Hi P8(:
I found this interesting story and decided to share it with you guys.
Stand Tall Like The Sunflower- Tony Masiello
I find it humorous sometimes that even the most mundane occurrences can have an impact on our awareness.
My wife, daughter, and I moved into our home nine years ago and we spent a lot of time and energy in the yard to get it looking like it does today. We live on a corner, higher than street level, and the entire side of the yard is encased by a professionally built rock wall. The front of the house though is another story because instead of a wall along the sidewalk the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish.
We did the best we could with what we had to work with and called this area our 'rock garden'. Whenever we had left over flowers or plants, Denise or I would stick them out front, just to bring some color to the area.
I still do all of my own yard work, even the dreaded weed-pulling. After putting on my knee pads I assume the position to clear the yard of weeds, even in the rock garden.
Last summer I had reached the end of the rock garden and found a tiny little plant that I could not immediately identify. I knew I didn't plant it and Denise claimed that she didn't either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could figure out what it was.
Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the mystery plant, it appeared to be a Sunflower. It was spindly looking with a tall skinny stalk and only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The Sunflower had not started where I saw the stalk begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.
That's when I realized that if a tiny little Sunflower didn't let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the capability of doing the same thing. Once our environment begins to see that we believe in ourselves like that little Sunflower, we can attain the same nourishment and nurturing as well.
First, we need to believe in ourselves knowing we have the capabilities in achieving our desires. Like the Sunflower, it knew it had the capability to overcome its obstacle because it trusted in the Universal Truth and had faith it would succeed.
Stand tall like the Sunflower and be proud of who and what you are and the environment will begin to support you. You will find a way to go under or around your big obstacle in order to reach your desires.

Hello!!! This blog is playfully made by Samantha and Nicholette in their desperate attempt to do a PDP present for their Year 4s when they were in Year 1. However, due to some unforseen circumstances such as being unable to find their seniors' year 1 photos, they decided not to officially announce this blog.
However, in a renewed hope to show their effort one more time after 2 years, they decided to officially publicise this blog again.
Hence, if any patrol says they were the first to make a blog, do not believe them :D

敬请期待咯!
Way out upon the rolling prairies
In days gone by.
Came the courageous pioneers,
New lands and homes to try.
They bravely faced the toil and hardship
When drought brought gloom.
But still along the lonely roadways
Shone the big sunflowers bloom.
Fitting emblem of the people
Who fought drought and gloom.
Still shining forth upon the prairie
The golden sunflowers bloom.
Then let us all go bravely onward
Till our work's done.
E'en though the fierce black rolling blizzards
Darken the noonday sun.
We know they cannot last forever,
They pass away,
But still along the dusty highways
The sunflower greets the day.
Fitting emblem of the peopleWho fought drought and gloom.Still shining forth upon the prairieThe golden sunflowers bloom. So we will always stay in Kansas,
Here make our home,
Though the big, crowded, noisy cities
Entice us all to roam.
But out upon the quiet prairie
There's lots of room.
Here we will live in sweet contentment
Circled by the sunflower's bloom.
Fitting emblem of the peopleWho fought drought and gloom.Still shining forth upon the prairieThe golden sunflowers bloom.
