St. Patty's Day- What does it mean to me.

St. Patrick's Day for me means that spring is on it's way! With green being such a dominant color for this day, it makes me very excited for all of the green trees and the flowers that will soon be all around us. A few St. Patrick's day memories would be in elementary school, I went to school all dressed in green to find out our teacher had a whole day of St. Patty's Day fun filled for us. We had scavenger hunts, great coloring sheets, and tons of green colored food. Another memory would be a few years ago, me and my sister went and bought everything green we could find. Green hair spray, shirts, necklaces, fake tattoos, and green face paint. When we went home, we got everything ready for what was to be the best St. Patrick's Day ever. :)

Olympic Size Commitment..

To commit, by definition, means to bind or obligate as by pledge or assurance. To make that big of a commitment would mean that you would give up everything just for that goal. The one thing that I would make such a commitment to would be my family. Families are always there for you and love you no matter what silly mistake you make. They see you through the good, the bad, and the worse. Never do they stop loving you. An example of a commitment in my family would be my grandma and grandpa. They knew they were in love since they were teenagers and were married for 46 years until my grandpa passed away from cancer. My grandma never thought for a second to stop caring for him even though it was really hard on her. She was so committed to him that she would do whatever it took to get him better.

Caring for the child, Eppie, Silas gained a new sense of hope, learned how to be alive again, and also found his gold in his back yard.
This was a very good book. The story was really interesting and always kept me wanting to slip away to read it some more. I would recommend this book to anyone who was looking for a great book to read.
