Superman must have had it hard


Dear Readers,

Holding up the end of a bargain can done by anyone. Unwritten/unspoken bargains create a level of difficulty most people cannot manage. No level of intelligence could figure out exactly what one needs to do their share of the work.

That sums up a good portion of the thoughts that run through my mind each day. I find it hard to do what I'm supposed to do. I can't help but think of superheroes who, despite their amazing powers, cannot always perform the acts needed to progress in life. Sometimes they are held back by the need to conceal feelings, sometimes it's merely because the task at hand is not within their amazing skill set.

With this in mind, how does a person do their share of work on an idea that hasn't been planned out? It doesn't really help when the others around seem to be doing a lot more work than them. We are told not to compare work loads because we are all blessed with unique trials. There are some trials that have to be undertaken in groups. No one can measure who should put more effort into it.

One possibility: the goal could be dropped, making everyone's load easier. Although, maybe the goal provokes certain people to become better. Thus ending the task would not be beneficial to them.

Yes, Superman must have had it hard. Having abilities to fix something, but being held back by circumstance that can't be changed.

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

I like Happiness

Dear Readers, Happiness is great, don't you agree? Just the other night, it was a very frustrating and confusing night out with the Ensemble yet again, but I came back to my friend's house to hang out and just decided that being happy was more important than giving in to my gossiping desires. The rest of the night was just brilliant after I decided that. This morning was another example: I woke up late and was again frustrated. What did I do? I went to school and decided to be happy. The rest of the day went great! Be Happy! :D

When You Wish Upon a Star

Dear Reader, One short day in the [Segovia] City! It is a beautiful city, to be sure. As part of our study abroad program in Spain, our group takes various trips to different cities here in Spain to see museums, palaces and history from several different eras of humanity. Today it was a pleasure to travel to Segovia. We had several adventures while we were there. First off, we stopped off at the Palacio de la Granja (Palace of the Farm). It was an attempt to replicate the Palace of Versailles in France back in the 18th century. We weren't able to enter the palace itself, but we spent about an hour walking around the numerous gardens on the south side of the palace. The palace gardens awesome. The pictures taken here don't do it justice. The gardens stretched father than you can see and the statues were absolutely beautiful. They were representations of hunting on the grounds with dogs, Greek Gods, and other famous figures from the middle ages. However, despit...
