My weekend was what  felt like forever. Friday I worked from 4:00 to 11:00 in ligoneer. Their Pizza Hut is the smallest workplace I've ever been in. After work Friday I stayed with my friend Ashley, so we could go get our hair done for prom the next morning! We woke up at about 9:00 and headed over to our friend Bethannys so she could do our makeup! Ashley went first and then when I was getting mine done, Ashley went to grab us all some breakfast. After our makeup we all sat down and ate breakfast and then it was perfect timing to leave for our hair appointment at 11:00. I went first, she curled my hair and teased the back. She got a curly up do that hung down some. It was adorable! After our hair it was about 3:00, so we had a little time to take pictures and go to lunch before grand March. When we got to grand March, all the butterflies hit. It was terrible, haha! No one knew what they were doing! It was pretty funny. And then we all left for prom. The set up was really pretty! We all chose the table we wanted to sit at together. We all danced the whole time and had a great time!
Sunday I slept until 2:00 and I got up, showered, and then went straight to work at 4:00 and got off about 10:30. It was a long weekend.

Future

 how will you succeed?
Well, my plan is to begin by finishing high school. I'm actually an early graduate, meaning I'll graduate after one semester of my senior year, which is pretty exciting. After I graduate I'm going to begin working a full time job at a factory in ligoneer, I already have the job lined up for when I graduate. I'm still going to work at Pizza Hut on Saturdays, and I will have my Sunday's off.
After I turn 18, I'm hoping to have enough money pushed back to look for my own place. I want a smaller two bedroom house for starters, just so I can work my way up to something nicer. If none of this goes through my backup plan is to go to college and to work a part time job and save for a place after college. Hopefully it all works out but if not, I'll surly have a back up plan.

Why is this important?
This is important because it proves a very good point. People almost always seem to notice the bad over the good. People almost always see the worse in every situation. Not many take the little extra effort to have the good in the matter.

What did I learn?
I learned that I should always take that one last step to finish with my best work. To always push myself past my limit, to go beyond what I ever thought I could. I've learned finishing something, really can go a long way.

How can I use this?
This story really does open my eyes in a many of different ways.
It really motivates me to finish what I start. I've had plenty of assignments I've started and just left unfinished. I also have many stories I've left unfinished. I want to take this advice to heart and I want to begin a new start for myself, to finish my beginnings.

Why is this important-because having equal respect for each race is very important. To understand that respect for a human shouldn't have anything to do with there race, sex, or religion. Racisim is a strong issue.

Opinion-I think this man is right. How can we know what it's like to be black unless we become one of them? He's so right. African Americans have gone through hell and back and that's because of us whites. Does that give us something to be proud of? Because I personally find it embarrassing to our race.

Notes-
1. Wise felt strongly about racism.
2. Color isn't something we think of when we look in the mirror normally. It's not something we're always considering, it's just not something we keep in our mind.
3. Obamas election led to a change in society's direction

My book is "I hunt killers" by Barry Lyga. It's pretty good so far. This book mainly takes place in different fields, so far. Jazz follows cops to different investigations and sits afar with binoculars his father had given him a long time before hand. Right now the book is just going from crime scene to crime scene, as jazz gets more suspicious of each one. The internal conflict is that jazz doesn't really know how much he truly is like his father. The external conflict is that everyone thinks jazz will end up just like his father, as in it runs in the family. My protagonists are jazz, and sheriff G. William and William Cornelius debt. (jazz's father)

My day began Friday morning at about 7:00. I rolled out of bed and threw some clothes and left at about 7:30 to head to my dreaded high school. The day seemed like it lasted forever. After school I went home for about 20 minuets to get ready for work, and then left my house and went in at 3:00. I didn't get out of work until about 12:00 and stayed with my friend Trisha, since I worked the next day as well. We stayed up until about 5:00 talking and watching the movie "dazed and confused". I woke up at about 10:00 Saturday morning, took a shower and ate a banana while Trisha ran her and her daughter the the doctors. The rest of the day I just payed around and took little naps, and got up at 3:00 to start getting ready for work.
     I went into work at 4:00 Saturday night, and got off at about 11:30 and stayed at Trisha's again, because I had to work a double shift the next day. When we got back to her house we are some pizza and watched "fear and loathing in Las Vegas" and talked until about 4:00 the next morning and fell asleep. I got up at 10:00 and showered once again, and got read for work. I went in at 11:00 and had a short break around 3:00, and went back at about 3:30. The night seemed to drag on for what felt like forever. I got off Sunday night at about 9:30 and went to my friend kynlees house and had a bonfire and went to bed at about 2:00 this morning. We both got up at 7:00 and got around for school. On our way to school we, so conviently, got suck behind the railroad track construction and we were late to school. It was pretty aggravating, but now I'm at school sitting in class writing about just how much fun I had this weekend. Kidding!

Food video

1. All the birds mccdonalds purchase have to be almost the same size.
2.tyson declined the interview to see the chickens.
3. Corn has conquered the world in many ways.
4. They dig in cows stomaches.
5.ecoli has been found in beef, spinach, and apple juice
6. People order off the dollar menus because it's quick, cheap, and tastes good.
 This video really grosses me out. It's not even worth the amount of money it worth.

Do you ever smell the succulent scent of the roasted almonds while walking through a fair or festival? You're just walking around, starving for all the fair food, and suddenly this deliciously sweet smell overwhelms your senses. Now if your my age, and have parents who are low on money anyway, they just make you walk right past those beautiful roasted almonds. I know every time I smell them I just automatically get upset because I know there's no chance of me getting any. It's really upsetting. Honestly I'm a little sad writing this, because I don't have these almonds. 

   I do remember one time my mom got me some because she wanted some too. I got like 3 almonds, but God were they good. I like putting my from teeth on the crease of the almond and splitting it perfectly in half. The outside is a sweet sugary coat that just melts in your mouth. It's seriously the best feeling ever. I love them so much. Those almonds will be bought by my the next chance I get. Trust me.

This weekend will be a long weekend, I already know it. Today I have to go to goshen for a wedding rehearsal because I'm a bridesmaid in my cousins wedding. Tonight we be going over every little detail of the wedding, which I know will be chaotic. Saturday is the day of the real wedding which will take place somewhere near Chicago. The chapel is geourgous and very large. It will be a very beautiful wedding. I know the reception will be fun. Almost everyone who's going to the wedding is getting a hotel room in Chicago for a night! It should be very fun! Sunday I work all day. My shift starts at 12:00 and ends at 11:00. Yay for me. Let's hope this weekend doesn't last too long.

Story 15

The feeling of being alone, when you know people are there, I've experienced that feeling. Feeling as if you are no longer important to those who surround you. The worst part of my anxiety is when I begin to cry, but I try to hold back. Your chest begins to hurt, as if you were being stabbed, and I can no longer breathe; that is the worst.
        What stood out the most to me is when she claimed to be pushing her friends and family away. Before I opened myself for help, I did the same. I Pushed all the people I loved away, because I would never let them get that close to where I could hurt them in any way shape or form.
         Hearing this story really brings back some personal memories. Hearing the pain she was in almost bring me to a cringe. It helps me realize the importance of keeping my life on track, and helps me appreciate what I have today.

Spring break free write

This spring break wasn't anything to brag about. My week consisted of me sneezing a coughing into Vicks kleenexs. I worked five days this week, and slept the whole time when I wasn't working. I did watch a good movie called  "a thousand words" starring Eddie Murphy. It was very good. Its point was to value the words you have to say to others, or speak to others like you only have so many words left you can say.
     I had made my nephew a kite this past week, and he wanted to fly it right away, so we went outside and I helped him understand how it works, and he took off! He flew it for about 2 hours. He was mesmerized with kite. All in all it was a pretty crappy spring break, but it Deffinatly had its perks.

There are so many things I could sit here and rant about for hours. The economy, the people,  anything I feel is bothersome, would be a good topic. Today, my topic is going to have to be immaturity. A good example would be when I walked into my creative writing class this morning, everyone was screaming, and it was just an instant headache. I understand were in highschool, a week away from spring break, but this is just too much to handle.
             It's not only this class, it's almost everywhere I go, work, school, home, I mean there's just no getting away from it. I know I may not be the most mature, but I know when it's the wrong time to joke around, and when it's the right time. Some people just need to settle down, and realize what they're doing, and how it may effect the people around them,

Were highschoolers, we all get critisizm thrown at us daily, with sports, bullies and so on. Many people take all critisizm in a negative way, thinking that it's the worst thing to hear, when really critisizm can help change someone for the better. I personally love getting constructive criticism thrown at me, so that way I can maybe learn a few things from the mistakes I

May have made! This story can maybe help Someone realize critisizm isn't all that bad. A lot of good, can come out somthing bad you may have done. Learning you made a mistake and making an effort to go change the problem is one of the best ways to handle any critisizm.

This story relates to life, because you can't live everyday without a conflict. Changing the way you react to how others act, can be difficult, but once you find your calmer inner self, I think seeing the best in situations like those wouldn't be as difficult. Tolerance can be a morbid
Thing, just as well as a beautiful thing. It can be morbid, because you bring yourself to a point where you can say you're so used to a situation, it just dosent even matter anymore.
      Hearing this read to me was comforting. I mean, the point of the story really made me happy. I like hearing positive ways to change ones life, and this story really helps understand, don't just tolerate your surroundings, take them for what they all may be worth and be the best in your eyes.

Sadness

I'm very familiar with the feeling of sadness. I almost seem sad as often as I am happy anymore, which isn't a complaint. Being alone somtimes helps the feeling of sadness kick In. It helps me realize how I really feel about others. Having experience with the feeling of sadness can really help expand your advice to others, and even to yourself. Giving other advice On how you cope with your sadness, or things they could do to help themselves. Some people cope in negative ways such as, drugs, alcohol, even suicide. Giving others like you advice on what just maybe could help, could maybe even save a life.

This story really stood out to me. Why do we point out the little things we may not like, compared to the overall object? Nit picking, and judging the smallest parts can really just change your whole outlook, and perspective of the object. Its like a person, you can sit and pick out the little things you may not like, or you could pick out the positive things you may enjoy about that person. Which sounds more worth your time?
         This really made me think about "the big picture." The overall outlook, is the most important. You can't judge a book by it's cover, but you may have to read a little to find the things you like about it. It's worth finding the things they enjoy and things you could both share!

Will we one day become a joined society? Or will we continue as a disappointment?  Understanding why the people are the way they are today, is something I will never understand.  People treating each other like trash,  and acting like the individuals are unimportant. It's absolutely ridiculous to me. I honestly don't understand how one person can treat someone so terribly. I really hope one day this world can come together and we can treat one another as equals. I hope one day, anyone can follow their dreams, and do what they feel is right and be happy.

It's important for a many of reasons. Allowing your thoughts to settle, and to understand this concept, helps understand why it's so important for our minds to be apeased. The importance of being at a solid, calm state of mind, could really expand out ideas, thoughts and understanding of our life.
             I can use this information, maybe as a guide. Hearing this really makes me want to be more of a relaxed, open minded person. It really helps just hearing what being a calm, free minded person can do for someone. It's comforting.

Hearing the book read to me, really brought back a lot of memories. It was almost weird to hear it again, because it's been so long. The last time I herd that, or read it was probably when I was about 6 years old, so about 10 years ago. That's crazy to me. It's a short, cute, child's book, I belive many younger children may enjoy!

My life, isn't perfect. Just like any other person, my family has it's struggles. It's hard, growing up feeling alone, and denied of love. I relate to this story a lot actually. Trying to understand how lucky I am, is easy, but so difficult at the same time. I know my life, is a lot better than many, but in some situations it's hard to feel that way. As selfish as that may sound, it's very true. 

I will learn one day,  that everyday can be a better day. This story is very, very true. 

Main idea?
Connection, and relationships with others really can make a person better.

What I learned most?
That no matter how different we may be from each other, dosent mean we can't have a relationship.


What can I use most? Explain.
The understanding of differences between others. To see a dog and cheers together happily makes me feel better about others honestly/


What's my opinion?
This video made me happy. It's nice to see somthing like this. I just wish there were more of these relationships and realizations in humans.

Compassion isn't something you should feel you need to hide. Compassion is somthing we all must have, as a natural human being. Compassion, and feelings are things you should share with your friends, not hide, or push of to the side. Stand up for what you feel. Embrace your inner self, and don't be afraid to show your love.

Maybe not this assignment itself, but just the idea of listing helping not only our grades, but our personal lives, makes me want to listin even more. I know I get off topic, and daze a lot, but I do mostly listin. Even if it's somthing I don't want to hear, it's still good to have an open mind an listin I somthing maybe a little different than your own thoughts. Some things can be a little more interesting than the topic actually sounds.
              Listing really only has benefits, depending on how you look at it. I mean you make your own decisions, but really listing to what someone else  has to say, can really change a lot. It can no only maybe give you different ways to look at certai. Situations, but somtimes it can help understand them a little but better.

I can honestly say, I can relate. I sometimes have trouble controlling my anger with some people. It's never in a physical way, I just get frustrated quite easily. Also where they mentioned sisters getting into little disputes about putting the brush away, my sister Lindsi and I used to do that about every morning for school. We both just got so frustrated with each other, we fought over who should put it away. It was ridiculous. I've learned to calm down with situations like that, because I don't belive it's worth fighting over. 

         I know my anxiety has a lot to do with my anger. A lot of times I take a situation that may be a 2 or 3 and make it seem like a 6 or 7. It's never intentional, I just can't handle my anger well at times.

Ive learned, with certain situations, to maybe step away for a moment to give myself a little room to calm myself down, and focus on what's important at the time.

My weekend

This weekend couldn't have lasted any longer. Friday, I got out of school, went home, and went to work. I worked until 12:30, and when I got home all I had the energy to do was shower and crawl into bed. Saturday day morning consisted of rolling out of bed, and back into my work uniform. I worked from 9:00 a.m. To 5:00 p.m. After I got off, I took another shower, and then shoveled my driveway. After about 7:30 I curled up in my bed and watched a movie, and tried to warm back up.
        Sunday was the longest day of all. I woke up at about 9:30 just to, yet again, crawl into my work uniform. I walked up to Pizza Hut and worked a double shift. So from about 10:00 a.m, to 10:00 p.m. I busted butt with the lunch and dinner rushes. After a long day at work, I again, took a shower and crawled right back into my blankets. Falling asleep was no problem this weekend, I was just wore out. My weekend was long and miserable, but the money will be worth it in about a week or so.

Graduating high school is such a thrilling thought. To think that in a solid year, I'll be graduating, and saying goodbye to all my friends at school. It's scary to think it's all almost over, but yet so exciting to start a new. I grew up with these teachers, students, and hallways. I have one year, one year left with all of it, and then it's time to move on.
           After graduation I have undecided plans to join an organization similar to the peace core. To travel, and see things not many get to see, that is what I live for. I want to take my all, and go to a place I can comfortably call home. A place where I can become who I've always wanted to be, is all I've ever craved. Hopefully I'll be as ready to leave in year, as I am today.
