Absent No More

The absent (and sometimes annoying) kid from my last post- well, if you can't figure it out from the title of this post, he is no longer absent. But he is still kind of annoying. I can't tell whether or not he appreciates the doughnut I saved him, but I doubt it would effect his behavior either way. You may be wondering what I find annoying about him. And I am not the kind of person who looks at someone for two seconds and proclaims they are annoying. So here are the annoying things he does. First of all, he will just walk up to my desk and start using my laptop without so much as asking for permission, or even telling me what he is about to do. So I will have to close my laptop whenever I am not near it, as long as he is in the room, from now on. Secondly, he has no respect for teachers and the rues they make. Nor, for that matter, does he respect personal space. Well, he is getting better at the latter part. Thirdly, I am going to stop numbering these reasons with words like "thirdly". He also makes inappropriate jokes sometimes. Now, I can ignore that, but when another, specific, kid is in the same room as him, they seem to constantly make obnoxious and inappropriate jokes. But those two kids aren't all bad. They are both decent people, especially when they are separated. One good thing about kids who behave annoyingly like that is this- they give me a good chance to practice putting up with that behavior.

Passion Is A Roaring Flame

All my life up until this year, I have tried different styles, different ways of living my life, different goals, to find what was right for me. But none of those styles or goals ever stuck for long. Why? Because they didn’t have passion behind them. And passion is what drives us to do what we do best. And to those who do big, great things, passion is a roaring flame that drives them to do great things. And that roaring passion takes anything in it’s way, and turns it into even more fuel. This year, I have found a goal, and a lifestyle built around it, that I am sure will stay with me until the day I die. My goal is to change the world, and not to a small scale. I want to make a difference, and a big one, and change the world on a worldwide scale. And the roaring flame of my passion can’t be put out by even the biggest of challenges, for with every challenge, and every day, it strengthens, and grows. And I believe that almost everyone out there has an untapped passion, waiting to be lit, and fueled. And I believe that if I keep on challenging my skills and talents, training them, and sharpening them all my life, starting now, I will eventually have the skill it takes to set aflame the untapped passions of millions of people, passion to do what they can towards a good goal, and not only keep the flames from dying, but strengthen them, until millions of people are contributing towards making the world a better place, by doing what they can. I believe that I will be the candle that sets the other candles ablaze, and lights up the world around it. My passion was set ablaze by the hatred of what makes me different, and causes me and my friends to be discriminated, and face many hardships nobody else has to face. The hatred of that has sparked the flame of passion toward making the world a better place. When that passion flame was just sparked, I just wanted to make people around me happy. And as it grew in strength, I wanted to end bullying and make others happy. Then the fire found tinder, and I wanted to make people happy, educate people, end bullying, and be a gentleman. And at this point, I want to change the world on a big scale. I can only imagine that by the time I can achieve my goal, the flame of my passion will be more than a flame, roaring like a lion and powerful like a raging grizzly, but grow to be not a flame but a tornado of fire, growing with everything in it’s way. Over the course of my life, things will change. Sad and exciting things will happen. But one thing that will never change is my passion. And when I die, my passion will inspire others to change the world as well, and carry on where I leave off. I will bring honor to my family name. So wish me luck.
