What's really important

I would not like to be famous for several reasons. First, I think that fame is really only something that lasts a short time. I hope that my legacy will be through my children. By this I mean that what is important to me—my values, my faith, my character—will be remembered by my children. That is enough for me. Second, I like to have my privacy. Famous people are constantly followed to see what they are doing. I wouldn’t like the feeling that I can’t be anonymous if I wanted to be. Finally, I think there are more important things in life than pursuing fame. An important thing for me is getting a hug from one of my children and having him or her tell me, “I love you Mom.” That means my life is good.

My Best Friend--My Sister

The person I talk to most often when I have a problem is my twin sister, Suzy. Suzy is my best friend, and we have gone through many of our life experiences together. It doesn’t matter if my problem is big or small, she will always listen to me. I can call her anytime--day or night. She knows me so well that she can always say the right thing to help me or make me feel better. She will never judge me in a bad way. I am so thankful to have my sister in my life.

Happy Thought Indeed!

My favorite book is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I like this book for several reasons. First, I enjoy the romance. The two main characters, Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy, begin the story disliking each other. However, through getting to know each other, they fall in love. This is really surprising, and at different parts of the story, I still wonder if they will ever get together! Second, I enjoy the humor. Jane Austen describes many situations in a very humorous way. Even though the story was written 200 years ago in England, I still laugh at the funny parts. Finally, I enjoy the details. I can read it many times and still find something new that I had not noticed before. In conclusion, Pride and Prejudice is a book that I enjoy reading over and over.
