The holocaust was such an awful time in our world’s history. This was when there was a mass murder of Jews, Gypsies, and mentally retarted people because they weren’t the “master race”, which I think is so stupid because everyone is equal and there is not one dominating ethnic group. I feel so bad that all those people had to go through this. There is absolutely no reason why they should have to.
I can’t believe how awful the concentration camps were and how they mistreated people. Also, I cannot even imagine living in hiding and not being able to speak in a normal voice like the Franks. That would be miserable. It so hard to think the way Anne had to live such a short life. But, it is so amazing how she made the best out of her time. She barely ever was pouting or down, she always made everything lively. Her hope and faith was always with her and she never let go of them. She is so inspiring to me. I wish I could live my life as happy as she did and I also wish I could make the best out of bad situations.
This was a horrible event in history. I hope something like this never happens again because nobody should have to go through it.

The thing that interests me the most would definately have to be fastpitch softball. Softball is so much fun however or whenever you play it. I play this sport at NYO during the Spring and Summer and for Lovett in the fall. The two positions that I love to play the most are pitcher and third base. I also love batting. The two things that make me happy in a game are striking people out and getting a great hit. At those two moments I feel so excited and pumped up because everyone is cheering and I know that I have helped my team get a step closer to winning the game.
Another great aspect of softball is you get to meet new people and become friends with those people. Personnally, I think the best time to play softball is during the Summer. Over the summer you can play on travel teams that go to different tournaments where you get to play teams from all over the state and some teams from outside the state. These tournaments are so fun because you get to be with your friends while playing softball. Even though these tournaments are all day long and tiring, I still enjoy them so much because I love playing this sport.
Softball interests me so much, what interests you?

The worst thing in the world is having the blues. But, for me it is very curable. When I’m not feeling that great, I crave candy, mainly chocolate. It tastes so good to me and it just magically makes me feel better. I can’t really explain it, but it just does. That just hits the spot on days when I am down in the dumps.
Music also lifts my spirits up when I’m feeling down. Something fun and lively always picks up my spirits. Country music usually does that for me. Especially artist like Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney, Carrie Underwood, and Brad Paisley to name a few. Up-beat hip-hop music is also a spirit lifter. Its so fun and loud, it can easily make me happy.
People can also pick me up when I’m down. People that I can trust like my mom, or a really good friend are the only ones that can do just that. They give me good advice and can always make me smile. Trustworthy people can also snap me back into my normal self. Another “person” in my family that makes me happy is my dog, Daisy. Every time I see her, she runs up to me and wags her tail so fast. I can always count on Daisy to make me feel better. These are some of the things that pick me up. What about you?
