Make the Cut?


            This week’s assignment is a little uncomfortable for me. Although teenagers are quick to judge, that is not who I am…for the most part. I pushed it to Wednesday’s blog date because it was so hard for me to think that I would have to read through a bunch of people’s personal blogs and tell them that their righting is horrible. As I red the first blog though, I realized, most of these blogs are going to be really good.
            The first blog that I read was Catherine Ranaudo’s. Her blog about her parents divorce was well written and made me think. One of my worst fears is getting a divorce and being in the pain that her mother felt. That’s what I consider a good post, something that can make me think. Something that can also make me feel different emotions.
            I chose to read Weston Gambardella’s blog next. I figured that considering he puts so much insight in class his blog posts would have the same effect. The first thing I noticed was his titles. Things like, “practice makes perfect, but nobody is perfect, so why practice?” That wasn’t my favorite blog though. My favorite on his pages was, “overcoming obstacles.” It made me think about something that we don’t think about nearly enough: the fact that we (each individual) are not the center of the universe. I believe this is something that we forget way to frequently and was very mature of him to put something so thoughtful onto a blog read by a bunch of teenagers.
            Bethany Castellano’s blog, “Boston Girl takes on Southern,” not only has a catchy name but it is also very well written. “Eat. Sleep. Success.” was the blog that I was most into. I really enjoyed how so explained how we need sleep whenever we can and not just when it is socially acceptable. For a girl who loves naps, this is a motto I live by! Her blog itself was very cute and drew me in from first glance.
            At the end of all of these blogs, I’m sure I could give you good parts about all of them. For me, these blogs were three that I was drawn into and held my interest.
