Wounded Warrior Project

I support the Wounded Warrior Project one hundred percent. This fantastic program focuses on Veterans that return from war wounded; both physical and mental.

Every soldier that comes home brings memories of war and battle with them, they may not develop PTSD or be injured in a physical way, but no one can erase the images, sounds, and the horrible experiences from their mind. It takes great courage to enlist in the Army and even greater courage and strength to march into battle to fight for your country.

Soldiers have done so much for us American citizens, and if they return injured in any way, we should strive to help them the best we can, and that is what the Wounded Warrior Project does. We can help them with Physical Therapy and other medical help or we could talk to them, so maybe they can relieve their brain of painful sights and memories.

As American Citizens, we should feel obligated to help the people that serve our country. The Wounded Warrior Project helps us accomplish that. I believe in Heroes.

War

War is scary, creating uneasiness is every citizen's stomachs
War is expensive, spending money we don't have
War is unhealthy, teaching kids it's okay to fight
War is cruel, killing people harshly
War is sad, dealing with loss
War is needed, fighting for freedom
War is expected, used since beginning of time
War is huge, exploding bombs
War is dictating, doing what is ordered of you
War is tearful, shedding tears for the lost loved ones

Book Review: The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner

Stephanie Meyer's The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner in my opinion, was stale. Looking forward to reading it was unnecessary; this book definitely was not as interesting as her Twilight Saga. The plot was okay, but the so-called "action" was not action at all.

For example, normally I cannot wait to read the next word, sentence, and paragraph of a book. Unfortunately, with this one, I couldn't wait to put it down. I definitely was not entertained; I inferred  this may happen, but I had to be difficult and ignore my inference.

The entire book wasn't a total drag; there were some highlights and interesting spots. For instance, towards the end of the book, a fight took place. That was very descriptive and lively.That one chapter did not make up for the whole book though.

Overall, The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner was not a great read. Stephanie Meyer disappointed me with this one.

9/11

I remember September 11, 2001 as clear as it was yesterday. I was in Mrs. Reels first grade class having silent reading time.

Suddenly, my teachers went insane, became scatter brained and panicked. The television went on and all day every student and teacher watched the repeating clips on CNN.

Most parents picked up their kids, the ones who were still there sat in shock and stared at the unbelievable attack. For days people were shaken and did not know what to think.

The attacks that took place that day, unfortunately, still affect us today. We may realize it, or we may not.
