STORY OF MY LIFE

An event in my life that I can turn into a short story.

One day during summer vacation my parents were out and about in the city, leaving my sister and I alone in the house. Now I love my sister don't get me wrong, but there are times were she can be annoying to deal with. That was one of those times. My sister and I share a room which can be hard sometimes. On this particular day I was watching one of my shows while my sister was watching Harry Potter. Suddenly my sister and I got hungry and since my parents were out and there was hardly any food in the fridge there wasn't much to eat. Then as if a light bulb struck we remembered that we had left over pizza from the previous day. Now my sister and I have this rule that if you get to something first and yell out "mine" then you have claimed it. So we raced over to the pizza and we both got to it and we tarted fighting. No the pizza was on a glass plate and our hands slipped and the plate fell. It was as if time stopped and we saw the plate shatter into a million other pieces. We stared at each other with eyes as wide as UFOs. With just one look  we could tell that we needed to fix it. So as fast as the flash we went and did what we had to do. She went to go pick up the broken pieces and I hurried as fast as my short legs can take me to the closest store to get another plate. When I came back my sister had the broken pieces picked up and we shared the pizza. Then the most unbelievable happened. I woke up. Everything that had happened didn't happened. I guess this is what you call lucid dreaming. 

FIRST IMPRESSION: ON SELF-RELIANCE

As we wear reading On Self-Reliance there were some points that struck me. The line "To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men, — that is genius," at first I didn't understand what it meant but Dr. Preston said that it basically what you think is's not going to be the same for others because they might not think exactly like you. There were also some parts I didn't understand but later got cleared up.
