   I wish I was a red fox. Will I am a red fox. I just don’t look like a red fox. Wait let me change my wish. I wish I look like a red fox. I’m different. I don’t like being different from everyone else. It makes me feel like I don’t fit in with the rest of them. I wonder if I’m the only creature on this earth that feels this way. I wonder if my parents abandoned me because of the way I look. I love those mountains their just incomparable beauty. They all don’t look exactly alike. Nothing does. Then why do I feel so bad for the way I look. I didn’t always feel this way. They made me feel this way. They just had make fun of me. Will I hope they feel guiltily for the rest of their lives. I’m not going be sticking around just so they can make fun of me. There is a huge world beyond this little valley. There are more foxes out there that can accept the way I look. If they don’t I’ll just move on. I don’t need them around to help me. They actually never help me in the first place. I always had been on my own. I can hunt and make a shelter for myself. No more of them stealing my food or making fun of my patches of black fur. That it I’ve decide. I’m leaving to night. I will take a little food with me and that’s about all I can take there is nothing else I need. Darkness is coming extremely soon. I better start to get ready.

          The moon is now in visible sight. This will be last time I walk on this land. I wonder if they will even miss me. Will I guess I never know. Will here I go.

1. Choose an image and write a reaction to it 11/29-12/3

    The reason why I choose this picture is because it is just so adorable how the momma fox is touching the baby fox with her nose. That is just so unbelievable cute. I mean you always see movies, drawing or painting with animals touching each other with their nose. I never knew they actual did that in real life.  I chose this image because I just love foxes. I don’t know why I just do. I think the main reason why I choose this because people say the animals have no sense of love or any other real emotion in animals. This picture shows how are connection with a mother and its baby is still extremely strong as ever even if their foxes. It doesn’t matter if there animal or human. We all have these emotions in our lives. I think I’m attracted to this picture mot only because it is extremely cute. It’s because of the bright orange on the foxes. I like how it just pop out from their fur. I also like the little stream in the background. I wish the background wasn’t so blurrily. I’m not sure if this was on purpose or not. If the photographer wanted us to pay more attention on the foxes or if they wanted the foxes colors of the fur stand out even more because the background is so dim and blur out. Whatever why the reason the photographer did what he did on purpose or by mistake. The picture is just so adorable I just want take the baby fox and give it a nice big hug. Or course foxes can be very violent sometimes, especially when they have a baby with them. That’s what I think of the picture it just so cute how can you not love it. P.S you get over yourself!!

11/22-11/26 Fear builds walls

“Fears build walls” in my opinion it means that your fears hold you back from doing something you really want to do. If you want to jump out of a plain with a parachute but you’re afraid that the parachute won’t open then you will never try it. Sometimes you have to let go of your fears just to you get what you want in the end. It is okay to have fears but you shouldn’t let them control your life. If I was say I’m afraid of spiders I probably won’t go to warm places because they can get really big. Like monster big. But if I did have that fear I won’t let it control my life. Will I try my best not to let it control my life. So fear does built walls but you have to tear them down just to get to the other side. Sure it might be worth it in the end or not. But don’t you want to accomplish at least breaking down on of your walls of fear. You don’t have to do it over night. It might take a very, very, very, long time before you get over your fear. When you do accomplish breaking free from your fear, you can help others around you also break free from their fears too. Remember it is ok to be afraid but do not let fear run your life and the decisions you make. If you want to jump off a brigade don’t let the fear of the rope breaking stop you.

11/15-11/19 winning

              Winning most people think getting the better score is winning. Certain people like believe their winners when they really not. Winning in my opinion is just mostly state of mind. Sure the other team may have the better score then you do but are you happy, do you feel good. It just matters where your state of mind is. If you’re acting like a big cry baby and get all mad about the score then you are acting like a loser. But if you were smiling and just talking about how fun game was and then you re acting like a winner. Your attitude is affected by how others act. If one of you teammates were acting like a big cry baby then you might just start acting like one to. I think people like to thinking winning is the best thing in the world is because they want to feel like they did something that everyone will remember them for and that’s what they truly want, is to be remembering by others. I think some people get to obsess with winning and they let it cloud their judgment and they forget what they are doing and they end up hurting someone just to get what they want in the end. Winning can be a very good thing but sometimes people turn it into a bad thing. As long as you’re happy at the end of the day no matter what the score is you are a winner in my opinion. Will that is all I have about winning. I know many peoples have different views from what I think and i'm okay with that. As long as people do not try push their views on me and then I will be okay with it. I know some people love to win but remember what you are gaining in the end.

Thankful 11/15-11/19

   There are many things that people are thankful for. Like their health, family and more. I have a lot to be thankful for. One thing that I’m very thankful for is that my parents are still together. Before I move to Alden many of many friends parents where divorce and they talked about how they can only see their mom or dad on certain days. I should be thankful for that I get to some good amount of time with each of them. Another thing I’m thankful for is that my dad is still here with me and my family. My dad has to travel to different parts of the world and one time a day before he was coming home a plane crash and my mom and I were worried that something like that will happen to my dad on his way home. But luckily he came home safe and sound. People have lost their love ones in plane crashes and never got a chance to see them again. I’m very lucky that my parents give me things that I want and need. Some kid’s families might not even have a quarter of what I had. Our parents let us know that every day. I’m thankful for my health. That just seems like just a regular thing to be thankful for but I should be happy I have good health. We have lots bad things that runs through are family and I can be laying in hospital right now I had one of these conditions. I thankful for my friends here in Alden. When I first move here I didn’t know anyone and I was kind of shy. But then I made good friends in the first couple days here in Alden. The last thing I’m thankful for is my sisters. No matter how annoying they may get they always have my back when I really need them. There are all the things I’m thankful for.I consider myself one of the lucky kids. All I have to do is watch the news and remember how all over the world people are dying from hunger and diseases that can be easily prevent with today’s medicine. SO yet again I say how I’m very thankful for all I have.

What is your favorite holiday? Why? 11/15-11/19

My favorite holiday is Halloween. I love dressing up. You can be something completely adorable one minute and they next minute you can be the scariest monster on the plant. I also love the candy. I loved getting different types of candy and how my sisters and I will trade with each other.  Another fun thing about Halloween is you can completely scare the crap out of someone. For one October I scared my second oldest sister Sarah repeat it was so much fun. Then one time I was sitting in front of the TV and I saw her coming up behind me by using the TV screen and she was getting ready to scare me and I smile and wave at the TV screen saying hi. She looked really mad it was so much fun. Another thing I love about Halloween is that you get to crave pumpkin and make any kinds of facing in them funny, happy, sad or you can just do random designs on it my friend put a peace sign on her pumpkin it was really cute except she kind of mess it up a little but it wasn’t that noticeable. Another thing I like about Halloween is seeing everyone’s costumes. Just to see if they store bought it or had enough creatively in their heads to make up their own cool designs or did they combine both together. There are many reasons why I like Halloween but if you asked someone what their favorite holiday is their answer is mostly likely Christmas will not this girl answer. There is a lot of holidays that are fun but can only be fun if your apart of it. Like Valentine’s Day is a fun holiday if you only have a girlfriend or boyfriend. If you don’t that holiday isn’t that much fun to you. So there is some fun holidays out their but I believe Halloween beats them all.

11/8-11/12 If I could have lunch with three people living or deceased they would be

  If I could have lunch with three people, it probably be my best friend Katelyn. My grandfather that is my dad’s father and Joe.  The reason why I pick my best friend is that I don’t see her for long periods of time. She lives down in Georgia now and haven’t seen her in months. The reason why I want to meet my grandfather is because I never meet him before. He died from a heart attack when my mom was pregnant with me.  My sisters use to tell me my grandmother would tell me he was at the store when I was little. When I got older I finally learn the truth. Joe was our next door neighbor. He was very kind man to be and my sisters. So was his wife. We use to over to their house and talk to them all time. Then one day during winter time. He had a heart attack and he was sent to hospital. Unfortunately he didn’t make it through. I was very sad he was a grandparent to me and I just lost him. After that his wife Dawn move away to live with her son I think. I pick these three people because they all our important to be. I feel robed from them. I want a chance to spend time with them. I never had enough time with any of them in my opinion. Katelyn was with me for two years before she move to Korea, I had no time with my grandfather and I’m not sure how much time I had with Joe but I don’t think it was enough. 

11/8-11/12 Thanksgiving

    Are family celebrates Thanksgiving like any other family does. It starts with out dad getting up early to start all the cooking. Yes are dad makes the meal not my mom. One year dad was out of town and my mom bought turkeys subs for us that Thanksgiving. Will my dad does the most of the cooking and my mom helps out here and there. My sisters and I usually don’t really help with anything. Then when the food is all prepare. We sit down around 5 o’clock and say grace. Are dogs usually sat around us begging for food and hoping some of our food will fall down so they can eat it. We always give them a little but a lot, because one of dogs gets sick when he eats fatty foods, so we give both of our dogs little amounts. It wouldn’t be fair if we gave one dog way more food than the other one. Will when we are down I sit around and wait for my mom to cut the pumpkin pie. She usually takes along time because she is very tire after the dinner, when I and my sister finish our deserts. We then go and break the wish bone from the turkey I usually lose no matter what. Which sucks a lot. I think I won couple times but my sisters claim that I cheated. This year my mom wants to start a new tradition where she bakes pumpkin muffins to eat in morning. They are really good. So are thanksgiving is that different from many people but we do enjoy it a lot.

11/8-11/12 motivational quotes

“In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. “by Robert Frost. Robert Frost has always been one my favorite poets. The reason why I like this one is that. In the end good or bad life does go on. So don’t stop after one little failure just keep going.

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.” by Henry David Thoreau.  The reason why I like this is one is that many people given up on their dreams. This inspires people to continue with their dreams. No matter what people said. If you truly believe in your dream don’t just chase after it capture it. 

“We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities.” By Ralph Waldo Emerson. Like many before us people had many dreams and ideas. Some were too afraid to go after them. But others were ready to risk everything to reach their dreams. If these people never went after their dreams. The U.S.A would have never been discovered by Europeans. We might not have the technology that we do today that helps saves peoples lives. There is my reason why I like this quote. It talks about the past accomplishment and the near future accomplishments.

All these writers have a great positive outlook on life at one point and wish for others to have positive outlook on life too.

11/1-11/5 What is respect?

     Respect. Many people have many definitions for it. I guess respect to me is. Treating people who you truly despise nicely is a sign of respect. Then I guess I have a lot of respect to others I guess. Then a again respect can go so far before I’m completely piss off and end up ripping someones head off. Respect shouldn’t be abused if you tried to use it against me you will be in hospital faster than you can say BAM. So respect comes in many different shapes and forms in my opinion. One form is when you’re talking to a teacher you should give them your respect; even if you hate them and their pure evil. Also trying to give your classmates respect is a good idea. You can have them as a partner on a project and you treated them like crap for the past few years. Your partnership might not work. Then you will fail misery on the project because the two of you couldn’t get along for even a minute. So respect can be a big help to you if you give it to other people. Respect can help you a lot in the long run. So maybe if you truly despise someone just try to be polite and respectful. You don’t have to be friends with them at all. Just be on good turns. And it might come back and help you. However you treat them badly it can come back and haunt you and your grade.

dream job 11/1-11/5

   I have a couple of dream jobs. One of my dream jobs is to be an author and write books. The reason why I like the idea of being an author is that you have complete freedom to write what you want to write about there is no real limits. I can make up my own little world where I make the rules.  My other dream job is to be a jewelry designer.  I love playing around with jewelry and they seem to break in next day. So not only will I make stronger non-cheap jewelry that is not extremely bulky and too much. I will also make it affordable. It is nuts what some high fashions designers want for a little necklaces. I guess after I get rich from my jewelry I can work on writing. I will of course continue working. I just can’t stay home and do nothing. I don’t know how some people can just be a stay at home mom. I mean when do you every get to leave the house. Or take to other people face to face. That is why I will continue with both my writing and working with jewelry. My jobs will also let me travel all around the world. So I can get inspired by the way other people live. So my writing and my jewelry can relate to other cultures. Then I will return home to my family where my hardest job awaits me. That is raising a family.
