Rule for Life


In Language Arts class, you will all be reading the novel Bud, Not Buddy. In this book, by Christopher Paul Curtis, Bud has a set of rules on how to live his life. For example, rule #328 says:

"When you make up your mind to do something, hurry up and do it. If you wait, you might talk yourself out of what you wanted in the first place."

Make up a list of 10 rules, that you could use in your life. They can be humorous or serious. (This blog does not need to be 100 words)

4) Think about what Jesus would want you to do
