My Freshman Year

     This year has been a year of changes. With a new school, new friends, new challenges comes a lot of adjustments, but god blessed me with wonderful friends, and teachers, to help me along my way. To me that's one of the best memories that i had people i could go to. I never have felt so safe and well rounded at a school. If it comes down to exact moments, I would have to say community service and the zoo. Those moments mean so much to me, because of my friends that I will never forget. Tori, Olivia, and Mckena where defiantly the best friends I could have made this year. If I could some up advice for the upcoming freshman it would have to be take your time, enjoy the challenge, and make good friends who wont steer you wrong. If you do these three things like i did i promise this year will be a breeze.         

Learning Through the Autobiography of Ms.Jane Pittman

       As I grew up my parents have always taught me about self respect,but I never have thought about how long people were trying to prove themselves. Throughout the novel, the author show us how the slaves were not going to be walked over. Jane's mother died that way. She was tired of being treated like trash, and was beaten to death.
       You want to be proud of who you are. Even slaves are still deserving of respect. We need to stop seeing ourself's as individuals, but as one working together for the common good of the people. Jane knew that jimmy wanted what was right, and because of that she went to the court house even after he was dead. They should have never been so ignorant to sell their own people as live stock. We are all equals. We shouldn't allow other, or ourself's, to think less of ourself's.

Who Have you Judged?

     In  class we have been reading the Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. It is a sad, fictional, story of an old lady who is telling her story of growing up as a slave, and her journey towards Ohio. Throughout her journey she meets a lot of people whites, blacks, and anti blacks. there are so many stereotypes built around the fact that since they are slaves, they are dumb, or unable to function. Yet, throughout the book many times they prove that they don't just function they succeed. Big Laura, a big farm hand, takes control and leads the slaves part way through the biouh. Jane herself keeps pushing herself to get what she wants. Even though everyone's telling her she cant. The stereotypes are not just on the slaves, but the southern whites. They treat them as cruel individuals, but through her journey there were whites who cared and tried to help.  Just because someone looks different, or not in your social group, it doesn't mean they are incapable, or less of a person.

The Book of a Life Time!

  The Lucky one by Nicholas sparks is just another one of his mind blowing books. I have read many of the Nicholas sparks books, and by far this is my favorite. It is a story of solider back from war on his journey across the country to find this lady in  the photograph. His friend has convinced him it was a lucky charm, and that he would have to go find her, and thank her. He knew nothing of where she was, who she was, or if she was even real, but he set out with one clue from the photograph. An old fair banner.  This book is more of a chick flick, so guys stray away! There's mystery, romance, danger, an old controlling ex husband, and death knocks at the door more than once.  




    when reading this book you will feel as the characters do. He wrote this book in a way that you cant stop reading. If you also have a love for dogs there's a little treat in there for you. If you like justice than you will enjoy the adventure of ex-marine  Logan Thibault.

Which Animal Do You Want To Be!

     The situation in Animal Farm happens in everyone's life at some point in time, but the question is not when, but who are am I. Through the book the challenges the animals face have a lot to do with every day life, like friends getting mad at another group of friends, or when your company at work takes over another company. When faced in this position it is usually time to decide to follow or conform. so basically do you want to be like molly the cart horse who was not going to put up the pigs, the sheep who dumbly follow and accept the rule, or the animals who see the problem and tend to ask                                                                   questions to fix the problem.

                                                                     Molly the Cart horse
  When face in these positions I would not want to be know as the brain dead girl who just sat there, or ran off. I would probably follow the rules to a point. What I mean to a point is when the company that gets rid of the selfish and  life destroying company and then becomes that  life destroying company.Would you really want to be a part of that?

Thanks For Thanksgiving!

               With Thanksgiving approaching it makes us think about what we are all thankful for. I am thankful for many things, but I am most thankful for the men and woman in the military who are away from their loved ones and my family heritage. Thanksgiving also lets us see how lucky we are to be able to come together with  family and friends. It also makes us look back to our family heritage. It makes me feel proud of my country to see how much we have grown, and to see how many freedoms we have. I hope that there are many thanksgivings to come, and that I am able to share with someone the love of being thankful.

Finding My Back Up Plan!

   Today at school was career day. I was able to go through and learn about what job opportunity were open to me. I went to ER medicine, Military, Business, and Theater arts. I enjoyed every class, and learned a lot about each subject, but I still feel like military is the best choice for me. Even though I already had a good idea of what  I want to do with my life today confirmed my belief, but best of all, because of career day I have found my back up plan. After vistiting everyone I believe my back up plane would be ER Medicine. It seems like a busy, but always interesting, type of life style.
