I will stand for what I believe in

In this short life I’ve lived I have experienced many events that have opened my eyes and given me the taste of the real world. They are like long life lessons that will guide me through life itself. The one I believe in the most is words can hurt.

I believe that words can hurt. Whenever people say, "Sticks and stones may break your bones but names will never hurt you" I find that untrue. Sticks and stones may break your bones but horrible words are like scars that will never fade. I try to take caution in what I say because it might injure another person. It’s a little like 1^st grade when you just insult people and laugh it off as a joke but when in actual fact it hurts. I remember it like when it was in 1^st grade because it was like that in 1^st grade for me. I was friends with people that were not supposed to be my friends. Everyday it’s always “Hey Sarah you look like a weird doll with those eyes!” Then it would be “I was only kidding can’t you take a joke”. That part really annoyed me and I could say I was annoyed with myself because I laughed it off like they did. It was hard to speak out because insulting someone then joking was sadly trendy in 1^st grade. I didn’t follow the trend so I was the odd one out I guess. In 1^st grade there weren’t any feelings. A lot of people just pretended to not have feelings, which I find pretty sad. After being insulted for the 8^th time I screamed, “I’ve had enough of this and I don’t think it’s funny so stop it! You probably will cry when you get home if I insulted you!” They just looked away with that different facial expression. Their faces look as if they were about to cry with pain. I walked away without saying another word. After this entire dilemma I realized that words can hurt even if you don’t mean them. Every word counts.

Battle of Hastings 1066

The game 1066 is based on the battle of hastings. The story tells us how the war was started. This is a logical thinking and strategy to win the opposite team. You can win the game if the opponent's morale falls to zero or if the men are dead. You can create certain formations like the boars snout or a simple sheild wall. All though the game is really fun and you could play it for hours the game contains violence but not seveare like when you kill another soldier blood splatters all over the screen. This game tells me about the different attacks and formations in a real medieval war.
