Someone once said "With one sucess a thousand failures lie forgotten, but with one refusal to try, a thousand successes may prematurely die." This quote means that when you fail, that failure can be forgotten if you try hard to succed, but if you just give up, that failure will stay with you. I think that this quote could help a lot of people, especially kids, understand that just because you failed once, doesn't mean you will again. Millions of people try, if they don't succed, they give up, but this quote could help them believe in themselves. With this quote everywhere, the world would forget the failures, troubles, and hardtimes that we have been through will just disappear.

This also relates to real life now. Thomas Edison succeded through a thousand failures, but still succeded. So have I, for example, whenever I try to get a dance step right, it takes time. I kept failing, but eventually I got it. If everyone just did everything without failing, that would be a dream come true, but one problem. It's not reality, its a fairytale land. No one ever succededs without failing, not even famous people. Everyone we know now, didn't get to where they are now without failure.

Think of Miley Cyrus. She didn't just wish to become and international super-star when she wished for it. She tried and tried, sure she failed, but no one remembers that. Does that convince you now to work harder to strive for what you want? If it does, keep at your dream or goal and never give up no matter how many times you fail. I hope this quote actually means something to you.

Prompt 2:  Life is full of pleasant suprises. They also have a way of sneaking up on you. That's what makes the surprise even better, than if you asked for it. No matter who gave it to you or if it was home-made, everyone still loves it. For example, you always wanted a dog, and you asked for years, but your parents always said no so you just stopped asking. All of a sudden, you come home and see a dog on your bed. Now that's a pleasant surprise because you never expected to get a dog. Now, I'm going to tell you about my pleasant surprise.

When I was little, I came home that day and got the best surprise anyone could get. I was going to Maui, Hawaii. I could not believe it. I thought " This couldn't be real", but it was. I was going for about three weeks. I was so happy when my mom told me. I was having the worst day ever, and then look how happy I became with that little surprise. That was the best day of my life. See, you never know when the best surprise is going to come along. Even though you never expect it. Having a pleasant surprise is the best thing you could ever want. It brightens your day even when your day was the worst.

A few weeks ago when I went to California, I got the pleasant surprise that I have always wanted. My dad told me that, I was going to the Kids Choice Awards. I was so stuck in shock that I fainted. When I woke up I learned that it was the next day. I was so excited, I couldn't believe it. I had always watched it on tv and whiched I was there. Finally, I was getting to go. It was so cool and exiciting. I got to meet Miranda Cosgrove, Taylor Lautner and some others. I also got to go to the after party. It was fun because it had a bouncy slide. I will never forget it. ​

As you can see, there are many wonderful pleasant surprises that are possible. When you get your first pleasant surprise, be greatful. I'm pretty sure you will never forget your pleasant surprise.
