 These are my Thunder trucks from one of my first skateboards. There a little old and used, so they may look worthless to you, until you hear my story about them. Last year I got very sick because of my stomach issues toward the beginning of the year (of school). We just recently (my family) found out what was wrong with my stomach. Anyways last year I had to be puled out of school and be homeschooled because I was sick for too long and the school was starting to give problems to my parents. I ended up being home schooled, so I didn’t have many friends last year, only ones that lived around my street. So to pass the time by while everyone was at school (I only had 1-2 hours of schooling)  I skateboarded. I built them, used them, learned tricks and basically it was my life. I ended up stopping for a while, but I’m starting to skate again. Just one thing, I cant land ANYTHING. Last year was a sad time for me, and I love having more friends this year, I don’t really feel left out now. If my friend never got me into skateboarding (like I said I had a few friends not zero friends) it would have been even tougher for me. Not as much time would of been passed quicker, not as much exercise, and how could i forget; not as many weird looks from people.

So a lot of people think that on December 21, 2012, thw world is going to end. I do not believe in this, and I have proof. The word was supposed to “end” several times before, most popular one was Y2K when we reached 2000. Y2K caused suicides, lost hope, and sadness, for absolutely nothing. I’m pretty sure we’re still alive, so why is everyone so sure that 2012 is the end of the world? I do not think this is going to happen, do you? Also if they are making movies of it, it just doesn’t seem “legit” to me. These are just a few of the reasons I don’t think it will happen

In a heartbeat, i believe that obtaining rights of independence is very important. England was trying to control us from across seas and then sent troops over which started a war. Britain sent ruthless Hessian’s to fight for them which made the choice of following George Washington even harder. But i still would have, i believe independence is important. One time when i had to say no to following something bad was when, i was little and i wasn’t supposed to leave my street but everyone else was. They tried to talk me into it but i said no.
