School Life Is the Best Time in Human Life :D
Happiness, sadness and other emotions, or even love sick, we all can find in our school time. That's why school life is the best time in human life. It is different from university life and adult life, very different! As I showed you above, during this time, we will develop many things like physical development, emotions, relationships, and especially knowledge.
Because school life only happens one time in your life (because you will grow up), so it is very precious. It marks a dramatic change in your whole life. Firstly, the faster physically you grow, the more you develop in mental. It marks your developing time to become a teenager. You are innocent and carefree. Materialistic is none of your concerns. You also have wild imagination, big dreams and ambitions to chase. But as a teenager, you will want to be more independent - which means you don't like to depend on your parents like a little child. And sometimes may be you will feel mature and rebellious. There are other things that you change in school time, but the best thing is you are yourself to do anything you want as you grow up.
Secondly, going to school also means you will have a lot of friends. There is nothing better than belonging to a great group of friends and nothing worse than feeling like an outcast. Friends are important, so during this time make as many friends as you can. They are shoulders for you to cry on when you are sad or happy so your sadness will be less, and your happiness will be twice. Talking about school time, you can never forget the time you share your sweet dreams to your friends, and they tell you theirs; the time you have fun with them playing on the school yard or going shopping or even playing truant together! ... No matter how good or bad those memories are, school time is still unforgettable with sweet friendship and platonic love. Going to school also means you will have new family, new moms who teach you many things about life. Your life will be colorful and beautiful!
Three of all, school life is the best time because it's time we learn many things, our knowledge will be widen, in both social and academic. You will discover those things you called "mystery" when you were a child, such as: "Where does the sun come from and go away everyday"" or "Why can't the trees grow without water and sunlight"" ... They are really interesting lessons. As you grow up, you will continue to learn other things and have deeper thoughts about life. You can develop your hobbies and skills through activities. Learning how to work in a group and individually is also important. Especially, may be you will have your early career!
When you go to the university, you will have to put those schooling memories behind and have to face the new environment: campus. On the contrary, you need to work and study individually to prepare for future career (may be a part-time job). And you will feel more complicated due to a wave of students from all over the country. After graduating from university, you will start your own life as an adult. It is much more serious than you thought when you were in school time some years ago. Adult life is full of million complexities. Your first problem is to find a job and gain a high-ranking position. Then, you have to work and earn money to raise your family and have to be individually and not depend on anyone to make important decisions about your life...
Wow, there are many things to think about as you grow up. However, your school life is still the best time in your life. You have known that university life and adult life are more complicated than school life. You can't depend on your parents anymore. So school time is the time for you to prepare for life.
In conclusion, I just want to emphasis that school life is the very best time in human life. So when you are young and still going to school, you should make this time as beautiful and colorful as you can.

Who Jesus is for you?
Jesus was raised in Nazareth in the home of Joseph, a carpenter, and his wife Mary. Jesus most likely went to school in a room attached to the synagogue. He
was a faithful Jew and followed all the Jewish customs. Jesus was a human being.
God took on a human form in Jesus in order to live life like we do. God ‘s love for us is unconditional and infinite. To communicate with us in a personnel way like we do with our friends and family, there was no better way for God to be with us than for God
to become one of us. Jesus walked along the same roadways and experienced the same trials and tribulations as other people. Accepting Jesus as fully human is as important as accepting him as fully divine. Jesus experienced stress, anger, frustration and loneliness but he chose never to respond sinfully to these experiences. Given the choice between popularity and telling people the truth, he chose the path that ultimately turned people against him and led to his death.
Jesus is a role model for me. Like Jesus I have been baptized in the faith.
I was baptized as an infant whereas Jesus was baptized by his cousin John the
Baptist when he was about thirty years old. During his life Jesus was tempted in the desert by the devil three times to give up his complete dependence on God and accept the easy forms of power the devil offered. Jesus resisted for he knew that only his faith in
God would give him the power. As I grow up many times I am tempted to do the wrong
things. Doing the wrong thing is sometimes easier than doing what is right.
Understanding that Jesus also faced these obstacles and that prayer can help
you resist in these tough situations in life is reassuring to me.
Jesus taught his disciples and us how to pray. He taught people to pray
simply and trustingly to God as father, without trying to impress God with fancy language. Through Jesus I learned to talk to God like a son does to his father;
to say what is in your heart, to ask for guidance when you need to make tough
decisions.
Jesus has taught me to be thankful for all the blessing I have in life.
Blessing are not necessarily being rich in material goods. But being rich in the
things that matter most like the love and respect of family and friends. Jesus
teaches that in the Kingdom of God the usual values and priorities of the world are turned upside down. The poor are truly rich, the most powerful are the weakest and a person who wants to lead must first become a servant. Jesus could not stand hypocrisy and injustice and he let people know. The Pharises and the Sadducces debated with him
on the fine points of Jewish law and healing a person on the Sabbath a day of rest.
Jesus loved the law, but he could not bear to see it abused as a way to control people and put them down. By following Jesus example, I try to reflect on our laws and how they
effect all people.
Jesus taught that people should love not only their friends but their enemies as well. He lived this by example. He forgave those who persecuted him and betrayed him.
Even as he hung on the cross dying, he forgave those who put him to death. Many times
in my life I have gotten mad at people who I thought have betrayed me. It is easy to stay
angry or hold a grudge but then I think of Jesus and realize these things are petty.
If Jesus could forgive the people who crucified him my actions seem inconsequential.
Jesus has taught me to accept people who are different then me. Through him I
have learned not to judge people. I try to have an open mind with those that are
different from me. Jesus stood up for people who were powerless I try to help
those who are less fortunate then I am. Through my grandparents church I
donate clothes that I have outgrown, books that I have already read and sport
equipment which I have replaced to children who families are from foreign countries and can not afford to buy these things for their children.
Jesus lived many years ago, but the lessons we learn from him still apply today
in our lives. He taught me how to communicate with God, our father and how to live life with humility-a total openness to the call of God. By following Jesus teachings I can
show that we are all God’s children and we are all loved by God. Jesus is to me
a way to understand God which I can relate to. Jesus is God in a human form. He
has some of the same traits as God but also some of the same weaknesses I have.
He shows me that I can be close to God even though I am not perfect.
