Wow, it was wonderful to get to know all of you!  :)  You are all great people and you have wonderful memories.  Thank you for sharing them.  I missed class on Monday so I thought that I would share all of my moments too. 

Something that makes me feel warm would be my associates degree.  I was so happy when i received it from Palo Alto College.  I was very proud of myself.  I can't wait to get my certificate to teach!  That will definitely make me feel warm inside too.  :)

Something that makes me cry would be a picture of one of my best friends.  His name is Aaron.  He was a year older than me and he passed away in a car accident.  It was the year we had that horrible freezing weather.  The roads were very icy.  He did not know how to drive in these conditions.  I can't believe that he went to work that morning.  He had so many best friends.  That is the type of guy he was because he loved life and everyone in it.  I miss him so much!  I think about him all of the time.  He asked me one day, while we were both attending Palo Alto College, if I would miss him when he joined in the military.  I told him that he would be missed by everyone.  I didn't even want him to go, but I never told him that.  He said that school was not for him and he needed to figure out what he was going to do for the rest of his life.  I backed him up on his decision and I wish I could have seen him join, but he passed before.  I will never forget him.  It is hard to loose such a wonderful person.  He is remembered by the entire town of Devine and his family.  We are all better because of him.  Thanks Aaron, for everything.  I decided to elaborate on this memory because it has been a while since I have expressed my feelings about him.   

Something that is from a long time ago would be a rock.  This rock is very old.  My great grandmother gave it to me when I was very young.  I can't believe that I remember her giving it to me.  My mom didn't even know that she gave it to me.  I was talking about it years later and she almost started to cry.  This rock has the Virgin Mary holding Jesus in her arms.  Every time that I feel that I need to talk to someone or I just need someone there I turn to this rock.  It means so much to me.  :)  

Something that makes me laugh would be all of my old letters that I kept from Middle School.  I only kept the ones that meant something to me, but it is so funny to see an old friend and show them what they wrote.  They love it as much as I do.  lol

Something that is precious as gold in my life would be my niece and nephew.  Well my entire family falls under this category too.  I love spending time with them.  They make each day count.  They are my motivation, my heart, my passion, my memories, my everything.  I love them all very much.  :)
