Well, I'd have to scan a lot of it or simply type it -- which would take a while. This is what my journal looks like -- except a bit more worn and used of course.
 
You guys should look into keeping journals. Here’s a short list of great men from history who kept journals: Theodore Roosevelt Thomas Jefferson Charles Darwin Benjamin Franklin Lewis and Clark Andrew Carnegie Ralph Waldo Emerson Captain Cook Winston Churchill Sir Edmund Hilary Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton You get the picture. |

No, but I remember reading something about a sergeant in WWII named George Koskimaki. He fought in hmmm...I'm pretty sure it was the 101st airborne division, but it might be the 82nd. They probably aren't the same guy, hahahah.

Nope that the guy. He was in 101 and he was in all 3 campains they did. He lives in michigan sort of near me. I met him at historic fort wayne detroit. He signed all 3 of his books for me.

Whoa -- I was right!
YOU MET HIM!? Gosh, that's insane, he's a legend! The 101st did some rough stuff. I'd love to hear his story about Operation Overlord. My grandfather served in (I'm not kidding) WWII as a soldier, Korea as a medic/dentist and Viet Nam as a dentist. |

Oh I got the quote wrong. The real quote is "for the men of the 101st airborne june 6th 1944 was a baptism by fire."

Yeah Hamers, I was the same. Always way ahead of everyone especially when it came to simply "thinking".
You're stuck with those kids now -- but in the future (maybe even in high school), you'll find yourself hanging out with an older crowd who grasp maturity. Most of my friends are 3-4 years older than me. Which is funny, because most think I'm older than them. |

Tch, it's all about the confidence mate. Roll with it, don't change yourself to conform to another designated group's set and beliefs. People will soon come to embrace and respect your individuality. Though -- don't expect that out of your 8th grade crowd, hahahah. This is just a normal part of the social development cycle where everyone makes fun of each other and learns boundaries. This is also a time where everyone "feels" each other out for later on in life. If you're weak now, people will look at you like you're a beta-male until you graduate.
tl;dr: Roll with the punches and stand out. But there's a difference between "hurr im gunna shop exclusivly at hot topic an den i will were a ton of eyeliner durrrrr anarchy! **** the world!!1111111" and being unique. Don't purposefully alienate yourself. Have the ability to relate yet to be unique. |
