i am tennis player
i wonder how a airplane holds people in the air
i hear people talking in my head even when no one is talking
i see me playing tennis on the beach
i want to be a world champ skiier
i am a tennis player
i pretend i can drive
i feel happy at Disneyland
i touch a tennis raquet
i worry about earthquakes
i cry when i loose a tennis match
i am a tennis player
i understand my religion
i say 40 love match!
i dream about going to Julliard
i try to get straight A's
i hope for world peace
i am a tennis player

Christmas Break!
For Christmas Break, I started off the week going to the mall with two of my best friends, McCall and Tieler. My mom dropped us off and it was mall mayhem! It was so crowded and there were so many freaking people! Well I guess the parking lot looked a lot more crowded than what it really was on the inside!
The first thing we did was go eat at the food court, then we went to Nordstrom. None of us had enough money though for Nordstrom, which sucked, so we left and went to Forever 21. (a store we could afford!)
I bought a shirt and nail polish, McCall bought a dress, and Tieler bought a sweatshirt. It was good times.
After we done, Tieler's mom came and picked us up and dropped me off at home. My family was going to see A Christmas Carol. That was great, whatever, and then we came home and just partied until my sister and her husband left.
The next day my mom wanted me to run errands with her. So we went to Target, and while I was there Shelby and McCall came running around the corner in their sexy snowsuits! :) And then we talked and then I went home with my mom because I had to go somewhere when I got home.
Well I will skip a few days and go to Christmas, because my Christmas Eve was not that fun because I got a migrane and was sick all day. So on Christmas, my parents woke us up at 7:45. Yup we are all old and our parents have to wake us up on Christmas morning... so anyways we opened up our presents from SC. Then our neighbors came over for breakfast, and then they left, and then we opened presents from our parents. Then we went to the movie that night and then went home and went to bed.
it was awesome.

Empathy
I think the reason people lack empathy in this book is because they expect perfection and expect them to be living this perfect life with no problems. So when someone is having a hard time, I'm sure that it would be hard to explain that when everyone thinks you are fine.
When they have their nightly discussions as a family, they confess to eachother about different things, and still they showed no empathy. (like the parents) When Jonas told about his dream, his parents just told him to take pills, and told him what to do next. (Basically :))
I think when Jonas starts to feel empathy for others is definatley when he sees the baby released, and knows Gabe was going to be released. Jonas shows empathy for Gabe when he takes him awsay and does all he can to keep both of them alive, but mainly Gabe. It was a struggle for Jonas to go up the hill but he kept going beacause it was the best for him and Jonas. I think that is when Jonas feels what it feels like to actually branch out and feel empathy for others.
