We share the world with so many animals that it is hard to forget about a few even the ones that are in our backyards or on our desks. his is about animals that I have caught myself underappreciating.

1. Turkey Vulture

- Nature's garbage men that clean up the roadkill along the roads.

2. Bats

- With their sonar these flying mammals keep a handle on flying insect pests like mosquitoes and moths.

3. Betta Fish

- these fish are so intelligent that you can train them to do tricks like how to eat out of your hand.

4. Skunks

- these guys get a bad rep for spraying people. they only spray when the feel threatened or are scared.

5. Horseshoe Crab

- you may have seen these guys washed up on the beach and didn't think anything of it but did you know that they migrate and far more then a tank to take blood from?

6. Bees

- I will put it simple if we didn't have bees we wouldn't have anything. They pollinate the flowers that give us our fruits and vegetables.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
