Companions.

"I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude. "

Henry David Thoreau 

Solitude is the best companion when it comes to thinking. It helps you spread your mind, it helps you cool down in a time when you are angry. But it is also the worst companion. It can hurt you emotionaly, and make you hurt yourself physicly when it comes to depression. I belive solitude is my best and worst companion. Its there in the good and bad times. And even if you are with people does not mean you're not going through solitude. It is the best and worst companion aat the best and worst of times.

Inspiration from the riders!

We had to watch a short film in my advisory class, it was about a group of men from Rwanda. The group of men had to rise up from nothing to become "Professional Riders." This story inspired me to reach for higher goals that may seem impossible. Mainly because the mentor of this group was an Professional Rider, but also an Ex-Criminal, he was surprisingly the best mentor these men could have. I have also realized to "not judge a book by its cover." These men had to face obstacles  for example coming to America and having to face the wind while they we're riding. And that made me realize that they we're also on a "Hero's Journey."
They had a hard journey, but it all was worth it when the star rider of the team won in the top eight, and for the chance to compete in the Olympics  but all because a humble teammate gave him his bike and wasted his chance to win, but he did win, the team won.

New Book, New Discovery.

In class we had to write a book review, that got me thinking about what I really look for in books. I have realized that I chose my book because it was a thrilling story, I also realized I love mystery books, I like suspence books, and horror books. One of my favorites is Skeleton Creek  (the whole series.) And then I realized that I am a mystery, that my life is a mystery. I have discovered that my life works like this, if theres a thrilling mystery to be discovered I'll be intrested. If theres a project at school where we have to solve a mystery you bet your  money I'll be intrested. Main point is we all like to work with what we are intrested in, if theres no intrest we won't like it. I feel like if I want to like a project I have to incorporate my way of working and my intrests with that project, even if it is "Impssible." That could be another osticle in my "Hero's Journey."
