February Challenge: Day 26

To get out of German class every day, each of us students must say a "password".  For example, the password might be "Im Fruhling, spiele ich _____."  This translates to "In spring, I play _____."  We are supposed to fill in the blank.  One of our recent passwords was "Meine Familie ist______," which means "My family is______."  Many of the students ended the statement with words such as "boring," "stupid," or "annoying."  It made me sad to think that students think of their families this way.  Families are under attack right now.  Not physically, but spiritually and emotionally.  Many things are tearing families apart, or slowly pulling each member away from one another.  It's our job to try and keep our families together.  I love my family, and I am so grateful for them.  I wouldn't trade them for any other family.  I wish every teenager, or even every person, could truthfully say the same thing.  Try to show acts of kindness or patience with one another in the family.  Show them that you care.  This is something I strive to do each and every day.  I promise it makes you a happier person. :)  ~Sky
