In this section of the diary, Anne talks about how she feels that she has two sides. One being the wild, self willed, laughing on the ground kind of girl, while the other side is a quiet, scared, serious, and emotional little girl. She says how it is hard to show the quiet, calm side because she is afraid that people will think its an act of her wild side. The truth is I think she realized that she never gave the serious side a chance and pretended like it wasnt there, and in a way that caught up with her and killed her inside. I think we all are like Anne in that sometimes we want to be the person we know other people will like because we are scared of what judgement will come out of when you act like your real self. Society can be really hard to face sometimes when you feel like nothing is good, you dont have much self-esteem, or like Anne you haven’t had the best of luck inside yourself, but sometimes you have to look futher inside yourself and find that little piece of hope and faith that the Franks, Van Daans, and Mr. Dussel somehow found. Hope is like the wind, you can’t see it but you can feel it inside and out, and that one feeling can open up alot of doors.

I am interested in visting Paris. This seems really random but it is some where I have always wanted to go since I first heard about it when I was little. I take french and love the language and we just recently talked about Paris in class. It sounds like such a pretty place and I have heard it has great shopping, cute clothes, and all the fashion. I love shopping so hopefully one day I will get to visit this city and shop alot. Paris also has some of the most beautiful, famous monuments in the world and that is so cool to me.The French do things so differently then Americans, and I want to expierence that. I have thought about living in Paris for a year or maybe studying abroad there in High School. I just want to go there so bad. Some people like Paris, others don’t, but I really hope that I will get to go soon and see what its like for myself. My mom talked about going this summer and so I am excited and hope that sticks in her mind. Another thing that Paris has are cafes. I have not eaten alot at cafes in the U.S because Americans are always on the go, but they sound so cute wiht delicious food. Thats the other thing food there is really good. I hope soon I will get to visit Paris but until then I wil just keep imagining a beautiful city.

Have you ever had a moment or time in your life where it feels like a huge turning point in your life or just a rare beautiful moment? Well this weekend when I went to a young life/wildlife weekend I had the time of my life and saw one of the most amazing things in my life. I had a bunch of close friends in my cabin along with three encouraging, loving, funny and helpful leaders. Our speaker was Tom Combs and his message, unlike numerous others I had heard, made me decide that I really wanted to now start to connect with God and follow in his word. That night the message spoke to me, each person got to go sit somewhere in the camp and just have a quiet time. It was cool weather and where I was sitting had a small waterfall nearby. I also had a view of the miles and miles of beautiful, numerous stars and a midnight blue sky that seemed endless. Along with opening up that weekend I also had the time of my life with my friends and all the activites we did. I just didnt want to leave when I saw the big charter buses arriving. The bus ride was a good 4 and a half hours but I happily got through it laughing, dancing, and singing the whole ride home. It was a great expierence and I cant wait untill next year and hopefuly when I am older to become a leader of young life/wildlife. What a weekend at Windy Gap.

I am the one who...
In a room full of people will try to get my friends and family to laugh. One of the many things I enjoy is watching people laugh and having a good time and that makes me happy. I also will laugh at anything because I love to laugh and talk. I guess this says about me that I am all about fun and will do anything to get people laughing or just laugh myself. Whenever I am with certain friends we laugh till we cry and then keep laughing. It makes me feel good to see people having such a good time and enjoying myself too.
I also am picky whether I am in my room or at a party that there will be music on. Music is one of my favorite things and I couldn’t imagine living without it. Song lyrics say the words that we cannot and a lot of times help you understand things or sometimes make you feel better about something. I think this says about me that I love to express myself in the form of music and sounds. I hate awkward silences and no sound wherever I am so, that could also be another reason for me enjoying music.
Another thing about me is I love things to match. If things don’t match I almost just want to go off and change those things. I guess this says about me that I am organized and I like things to flow and work together to create something great or matching in my case. When I was little my mom always made me wear matching clothes and I was so mad at her because I wanted to be cool and wear non-matching clothes. Now I appreciate that she made me wear matching clothes because I cant stand non-matching things weather its clothes or anything else of that matter.
So there you have it. Those are just some of the things that make me unique. I hope you enjoyed learning about me and I cant wait to learn about other people that could have the same things in common as me.
