This I Believe.

I have to write a This I Believe essay for English.
my teacher say this will probably be the hardest piece of writing that we will do all year.
but I don't think it will be that hard to write,
just to turn in, to let my teacher, my classmates read.
that will be the hard part.
I find writing easier now that I have this blog. sharing things with my few readers is helping, breaking my shell a bit. hmmm...and you know what I thought of today? just for a millisecond, I thought maybe, I could be a English major in collage.
me, the person who dreaded writing and English before last year, when I found the healing affects of writing my memoir. and now this year, English is one of my favorite classes, easily in the top three.
History, Biology (I'd rather be in chem.) and then English.
I still think I will major in fashion design, or maybe chemical engineering.
I still have a couple years till I need to seriously think about this,
though some times it's quite difficult not to get caught up in collage planning, when basically it's being thrown at my every day at school.

oooookkkkay back to my essay.

This I Believe essays on NPR are just one of the things that make me love Mondays. I have always kinda wanted to write one, and now I have too,
everyone in my class had looks of pain, hatred, loathing when we got this assignment today.
but there I sat, in the back of the room, secretly formulating essays in my mind, secretly loving the assignment, knowing that I will probably write many essays, and when I turn one in, pretend that just like every one else, I wrote it the night before.

here is my essay topic brainstorm list:
-fashion, the power of creating, the impact
-sunrises
-memories
-little things are what matter, mini-m&m's.
-the need to hear three little words, i love you.
-that the best moments in life are not the ones we can explain.

I think that I am going to write about sunrises.
I think I need to explain this some more.
I believe in sunrise, I believe in the hope the bring, with each new day, a new start, I believe that the forgiveness that comes with sunrise, is what keeps us going.
you see each morning, I have to see the sunrise. watch light come to the world,the start of a new day.
I believe that with the sunrise the past is forgiven, if not forgotten.
that if I see the sunrise. the day has a chance of being great, fantastic,
not only is it a fresh start, clean slate, it is a miracle, the thought that every single day, the sun will shine, that pretty much no matter what, that is the constant in my life.
I believe that the constant of sunrises is the single greatest source of hope, inspiration in my life.
and because all of this I believe in sunrises.

does this make sense?

or I will write about fashion and the creating of clothes.
I can use the themes of this essay that I wrote part of before for English, but ended up not using.
opinions please.
