I never thought that it was this bad back in the time of the Holocaust. Reading the short plays in Anne Frank really got me to think. You would have to find a place to go and hide and you couldnt walk around because then someone might here you. This really makes me think about how lucky I am. To be in a life where you have to worry about walking outside and having your life on the line. I always thought that it wasnt that bad and people could manage to find away to stay safe but not have to worry that much, but I was wrong. If I was in Anne’s shoes I would always be gloomy and down and would think only about the negatives, but she would put the good in everything and not think aboiut anything bad. To have to go in hiding in a tiny room where you have to be quiet for mosst of the day and not walk around is very hard. She has made me feel that you can put hope and faith in anything and not thing of the bad in things.
When we visited Washington D.C. one of the stops we made was to The Holocaust Museum. I could see how many people died and sacraficed their lives. Before any of this happened I never thought of what I think now. I never thought of how hard it would of been to be a Jew in the Holocaust. I couldnt imagine. Anne Frank has changed thoughts and feelings in my mind about everything i never new before. I feel so lucky to have what I have right now.

My favorite thing that interests me is tennis. Once I start hitting I can’t put my racquet down. Tennis to me seems to be addictive. I love to go out on the court and just enjoy playing the game. Singles, personally is my preference. I can rely on myself to win the game because I have total control of each point. Doubles is fun too but it is sometimes frustrating when your partner is have a bad day. Once my feet step onto the court I feel that I can play to have fun and to also win.
Everybody wants to win and enjoys it but we cant win every match. The match will come when you do lose. It is always a pain and you will get mad at yourself but it really is a lesson. If you lose a match you can learn from your mistakes, this will help you get better next time. When ever I am out on the court playing a point, I get excited. Every shot is a thrill to me. I can look forward to the next point each time so I can have fun hitting the ball. Sometimes it is not about winning its about having fun.
Meeting the other players is fun because you can make new friends. Playing out in tournemants is very fun because you can meet new people and also have a great time.Singles or doubles, winning or losing I just enjoy the game! This is why tennis is one of my favorite things that interests me!

The days do come when we are sad, but I always like to come up with ways to distract me. Things I like to do are go outside and play softball, basketball, tennis, and many more. When I am doing this it takes away all of the sadness and stress running through my mind. Changing the scenery and having fun really make things different. This makes me forget about everything that I am feeling and just take a break for a while from all of it and relax.
Another thing that I like to do when I am sad is to watch tv or a movie and listen to music. This takes me somewhere where I can just sit relax and not have to deal with everything. I love to listen to rap, pop, country, and much more. This makes me feel better about eveything. Watching television can change alot. While I am watching TV I just enjoy what I am doing because this can take away my bad feelings and thoughts that are running throuhg my head. Watching TV and listening to music can just take everything bad away.
My dog can always make me happy. Whenever I am sad and cant think of something to do I can play with my dog, Lacey. Somehow Lacey just takes all of the sadness away and makes things happy. Lacey is a perky, jumpy, and happy dog that always makes me feel good. I can go to my dog whenever I needed her and she always makes thing better.
Anything I can think of that distracts me and what I like to do can make me better when I am sad. Playing sports, watching TV and listening to music, and playing with my really make things better. Days will always come when you are sad and dont know what to do, but these are my favorite things.
