One of the SUCCESSFUL letters

To me the one letter that was most important to me would have to be the first U in sUccessful.

the reasons why it was the most important to me is because i stands for Unique and I like that fact that everyone is different.

the reasons are as follows:

1. EVERYONE is Unique and Special
2. if everyone was the same life would be so BORING!!!!
3. There is no other Holly in the world that is just like me
4. everyone is different no matter who you are or what you are like and that sounds cool and it makes everyone special in there own way.

I have come up with a really cool saying that i like and it is this

" Everyone is stupid in there own special way"

it means a few things

1.  that everyone is stupid and no one person is perfect
2. that everyone is different
3. that everyone is special
4. that there are no 2 people that are exactly alike :)

Admiration

If I could say one thing that i admire the most about my parents it would have to be the fact that They are always there for me and will support me in what ever I do weither it is marching Band, horseback riding or anything else. I know that they will support me and try to help me compelet whatever my goal in the activity is. Also, they will do there best to help me in that activitiy.  That is what I would choose if I could say one thing that I admire the most about my mom and dad and why I admire that Fact about them.

Pet Peeve's

My Pet Peeve's are

1. Loud Noises and sudden actions while trying to work, Because when I am trying to finish something like homework quickly it is really annonying when other people around you are being loud and well annonying to you.
2. Seeing people being mean to each other, because I don't like others when they are mean to each other over something that is not important like favorite things or other things like that.

Music Centered

In the Center of my Wheel was   to complete all homework before doing anything else.

the type of music that I listen to is Calm and peaceful music like 'All the Pretty Little Horses' by Kenny Loggins.

yes, I do think that the songs that I listen to do relate to one of my principles because I don't like to wait to the last minute to do something and they keep me from getting so stressed when I have a lot of homework.
