I am very sentimental person. It is as simple as that. Under my bed I have multiple boxes labeled ‘Memory Box’ with an accompanying year. Over the years I have collected and stored mementos from trips, tickets from events, and notes that I’ll want to read again when I’m sitting in my rocking chair. Items such as a captains hat from our seventh grade Charleston trip and a blue feather boa from a friend’s bar mitzvah fill these boxes and spill out the sides.
Occasionally I open the box and dig through; looking at pictures, reading letters, and feeling the memories as they come flooding back. Some people may think that I’m too young to be this sentimental about earlier years of my life, and that I reminisce too often about the past. But I think that you’re never too young to remember your past and use it to enhance your future.

The music is cued, a general sway comes around the group, and in an instant, this group goes from smiling doo wop-ers to beautiful five part harmony. No one really knows what's going on, but we all pretend like we do. Three rehearsals, and now a performance. Six semi-memorized songs, sixteen nervous singers, and a gaggle of audience all anxiously awaiting what is in store. We sing the right notes, we rock out the last-minute choreography, and bring the house down. Joseph Beth is pleased. We have little kids breaking it down, adults stopping their shopping to video tape, and a very sweet woman with a mental handicap dancing along. It goes off without a hitch. It has always been said that the TV show Glee is unrealistic. And I would always agree. No one can just break out into harmony and dance with very little previous work. And yet, I feel like we just did. We may not have just picked up the music, but three rehearsals doesn't get a group very far. These three got us a show. I am so fortunate to be a part of this fabulously talented group of people, and I feel so much pride of my membership in Starlight Singers.

psychopathic murderers!
Annoyances: lack of time
Accomplishments: grades
Confusions: politics
Sorrows: less fortunate
Dreams: success
Idiosyncrasies: small
Risks: driving
Beloved Possessions, Now and Then: wallet, action figures
Problems: procrastination
Originally my fear was people hiding in the dark, but I now realize it's the crazy mass murderers that get my heart racing. My dad always said that if someone ever tried to get into our house, the alarm would go off and they would run off, unable to steal a thing. But in my silent mind, I would counter argue, that our ADT alarm would be useless against someone out to kill and nothing else. Then, I imagine all these scenarios of how I would escape out of my window, pretend to be asleep, or attempt to fight back. There was also the option of my dad and I ganging up on the guy. I really need to keep a golf club in my room. My umbrella doesn't really do the trick. The scariest part is that these people don't care about the law or the consequences and will act without reason or logic. Maybe they'll sneak into your basement and hide, only to kill the next person down the stairs. Just talking about this makes me scared. I need to go find a battering item now. My desk lamp just will not do. It doesn't help that one of my close friends who will not be named (ustin-jay) is now into horror movies. Great.

Confusion: Football. I am convinced this is the most confusing sport in the history of forever. There have been about a bajillion and a half people who have tried to explain it to me, but when I start watching it I still have no idea what is going on. At games, I have to watch the rest of the crowd to know when to cheer because I have no clue when we do something good or bad. Also, when dance team is cheering on the track I am one of the people who is supposed to start cheers. Half of the cheers I don't know when to start because I don't know what they mean! (Example: "first and ten, do it again.") Although I am utterly confused by what is actually happening on the football field, I do enjoy going to the games. I love Henry Clay football games and I have been to almost every home game since my freshman year. I went to my first UK football game last year with a group of friends and we had a blast. The atmosphere of the games is more fun than the actual game for me.
