I work so hard and I get nothing

Hello Readers,

Are you or were you ever the type of person who works so hard and feels like you are not getting anywhere? Today I am going to discuss the workaholics who never really seem to catch a
break.
I remember when I was in 8th grade. I showed my writing to one of the faculty staff who just happened to be in charge of the school paper. She said my writing was excellent and since I loved to write that I should join the paper. (This was at the end of the year). Well, I gave her my work and she said she would put it in. When the school paper came out my work was never even in it. I remember how I put all of that work and nothing came out of it.
It also happened other times. I don't want you to think that I am not a good writer because I am. I just don't understand how people could say to write about something and then when you do it's not even in the paper.
In high school when I joined the paper it was the same thing so I dropped out. In college my work was getting put in all of the time. Until we had a new advisor. She made the meetings long and wanted you to interview people on campus. I know journalism is all about expanding your horizions and interviewing people. I am fine with that it's just that I did movie reviews or opinion articles. Even if I wrote movie reviews I had to get sources. My other friend also complained about it. I told her my ideas and wrote the article. She said it was excellent and when I got the paper my article wasn't in it. So I once again quit.
I don't want you to get the wrong idea to quit everytime you hit a rock. When you want something very bad you shouldn't quit.
I know how it feels to put your heart into something that you really want and in the end you feel that it was all for nothing. It hurts and it could be fustrating. No matter how bad it gets don't give up.
I am still writing to this day and hoping to get my works published one day. I may not be a best seller yet but I know that I am good and creative. Writing is also something that I love to do. I love to write all different genres of writing.
When you get bad critiques don't give up. It doesen't mean that you are never going to fuffill your dreams. It just means that you need improvement. Even the best actresses and writers were told at one point that they weren't going to make it. Then later on they became a hit and to this day are famous.
So whatever you love go for it. Just because one person doesen't think that you are good doesen't mean that your a failure. Keep working at what you love to do. The more you work at it the better you will become. Just when you least expect it, your dreams will finally come true. So keep believing and working.

Until next time,

Paige

Party Ruiners

Hello and welcome to another edition of "Social Life." Tonight I am going to mention what to do when people ruin your party.
I rmember when it was my 14th birthday. I was so excited I had the whole thing planned out. I was having a party and two of my best friends would sleep over and the next day we were going to see "Pearl Harbor." It didn't quite work out that way.
My two closest friends couldn't sleep over but they came and my other friends did. I also invited two girls who I were aquitances with. This one girl was very bossy and was ruining the whole thing. To make it worse I found her reading my diary and quoting it. I couldn't belive it. Then they locked me in the closet as a joke. That night I was so upset it was the worst party I have ever had.
In a situation like that there is nothing you can really do. You just know for the future who to invite and who not to invite. I also learned that when it comes to having a party and having everythign planned out, know who you are going to invited. Don't just invited someone who you have an after school activity with and say hi and bye too. Another thing, if someone hurt you in the past or was bossy to you in the past they will be the same way in the future. A leopard will not change it's spots.
My next birthday was amazing. I didn't invited the girls who ruined my party and even my crush came.
Later on I had parties that I loved and some didn't turn out as I hoped. They were each different and that's how life is. Things change and sometimes things we think will be great may not be and things we think will be horrible turn out to be the best. We shouldn't judge our future experiences based on the past ones. We should be cautious but we also should move foward and believe that everythign is going to be okay.

See you next time,

Paige

Are they thinking of me?

Are you the type of person that shuts people out? Not because you want to but because you had bad experiences? Tonight I am going to discuss what happens when you are thinking of someone and they aren't thinking about you. When I was young and met people I always believed that we would be close and was optomistic about having friends. Even when it comes to realationships. alot of the time the people that I think are great are the ones who end up hurting me. The people that I don't want to associate with are the people who want to be with me. Does it make sense? No. I am not here to talk about making sense. Instead I am ready to discuss how it feels. It dosen't feel good when we are excited to see someone but they aren't excited to see us. We wonder how come they don't care about us? As much as we are dissapointed we should give others a chance and believe that one day there will be that one person who is excited to see us and wants to give us a chance. The people who won't give us a chance, well then it is their loss. We shouldn't shut ourselves off because we had bad experiences in the past. We should leave the past in the past and press on to the greater achivements of the future. See you next time, Paige
