I feel like I'm still sitting in my room talking to my stuffed animals.
That's how much of a response I'm getting to this blog.
It's kinda insulting.
According to my stats, I have 104 page views, but no comments.
I'm really insulted.
But I'm gonna keep writing, because it is a welcome respite from Bible class.
My bible class is really hard to focus in. I take maybe 2 notes per class, and pay like no attention.
Sorry, Mommy.
It's the truth.
Ya know, I might as well just address these posts to you, if you're the only one to read them.
Okay, onto the next topic.
Have you guys heard of TedTalks?
It's a thing that I guess a guy called ted started.
But anyways, there was a kid named Sam Berns on it about a month ago. His video is truly inspiring.
He has progeria, a condition that causes his body to age 8 times faster than normal. He had such a positive outlook on life, but sadly, he died last Friday.
Because of his positivity, he had so many opportunities in life that if he hadn't been born with progeria he probably wouldn't have had. For example, a dream of his was to March with his high school marching band while playing the snare drum. The problem was that the snare drum and harness weighed 40 pounds together. Sam only weighed 50. Alongside an engineer, his family worked to make his dream a reality. In the end, Sam along with his team of his family and an engineer, managed to produce a snare drum harness that weighed only 6 pounds. Because of this drive, he was able to accomplish his dream.
The Sunday after he died, Sam was supposed to be an honorary captain of the New England Patriots. He had been friends with the owner, who loved Sam for his positivity. Sam was battling pneumonia and had been staying in the hospital, but everyone expected him to beat this.
He had already lived to age 17, 4 years older than most children with progeria live to. But still, his death came as a surprise to his family.
I strongly suggest you go watch Sam Berns on TedTalks because he talks about his philosophy and guide to a happy life.
But enough of the serious stuff!
By the way, I watched that video during my JS class. Aren't you happy, Mommy? All that tuition being paid to watch YouTube videos for 44 minutes. (We watched another videos afterwards and also discussed it)
So, again! Enough of the serious carrots!
I'm updating my Guide to my Life (GTML) and will hopefully post a video later tonight!
I will also probably end up posting again in here.
What? It's therapeutic.
See, Mother? I don't need a therapist. I just need my blog and camera.
But, anyways, robot spammers!
