IRAQ

I personally don't like the fact that we still have a ton of troops in iraq. I dont like the fact that my brother and very close friends have gone over there, i dont like thinking of my friends in a dangerous situation. I fully support them as individuals because its their choice, so i support them, but i dont support the war. In my opinion it has gone on way too long. I hope that the new president can figure out a way to get our troops out of there, because i know too many people who are risking their lives and i'd rather not worry about them for a cause that i dont feel is worth it. that's really all i have to say, i dont like the war going on and i think it should end so that everyone we know can come home!

English Papers

I hate english papers, but lets be honest-who really enjoys them?? im pretty sure NO ONE does! haha!! I wish you didn't have to have a length requirement. I think that if you can get your point across in only 1 1/2 pages that should be fine. Making a paper have a minimun length of 3 pages just sets you up to have people ramble and repeat themselves. i understand that an essay should atleast be 1 page, because otherwise its pointless to read. but still, 3 pages is sometimes just too much.

Self Asignment

I was born in Bloomington, Indiana on June 22, 1990. I have two blood brothers and two step brothers. My mom got divorced when I was three and remarried when I was eight. For five years my mom was a single mother trying to raise three children. She’s is such a strong person that I think that is where I get a lot of my personality. When my mom got remarried I got two new step brothers. Growing up with four brothers was definitely an experience and I wouldn’t want it any other way. Having brothers that always pick on you really makes u a much stronger person, not only physically but mentally as well. I don’t really like drama, but I do speak my mind. I’m not the type of person that just sits back when something is not right, or when someone talks bad about someone I’m close with. I will be the first person to step in and let the other person know that I’m not going to let them get away with talking trash. If I don’t like someone they can usually tell because I am either rude to them or I just ignore them. I’m usually a nice person and easy to get along with, but if u rub me the wrong way, then just back off. I don’t like to talk in front of a class of people. I get real nervous if I have to give a speech or something, even just sharing about myself in front of the class makes me nervous. I’m real shy when I first meet people; I’m not good at being outgoing and just meeting people. But once I get to know the people I will come out of my shell and be my loud self. With my friends I am always laughing and always cracking jokes about everything. I’m kind of a messy person, like my room always has clothes or shoes on the floor, but it never gets real extremely bad. My favorite color is purple, I’m kind of obsessed!!!! In my family I am the youngest and only girl so my role is kind of a motherly role. I help my mom out with lots of stuff and when she isn’t around I make sure my brothers are doing what they are supposed to be doing, and not doing bad stuff. There isn’t really a whole lot else to know about me, I love my family and they are a huge part of my life!

9/11

Today is September 11, 2008, exactly 7 years after the attack on the twin towers. It crazy to think of how long this war has been going on. I think back to the day it happened, i was in sixth grade taking the istep test. I didnt even understand what was going on; when my teacher told us what had just happend i didnt really grasp the fact that there was a group of people that wanted to attack and kill americans. It didnt really seem like a big deal, even as i watched the news in all my classes-i still didnt really understand how much the attack was going to affect my life.
Soon after 9/11 my brother decided to join the army, and after all his training he had to go over to afghanistan for almost a year. It was a hard time for our family because the war was new and no one really knew what was going on overseas and that scared us. Then just a few years ago i became really close with one of my friends who was in the marines and also going to have to go overseas. This really hit me hard because i was in highschool so i was old enough to understand the war and understand all the dangers of going overseas to fight. I hope this war ends soon so that no one else has to have friends or family members go overseas with the chance of losing their life. God Bless Our Troops.

Freshman Year

Hi everyone :) It's my freshman year in college, and its going great! I was scared at first to come, i mean come on who wasnt? I feel so free being able to stay out late and do whatever i want whenever i want. i love it. I don't know why some people dont want to go to college, its the time in your life when you grow, you learn so much about yourself when your here. Its the time to plan the rest of your life, which quite frankly scares me because i have NO idea what i want to be when i grow up.
You know how in elementary school teachers always had you close your eyes and try to picture yourself in 10 years..well i could never do that. Sometimes i picture myself with a husband and kids and a secessful career, and other times i picture myself single and bouncing from lame job to job. Its scary cause i know that i dont want to end up like the second picture, but if i dont pick something to study in college then thats how im gonna be...its slightly stressful! im kind of waiting to have an epiphany and just KNOW what im gonna do, but so far it hasnt happened. So for now im just going to keep going to class until i find something, keep your fingers crossed!!
