Frankenstein

A woman in the days of Mary Shelly, the early 1800s, was not given many oppurtunities to succeed. Shelly not only went above and beyond what people expected, but at a young age wrote such a compelling novel that Frankenstein is still studied in schools and considered a classic.

In a way, man can create life because new lives are being created everyday through birth. Artificailly creating a a human being, though, I think is impossible..God created us, and man thinking they can copy or clone His work is repugnant.

I do not believe that you can live forever on earth or immortality. Nothing you own, such as the sorcerers stone, can protect you from death. I do, however, believe in eternal life after death in heaven.

All people have monsters inside them. Internal and External monsters. Internal monsters may include degrading yourself or others, mental illnesses or any other monster compromising your mind. Drugs, alcohol, even food for some people can be an external monster. Anything you can become addicted to has the ability to grow into a monster inside of you.

2012 Theme Word

Outspoken.

I chose this word because I want to be able to speak my mind easily and freely without being worried what other people think. I have always been somewhat a people pleaser, the person who lets other people have it their way so they will not get angry and get into an argument. I want people to remember and admire me for strong views, not the pushover that had no opinion.

If I could make myself be more outspoken, everyone would be able to see my personality better, whether they like it or not. Although rare, you can have an opinion and express it, without being rude and disrespectful. Listen to the opposing argument, ask questions, get some perspective and then add my ideas without hesitation. Instead of agreeing with everyone all the time I can hold true to what I believe and go after what I want.

People are not always going to agree with you, and because of this, you will have enemies. Everyone has those people that are not going to like you for what you believe buts that is life, and no matter how hard you try you cannot make everyone happy.
