7. GOOD DEED

Saturday had to have been the most exhausting but rewarding day of my life. A couple of my classmates and myself decided we wanted to lend a helping hand to Habitat for Humanities and help them build a home for a needy family. I don't believe we realized what we were getting ourselves into until it was to late.

I thought all they were going to have us do was remove debris and just keep the work area clean since we were a group of girls. Boy was I wrong. They had us working just like everyone else. There was one guy that wouldn't have any pity on us at all. He had myself and a student from Holmes Community College carrying eight feet long pieces of plywood from one place to another. At first it was real easy but after doing it for so long the wood started to get heavier and heavier. After we did that he had us putting the floor broads in.

It was so hot out there I thought I was going to drop dead. At one point the wind started blowing and it got real cloudy. I've never prayed that hard for rain but it never came. I think we were being teased.

My entire body is soar from all the hard work that we did and the heavy lifting. My mom asked me would I do it again. The answer is yes. It may have been hot and exhausting but it was all worth it because in the end a wonderful family will have a lovely home to call their own. And I can say I helped build it.

6. GAME DAY

This Saturday I attended the game with a group of my fellow students and eight kids from a local apartment complex. I have never seen kids so jumpy before in my life. They were running all over the place and yelling at everything. All I could wonder was were they like this with their mothers. One little girl stayed with the entire time we were there. With all the excitement we had a nice time. We got face paintings, including some of the teachers. Ate good food and even filled the kids with more sugar then they could handle and enjoyed a football game. I was exhausted by the time I got home but I will never forget that day.

5.MY FRIEND

I have a friend who is always talking about he needs love but every time he gets a girlfriend he cheats on her. He say that he doesn't feel whole with that person that she's not giving him everything he feel he deserves. He is very spoil, he's worst than a child. He whines like a baby when he can't get his way. I told him he's worst then a woman. I love him to death but sometimes he gets on my nerves. I told him that maybe he really don't know what he wants out of a relationship. I've known him for eight years and through those years he's had many girlfriends. When they break up he always use the same excuse for the reason why, "He didn't feel complete." I told him before he can love someone else he need to learn to love himself.

I hope and pray that one day he will find someone the right one to love him the way he deserves to be loved.
