Appendages

I was...

I was young.
I was weird.
I was really weird.
I was friendly and made friends.
I was made fun of sometimes by my friends.
I was making fun of my friends sometimes though.
(This is Aidan Wells)

I was made fun of for having a big nose.

I was carefree about being made fun of because I have fantastic appendages on my hands.


I am truly thankful for these appendages that we call fingers. They have been with me for as long as I can remember and have allowed me to accomplish multitudes of tasks that I never thought was possible. They were with me when I ate my first slice of pizza, they were with me when first learned to dive into a pool, and they were with me when I first entered Millbrook High School. Some of the experiences I just listed were better than others, but nevertheless, my fingers were always there. As I come to a close of my high school career I have thought a lot about what I might miss when I pass through through the parking lot on my last ride home from high school ever. It is hard to determine the exact things that I will miss because everything seems so normal now. Falling into the routine of 7:20am to 2:20pm everyday was easy, but falling out of it might not be so. However, as I delve into the new routines of my future life I am almost certain that my appendages will be there with me every good and bad step along the way. While this may seem silly, I think it is an important message to realize. There are certain parts of you that knows the past memories created, which makes heading into the future a whole lot easier. As we go throughout life, we progress and we learn. This allows one to grow on a daily basis and take each day as a new adventure. Something I look forward to doing throughout the rest of my life.

Thank you Mrs. Genesky for creating the blog assignments and for being a great teacher! They were fun and my appendages wrote them all for me.  

Peace out.

  1. Dear Ryan, you probably will not be reading this, but I liked your post! LOL I can not tell if Mrs. Genesky thought it was funny or not, but good job. I like your outlook on the future, and I thought you were creative with the post (especially with the appendages part). I also really like those pictures of you. I hope people do not make fun of you too much.

  2. Ryan although i disliked a certain picture on this post I think this was overall creative, clever, and a good depiction of who you were. You're a true friend.

  3. After reading this I will never look at my fingers, aka appendages, the same way. What you said about your fingers being there every step of the way has made me think of how even though people around us influence us and change us, we are the ones who create our future and ourselves really. We decide what we want to do but we are always the same, even if people and places come and go we still have ourselves to create something new and make new friendships. really like the pictures and hey... you do have some pretty nice appendages. Good job Ryan.
