The sun was beating down on my back, as I slowly finished my work for the day. My shift had ended a couple of minutes ago, and I slowly packed my items. For a second, I thought I had seen fire out of the corner of my eye. Smoke began to billow into clouds in the air. There was only one explanation for this, fire. Quickly, I panicked, but couldn't find a solution. I ran to find the source, but it seemed as if it were forever, until I got there. People began to scream in circles, and trees were crashing down with a loud "swish", or "bam." I tried to remain calm, and look for a water source, but the closest thing was a pail, and tiny puddle leaking from the side of the building. 
    Swiftly, I took the pail, and put water inside of it. One pail wasn't going to do the trick, so I tried to gather others, but the village had seemed abandoned by the time I got there. Surely there wasn't enough time to waste, so I ran. I ran deeper and deeper into the woods. Not knowing where I was going, I decided to stop for a breath of air. The village was now in an inferno, with buildings melting down in the intense heat. My village was no more.

Throughout the Middle Ages, many people from the past have been identified as important figures. Charlemagne was known as the Frankish leader, and ruler of a section of Europe. He ruled proudly, and had many followers. His reign soon came to an end though, simply because he was a weak ruler, with weak followers. He was one of the others from the Germanic tribe. Charlemagne stressed the importance of learning and teaching. He made education a well known fact. He made rivalries with the Roman empire in the, and in 800, Pope Leo the third came to bring his reign to an end. Charlemagne really wanted education to continue its growth. He hired Spanish scholars to come,and he even had different languages available to others.
         Charlemagne was supported until the very end. He had his kingdom built in the old province of the Roman Empire, Gaul. He was deliberately known as "Charle the Great," and continued to grow from there. Charlemagne was an important figure to the Frankish in this exact time period, and has made his fame clear and known. However, Charlemagne may have differed from the other leaders. He stressed education greatly, while other leaders might have not cared much about it. 

The modern day tradition is summed up to the fact that many people living in the U.S. make New Years Resolution. the Resolution might not prevail very long. Words and actions are two totally different things. For example, if your resolution was to lose weight, you might keep the resolution for a couple of weeks, then finally give up on it. Some people don't even make resolutions, probably knowing that they can't keep up with it. My New Years "Resolution" is to stop procrastinating so much. In the past year, all the time that I had to do homework, I most likely spent it leisurely, but that must come to an end. Procrastination can lead to many of the different problems, and issues, especially when attending school. To stop this process may seem simple, but it's not in reality. 
           To keep this "resolution," I must resist the urge to stay away from all distracting objects. Getting my homework done should be my first priority. Turning assignments in late, can lead to consequences. Priorities would be another thing that procrastination won't help. In actuality, I have tried to keep this resolution up in the past years, but it simply wouldn't work. My lack of seriousness was probably the main problem. In other words, it's nice to make a resolution, but it's better to keep up with it. My resolution differs from the many that prevail out there. Several people resolve to not eat as much, or to get healthier, or eat get more hours of sleep. Hopefully they will have the strength to do so for their resolutions.
