Honesty

Honesty is one of the many values that can be worthwhile to contain. I admire people who are honest, those people who you can trust with anything. I also HATE those people that lie, cheat, and especially those people on the internet who will tell you anything that you want to know so they can get your money. I have had that happen to me twice in two months. I ordered an ipod off of the internet and waited the expected time that it should take too come. I waited, and waited, and waited, they said it would be here in 7-15 business days for it to come. I e-mailed the person and he never replied. We finally gave up waiting and trying to get a hold of the guy and filed a money back report. Our report was accepted and we got our money back. PayPal gave the money back but that guy still had the original money we had ordered with. I recently ordered another ipod and this person responded to all my emails until I asked, is it ever coming, he never responded. I wrote him and asked for a refund, he still hasn’t written me back. Why do people do that, I mean it is just mean. What if I ordered something for 1000 dollars and I couldn’t get my money back. It is just like I gave away my money to this guy with a picture on a website. The world has changed; people have grown more and more dishonest. On KSL there is an article that did a pole for high school students, it said that sixty-four percent of kids have cheated in the past year, and 93 percent of students said they are fine with their ethics and personal character. That means that ninety-three of the kids there are fine with cheating if they have. I can’t believe honesty nowadays. It is hard to find an honest person.

Reappear

Don’t you hate when you drive by something for the thousandth time and you just notice that there has been a certain store on the road. For example a couple months ago I was driving down Gentile and saw an owl on the top of the building I told my mom to turn around. When we turned around I pointed it out and my mom told me that it has been forever, it was a fake. That was the first time that is had seen the owl, I never noticed it before.

Getting Old In Time

Getting old; what an interesting concept. Time flies by, leaving you in the dust looking back at all the trials and memories. I am only 14; time has seemed to pass by leaving me looking back on all I have done experienced. Christmas is here already and it seems that just last month I was just tearing the colorful wrapping paper of the presents that were given to me. It seemed like just yesterday that I was watching the many countries battle it out for the gold. Time passes the exact opposite of what we would want it to. If you are having fun and never want it to end, it will be time to go as soon as it starts, but if you are sitting in your worst class (the kind that you are entertained on how fast the clock moves) time moves like a turtle you stare at the clock and it never changes. Time is a natural phenomenon, it moves at its own pace and you can’t do anything to change. WOW!!! I have really got off on what I was going to talk about at least what I wrote about was somewhat related to what I was told to write about.
