What was your favorite entertainment as a child? Was it having the imagination of running to the circus? Have you ever been to the circus? If so, what is your favorite act?

"The Greatest Showman" is the next big movie that we can relate to the next to the 1941 film "Dumbo," that takes our imagination to the next level of what we can imagine what the circus is like.

Life is about taking risks and going after your dreams. From a very young age, the main character started from nothing and was nothing in the society he grew up in. He dreamed of many dreams and started from the bottom and worked his way up the ladder of success. As many of us can relate we are still looking for our niche in life. We may go from job to job, but nothing feels right and then we turn one new experience into something grand.

This movie has everything wrapped in one. It has action, romance, and a great soundtrack. The words to the songs are so uplifting and they will have you smile and tap your toes each time.

This movie also has Zac Efron in it who is a dream to look at. No matter how many times I watch the movie my heart stops and wonders if he will make it out alive? (if you haven't seen the movie watch it so you know what I am talking about!) This movie took seven years to make and it is every bit of great wrapped in one. It takes our dream of the circus and tells a story of one of the most famous people the circus knows today.

This movie not only teaches us that if we fall, but we also need to get back up again and try again.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
