I feel...

As you may have noticed it wasn't long before I unpublished my last entry. I didn't feel that the public needed to read it. It felt more like a personal note than anything. The other reason is because I didn't know if a certain person would talk to me before it got to late so I'd post an entry in hope of a response and motivation. That of which I did recieve a response and decided to take it down.

I want to also thank all my faithful readers lately for all their prayers and support in every way. The comments you people make make me feel all better when I had a not so good day. I am going to try not to be soo negative for now on and forgive me if I am. Just let me know if you are tired of hearing all this negativity and I'll stop and rethink, finding the positives about the day. I am trying to go back to my old self in that perspective.

On with the days events now. The 8th grade had an early lunch today at 11:05 and then went to the Forum to see Paperclips. After hearing that it was about the holocaust I thought it'd be like a history lesson from a book. Quite the contrary though! The title Paperclips was a symbol for each person who died because of Hitler and the Holocaust. I cried when I saw the people that survived and after I listened to parts of their speaches and the students feelings about them. I had never heard anything about the Holocaust in my life. I didn't know what it was, when it was, who did what to whom, or where it all was. A middle school in Tennessee decided to research this horrific event and one student asked how many was 6 million. So after some research they decided to do paperclips because of the history that lies behind it. When the holocaust was going on people wore paperclips to represent who they were. Theres a lot of of detail, you might just wanna look into it yourself. So anyway, the school wrote to many people asking for paperclips. In the end they recieved over 11 million paperclips. Some of which were from Bill Cosbey, Bill Clinton, Jim Carey, and people thanking Anne Frank. Because of this I now have a desire to read the diary of Anne Frank. I never wanted to read the book because I always thought it was just a diary about WW2 but I might actually do some looking into it.

With that I'm going! my lips are chapped! see ya! loves to Dolly and Laura and Jen! xoxoxo
