How important is honesty to you? Is it more important than kindness? Share a story of a time you or someone you know was not honest and it caused problems or was 'too honest' and it caused problems.
I think that being honest is very important. If someone is being honest, then they are also being kind, even if it means hurting the persons felings because then they are not living in a lie.
All the time my sister will ask me if there is: something on her face, if her hair is straight enough, or her clothes match.....ect. Every time I tell her the truth like "theres a wavy spot in the back" she freaks out and says "I just spent 30 minutes straightneing my hair!!!" but then if I tell her that it looks really good, she questions me and says "are you sure?" then asks my mom. Every time I am honest with her she just doesnt believe me bcause thats not what she wants to hear.
My best friend, she always tells me if there is something wrong, or something doesnt look good. Thats what I love about her is that she isnt scared to tell me something like that and I end up not walking around all day looking like a loser. since I know that she can tell me, I can tell her stuff like that too, and then we dont have to be worried about anything all day.
When someone is honest with me, I hae more trust in them and i consider it kind that they tell me the truth, when lying might make me feel better for a little bit but then it is unkind to lie to them just so they dont get embarrased or something like that.

The world is ending. There are natural disasters happening everywhere. You know that soon you will be stranded in your house with only the food left in your cupboards. You make a mad dash to the grocery store but everyone there is in such chaos that you know you'll only have time to grab one item before escaping with your life. What item of food do you grab?Describe what the food is, how long you'll wait to eat it, what it will feel like to know you're eating it for the last time. Will you share with your family? Will you hide it away until there's nothing else left? Will you eat it a little at a time or gobble it all at once? Describe every aspect of enjoying this last savory morsel of food.
If I were to be in that situation, I would most deffinately grab the stores stalk of chocolate. Not dark chocolate, milk chocolate. I would want to get some with caramel, and mint fillings in some of them. I dont know how I would be able to stay living without chocolate. If I knew that it would be the last time that I would ever be able to eat chocolate, I would save it away for later days, then on those days when I absolutley needed chocolate, I would only eat a little bit of it so i could savor it and keep it for as long as possible. If my family ever found out that I had a stash of chocolate, It would be taken and eaten within three minutes of the finding. I would deffinately hide it away. If I had to choose one place to hide it, I would put it in my closet because you cant find anything in there! accept I would know where it was. It would be so hard to know that I would never be able to get chocolate again, it would be hard to save every little bit of it and enjoy it when I would want to just eat the whole thing at once. :) So if I had to chose one food item to save for me that I would never be able to get again, I would grab a chocolate stash.

Imagine that you have a superpower. The Power of Persuasion. You can convince anyone of anything. How would you use that power? What would you try to get, do, change? Would you use it for good? Or evil? Describe what the Power of Persuasion is.
If I had the power of persuasion, I would most deffinately persuade my parents into letting me: Eat normal foods :), hangout with friends more, go to more parties, hang out with boys (because they dont let me ) let me drive whenever I wanted to, and choose wether I want to do something or not. I would also use this power to persuade my teachers into not letting us have so much homework, let us read the whole Book of Mormon and count it towards our reading log. I could get my way into almost anything i watned if I wanted to. I could persuade people to give me money to go shopping!
the power of persuasion is getting people to to what you want without being aggressive or mean, it is using words to get what you want.

Write a review of the last good book you've read. You should include:1 paragraph summary- what's the story about?1 paragraph review- what did you like about the book? What could have been better? Your review: how many stars would you give it?
The last good book that I read was Twilight. Twilight is about a girl (bella) who falls in love with a vampire (Edward.) Edward doesnt eat people but their scent or their blood is tempting. Bella and Edward live in Forks, Washington. it is always rainy there, and there is hardly any sunlight. Bella lives with her dad, because her parents got divorced.
I really liked Twilight because it is really intense and is full of suspence, it keeps you on your toes the whole time. the story is really good, the way she words it gives you the perfect scenery in your head. it is also not predictable.
The storry could have been better if she had put more romance and action into it. other than that she did a really good job at writing her series. i would probably rate it a 10/10. its a book that you just have to re-read over and over. you cant ever get sick of it!

My ideal winter break would be in New York, staying in a huge suite that costs thousands of dollars just to stay in, it would have to be a yellow one though, because yellow would make it all the more enjoyable! I would have my best friend Cassie, and Shacotah. We would go shopping and buy EVERYTHING we saw, well almost. Anything that was cute or different. I would want it to be snowing though, the big fluffy snowflakes that arnt wet and dont make you wet or cold. we would shopp all day, talk and hangout with the hottest guys all night. we would blast music and sing at the top of our lungs. there wouod be no parents there to tell you what you can and cant do! we would stay there the whole two weeks, and fly on a nice fancy airplane first class. And I wuld keep everything forever not give it back after the break. We would get everything we ever wanted and have tons of fun! and that would be my perfect christmas break.
