What i've read recently

The most recent thing i was was called "Paint Brush Poem". Its about how people feel like they can't be themselves around other people because they feel like they need to be who they think the people want them to be. It talks about bringing a paint brush so they can paint themselves to who they think they have to be. I like this poem because everything it says is true. Many people are afraid of being themselves because they want people to like them. And maybe when they are themselves people say hurtful things. I also like it because when you read it you can tell who your real friends are. Your real friends are the ones who love you no matter what. And you don't need to pretend who you are around them.

My favorite book of all time


My favorite book of all time would probably be Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. I really enjoyed it because it was suspenseful, sad, happy, and a book I would recommend for teenagers and up to read. It kept me wanting more and I couldn't put it down. 
It is a story of a bullied high school boy who comes to school one day and kills about 12 people and injures many more. It tells the stories of the people he killed, the people who lost friends and family, and his story of the court case he goes through. I would highly recommend reading this book.

Friendly

A word that best describes me would be friendly. I love meeting new people and making new friends. Although, I am also shy when meeting new people because I want to make a good impression, because I think good first impressions are important. After meeting the person I get over being shy and become very outgoing and energetic. I enjoy meeting new people because I always look forward to having another good friend. I also enjoy the current friendships I have now and I look forward to what the future brings with them.
