Dear Jacob!

Dear Jacob Arndt,

I understand this may seem odd, but I am you from the future. I am going through all of this trouble to write this letter so I can inform you on a few things. You are not as mature as you will eventually become and because of this I am telling you that you need to stay focused on your studies and worry on the important things. It may not seem like it, but these things make a difference. I figured it would help you more in life if I were to write this letter and tell you these things.

I remember how you feel about school and how you are not exactly to fond of waking up and going, but it will help you in the long run. I know the adults are frequently telling you these things and it kind of just goes in one ear and out the other, but when you are older you will realize that they are just trying to help you succeed in life. I know you are not the best in science and most of the time you don't even study, but you need too. If you know you have a test coming up, why wouldn't you study for this? Why would you let yourself be unprepared for something that will help you achieve a good grade? It does not make sense.

You are sixteen, you only have a couple more years and you will be on your own. It is a lot more stressful than life is now. You will encounter many stressful situations. This is why you must try your best to achieve your goals at a young age. You must continue your studies, stay on track, and most importantly do not give up. This will make sure our future is going to be a good one.

Sincerely,
Jacob Arndt

Forgiveness.

I ask for your forgiveness,
I ask for your forgiveness.
To forgive is a hard task,
but don't ignore the truth and hide behind your mask.
We both know it is true,
that I of course love you.
I ask for your forgiveness,
I ask for your forgiveness.
We used to be so close,
I do not know why I did what I did.
It was my fault,
the fact is, it was simply stupid.
We had spectacular times,
I'm sorry they had to end.
But if we forget about our past,
we could never end.
I ask for your forgiveness,
I ask for your forgiveness.
We will be unstoppable,
no one can break our love.
We would be victorious,
and view the flying doves.
If you take my hand I will never leave,
I promise I will never be so naive.
We will be here for each other,
until the day of death.
We will be here together,
until our final breathe.
I ask for your forgiveness,
I ask for your forgiveness.

Love and Compassion

Love is a feeling of deep affection. One could love many things. These things could literally include anything. One could love a person, an animal, or even a material item. This being said, love is a very important emotion for humans. Love can be good, but it can also be hurtful in some ways. For instance if one feels love towards someone or something and they do not feel the emotion. I honestly cannot say I love many things. I take the word serious, this is because this word is meant to be said when one cannot express anyother feeling of happiness. I could easily say that I love my family and of course my wonderful girlfriend. I say this because they simply fill me with joy. I cannot say that I love to many material objects and this is because they cannot fill me with joy like human beings can. Love and compassion is a very strong emotion and I feel as if they should be used wisely.

Rejected by others.

When people are rejected by others, they have a feeling of distress and sometimes it might even be painful to be rejected. Such as in a situation where a man is rejected by different woman countless times, he will feel unwanted and will eventually start to think he is not good enough. These feelings have caused pain, stress, and even suicide. I can not think of any possible solution for this except for us as humans to simply stop rejecting one another, but that can and will not happen. If one does not like another, they will continue to ignore or reject that person. It is simply human nature to feel unwanted in these circumstances  and it is also in human nature to reject people that one does not like, it is an endless situation of distress.

Responsibility

Responsibility is the state or fact of being accountable or to blame for something. This being said, if one was to do something wrong they are to blame and must know they are responsible for their inappropriate behavior. This is relevant towards everyone, even me. Every respectful person should know to be responsible. It's simply the right thing to do. In some cases one might think they are not responsible for something when others think otherwise. The best thing to do is to be as honest as possible. This is the most efficient way for the problem to be solved. Responsibility should be apart of everyone and everyone should be respectful enough to follow this simple procedure. 

Project

Last summer my dad and I were on our boat. While we were on the water, the boat started having problems, so we drove it back to the dock. This is where my dad discovered that there was something wrong with the engine. My dad has been a mechanic all his life, so we thought it would be an easy fix, but surprisingly the damages would cost a great amount of money.

My dad did research and found that it would be less money just to buy another used boat. At this time, he was fascinated with sail boats instead of a power boat, like we had. So he bought a sail boat and we worked on this new boat every weekend until it met our standards. I do not know if this was a good idea, but I will in a couple weeks when we put it on the water.

Exploring the Unknown.

Some brave people throughout the world explore the unknown, because of this we are knowledgeable of what was once considered the unknown. Personally, I think people do this because they are curious of what the unknown may consist of or maybe even because they are eager to learn.

This is a huge accomplishment for anyone who is brave enough to venture on and explore this unknown place. Without people that would do these things, we would simply not be as knowledgeable as we are today. With these explorers, we as humans will continue to learn and advance.

All of these wonderful discoveries are because of curiosity. Curiosity is one of our greatest assets. This has made us explore and settle the world, develop new tools, and even put a man on the moon. This has helped us become the advanced civilization we are today.
