Time to Shine!?!

Let God Shine!

Time to Shine!?!
Alicia Sansone

Sunday Was Easter! Everyone has a different outlook on it. The one thing most of us have in common is when our families gather together! Some go to the park for an Easter egg hunt, or have a family dinner, or maybe go to church. For me and my family we celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ! I know most people including myself have overlooked the true meaning of Easter! Not everything is about the items we get each other. No, it's about the thought we put into it and the way we express our feelings! Most importantly to praise our Lord for everything he has given us and done for us!



It's hard sometimes to be grateful for the bad things but the fact is, if we aren't grateful, then how will the bad things ever turn into something good? You can always have a rude comment in your head, but it's your choice to say it. Our car could break down on us, but we have the money in a fund, (for something more important). Why get so mad over that when it's replaceable? Words can be altered. So can our feelings. I have found out first hand that the bad things I say or even think changed my whole outlook on life. Why not try and make our thoughts pleasant? What's the harm? All it will do is make you feel so much better!



God Saved my soul, saved me from this world and gave me eternal life with him! One day I will be seated with him at his table! I can't thank him enough for his sacrifice! And that is the real meaning of Easter, showing God the glory!



Happy Easter Everyone!!

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
