My life lesson is to never use paint that’s made with cement glue. Cement glue is the glue that’s really sticky, and if you get it on your skin you’re pretty much screwed. Well, I guess screwed is kind of how you can describe me in this lesson.

      One summer afternoon my mom and I were outside painting a box for a friend, but the paint that we had was a different kind. We both weren’t really sure what kind of paint it was, because we borrowed it from a friend and had never used it before. As we were painting we noticed the paint was kind of sticky, but didn’t really pay attention to it because we thought it was homemade. When we were finished with the box our hands were really sticky, and after a while they were so sticky that we couldn’t touch anything because our hands would get stuck to it. Finally, my mom was sick of it so she picked up the can, and looked at the ingredients. Well, we found our problem. Turns out the paint we were using was mixed with cement glue. To this day we still have no idea what type of paint we used, but even if I did know I wouldn’t recommend it.

      Well, like I said before I wouldn’t recommend this paint unless you personally just want to be a big, sticky magnet. If you use this paint I hope you don’t have any plans for the next couple of days, because those days you’ll be spending trying to get paint off your body.

     The sense I would not want to lose is my sight. My sight is important to me because I want to be able to see all of God’s beautiful creations. Also, being able to see my life go by, and everyday being able to see my mom’s face smile at me. I may have glasses already but losing my sight completely would change my life forever.

     One day without seeing my mom’s face and knowing I could never see it again would just tear me apart. I couldn’t see where I was going and probably trip a lot. Not being able to see the people that I love would be torture. Not being able to see my crazy best friend would make my days worse. I would never be the same.

     A lot of people take advantage of their sight, but I treasure it with all my heart. To me the most important sense is sight

We talk like we’re idiots

dance like we’re freaks

Yes everybody knows this,

They’ve known it for weeks

Yes we’re crazy

and I have no doubt,

But I can’t believe

You just found this out

When people see us

they don’t know what to say

And after all that we’ve been through

nothing stands in our way

She’s my best friend

and I know it’ll stay that way

until the end

Yesterday in Copenhagen we found out that the Nazi soldiers have started taking jews.  Nobody knows where they are taking the jews, but we plan to find out.  We found out early yesterday morning when the Nazis showed up at the church asking for the names and adresses of the jews.  Please try and do everything that you can to keep our kind jews hidden and safe.  Also the soldiers have gotten the idea to train dogs to hunt down the jews, and are training them as we speak.  These dogs will be very highly trained, so be careful. We are trying very hard to come up with a solution for the dog problem.  If you have any ideas or solutions for these problems please let us know.  For you jews that are out there and reading this, please do as your people say, our people mean no harm.  One more thing is the soldiers are stationed everywhere in this country, so if you go elsewhere, keep your eyes open.  Some of them may already have dogs so do your best to dround out any human smell.  Some of the ways you will have to hide the smell may not be pleasent, and if you can’t think of anything to hide the smell, come to us.  Please be safe and try hard not to get caught.  -The Resistance

The most memorable moment I have from Christmas break was my whole family being together. I love it when my whole family is together because it makes me feel safe and happy. Another thing is I know how blessed I am when my whole family is sitting together somewhere laughing. Don’t you ever feel blessed when your whole family can laugh and cry together? One thing I can say is it’s not the presents that make you happy, because that happy feeling of it goes away after a while. You may think now that you are ready for freedom, like going out on your own, but after a while you’ll want it all back. So be blessed you have your family, because you can’t replace them.
