The snow is beautiful! But not when its so thin that you can see the grass poke through then the ground just looks like a balding head. I don't like that. There was a status on Facebook today that said "Why do people keep treating snow like acid? If you step in it it won't hurt you. You've been living in Minnesota for how long? And your still not used to it?" :). I like it! Yep, it's cold, but until you're eighteen you can't move out on your own so get used to it. Snow is not even that bad, yes its cold and makes makeup run and hair frizz, but what if you were one of those Californians who have never seen snow in their life? Then you'd love it. If I moved, I wold definately miss the snow. And driving through the snow swerving on the ice helps make you a better driver because you'll know how to drive in any condition. I love the Minnesota snow!

Courage

Courage comes from within. Sometimes you don't know you have a lot of it until you are put in the situation where you need it. I was watching The Ant Bully yesterday and at the end of the movie, of course, Lucas finds the courage within to stand up to the bully. I don't think anyone is necessarily lacking in courage, it may just not be utalized. Even the littlest things take some courage. How about answering a question? You have to get the courage to respond with how you really feel instead  of say, "going with the flow". Courage cannot be taught in school, it's a human instinct. Sometimes courage is discouraged in school. Say you have the courage to pop jokes in class! That may be disouraged by teachers. Oh and faith! Don't ever talk aout your faith in shool if you're a Christian! Yep, don't be courageous to do that!

I love to watch shows on illegal immigration control.:). Like Border Wars. It's a good show because the guards show that they are human when they listen to the immigrants' stories about wanting a better life or maybe wanting to see a family member who lives in America. I feel strongly against illegal immigration because it is not fair that our tax payers' money goes to supporting their lifestyles. And what if they make a social security code off the top of their head and it's someones who cannot afford to have this extra baggage on their account. The Cartel hire scouts to watch for weaknesses in the border so they can send more people and drugs across. Many people wishing to cross the boarder have to pay dues to the Cartel's workers, "Coyotes" to help them get across. The fees are up in the thousands. The Mexican president had some nerve to make a public speech that Arizona has no right to start pulling cars over just because the driver looks Mexicano. If they are going to come and be violent why can't we make a precautionary law?
