Some themes in my life are when I broke a light bulb. I learned to never try to screw in a light bulb without any parent supervision. Another theme in my life is never mess around with a computer because I was at my friend's house and we were playing with her mom's computer and we broke it and they or my parents had to pay for a new one. The really bad thing was that all of her work papers were on her computer. My theme was never mess around with something that isn't yours or expensive.

my theme is that as you get older you have to act like more of a grown than a little kid and if you apply yourself to your work than you can get somewhere in you life.

A theam from my life is "believe in yourself and you will succeed". I was extremely scared to audition for Good Time Singers, but I did really well at the audition which resulted in me getting in. That is proff of believing in yourself working well.

My theme is Legos. I like to build with my Legos a lot. I have built Big Ben and the White House. I also like going to Lego Land in Florida. I saw big Lego buildings and the Lego Factory, a shop. I like to play Legos with my cousin Ben. I have always liked Legos since I was little.

A theme in my life is that things aren't always going to come easily and that you have to work to earn those things. Also that you shouldn't judge a person by their looks and that you should get to know them before you assume something about them.

I agree, I study and do my homework in order to do well in school. Also didn't just step on the basketball court and become good automatically, I had to practice.

A theme in my life is pain is mental. It is a very important theme because in football you have to be tough and be able to take big hits. Also it helps when you get in a fight so if you get hit it won't effect you that much and you can win.

A theme in my life that my mom always tell me is that if I put my mind to it I can accomplish anything. Kinda like how I want to be a nurse when I grow up she says if I put my mind to it I can accomplish it.

I agree because throughout my life I have had to work for things I want. For an example when I started to play the piano I was horrible but I still wanted to get better. I kept practicing and got much better.

A theme I learned in my 12 years of experience is that you can't always rely on other people to do things for you. As you get older you have to start acting like it. You have responsibilities now and people aren't going to do everything for you like they used to like waking you up in the morning or making sure you're homework is done. So you have to figure things out on your own, you have enough knowledge to know right from wrong. No one is going to be there every minute of your life to tell you what to do so its all you to you to make the right choices.

One of my favorite books is called "Wonder" by Raquel J. Palacio. One of the themes in the book is that if you like someone or even love someone you should stand up for them no matter what their differences or how they look. In the book,Auggie is made fun of because of his deformed face. His friends don't exactly stand up for him. But his friends realize they are wrong and help him find his way through middle school. This book is very good because of the themes the characters learn and I definitely recommend it.

one theme in my life is if you are willing to work at something the you will succeed if you put in the effort you can accomplish your goals, but if your the best of the best right now and you don't work at whatever it is you do everyone that works at it will either catch up to you or get completely better than you which is motivation to work hard

A theme in my life is that "life isn't fair." When I was younger, I always wanted to get something at the store and my mother would always say no. So when my mother did say no, I would always get mad because I didn't get the thing that I wanted. Also, maybe at summer camp when I don't want it the way I want it to be, I would say "that's not fair!" Almost everyday in my life I hear someone say "life isn't fair."

A theme in my life is "if you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything". This happened in my life when I tried out for my travel lacrosse. I was worried that I wouldn't make it because I was a little smaller that everyone else but I tried my hardest and ended up being a starter on my team.

A theme that my family has is "Don't count the days. Make the days count". This means that instead of going though your life like every day is boring, make use of your time. It means to live in the moment instead of counting the days until something happens.

I like your theme that said "No one is perfect" because it's true no one is perfect. Even if they were, it would be awfully hard to have a perfect life. Not that anyone has a perfect life. Also, everyone at least makes one mistake in their life.

A theme from my life is, the only thing that makes you have a good or bad day is yourself. For example if your not having your best day, don't make it worse by acting worse and not doing your best because that will lead to more bad things during your day, but if you think positively and do your best, then you will feel better, trust me. This may sound really cheesy and stuff but it works, I've tried it myself.

A theme in my life is that nothing will ever be normal because life is too complicated to even try to have a normal day. even if you try to have a normal day something will go terribly wrong or something will be too perfect. For instance, you could go to a sports try out just to have fun with your friends and try not to make the team or you can try your best, be serious about the whole thing, try to make the team and not make the team.

in the book "Percy Jackson and the Battle of the Labrynth" the theme is friends will be by your side and help you know matter what. Annabeth ans Percy go search for Grover when he is missing. They stop everything they are doing for their friend and stop at nothing till they find him. Also, Annabeth, Percy, Tyson and Grover all stick together in the Labrynth looking for Daedalus' office to get princess Araidane's magical string before look does to be able to get around the Labyrinth. The stick together through the whole book and put friendship first and help each other the best they can.

A theme in my life is that you have to work for what you get. As you get older, you learn that everything isn't going to be handed to you in life and that you have to work to earn. As a kid you get everything handed to you but as you get older you have to start working.

My theme is that nothing is impossible you can do anything if you try and put you mind to it. For example when we got a trampoline I could never do a backflip and I thought it was impossible and I was scared I was going to hurt myself. Then one day I tried to do it and landed on my neck then I tried again and did it! My theme is that nothing is impossible.

A theme in my life is "You gotta keep your head up, never let your head down." Nobody's perfect and when you make mistakes it sucks sometimes. But if you get down on your self then it makes everything worse, so if you stay positive things will work out one way or another.
