Illustration on Signs
It is probably a good thing people don’t live by their signs totally, or it might just be a scary place. The only way people would get along is if their signs matched. Being a Capricorn has many benefits. I may not be the only member in my family with just this sign, but I am sure to have my own day. Two relatives have birthdays on the 8th of January and the 10th of January; however, I wanted my own birthday on the 9th of January. Being a Capricorn I have strong will power, am a natural fighter, and be very headstrong. When I was 16, who thought he was king tut, I started to smoke cigarettes. It wasn’t more or less peer pressure but my dad doing it, and then allowing me to do it. So why wouldn’t a 16 year old do the “cool” thing? I puffed away all the way to adulthood, but hiding it from my family here in Iowa. Don’t know why; guess I didn’t want to hear all the lectures and sighs. I heard them enough from my doctor. He kept telling me to quit, gave me brochures that were later discarded in his waiting room trashcan. I knew that when I did quit it would have to be all me. That day came just a few months ago. My niece wanted to race me and I couldn’t get a half a block done. I fell to my knees thinking I was going to die. Thing is, I didn’t quit then. My nephews loved to have me as their personal horse. It got on their nerves when the horse only got a foot or two and then collapsed.
