Things Worth Saving......

1. Pictures
2. Animals
3. People
4. Collectables
5. Some of my clothes so I am never without something to wear.
6.  Food
7. Money
8. Jewelry
9. Water
10.  Artwork

The thing that I would want to save more than anything are pictures. In my own opinion, pictures speak more than anything else. They capture all the emotions in that moment, and hold them for a lifetime. Anytime I want to get cheered up or think of good times, all I have to do is go to my photo album and look through and instantly I am filled with joy and I am flooded with all the memories. The great thing about pictures are that no matter whether they are of lost ones, they still make me very happy and also thankful for the times I got to share with them while they were still here. And very grateful that they were captured on camera so that whenever I feel like it I can look back to remembering those times that I can no longer have.

The second thing I would want to save that is hard, is people. I would love to be able to go save lives over in different countries because they do not have as much chance as we do. It is sad to see them struggle but yet I can not do anything about it. I am only seventeen so therefore I can not yet travel the world to do something about it. But since I can not do that and it is more of a hard thing to do, saving people here is definitely an option. That is why I have chosen to go into the medical field so that I can try to make a difference in as many lives as I can. That is something that I strive for in my life is others before me, I just need to get to that point in my life to where I can show that significantly.

My Fears

Well lets see I probably do not have thirty fears like the prompt told me to write but I can give it a try.

1. I have a horrible fear of snakes. 
2. I have a fear of heights
3. I have a fear of being a loner because no one wants that.
4. I have a fear of sharks.
5. I have a fear one day the world will end.
6. I have a horrible fear that we will be at war again here in the U.S.
7. I have a fear of clean cut grass because then my allergies will go crazy.
8. I have a fear of hurting someone without meaning to.
9. I have a fear of losing people.
10. I have a fear of losing my dogs.
11. I have a fear of whats all in the ocean.
12. I have a fear of what is in the dark. 

That about it, I can not really think of anymore fears. I am not really a fearful person I do not get scared that easily. But I can tell you one thing that scares me beyond anything in the whole world. I am terrified of snakes. It does not matter what type of snake it is if the name is a snake then I will be no where to be found. When I was a little kid I used to think that whenever I would see a snake that I would pass out and then it would eat me. I know I am crazy, I know they are not gonna eat me but I have fainted before. I do not know why they scare me so much but even like a picture, a book, or anything I just can not handle it. But snakes and sharks would have to be my two biggest fears. Snakes they are just nasty and sneaky. But sharks there is no help there if they wanna eat they are gonna eat and there is no stopping them that why I say within the two feet of water range when I go to the ocean.

Entertainment!!

If I did not see a soul for seven days I honestly do not know what I would do. I am always around my parents and my boyfriend. Hmmmmm, but if I had to really choose I would pick movies for days. I love movies so much I have like two hundred of them. Another thing I might do is read. I like to read but then after so many pages of reading I start to get really tired and then I just pass out. Speaking of passing out I also would probably sleep in a lot or take a lot of naps. Sometime I enjoy doing my free time is painting, so I would stock up on canvas's and just paint away. Which would be fantastic because I have so many painting that I want to do at the moment but I just do not have the time. Another thing I would probably do to entertain myself would be to play my PlayStation or my Wii, as bad as that sounds. I am not really a hardcore gamer but I do love to play. I would honestly find just about anything to entertain myself.

If I were to be alone during the summer, then I would spend a good portion of my time outside. You would find me either by the pool tanning and relaxing, or actually in the pool cooling off. Another activity I would do that I enjoy is riding my four wheeler. Behind my house I have a good portioned plot of land to where I can ride and drive around. But other than those the only other things would be either playing outside or taking a walk.

But that is all about all that I can think of. I would do whatever was in  front of me, just to keep myself entertained. I really enjoy just about anything so I doubt I would have a problem with trying to figure out something to do.

The Spoon in the Dishwasher....

It was so nice and peaceful in the sink sitting in the bottom. It was just an average day, nothing was different. But today was a first for many. I was minding myself when a giant hand came into my sight. I was terrified. I did not know what to do, so I braced myself for whatever might happen to me. But before I could prepare, I was wrapped up by huge fleshy things and picked up into the air. It seemed as though I whipped through the air and I was placed into a giant metallic box. I was still in shock from the hand, and now I was completely outside my world. Then from the opening in the box, a noise came about and then it slowly got darker and darker. The front was now completely closed. I was scared out of my mind.
It was quiet for a minute or two and I finally started to relax. There were no more noises and no more scary things moving about. It was just absolute silence. But right as I started to get comfortable in my new surroundings, this burning hot liquid came about the base of me. It was almost too unbearable. I tried to scream but nothing would come out. There was yet another noise, when suddenly there was an influx of water from every which way. From the top of the mysterious metallic box, water was spiraling everywhere uncontrollably. Then there was so much steam from the water. It filled every single inch of the box.
Just as soon as I thought I could not bare it anymore, a final noise came from the back of the box. To be completely honest I was terrified of what would happen next. But to my surprise the water started to retreat from the bottom, and the steam was not nearly as thick as it once was. The best part was that it did not stop either. It kept going down and the steam kept thinning, until both were completely gone. Then after there was no more noises, the front of the box opened for the last time. My terrifying experience was finally over. I was picked up and put into a drawer with several others just like me. I was happy to be away from that terrible experience. One thing I noticed though is that I felt cleaner than ever before, and I came to realize that it was not even that bad.

Knowing My Audience

This project on "Getting to Know Your Audience" was incredible. I have never felt more open in a class than in this one. This class has let me be ten times or social within school and its let me be free with my classmates. Having everyone answer questions about themselves serious or humorous was awesome. Getting to know you classmates helps you to be involved with you is in your class at a more personal level. Especially on an online class I mean you can not see your classmates only hear what them have to say. But what I have come to learn is more than looks you can learn a lot about someone about what they have to say.

One of my favorite humorous questions was Brenda's " If you were a super-hero, what kind of super power would you have? Why did you choose that particular power?" I found this questions quite great because I had never really thought about what kind of power I would want and why. It was very interesting find out everyone's different powers and why. I found Madison Martin's comment very funny " how she wanted the power to fly, so she would not have to drive behind people going ten under the speed limit or being ever pulled over by a cop." I found things like that funny because I would have never thought about that I mean I hate it when people drive way under the speed limit and even though I have never been pulled over I never want to!

Which brings me to the pet peeve question I have a lot of pet peeves. For example people NOT DRIVING!!!!! But anyways I found that questions pretty interesting, I would go back and read everyone's comments that were added each day just to see what people would put. I find it very interesting to figure out peoples pet peeves because then I learn to not to those things because I do not want to upset anyone.

I found this exercise quite exciting because I learned a lot about my classmates ever though I only truly know one of you. I have learned peoples pet peeves, where people are from which most of us are from around Springfield, also what super powers you would like to have, and just about your personal life and what things make you happy or your life lessons. It was nice getting onto a personal level with everyone I feel a lot more comfortable with this class now that this exercise has been completed.

My Goals!

I believe that I will accomplish my goals. I have always set goals for myself, I mean I do not write them down or anything but I keep them in my mind and I remind myself of them everyday. When reminding myself about my goals I put them in order from short term to long term goals. For example one of my short term goals is to get in "A" in my Comp and Lit class that I am halfway through. A long term goal I have is to eventually graduate from college and move on with my career in the field that I strongly hope to pursue. While I have my goals running through my mind I am always thinking of ways to accomplish them no matter what it takes. I will do my best to figure a way to make sure that goal is no longer a "goal" it is "a memory of achievement". When someone has asked me about my goals they have wondered how do you keep track of them, well I just do. Because I want them so badly that they stick in my mind and never leave until they are achieved.

Ten Things I Do on Rainy Days...

1. I like to pick up a book and sit by my window and watch the rain pour down while I come to a stopping point in my book.
2. My most favorite thing to do is grab a blanket and cuddle up in my bed and watch movies all day. 
3. Some times I enjoy just sitting under the porch and I like to watch and hear the rain as its falling.
4. Playing in the rain is also a great way to pass the day, jumping in puddles or if I am by myself I might sing in the rain.
5. Gather the family of three with my two dogs and pick up a board game.
6. Bake, I love to bake. On rainy days its fun because you can sit around and eat while you try new things.
7. I love to paint, especially on a rainy day, its kind of a hobby with for me.
8. Also along with painting sometimes I go a little bit more on my kid side and I break out my crayons and I color in kid coloring books.
9. Also on rainy days for some reason I become OCD or something because I like to organize things or change them up a bit.
10. Last but not least I love to sit around with my family and snack all day while we watch television, movies, or maybe play some games. But sometimes its nice just to be altogether and take a good ole nap.

All of those activities are things I like to do to enjoy my rainy days. Sometimes I like to enjoy them inside and sometimes I like to enjoy them outside either way I try and make the most out of it. I mean I can drive so I could go into town but who really wants to drive on a nasty rainy day, not me! But since I do not like to drive on rainy days I have to find someway to make sure my days are not wasted. But not since I am in this English class then that is another way I pass a rainy day like today. Freewriting on my blog, doing my assignments , and reading "The Heart and the Fist" by Eric Greitens. I really do enjoy this class it allows me to think of things I do and explain them freely. Like explaining what I on a rainy day. I never actually realize the specific things that I do but I guess you do not realize it unless you talk freely about it. Which is why I find blogging kind of awesome, I went onto Ms. A's website and I picked a random number then wrote about it. My creative state of mind was not working today, but it was very interesting that it is really that fun and easy to write about random things.

Comp & Lit versus Summer!

Going into this class, I was not too sure of what to expect. I have heard a lot of negative things regarding online classes, especially for summer classes. They have always talked about how you are swamped with work and barely have a summer. But as this class has progressed, I have come to realize none of those comments are true. Even though this is a class, and it's over the summer, I still have more than enough time to enjoy summer.
For starters, I was actually very worried about coming into this class. I have never taken an online class before, and especially a college course. I was not very worried on the difficulty of the work for the class, but more on how the work would be presented. In my personal education, I struggle with Reading and English. I've learned greatly that discussing and writing about what you read helps me to become better in these subjects.  For example, "The Heart and the Fist" by Eric Greitens, has helped me to comprehend what I read, and put it into a discussion forum. It has also helped me to be able to share what I feel and what I learned with my classmates.
But as this summer has progressed, I have come to learn that this class is not as bad as I thought. I have learned to actually love the class, because it has shown me how to become a better writer. It allows me to be able to share my thoughts, and the things that are around me. It has filled my summer with exciting new things about my classmates, and how they are involved in the class. In my own personal opinion, I can not wait to see what the class holds in store for me as the summer continues, and for how it will help me grow to become a better and more professional writer. I hope everyone is having a great summer, and enjoying the class as much as I am.

One thing that I would like to achieve is my school life. Passing high school will be easy I am almost there and my grades and effort has not let me down. Getting into college is one thing that will be a bump in the road a huge milestone. No matter how hard I try I always have trouble with test. Like the ACT I want to go to Drury but that is the only thing holding me back. I am a good student but test are a hard thing for me. I am fine with the logic side of things but when you put Reading and English in front of me and I have to take a test it is defiantly a struggle. So I hope I can over come that small bump in the road to better myself. But I do believe that if I keep pushing myself I will get the score that I need. I do not know much else to say about this besides that I am excited to keep testing myself to do better. But, also then when I get into college I hope then to pass. I know classes will be tough but I will try my hardest to keep my grades up so therefore I can keep in the programs that I want to go into. I am super excited to start my college life. Even though it might get hard sometimes I will try and make the best out of it. Also to keep moving forward in my life. I can not wait to hopefully in five or six start the career of my dreams and o have a happy life and happy family. Along with being happy within my career. Helping other is a huge thing for me and that is what I hope to do within my career is to benefit others. Which will then benefit me because I am satisfied with others happiness. That is about all I have on this topic I still have about a minute left , so I do not really know how to end thing but I am trying while the time is running out. Slowly thirty seconds left as the clock is ticking down. I am now done with talking about my I believes.

Jung Typology Test

I believe that Jung Typology Test was pretty accurate with my personality. Introversion over Extroversion was thirty-three percent. Which I think fits me good, when you put me in a room of people that I do not really know that well then I become more shy than I am outgoing. But I do not believe I am unsocial just only in some situations. My Intuitive over Feeling was a thirty-eight percent which I thought fit me perfectly. Because I defiantly o with my gut versus my feelings or others feelings. Thinking over Sensing was a twelve percent. Which is pretty right because I normally think about what I think is logically right versus how I feel about something. Then Judging over Perceiving was an eleven percent which is right because I like things to be planned out for me to have a schedule. For example with my English class I like how my professor puts all of the assignments and there dues dates at the same time. That way I can plan my week with school, sports, and work. But with this test it truly has showed me the way my personality is. Because with this test I look over my score and realize that with school and work I do act in these ways. So anytime I am in a situation or figuring something I will defiantly think back to this test.
