Sears Tower, Not Willis Tower

By Anonymous -
This spring break was quite eventful for me, which is something new. Usually, I don't really do anything over breaks except hang out with my sister or something, but this break was different. I suggested that we should go downtown, and my sister is the one who suggested that we go to the Sears Tower. We were all talking about it, to see if we should actually do it. In the end, we decided to, and we were on our way. We got there, and we were waiting in line. Surprisingly, the first line moved quickly. As we were going further up, I was getting really anxious but also excited at the same time. When we brought the tickets, we thought that was going to be it, and that we could finally go. Turns out, we were wrong. There was still another 45 minute wait! So, we decided to just sit down and wait. The line finally moved, and we were getting closer. When we finally got to the elevator, they out like 20 people in one small elevator. I was so uncomfortable. Since we were going up really high, I was squished for a really long time, and my ears popped. When we finally got up there, it was phenomenal. The sight was something unimaginable. It was so beautiful, and so worth the wait. My sister and I decided to go on the balcony, which was nerve racking. I was really scared. I am not a fan of heights, and I was standing in a glass box, with people jumping next to me to see it would "break." After a while I got used to it, but my hands were still shaking tremendously. That was one of the first time we ever really did anything over a break, and it was something everyone should experience because the sight is beautiful, and it's a great thing to experience!

    My family goes there every year, isn't it so cool? I love it up there! You should check out the Arch in St. Louis, that view is so pretty.

The Greatest Risk, is Not Taking One

By Anonymous -

     The title of this blog, is one of my favorite quotes. Once I read it, I sat down and just took a minute to analyze it. I knew from the moment I read it, that I would really relate to it. There are moments in everyone's life, where they question whether to do something or not. I know I do. For me, I'm more of a shy person, so I don't take the risk. Yet, I always wonder what would have happened if I had actually taken that risk. I will always regret not taking the risks in the past, because what if it could have changed my life in a completely different way? You see, taking a risk is something you should always do. If it is something you might be so scared of, take a moment, and look at the pros and cons. That's what I do. In the end, I always look at the cons even though there might have been more pros. I always find a way or a reason on NOT to do something, don't be like me. If I learned to take a risk, so should you.

Moving On and Up

     Eighth grade is coming down to the end. There are less than three days of school left, and I'm honestly really sad. Not just because I'm leaving Heritage, but because when we leave Heritage, we all go our own ways. My two best friends who I've known my entire life, all three of us are going to separate schools. One is going to Fenwick, another to RB, and one to Morton. Very different schools. I think part of the reason, I don't want school to end, is because of that. I'm scared to have to start all over again. I'm scared to lose all the friends I really do have. No one understands how grateful I really truly am for them, because without them I would be nothing. Yes, I am very excited for high school. I also am not excited to leave. Leaving doesn't sound so fun. I'm excited for this new chapter in my life. I am excited to move up. I know if I stay here forever, it really wouldn't benefit me. How would I actually move on and up? How would I grow,...

Perseverance

      Now that we have summit, school has been so much harder. These focus areas piling on top of each other, it's like never ending. Summit has been very tough because, #1, I'm still getting used to the whole new platform, and #2, these focus areas need time and thought put into them, and it takes more than a day or two to get most of them done. I persevered because this is my education, and even though it is hard I'm not going to just give up. Of course I needed patience though, because to be able to have go preserve through something like this, you do need patience to get it done and tolerance to failure as well, because failure with this is not uncommon.      Some traits Nick Vujicic has is self-confidence, courage, and of course perseverance. How he had self confidence is because he doesn't let what other people effect the way he sees himself, and he also doesn't hide himself. He actually goes out. He also respects himself enough to not let anyon...
