in highschool now and im living up the greatest days of my life but sadly they're limited. Theres so many things that im going to miss when I grow up. Twenty years from now im affraid of losing any of my greatest friends but theres a good chance that each of our lives will take seperate roads and possibly never see eachother again. Im going to miss the great memories that are being made every second no matter what I am doing and im going to remember every bit of it. I dont look forward to growing up and leaving this place because im not sure I will be able to live on my own. I dont want to grow up and start my life because I like having all of the many options on where I can lead my life and being careless about anything. I will never have the feeling of being free for the first time like when you get your first car and can taking advantage of your parents wallet and im going to miss it. Im going to miss knowing that no matter what we do, it would be alright because we're too young and stupid to understand. Im going to miss having the excuse of not having to get a job because of school. Im going to miss getting to play all sports and being an athlete. Im going to miss being crazy and immature with my friends. Im going to miss dancing at prom and homecomings. Im sure when I get older im going to need the extra money so ill probably get rid of my video games and other cool valuables that are important to me now. Im going to miss the music of my highschool days always playing on the radio. Twenty years from now I can see myself having a good job, wife, and kids but right now I like not having to worry about all that. Im going to miss flirting with the girls and dating of course. For as boring as adulthood seems im surprisingly going to miss all of the drama and rumors and all of that good stuff that I get caught up in school because its what keeps things interesting in school and I just wish I wrote everything down. Highschool parties are always the best and are where most of the memories are made and im probably going to miss them the most. Im going to look back on all of this some day and im going to laugh my head off over the stupid crazy things we did and all of the heartbreaks and drama. Right now me and my friends are just creating stories for our children and grandchildren and the one thing im looking forward too is the smile it puts on their faces.
