Words- Dorothy Z.

It's the most stressful time of senior year- college application time! Many of our most important words at the moment might include: stress, applications, scholarships, private, public, fees, sleep. The words most important to us change like seasons; it all depends on the time of year and our mood. We use words to communicate to one another whether by phone, through Facebook, or by advertising on TV. As humans, we can use words to uplift or degrade others, to persuade or analyze. Although our words constantly change, I think there are a few essential words people actually keep the same because they describe their values and goals in life. Mine are: attitude, freedom, beautiful, and refreshing. I believe attitude is everything- it can completely change your outlook on any situation. Freedom is so important to human nature because we have that desire to be our own people and not to be oppressed by any person or institution. Have you ever heard the old saying "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder?" I believe it is incredibly true. We all see beauty in a different way and it is so important to remember that there are still beautiful things in the corrupt world we live in. Finally, refreshing: since we are all human, we get tired and beaten down in life sometimes. People need that occasional vacation or cool glass of lemonade to refresh themselves.
