Week 2: Last words

It’s kind of sad to think that my sophomore year is coming to an end, but at the same time I’m so relieved that it’s almost over. I honestly don’t think I could sum up this year in just a few words, because so many things have happened. I’ve been through some trials and tribulations; I’ve found ways to deal with them. Also I’ve found out how much stuff I can really handle, when it comes to homework, work, and stress. Everything seemed to work out in the best ways, and I’ve found my own ways to deal with problems, and handle things when they get rough. I think everyone has been through things this year, no matter if it was having a hard time with school work, test, or even just personal problems. Everyone eventually finds ways to deals with their problems, and no matter what anyone says, we all go through a tough time every now and then, it’s just a part of life. This year I’ve come to learn who my true friends are, who I can really trust with my secrets, and who will be loyal to me no matter what the case is. While learning who is really there for me in the end is actually pretty hurtful, but I know God created things to happen in my life the way they did for a reason. It made me stronger and I feel like I’ve learned some lessons, so I’ll never make those same mistakes again. Even though this year hasn’t been the best, I’ll miss all my teachers, and some of my “friends”, but now it’s time to move on to my junior year! 

Week 1: One-word essay

The word I choose for my “essay” is forever. The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of the word forever is family. Family is forever, your family members will always be there for you, unlike some people in your life. You can’t choose your family, you just have to learn to love all their flaws and except them for who they are, as they would do for you. Family should always be over everything, because they will truly be the only ones there for you in the end. The saying “blood is thicker than water” applies here. The people in your family will be here when all else fails, and when everyone runs out of your life when you have a little problem that you need help with. You can always turn to family, because no matter what you’re going through you can’t put differences aside and deal with whatever has caused you problems. Also your family would be the ones to do anything for you, even if it was something crazy, if they knew it meant a lot to you they’d help you out, that’s just what families do, that’s what they’re here for. Thinking about all of this just makes me realize how thankful I am for having such a loving, caring, and excepting family. I appreciate everything that has been done for me through them, and I would hope they feel the same about me. No one can compare to my family and I would never think to replace them, no matter how crazy they get!

Week 5: Inside Your Head

In my drawing I wrote the things down that are constantly in my head, and the things that mean the most to me in life. God is one of them, he’s my savior and I wouldn’t be where I am without him and I wouldn’t have the things I do, I’m very thankful for him. My family is very important to me, they do so many things for them, and I could probably never repay them for everything they’ve done. I’m not just talking about all the things they’ve bought me, but all the things they’ve helped me through, and all the things they’ve sacrificed for me, they’ll never know how much that means to me. I wrote down friends in my drawing because my friends are the people I go to about things that I can’t discuss with my family, and I have the ones I trust and the ones I don’t, sadly I’ve had to learn the hard way when it comes to trusting, but I know everything does happen for a reason. Dance is also in my drawing, it is important to me because I can always count on dance to help me relieve stress, or any bad thoughts I have in my mind, it’s just a good way to clear my mind. It helps having friends that think of dance the same way I do, that way we can work on new dances or just mess around with dance moves just to have some fun and not think of anything stressful. 

Week 3: Teen Problems

The main problems teenager’s face would be bullying and violence. There are different forms of bullying, and different forms out being violent towards someone. When it comes to bullying you can bully someone over the internet which is called cyber bullying, and you can also bully someone in person, by making fun of their appearances, and the things they do, or they way they do things. When it comes to being violent, you can be violent to someone mentally, physically, and emotionally.  In my opinion I think a big problem female teenager’s face is teen pregnancy. This could also lead to being bullied, because people will start to look at you different. Teenagers can be very judgmental about things, especially teen pregnancy.  The main problems adolescences face is emotional tension and economic independence. I would have to agree with economic independence, because once adults get into the real world and have to start paying for everything by their selves. A lot of adults go into debt because they try to live beyond their means. Also they will try and be something they’re not.  When it comes to the emotional tension, lots of adults can go into depression. Some people would say just because someone isn’t married and doesn’t have kids that could make them depressed, but that’s not necessarily true, because plenty of adults that are “happily” married and have kids get depressed just as easily from personal issues, or they could get depressed from not being happy in their marriage.

Week 5: Carpe Diem

Everyone has different things that make them come alive, and some people have certain things in common that make them come alive. Dance is thing that makes me come alive. If I didn’t have dance things just wouldn’t be the same. Dance allows me to take how my stress and emotions out in the studio. I like the fact that a lot of my friends think of dance the same way as I think of it. I think it helps when you have friends with stuff in common with you, especially if you the same passion for something. There are a lot of kids that might not have a strong passion for something that brings joy to their life. I just think that’d be horrible not to have something like that. It just makes me think if I didn’t have dance, or if dance was taken away from me, I’d be extremely sad, and angry. Dance is the one thing that is always there for me, and it never lets me down. I know I can dance whenever I’m down or feeling bad, and it always makes me feel better. I know other people feel the same way about their hobbies, because it’s just something that makes us happy and something always gives us joy when we’re doing it. I’ve tried doing other hobbies and sports but nothing as ever compared to dance, that just showed me that nothing could replace dancing for me. I’ll choose to stay with dance throughout high school and maybe some in college. I don’t want to give up the great feeling it gives me.  

Week 4: Fraction Friends?

I think Rohn has a good point and I agree with him, because the five people you spend the most time with you start acting like them and you get used to the way that they act, and even if they do weird things you get used to it even if other people don’t like it. The five people I spend the most time with would be Jennifer, Brooke, Paige, probably my mom, and my boyfriend Bryan. I’ve come to accept that they’re all different in their own way, sometimes they can get annoying, they may get annoyed a the littlest things, they may be a clean freak, or a complete slob, but none of that bothers me because I accept them for who they are and I’d never want to change them! Some may say that if those things would usually bother me, but now they don’t that I’ve change, but I honestly don’t call that changing I call that accepting the people I love for who they are. Sometimes the way you act can be affected by the people you surround yourself with, and the people that I surround myself with I believe they’ve made me a better person than who I was before I had them in my life. Everyone needs a motivation to become a better person and there’s no other way to be motivated than by the people you love most, and the people that are always there for you through anything. I wouldn’t change anything about them, and I wouldn’t want to spend my time with anyone else. 

Week 2: Fear

I don’t think our fears are rational; sharks only kill five people annually. The things you would least expect to kill people are the things that kill the most people. People would just expect sharks to kill more people because they’re big, scary, they look mean, and they have a lot of teeth. The other things such as falling out of bed would be something no one would think about dying from. High school football would be another thing nobody would expect to die from, because most teenage boys just think of it as a hobby and they’re not scared of it, because it’s suppose to be a fun sport for them to play. In my opinion I think spiders deserve our fear. I’m terrified of spiders, because they come in all different size, small, medium, and large. You never know when you’ll see one. Spiders could be in your bed at night when you’re sleeping and bite you. Spiders could be poisonous and possibly kill you. Snakes are another thing that people should fear, because snakes are dangerously poisonous, and snakes move and strike very fast, faster than a human would be able to move. I think that just shows that no matter what the size of something is anything can be dangerous or kill you. Also no matter what the thing is it could kill you, I guess this shows you should beware because anything is possible and anything can happen at any time. Even the most bizarre things.
