Edited Thursday, September 8, 2005 at 7:02 PM Look i wrote an essay for my English class, please tell me if i have any mistakes. My life as Scurry
Every now and then I read a book that has a message that impacts my life. The book that I just finished reading helped me figure out how I deal with change. Change is something that affects all of our lives, no matter if we like it or not. The book Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson is about two mice and two little people. These four cute characters lives depend on cheese, and cheese is a metaphor for material things or happiness in life. They each react differently when their cheese is gone. The mice Sniff and Scurry deal with change by moving on to something new; they don’t overanalyze the situation. However, the little people Hem and Haw do not adapt well to the change, so therefore they waste a lot of time trying to obtain something that is gone and never coming back. Eventually Haw realizes that sitting around waiting for “the cheese” will not make the change happen, so he takes off in search of the cheese. After reading the book halfway through I quickly realized that Scurry and I have a lot in common. Like Scurry I am always ready for change, also I am able to stay focused on my goal, and at the end when Scurry met up with Haw he was happy for his success of finding cheese.
Like Scurry I am always ready for change. When Scurry shows up to cheese station C, he sees that the cheese is gone, and the first thing he does is put his running shoes back on, and he takes off through the maze to find new cheese. He realizes what has happened, and he knows that it is coming, instead of overanalyzing he is off in the hunt for new cheese. “To the mice, the problem and the answer were simple. The situation at cheese station C had changed. So, Sniff and Scurry decided to change” (30). Just like Scurry I am always ready for change, I too realize that change is always coming, and early on in my life I had always prepared myself for it. When I was a child, my parents had jobs that required them to be constantly moving. I was always getting moved around from school to school. I would make a couple friends here and there, and then about six months later I had to say good-bye to everyone and move on and start all over again. I hated this change when I was younger; I wanted to stay in one location for a long time. Now that I am on my own and in college I no longer have to move around. But because of my childhood lifestyle, I am now eager to change. I have been living in Modesto for about 5 years, and I want to move to a different city. I want to carry on this type of lifestyle. I am always looking for change, and I realize that I cannot settle in one place. So just like Scurry if something occurs in my life that requires me to move I will be pleased to put my running shoes back on and take off through the maze in search of new cheese.
Just like Scurry I am able to stay focused on a goal. Throughout the book, Scurry comes across cheese stations that are supposed to have cheese, but once he goes inside them there is no cheese. He does not give up on his goal; he simply just reminds himself of cheese, and takes off again. Sometimes the smell of cheese fools him. He gets lost, and heads in a wrong direction, but he always gets back on track. “They didn’t think of anything else but finding New Cheese”(37). There was a time in my life when I was surrounded by a lot of chaos; everybody around me was trying to take away my goals. My goal was to graduate from high school. I wasn’t doing very well in school. I was failing some of my classes. I was hanging out with the wrong crowds, and I didn’t have any direction. One day I realized the importance of a high school diploma and a college education. So I met up with my counselor, and she figured out what classes I had to retake and told me how to stay focused on my goal, so I took her advice and focused on my goal. My friends were trying to get me off track, but I freed myself from them, and did extra tutoring and homework to achieve my goal. It wasn’t easy, but I maintained to keep a high GPA, and before I knew I had achieved my goal, I was graduating from high school.
Scurry and I also become happy for others’ success. At the end of the book after Scurry and his friend Sniff have found the new cheese, Haw finally meets up with them. What I really liked about Scurry is when he sees Haw, he becomes happy for Haw and greets him. I thought that was sincere. Instead of becoming jealous of the fact that Haw has found their prize, he is pleased. “Sniff welcomed Haw with a nod of his head, and Scurry waved his paw” (67). I also have this trait of becoming happy for my friends’ success. I remember when my friend was trying out for cheerleading for the 49’ers. She spent countless hours practicing the cheers, choreographing her dance routines, and staying in shape to make the team. I was there motivating and supporting her. When the big day came, to audition she called me and was crying because she had not made it. All her hard work and time was wasted. I am also a dancer, and in this situation most dancers would be relived that somebody would not make it. Because I am a caring person and I don’t get jealous, I felt bad for her. I tried to support her and let her know that she could audition next year, and I encouraged her to do so. The next year came, and she auditioned again, and this time she made it. We both went out to celebrate her success.
Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson, helped me figure out who I am; also I am proud of being like Scurry. I hope that throughout my life I can maintain this attitude towards change. I do not want to become like Haw. I want to be able to easily figure out the change and move with it. Life is a mystery, and you will never know where it will take you. There will be many unexpected twists and turns, and sometime in your life you will have to be able to let go of things in your life. You always have to be able to be ready to deal with change. After reading this book, you will discover who you are through these four characters. I discovered that I am Scurry, and I do what I do best and that would be to Scurry throughout my life.

—Stryker311 They may not have this in schools anymore--remember, I am old and decrepit--but back in the day, they had what was then known as the Presidential Physical Fitness Test. You were to be tested on strength, flexibility, endurance, etc. The broad jump was also known as the standing broad jump, and basically it's just a feet-together straight forward jump from a stationary position as opposed to a running start. —catloaf |

Saturday, September 10, 2005 at 6:25 PM I love how tatoo getters don't realize the message they send by covering themselves with graffiti. They're saying to the world: 1. I want to mark myself as part of a group
2. I think that marking myself as part of a group makes me MORE of an individual because my tribal markings are arranged differently than other tards doing the same thing.
3. I've convinced myself that marking myself up is original even though everybody's doing it.
4. I'm TOUGH because I can pay someone to permanently disfigure my skin.
5. I want to be super easily identifiable (part of the groupthink that goes along with it)
6. I am SOOOO tough that I don't want/need any privacy, as people can deduce all of the above about me from a considerable distance. My favorite:
