Reflection

Today, in my freshman seminar class we talked about dying and death. I don't remember the name of the person who came up with this theory, but basically it is the stages of dying and death: Denial, Anger, Barganning, Depression, and Acceptence. One can skip stages or be stuck in one stage for a prolonged period of time. I think the reason why death is so difficult to deal with is because trying to forget someone you love, is like trying to remember someone you never met.
We came to the conclusion that is best to say how much you appreciate the ones that sorround us instead of having the regrets of never telling them how we fell after they are gone. Death is the end of our existence, but think of what imprint you want to leave after you are gone? Say what you feel needs to be said to your love ones because life is a once in a lifetime opportunity after we are gone we can't ever come back. The only thing that will live on are the memories that others have of you and that you have of others. How do you want to be remembered?
The end will inevitably come and when it does, one might ask, did I deserve to have the privilege of being alive? There is only one life for everyone we must care for our own life and others’ because when the end comes we cannot go back in time and correct our mistakes, vindicate our sins, or say “I am sorry” to the ones we hurt. Life is hard, but what is even harder is wasting the chance to live life to the fullest.
There are no absolutes for something so relative as a human life. There are no rules for something so gentle as a heart.--Hugh Prather--

College, What a wonderful place!!!

Well, I have had my first round of test and I fair pretty well. I got an 84 on my first Bio test and a 74 on my Psy test, but I been doing the extra credit projects so my grade will improve from about five to ten points. So far I have written five papers taken two test and a quiz. Oh yea, and who can forget? I have done lots and lots of reading sounds like fun huh? Actually, there is more to college then all the work I am talking about, you have total freedom you can do whatever you want ranging from studing to partying or just staying up late talking to your friends about random subjects and eating the mediocrer cafeteria food. Is nothing compared to the food my mom makes back home. I miss the food. Those anyone know where I can find a Cesar's taco here in Austin? Until next time take care and keep working hard for your goals and dreams, remember the words of Ghandi,Be the change you want to see in the world!
