truth?

My last independent reading book was a nonfiction book and I liked it a lot. I think that sometimes non fiction books can be more interesting because it actually happened and, in my case, I was just in awe that things like this actually happen. However, I don’t know if the main girl is crazy or what, but she talks to and sees spirits and she claims to have visions of the future that come true. I am not sure how much of it was actually true and how much of it was her trying to cope with the abuse, but now with is a well known psychic. In the book she says that she saw FDR’s murder before it even happened and she saw her moms friend die and he brother die, and they all came true. I don’t really believe in stuff like that but it was fun to read about. If it is true than that is just absolutely incredible. But honestly that would be the worst thing ever. To know how some people are going to die and not being able to do anything about it would be like torture. However, it helped her get through and that’s all that really matters, whether it’s true or not.

The End

23 more school days and I will no longer be in high school, probably one of the most bittersweet feelings of my life so far. I am so ready to graduate and be done with all the petty-ness of high school but leaving most of my friends is going to be awful. To think that I will lose touch with a majority of the people I know is unreal. Only a few of my really close friends might possibly go to WKU with me but other than that everyone is splitting up. I am excited to make new friends, but it is hard to say goodbye. I know that I will see them again during breaks or if I come home at the same time as them and things like that, but I am still going to cry a lot. However, I could not be more excited about going to college and starting a new era of my life, one that some people say is the best time of my life. I just have to get though these last few weeks of school and then I am free, which is much easier said than done. I feel no motivation at all to do anything in school, but I just have to keep pushing.

child abuse book #4

My third and final outside reading book is the non-fiction one and, this may be morbid, but it is my favorite one so far. Most people think that it is weird that I chose child abuse as my topic, because it is not an enjoyable topic to talk about but I actually (not sure how to put this without sounding crazy) love reading about it. I find child abuse absolutely discussing and I don’t see how anyone could hurt his or her own child. But the reason that I like reading about it is because it is so inspiring to me how the kids manage to go through it. Obviously some of them can’t and some of them fail but the stories of the ones that do are truly amazing. The one that I am currently ready, although I’m not very far, is extremely heart breaking and gross. I will read exerts of it out loud to whoever happens to be around and they get freaked out and wonder why I would read something like that, or choose it for my topic. I think the main reason I like reading about depressing and awful things is because I actually stay interested and don’t get bored. I know that it is weird and that I am weird, but I am glad I chose the topic I did.
