My restaurant is Subway which is located all over America
but more specifically on Main Street in Altamont. Subway is just you average
sub shop. When you walk in the first thing that you notice is the walls, they
are covered in wallpaper that is also a map of New York City. This is a cool
novelty and it gives you something to look at while you eat. One thing that
strikes you when you enter though is that it is very cramped. With the sub
making station and the seats in the shop is doesn't leave much room for you to
stand and when it is busy it can become very congested. When you are ordering
you food you go through a step by step process. You first start with the bread
then the meat then finally the veggies for your sub. This is a very convenient
process and it doesn't take long at all to receive your made sub. Unfortunately
though subs are about all Subway has to offer. They do have breakfast foods and
some salads but these are limited and their main money maker is their subs. throughout
the sub making process the service is decent. The way that the subs are made
requires very little service because you are just telling the people what to
put on the sub, but they do a very good job with that. All in all the service
is very good for not having that many opportunities for service. Then comes
paying for your food. This to me is what makes Subway a good restaurant. You
can get a foot long sub from anywhere from $5-$11. This is a fantastic price
for the quality of the food. With all this in mind I would completely recommend
Subway to anyone. The atmosphere is very cozy and makes you feel very
comfortable. This coupled with the fact that you can get delicious food for an
amazing price makes Subway a must try.

The Book that Changed My Life
One of my favorite books is The Hobbit by J.R.R.
Tolkien. When I first picked up this book I was in fifth grade and I barely got
through the first chapter. I thought that it was the stupidest book ever. Then
the next year in sixth grade I decided to try the book again. This time I made
it past the first chapter and finished the book. From the minute that I stated
the book that second time till the finish I loved every page of it. Throughout
my life I have always had a guilty pleasure for things that I can geek out to,
especially fantasy with dragons and elves. The Hobbit also portrait how
my life was at that time. At that point of my life I was in a very adventurous
phase. Every day my best friend, Marc and I would go exploring and everyday it
would be something new. I feel that this helped me connect to The Hobbit.
I felt a connection to Bilbo Baggins as he went throughout his adventure. At
the time I didn't fully appreciate the book to the fullest but over time I have
come to appreciate it greatly. I find it amazing how Tolkien was able to, even
in the dull parts, make the book exciting. I am pretty sure I have never been
so entertained reading about people walking though mountains. But somehow
Tolkien made that fascinating. Also the way that Tolkien made you relate to
every charterer was amazing. Even with small, irrelevant characters Tolkien
took his time and introduced each character and made you feel some sort of
connection. Throughout The Hobbit I was fully entertained and made a
connection with almost every page making The Hobbit up there in my
favorite book list.

Bucket List
1) Run a marathon- This is a huge goal for me. I have been a runner for a
couple of years sow and I think that it is safe to say that I am pretty good at
it. Running a marathon would be the ultimate way of proving to myself that I am
a good runner and show myself I can do whatever I set my mind to.
2) Visit Greece- I consider myself somewhat of a history buff and Greece very much interests me. I think that it would be very cool to see that old side of Greece. I mean it’s practically a portal to the past and who doesn’t think that's cool?
3) Go to UVM- UVM has been my college of choice for a few years now. Not only because it has a nice history program and that is what I think that I will major in but also because of the location. Vermont is a perfect place where I could both run and ski and always be outside.
4) Get Married- I think that this is a goal for most people and I am no exception. It would be very nice to settle down somewhere with someone that I love and share our lives together.
5) Climb all the Adirondack Mountains- It would be awesome to become a 46er. It would be a huge accomplishment. This coupled with the fact that I like climbing mountains makes this a big goal.
6) Graduate high school with a GPA over 95- It would be awesome if I could sit on the stage during graduation. This has been a goal of mine since 9th grade. Unfortunately last year I didn't have a great GPA but this year I have been working hard to reach that 95 GPA and I am almost there.
7) Visit all the states in America- I think that it would be very cool to be able to say that you had been in all the states. Unfortunately I am not that far along on this goal but I hope to do a lot of traveling after high school.
8) See the ball drop at Times Square- Every New Year’s I watch the ball drop and I think that it would be very cool to see it in person. It would be a whole different view on something I have seen many times.
9) Run at states for cross country in my senior year- Being able to run at states would be an amazing experience and I could achieve this. By my senior year our varsity cross country team will be very good and I believe that we will have a strong chance of going to states as a team.
10) Go skydiving- The idea really frightens me but I think that it would be extremely fun. Also it is
relatively safe and I feel that it could be a life changing experience that would be very cool.

The Language of Song
Song used: So Wie Du Warst by Unheilig
Song lyrics English and German: http://lyricstranslate.com/en/so-wie-du-warst-way-you-were.html
I sit at home and just wonder, why, why did this have to happen. Just the other day it seemed so fine and everything was going great then suddenly something went wrong. During this it felt so perfect but now, now I see. That for a long time it has been charging towards us. Something impossible to dodge that was bound to happen sometime but it’s sad to see it happen now. I hate to see this end but I know that it is for the better. It is better that it happens now rather than later. Even though it hurts now it will get better and we both know this.
Throughout this whole thing how could have I been so blind. To not see the cracks appearing in the path, but I was naive and now it is coasting me. Now as I walk around I cannot find joy in much of anything. Even things that used to bring me such joy, like ice cream and music all seem to just remind me of the pain. When I have to see you though it is the worst. Whenever we pass in school I feel it right to the core, like a stab in the stomach. I know that one day this will all be better but I hope that it is sooner rather than later.
I know that all good things must go, but maybe this wasn't a good thing. Maybe you were more poison than sugar and now I am finally free. My only hope is to one day find someone like you and once that time comes I will strike swiftly. For now though, I will just keep my peace and slowly move on with my life.
