A student in the 8th grade has shared their report of chosen topic: "Life" to the classroom. Here is what they wrote on the chalkboard for their class. The report was due today.

My Personal Report on Life.

Life is like a roller coaster. It has its ups and downs and twists and turns and fun stuff with boring stuff. It has all the colors of the rainbow and many more. It has good people and bad people. It has a lot of stuff, but none of it should be an excuse as to why we are having a "bad day" or a streak of "bad-luck." I have come to the realization that I control my life and I am going to make the best of it that I can with all of my power. Living life is NOT small, it is BIG and worth the while.

Living Is So Big because not only the fact that, if you have a heart-beat you have a purpose, but because we all have at least one reason to live for. Although I guarantee that we can all think of more than one reasons to live for. My reasons are because I have family and friends that care about me. I am still breathing. I enjoy the sunshine. I enjoy writing poetry. I like the taste of cookies. What are your reasons? This concludes my personal report on life.

Thank you.
