Childhood Impact

I remember when my greatgrandmother and greatgrandfather died and that has left a great impact on me.This was my first experience with death and I was only about eight years old at the time. Our family decided to drive to New York to go to the funeral. My greatgrandma had stomach cancer and greatgrampa had a stroke. They both went into the nursing home at the same day. Before this event, they both lived extremely independent and healthy lives. My grandmother was only in the nursing home for a short period of time before she died. My greatgrandpa, however, was not the same after the stroke. He had lost a good deal of memory and he lived in the nursing home for a few years before he eventually died from another stroke.
These two events changed my perspective concerning life and death. I now know that I must live my life to the fullest extent. The recent death of a family friend has helped me appreciate more the preciousness of life and my place in it. I will always remember what I have lost over the years, but also what I have gained from the experiences of my past.

Leprechauns

I have never really understood why Leprechauns always had to carry around a pot of gold. Wouldn't it just be easier to carry a large sum of money in a wallet or a credit card? What even confuses me more is that Leprechauns

are rumored to give that pot of gold to you if you catch them. How hard could it be to catch a two foot tall midgit that hauls around a pot of gold? That is where the story changes depending on who you ask. Some people believe that the pot of gold magically appears when you capture the Leprechaun while others insist that he simply carries the pot of gold around with him all the time. Personally, I think the the Irish made up the story of Leprechauns because they had a floundering tourist industry. But whichever situation is true, you sure won't see me sulking at the end of rainbows. I have more important uses of my time, like figuring out where in the North Pole Santa Clause lives....

St. Patrick Day

I am really looking forward to St. Patrick's Day. One reason why I am looking forward to St. Patrick's Day is that we get a day off school. I am planning to do several school assignments during that day in order to get ahead. Another reason why I am looking forward to St. Patrick's day is that my family is planning to something that day. I am not sure exactly what we are doing that day; my parents told me that it is supposed to be a surprise. I think we are probably going to Chicago like last year. I would really like to go see the White Sox stadium.
