Marcus Aurelius

"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not a truth." -Marcus Aurelius.
I think this is true. How are things proven? That makes everything an opinion. No one can prove whether it's true or not. For the second part of this quote, "everything we see is a perspective, not a truth", obviously everything we see is in our own perspective of things, but does that make it true? Everyone see's things differently, so who is right? Who is true? It is not true, it is just your own perspective.

Senior Year

Senior year; the year we have all been waiting for. The year out lives go in different directions. This is the year about making memories and making the best out of every moment. The key to life is happiness, and you create your own happiness.
Throughout my life I've been through many ups and downs, but I strongly believe that everything happens for a reason. Even through some of my toughest times I've managed to always look at the bright side of things with a smile across my face. It has always been my goal to make other people happy, not just myself. By what does it mean to be happy? To me, happiness does not only mean a smile on my face, but also a warm tingly feeling in my body. I achieve happiness everyday by surrounding myself with friends and family. As senior year continues on, I strive to spend everyday living life to the fullest.
