The Christmas Experience

This Christmas Break, my family is going to be very active. Although we are not going to visit our cousins in other states, they are coming to visit us. We still have to put up the lights and get a tree for our house. With decorations needed quickly, getting ready for our cousins' visit over the break will be fun. For Christmas I want many things. Firstly, I want to have fun with my family, and win at everything I do, since my family is very competitive. I do not really want any specific present this year, and I always want my presents to be a surprise. With a surprise waiting at Christmas time, I feel like I am always excited to see what it will be. Our cousins are coming in on Christmas Day, which can allow us to get together from Christmas to the New Year. All of the things that we will do over the break is still unknown, but it will be fun no matter what the activity.

College Dreams

I am a high school student at Life School, and plan to move on to college one day. By going to college, I believe that I can accomplish many goals in my life. Getting a well paying job, becoming successful in life, and making friends that will be by my side for the rest of my life. I believe that I am going to college for myself, but sometimes it feels like my parents are pushing me to achieve success. This can be stressful, but in the end, I see that college is the best choice for the next step in my life. When choosing the college right for me, there are a few things that would help me choose. A smaller sized, christian college with a lower tuition that most colleges would be the most fitting for me. This is because this type of college can become very cheap with scholarships involved, which can keep my focus in life on goals and not finances. My peers that have recently gone to college can be the best source for my college experience, but it is always nice for an elder to help me with my final decisions. College, as I stated earlier can help my life stay on track for some future goals. With a good job, and financial security in life after college, this can be a big step in my life.
