Today you began watching "Defending Your Life." Prior to viewing the movie, we discussed the idea of perceptions and creating a perception of ourselves. In this blog, write your eulogy focused on how you would hope that, in the end, people would think about you. This will probably take at least 15 sentences for you to truly reflect on this moment.
Good luck!

Jacob Castner was a pretty good kid. Whenever i was down on my luck, he would share the love. No matter what it was, money, food, whatever. If you needed it and he had it, he would hook you up as long as you were cool with him. All he asked was that you got him back sometime. In the end, he created a very open, giving atmosphere with those he was closest with. Got into some trouble, long past the point of caring now. He lived the way he saw fit, and it's a good thing he did, too, because now he's gone. Dead at 16, this is truly a loss for those who knew him.

In the end i hope to be know by more than my family and close friends. I want the world to know who i was and what i did. I dont want to go down as a bad person either, i want to be known as a great person not a criminal. Maybe discover something amazing or build somthing spectacular. I think that right now i am a little far from this and my priorities arnt set on my life goals as of now. I need to get my life straight and take some time to make sure my future is set not just my life now. Alot of people want to be know for great things but i dont want to be like them. I dont want to be know as a great movie star or actor/singer i want somthing that will last. Maybe the first president to acctually revolutionize america and make it #1 again. I want to do somthing like discover the first Trex in 100% perfect condition or find a way to stop global warming, somthing that will put my name in the books for life not in lights for a hour. As i read other posts i realize i went in a different dirrection for this one sorry about that.

Kevin was someone that didn't want people to mourn too much at his death. He believed that death was as natural and healthy of an action as being born was. He felt because life is spontaneous, it shouldn't be drawn out forcefully. For life to be important, it doesn't need to go to on for more than a second. And although there was no real reason to continue living, he realized the opportunity presented by death. This opportunity is to figure out what life is all about, by taking it away. Kevin understood his disappearance as this particular form, or organism, was just seasonal, or like the crest of a wave. The one thing that Kevin wanted to accomplish with his death was to set an example for everyone to re-examine their views on death. He wanted his death to be a celebration, as well as a natural event. Kevin felt death has been institutionalized out of the way, to the point where it almost doesn't happen. To embalm people and keep them from decomposing is an action purely exclusive to humans. This seems wrong, because Kevin didn't feel as if it was an indignity to be reused by the planet. Especially because humans consume without giving anything back. He felt death is liberation because the fact that at the point of death, you aren't able to stop changing, and that nothing can be held onto.
Robert Sheetz was a very respectful person. He had everything that you would want from a teenager. He never really asked for too much in life besides to have somebody there to guide him the right way. Although he had some trouble in life he was a very good kid. He has had a rough passed but I believed he had good intentions. I never really understood how someone like him could go, but he's in a better place now. Robert had so many goals in live too and he was on his way to achieving many of them. It's a very sad time when somebody like him could pass away. He never really got into trouble at his home with all his family, although he didn't really get along with his sister because she was always mean to him but that's how siblings are towards each other. People always looked at him in the wrong way only because of his appearance but once they got to know him they changed the way the viewed him. He was never disrespectful to anybody and he was never late for anything unless there was something big going on in his life. He also took full advantage of his work and took a lot of pride in what he has done. It's a shame that he had to pass away in the way he did.
Brittany Jeannette Barron was a woman with a lot to offer in life. She was kind, she was caring, and she was talented. She only wanted two things in life; to be loved and to be remenbered. She lived a full life and was grateful everything that she had. She was a talented designer and a gifted artist. She deticated her life to making the world a more beautiful through art and clothing. She was a loving wife and a devoted mother. She was there when people needed her and was a very chairtable person. Was donoated great amounts of time, moeny, effort to make children more open to art and fashion. She believed that clothes were not just something you wear on yor body but something you wear on your soul. She was who wanted more out of life than just money or power. She wanted love. She will be forever missed.
I would like to note that I find this rather morbid.
Stefan was, what one may call the consummate artist. Exacting in every detail, fulfilling in his innermost need. I'm sure that that is what you would like me to say, but I don't like to lie. Stefan will be remembered as an ass, yet one who knew he was one and allowed him to be redeemed in that small way. Do not think of his loss as a tragedy, but as a lifting of a burden upon the world. For, in his innane stubbornness he left many agape with abject horror and grey hairs aplenty. While one may question my sanity at saying this, you must all realize that this is from the heart. The heart which, thankfully I can say Stefan did have. For all of his acerbic yet, delightfully sagacious banter, he was but a simple man. Never asking much of anyone and always being there to hold the door for the little old ladies whom smell like musty kitty litter. I hope we shall come away from this with a renewed sense that, Stefan was but a man. Human, in all qualities and filled with the flaws shared by each. Perhaps, not unique in any way besides the fact that he was he. For, in the illusion of existence, he was my only real friend.
And yes, I did spend quite some time thinking about this one.
Panos Souvatzidis was a man that thought of other people before himself and was always there if you needed help with anything. Sports was his favorite hobby in life and he wanted everyone to realize that even with a handicap, anything is possible. Panos was the person that if you were down, would come up with jokes that raised your spirits up almost immediatly. Panos believed that in order for people to get along together, someone would have to step up and take the responsibiity to make the world a better place instead of waiting for someone else to do it. Even though Panos had a very big ego, he had a right too because of his athleticism, he did things that people thought would be impossible for him to do. Panos always gave more than he asked for and never was worried about life.

Scot Wilson was probably one of the funniest and talneted kids I have ever known. Scot was a very kind person. For the most part he put other peoples needs in front of his own. This is how he had so many friends including myself. There are so many examples I can give of his kindness, and his care for others. Scot was also one of the funniest kids ive ever known. He was most known for quoting movie lines. He knows more movie lines then a lot of people I know. He would also crack a joke every now and then to make moments less awkward. He had this really funny joke that I probably shouldnt say. Scot was also a very athletic person. Probably the most athletic person I have ever known. One of the best football players in the state(even though he had limited play time). He always gave it his all to become a better athlete every practice, and every time he is in the weightroom. He didnt just play spors, he also was a sports finatic. He loves watching sports and knew more than anybody I know about the good sports(football, basketball, thats about it). Scot Wilson was a stand up guy and im sure everybody will miss him.
Jesse was a nice person, a good person, if anyone wanted something he would more than likely help you with anything you wanted. He always wanted what was best for his friends and family. He never wanted to antagonize people. Most of his time was spent with his family, at home and at baseball. He enjoyed baseball, hunting, chilling in his pool, and playing video games. He will be deeply missed.
Janet Alejandra Velazquez was a trust worthy friend. ALl her friend loved her. Janet had many good friends but only some bestfriends. She was a caring grl and a very out going girl, if a friend called her over, she will say yeahh. If you needed advice, a place to crash,she was always there. She was a trust worthy friend becasue we would tell her anything, jst to let things out of our chest and i never had her backstabbed me. She was not a backstabber, she would tell you things stairght out. She was always happy, wit a smile on her face never sad, and easy to get a long with. Altho, not all friends get along, she was always with everyone, to make them feel better if there were problem btwn them. Janet was a nice girl to get along with, if you just said "hey" and be nice. She would say "hey" bak. She was always with her family, or her cousins or friends. Family ment everything to her. Janet had a big family that loved her alot. Parents that she adored and they loved her as well. A lil sister that she cared bout alot. Even tho they fought alot, deep in there she loved her.
As we gather today, let us remember and celebrate the life of Ryan Moore. Remember that death is not final, rather a temporary separation from our beloved who will be brought back to life on the Day of Judgment. This man's passion was in his prayer and his music. Conversing with Ryan was a joy, as he was always smiling and always happy - he was an optimist. However, he didn't see the glass half full. Rather he saw exactly what was in the glass; he was a realist. He very much disliked confrontation with others, but would protect and stand next to - not behind - his family and friends. He was open to new ideas and accommodated or assimilated new approached into his existing schema. He was not afraid to step out of his comfort zone, and as such he often did in order to get a cheap thrill or experience a new thing. Besides playing his beloved guitar and creating music, Ryan's favorite thing to do was a simple one: he simply enjoyed sitting outside on his bench-swing and enjoy the starry nights while listening to his music device. Ryan was a strong advocate of forgiving and forgetting, and oft gave out a second and third chance to those who had made mistakes. Let us not forget this wonderful man. His music and his spirit will forever live on in our hearts. Let us bow our heads in prayer for the dead.
