left at stone mountain

When I was about five or six, my sister came into town and we went to Stone Mountain.  She was in charge of looking after me.  When we were there, we went to the top of the mountain in one of those little car thingies. So we went to the top and went in that little store and looked around and bought some things.  After we were done, we started walking down the mountain.  We got to the bottom and went to the vending machines that are right there.  I got something after everybody else got something, but after they got theirs, they left, leaving me by the vending machine all by myself.  For some reason, they didn’t look for me for like 10 minutes.  I was running around the park crying and yelling.  In fact, I don’t even think they came looking for me. I think they heard me and came to the rescue.  After they found me, they claimed that they were worried sick, but I know the truth. 

theistic evolution

My debate group was theistic evolution. We went against Intelligent design first. ^_^ And we killed them... figuratively of course. They had the same brain thought process as a squid. It was refreshing. Next, we went against Evolution. That was a bit harder, but we won. Top dog, as Tina says. Because of these debates, I was able to conclude what I believe in. I believe in Theistic evolution. That means, God saw over the evolution process and... well, helped it along. Like a shepard. Cause, you know, in the bible he was called a shepard. Fun stuff.

We realized that the order in which God created the earth, according to the Bible, lines up with the science books theory of evolution.

LOVE

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No not just for some but for everyone.

Lord, we don't need another mountain,
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross,
Enough to last till the end of time.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.

Lord, we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, lord, if you want to know.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.

No, not just for some, oh, but just for everyone.

My two sides

I want to make good grades

I won't make good grades

I have to make good grades

I will go to summer school

I am doing well so far

I am failing one class

I want to go to college

It will take a while

I want to start a family

I won't start a family

I want to get a good job

I won't get a good job

I will retire and be home with my family

I won't be able to retire

I will die a happy death

I will die in a car accident

contradictions

an example of a contradiction in my life is when my mom tells me to clean my room and i think it is clean but she tells me that it's not. 

Do parents know what is best for their children more so than the children themselves?

i do not believe that parents know what is best for their children.  parents might think they know what is best, but they do not necessarily know what the child is going through at school and with their social life.  if a parent tries to command their child, the child will want to get further and further away from the parent.  believe me, i know from experience.  my mom tries to control me all the time and i would love nothing more than to get away from her for a year or two.  my dad on the other hand,  he lets me do most of the stuff i want and when he doesn't, he has a reasonable explanation of why i can't.  with my mom, it's always "because i said so" or something like that.  my dad gives me reason to pass my classes, i can do stuff if i pass, my mom says do it or you will be grounded for life.  if you always do what your parents say, you will probably be unpopular and nobody will like you.  you will be shrouded from the realities of life, you need to take risks in life or life isn't worth living.

Personaly, I don't believe in evolution.  I believe that there is a god out there somewhere and he put us on Earth.

aternative energy sources.

Alternative energy sources are all over the place.  We may not realize it but they are.  We have solar energy, hydro electricity, wind power, and many more.  If we can harnes the power of all these, we will not need gasoline at all.  The united states alone uses 25% of the worlds oil.  If we can use the sun and the wind and the water
