9-11 is a day to remember for all
I was only in the second grade so just a little do I recall
My mom was gone and my grandma came to stay
Are the main things I remeber that day
I remember my grandma watching the news that mornig
And every where they were saying the Twin Towers had been attacked withour warning
As a little boy I don't think I quite understood
But I knew it was not good
As I saw the towers crash
Sever men and women came to help at a dash
As Americans everyone came together
And this tragic event we did weather

    O my goodness! I have had it ! All the things I have done and all my money and she still will not have me as her husband.  And to make matters worse she is getting tumped by an old black ram.
     I love her so much. There is not another girl in the whole world for me.   It is her father, he is the reason Desdimona will not marry me.  But, if she cant amrry me why would he allow her to marry a Moore?  Or, perhaps he is unaware of such a thing.  Thats it! I must inform Barbantio this news and he will have Othello done away with and Desdimona will be my reward for such a noble deed.
      O! If only this works, I will be the happiest man in the world.  She is the most beautiful and perfect women I have ever seen.  I will treat her like a goddess and buy her everthing money can buy.  We will live happily for ever and ever.

The best advice I have ever had is "what does not kill you only makes you stronger".  I am not exactly sure who gave me this advice but I think it was my sister.To me this is really important advice.  There are always going to be hard times in your life that you have to face and difficulties that you have to deal with. But, if you make it through them alive you will be a better and stronger person.  Also, the advice "do not take life to seriously, nobody gets out alive" is pretty good as well.  Everytime I get stressed about something or all up tight and mad I think of that and realize that I just need to relax and enjoy the moment.
