Freshman Reflection

During my freshman year i have come to not hang with the people that i used too. In eight grade i hung with a lot of dumb kids, they never did thier work but they were so funny thats probably why i hung with them. But i know that my choice of type of friends didnt change but the people that i keep in my circle did. They are more mature than my old friends and talk about things that make sense even thou its off topic. I like them better.
I see my old friends as little kids because they are still doing the same thing as we used too, but im in high school now so i dont wanna do that stuff no more. My freshman year i realized that my thought process has changed completely. last year i would think about parties and girls and that would cloud my thoughts from whats important. I still think of things that are not on topic all the time but its more mature than last year. Now i think of my family and how i can get a job in  the summer.
I think ninth grade changed me because i am around a bunch of older kids that are more mature than me so too fit in i had to act older than i am. Everyone in Parkway act like adults so i have to fit in so i wont classified as a young bull or underclassman. My ninth grade year did a positive change because it got me awayfrom the stupidness i used to hang with. So i say thank you to my ninthe grade experience because i changed into a more mature person for my age. That my nith grade reflection.

This i believe

i believe that gay people are to be respected and treated like they are normal, because there is nothing wrong with them. Homosexuals are the free spirits of the world. They arent afraid of being who they really are and they dont care about what others have to say, and i respect that about them. I have a gay friend named alex, he isnt abnormal except for he like boys but i still see him as a good friend and i will not turn my back on him because he is gay. We have been friends for at least two years and i really enjoyed the time we spent together. I am not gay, but that doesnt mean i have to dislike homosexuals. Some of my idols are gay. For example Neil Patrick Harris is gay but i dont care he is an awesome actor and his sexuality doesnt color my opinion of hm.
I think if you are scared of homosexuals then you are secretly gay. Because not liking gays is like saying "im gay but i cant be friends with a gay person so people wont know that im gay." I dont really care about what people think of me or who im around so i hang with who i want to, so i believe that gays should be respected.
