“Fate, do your work. We human being don’t control our own destinies. What is fated to happen must happen. So let it happen!” Olivia p. 59
I think it is good to have faith but me personally I don’t believe in destiny. My reasons behind that are that we were not destined to turn out like criminals like my self and others. Destiny is a bunch of B.S. I personally believe that we make our own destiny. I will make my own destiny. I will not let anyone make it for me!! I think with fate we would have a better chance of making a better destiny/future for ourselves. Fate is just believing in something. Without believing in something or believing in yourself you probably won’t get any were in life. I have figured that it will be easier to make my own destiny than let someone do it for me. I like how some people believe that when you are born you are born with a destiny. THAT IS A BUNCH OF B.S makes your own destiny. Live life with fate and a good attitude. Respect people and you will be respected. You and your attitude will determine your destiny. Your destiny is chosen by you so chose a good one. If I could go back and make some changes I would because right now my destiny don’t look to promising!

My Grandma
“They need to do some more tests” grandpa said. I was eight years old when I found out that my grandma had terminal lung cancer. She was feeling sick one morning so my grandpa took her to the hospital, and he checked her in. It was about 2:30 pm when my grandpa called and wanted to talk to me. “We need to take your grandma to the hospital in Provo Utah so that she can have more accurate tests done”.
“Can I come with you?” I asked to here my grandpa tell me NO! I was so scared I didn’t want to lose my grandma she was my best friend. The next morning I got up at 7:00 am to get ready for school and to catch the bus. Lunch at my school started at around 11:30 in the afternoon. That’s when I got the bad news.
The intercom beeped and called out “We need Levi to come to the front office he is wanted on the phone”. I got up out of my seat, collected all of my things, and then left. When I got to the front office I walked in and picked up the phone. When I heard the first few words come out of my moms mouth I about broke down and started to cry.
“Your grandmother isn’t doing so well” I remember asking my mom what’s wrong, and I remember her telling me “she has been started on chemo therapy and they are afraid that she has gotten an infection from it.” And that their main concern would be that she might not be able to fight it off. I started to think to myself that Easter is just a week around the corner and that there is a chance that I might not get to spend it with my grandma. That was the worst thought ever, and I was thinking about how it would be.
“We need to help you pack some clothes, do your chores, and then go get some gas for the car we are going to Provo to spend some time with your grandmother.” I was so happy knowing that I was going to get to spend some time with my grandma. I planned on sitting right there next to her for the whole five days we were going to be there. I brought books and crayons for me and her to color. It took an hour and a half to get there, witch isn’t very long but to me it felt like days.
“I felt so helpless.” When we got there my dad went to ask what room she was being held in and he found out she was in room # 307. I took off and ran down hall after hall looking for the room. When I finally found the room I walked through the door, and I seen my grandpa sitting there crying. I walked in to find out why he was crying. The things that I was seeing mad me cry and feel helpless. Right before my eyes I seen my grandma hooked up to all kinds of different machines and Ivey’s. The infection was so bad that it had made my grandmas body start to swell. She didn’t even look like my once before beautiful grandma.
“Hey kido” my grandpa said with tears rolling off his cheek and onto the floor. “The doctor said your grandmother is in pretty bad condition and that they didn’t expect her to make it past Easter.” I started to cry even harder, and went over to my grandma and laid my head on her stomach and started to tell her how much I would miss her and how much I love her. My grandpa then picked me up and kissed me on the cheek and said “Everything will be okay; your grandma is going to a better place, a place without suffering and sickness. The doctor came up to me and my family about three o’clock in the afternoon to tell us the bad news.
“Your grandmother is not going to make it, and that he would be surprised if she even made it through the night. And that was the first holiday that I didn’t get to spend with my grandma. A week later my family and I attended the funeral. It was the hardest thing to attend just for the fact I had to watch them put my grandma, my best friend, and a wonderful person six feet under.

Is there anything worse than dying?
The only thing that I would think that would be worse than dying is loosing a child, or someone that is close to you, because you feel empty and like there is a big gapping whole right through you. Personal experiences that I have had that I personally think would be worse than dying is the day that my grandma died. The day that my grandma died is the day that my world pretty much depleted. From that day on my life hasn’t been the same because of the emptiness that I feel in my life. To me the feeling that I had was altogether worse than dying. But other than that I personally think that death is a gift if it peaceful. A peaceful death is a gift in my eyes because you’re moving on to a better life with nothing to worry about. Like the day that my grandma passed I could have a little peace of mind knowing that she wasn’t suffering from the infection that she got during chemotherapy and her lung cancer. People should be very appreciative when someone’s suffering is put to an end and move on to a better place. I miss my grandma tremendously but at the same time I am very happy that she doesn’t have to live a life of suffering, and hospitalization.
After a couple of my family members have died, I realized that a peaceful death is really a gift to you for another life of peace and no suffering. I guess you just overall need to take into consideration what your own personal thought on this subject is. Because after what I have been through I certainly took everything into consideration and gave it a little thought and I have come up the fact that I would rather die than loose a child or someone really close to me

Rumors
Rumors are spread all the time. Rumors can affect people in different ways. Like for instance if it is a good rumor it could give that person a boost of confidence or just flat out make that person happy. Bad rumors are hurtful to people and can cause them to be unconfident with them selves. You shouldn’t spread rumors in the first place. How would you feel if someone spread a rumor about you? Next time you feel like spreading rumors try to put your self in that person’s shoes and ask your self how you would feel and how it would affect that persons life. I personally think that rumors are a rude and inconsiderate. I would not want someone to spread rumors about me so I am pretty sure they feel the exact same way.
I try to encourage people to have confidence in them selves and not worry about what ether people think about or say about you. It is a really hurtful thing. I know that I would feel hurt and pissed. People treat others different because of some of the rumors being spread around. If everyone stops spreading rumors there will be more confidant people and a lot less people dealing with harassment or any physical or verbal abuse that is caused by spreading rumors. Be nice and respectful to others and stop the rumor spreading. It will help out in the long run, and also help people to build a strong friendly relationship with other people and a lot of people will be safe from other people that pick on them all because of rumors. Rumors are the root to all harassment or physical and verbal abuse. Respect one another and good things will happen to you and your peers and help you out as well.

Truth be Told
Honesty. What is honesty? Honesty is being truthful and not lying to another person. Why is honesty important? To me it is important because when you are honest with a person they grow respect for you, and it will help build a strong relationship between you and that person. If you are not honest with a person they will see you as a dishonest person and have a hard time believing you. If you are trying to build a dishonest relation ship with someone it will be hard and pointless. That’s why I try to build strong and honest relationships.
For instance my cousin and I were hanging out one day and he tried to sneak out of his house to meet up with his girlfriend, come to find out his mom knew what was up so a so during dinner his mom started to talk to him about honesty and said to my cousin that he better not be sneaking out of the house. My cousin said “o no mom we aren’t going to sneak out. So when I and my cousin thought that his mom and dad were in bed we hopped out of the window. The bad part of that was that my aunt and uncle were sitting on the swing right around the corner from his bedroom. Ever since then my aunt stopped letting my cousin sleep in the basement. And on top of that she don’t trust my cousin and I. Ever since then I have tried my hardest to be a truthful person so that I can have peoples trust instead of them not trusting me and always having to watch me. To me it is just allot better than being babysat. Now that I am a truthful person I have got a lot more respect

Loyalty
I show my loyalty to my friends in many different ways. I always have their backs no matter what they got themselves in. I never talk bad to them or down to them. I am there to listen to them when they need to talk/or vent. Showing loyalty is a good trait because you can earn their respect and trust and to me that is an important thing to gain. I know also by showing my loyalty to my friend that they will do the same thing for me. Friends are your next closest thing to family so do all you can to keep your friendships from falling apart.
Not being loyal to your friends is a very rude thing do. Your friends are an essential part of your life, they help keep you company. For example, lying to your friends can result in a loss of trust. Another one is disrespecting your friends. Disrespecting your friends can cause a distance friendship or no friendship at all. Keeping friends is also a happy part of life, you will most likely be happier with friends than without.
