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.
