First Semester. OVER

My first semester as a college student is coming to an end and it went by so fast, and it feels like it just begun. I feel that I did okay do to the fact that I had a some what of a hard time transition into college life and great professors that worked with me, and knew that I could succeed to my highest potential in class which made me push myself harder in coming a better student

            What I have learned about myself this first semester of college, that it is nothing like high school that was the first thing. Learning that living with other people is very difficult since I am an only child not getting my way for some things was difficult if you must say. I have also learned that staying on top of your schoolwork in most important my education is very important to me. Having an education will better myself in the future for a well paying job to fulfill my dreams. Another thing being ahead of your work is important waiting to the last minute to do something which I would not recommend, because if so you will fall behind on work be overwhelmed with things get frustrated and just not care about. Getting involved on campus is something you should consider doing, maybe a club getting a job to interact with you community getting to know other people. That is something that I learned my first semester in college away from home.

         My biggest challenges my first semester in college I would have to be getting use to the workload, professors, and my grades. The workload was very overwhelming for me, and I didn’t end up doing to well in some of my classes, which made me very sad because I have never done this badly before in school. It just hit me like a ton of bricks; I did not know what to do. So I met with my professors asking them what I could do in there class to bring up my grade some teachers told me what I had to do others just told me to do better in the class which I already knew I had to do that. Being that I hit rock bottom my freshman year means that this is just the beginning and it is going to get much harder as time goes by. So what I started to do getting extra help either me going to the writing center, math extra help, or meeting with the professor during office hours. I was going to do what ever it took for me to pass my classes. So I am praying I did good on my finals to show that my hard work paid off, and that I can achieve anything with determination.

         My biggest achievement in college this semester, was getting involved on campus, going to events that are held on campus getting to know all these wonderful people in my classes and in my community. The one thing I am most proud of is the club I am in called ASA, which stands for African Student Association. This is what I call my Southern family brothers and sisters I always wanted. For are club we raise money, and have different fundraisers for children in Africa, and any other countries. But we have a big event coming up April 28^th, 2012 it is this big fashion show we host every year we dress up in African clothing or different things that Africans wear and model them showing there fashion what is close to home for them. For me to celebrate in this fashion show means a lot something I have never done before get to express myself in a way no one has seen before, representing culture and dance which are two important things to me. That night will be something I will never forget.

         My goals for the next four years at Southern are to stay focused keep up with the work load, my grades, but still having a social life with others. I want to graduate with my Nursing degree and start my career right away; helping other people is something I have been doing since I was little caring about others before caring about myself. Having a caring heart, to me I will be rewarded with saving someone’s life everyday or making sure someone is getting the proper treatment they deserve. Becoming a Nurse means everything so focusing on this is my priority right now in school that is my ticket to success.  

Final Movie Project

Last Campus Safari

As a college student it is very easy to get sick since you are always around people. For example, I have been sick twice while in college going to the health center because of colds which later turned into strep throat the couple of times I have been sick, then when I got better my roommates got sick which I felt bad cause I thought that I had got them sick. What they recommend me to do when I got the health center was to do when you have strep is to make sure you are drinking lots of fluid like tea and Gatorade. Also, it is important to get your rest, so you should try to go to bed early. If you are not feeling better in a couple of days then go back to the health center to get checked out again to see how your progress is going if it comes down to it for you to be put on antibiotics. But the question I ask myself. In college how you can stay healthy? First make sure you are always washing your hands and don’t put your hands near your face. When coughing or sneezing do those things into your arm not your hands because when you go to touch something you are spreading germs. Secondly, you need to make sure you are getting plenty of rest and eating right. If you abuse your body not eating, or drinking correctly going to bed at late hours your body will never heal, and you will stay sick or need medicine. Lastly, if you feel like you are becoming ill make an appointment to get checked out at the health center before it becomes worse you wouldn’t want to go home and be sick and miss out on classes and have all this work to make up on if your professor lets you. 

Coming down to an END :(

My ideal after life after college would have to be very well off. I will be a doctor a pediatrician to be exact. Since I love being around, and dealing with children I set a career based on me helping kids who are in need which I are about that most. I will move out of Connecticut after I graduate from college. Go to medical school outside of this state. While in medical I plan on getting married, then waiting a year to have kids. Once I graduate find a job build my career up. I plan to move either to Atlanta or California. I love places that are hot I can’t do the cold weather anymore. I have very high expectation and dreams that I want to fulfill in life. I want to build my own house from the ground up. Have a charity for kids and young adults, because I always love to give back to those who are less fortunate than me. Doing that and seeing children’s faces light up just because they got something or food for dinner really touches my heart, and sharing is something I always lived by when growing up. I am an only child so when people think that they say I must be spoiled, but that’s not case I earn the things I get by getting good grades. I don’t have things handed to me like some kids do. I think that my life after college is something special to me and I feel like I can accomplish it.

My experience this semester with the kids in my class I will always remember my freshman year in college. The part that I will miss most about my classmates sitting in anthropology and then talking about the professor with are inquiry teacher on how bad a teacher she is. I will miss everyone and how me make each other laugh, it’s like we are our own family, which I really don’t want to say goodbye too. Seeing them around campus makes it better, but it won’t be the same for me. When you connect, and get along with people for so long just not seeing them everyday will be a change in scenery. Having there cell phone numbers and hanging out on campus working on homework together will be another way of catching up and staying in touch. 

Talk show

For my final project I believe that the topic that I chose was very interesting. With Social life as my topic I plan to talk about what people do socially on campus whether it’s going out, making new friends, or hanging out with friends. What is going to make my movie interviews and a talk show that I am going to have different people’s opinion on what they do on campus of off campus. This will add a funny edge and I feel that this is a great way to get the viewers attention about social life. Also, I feel that I am going to add music and some bloopers to make it funnier. Since the movie has to be 8-10 min long I am going to ask more people outside the talk show and go around campus with my camera. This will make my movie stand out from other people. I don’t know if other people chose this topic to use for their movie. I feel like I can add a little bit of my energetic, bubbly, and out going self to the talk show, and have my viewers laughing about every little thing. I already have people I am going to interview I just have to work on question that will stand out, to my viewers to make people really think, or just be how is social life on campus how can we make it better.

Movie Outline

The problems that I am going to focus are either social life in college, or commuter vs. on campus person. The main piece is the problems that happen in social life on campus, and for commuter and campus life. I am going to talk about how commuters, feel when they aren’t as involved on campus. Because someone on campus is involved in campus, and is able to have the experience of living on there own. There is going to be a combination of interviews about what people do on campus to get involved, and interviews between people who commute and people who stay on campus. Between the interviews I am going to put statistics, about the difference between the topics I chose to do. Some things that I will talk about are people going on Thursdays and Fridays, and people what they do if the commute what they do at home in there spare time. For the solution I am going to have things that you can make staying on campus fun, and more inviting, or with social life things people can do on campus to make it fun. Also, then have interviews to see what students will do about the situation. Then I put things that other people have tried to solve the problem.

For Anthropology we are reading the Patterns of Culture book by Ruth Benedict. The book was something easy to find in the library since we have to read it for class. What I used to find this book was the database that has all the book they have in the library online, of all the books and found the location. Once I found this book, I checked it out and went on to start and reading this book. After reading one of the chapters the book is all about different cultures and how people act in their society. In the class we are now reading this, but she has us reading it for homework. In this book I have no idea what is going on, it is very confusing I think, and so does everyone in the class. I really can't say that much about it since I don't understand it, and the teacher really doesn't explain the book. So there is no words to explain this book. 

Social life on campus

This article is based on Social life in college. What do college kids do for fun, whether it’s going out to a party, club, organization/event on campus, and just hanging out with friends in there room. There are so many things you can do on campus you just have to find them by getting involved, and making new friends on campus. That is how your social life can really begin on campus or outside of campus. The best way to develop join your community is to do everything in a group with friends the first few weeks. When you attend meetings, invite others to join you so you won’t be there alone, and can make new friends. The same goes with lunch and dinner invite anyone and everyone. By doing this your developing a group, and or a community, within your dorm, which can be long lasting friendships. Maybe is can for studying. Letting people know who you are around and during the first few weeks of class. When you receive your first assignment, talk to anyone you met in your class, you have met and set a date a few days of the week before the assignment is due to get together as a group, and discuss just getting to know each other. Exchanging numbers finding out where each other live on campus, meeting people in their dorms. Just open up and be yourself, and you will make friends fast. Usually in your dorm they will have a bulletin board with a list of events and activities going on around campus, and outside campus. Some will be specific to your dorm while other events, are going on in different residence halls. I know in my dorm we have hall council every Monday, and we discuss things and events we may want to have in are hall. On Tuesday we had tie-die night, and we tie-die which was really fun I met new people who I didn’t know lived in my hall it was a great experience, and really fun at the same time. 

Brain

How the brain works, what goes on, and how does it affect are everyday life. The brain works in many ways if you ask me. Each side of the brain the left, and the right side do different things that we do everyday. And in these articles we read that the left side of the brain is often thought of as the logical, thinking side. Also, people of left-brain dominance tend to choose similar occupations. People whose left side of the brain is their more dominant side. Meaning they are better at these things. Which are good at math, like to read, very logical, dog lovers, don’t enjoy clowning around, need total quiet to read or study, and like to read realistic stories. These are some of the things people use, which think with their most dominant side, which is the left side. A Job opportunity for people whose left side is more affective to them consists of. Being a Lawyer, Lab Scientist, Banker, Judge, Mathematician, Librarian, and a Bacteriologist. To me the left side of the brain seems so scientific and good with numbers. Like they are kind of strict need to have more fun, but also study at the same time. Left side of the brain seems serious. Doing only certain things a certain is how it’s meant to be for them. Also when dealing with the left side of the brain things is taken serious, and certain jobs what you may have if the left side is your strongest. May seem like difficult jobs, but someone who likes to read and write can handle jobs like that if they come across it. Learning about the different sides of the brain was very interesting to me. Take the personality test and learning and seeing these things you actually do in life. Seeing them being proven was like wow I actually do that was pretty interesting.

Writing Workshop

I went to a writing workshop with two girls from my class and the topic was about study strategies with exams and midterms. The Professor who thought the workshop was Tom Colby. The workshop focused on different techniques and clues to find ways to figure out the answer, without really trying. The steps that you can figure out is how they write the sentences if there are clue words in the sentence. Like if there is an “and” you know its more than one answer take are. Also, it what helps is when you re-read the sentence, and break it down step by step. Getting ready for a midterm or exam you have to have all your study material, and what you want to study for. Key things like as in vocabulary that will help you study more. If you have flashcards that will help you get organized with memorizing the definition. For true and false you have to you process of elimination. Figuring out which one does not fit with the question. If you know its wrong that is not the answer. Getting good grades on exams and midterms, which are the short answer part, true/false, and essay questions. Essay questions are the most important part on midterms and exams. The reason why they the most important are because they count for the most, and show you how much you can write. 

Nutrition

My article is based on what my group and I did. Which was about nutrition in college students today. Most college students worry about, what they’re going to eat how will they survive on campus since they don’t live at home anymore. Some kids worry about if they are picky eaters, or maybe if there vegetarians. But the most thing kids worry about going to college. Is the freshman 15, all incoming freshman worry about that in College. Because you have no one telling you what to eat you can eat at anytime you feel like it, and no one telling you how much food is too much food for you to eat. For most kids the freshman 15 won’t be a problem. A lot of kids are active whether you play a sport, or belong to a gym on campus your eat least getting some type of exercise to keep you fit and healthy. In this article talks about freshman 15 first-year students are likely to gain weight but it might not be the full freshman 15 and it may not all happen during freshman year. Studies have shown that you don’t get the freshman 15 all at once. Some people get it in different periods. Whether it is all of freshman year, or maybe half sophomore year half junior year. Depends on the person. And who is losing or gaining this weight. But being careful about what you eat is very hard in college. But having the right attitude about it, and just really focusing on setting goals on what to eat. 

Drugs and Alcohol

In college alcohol and drugs is the main thing that is going on in college campuses. The most things that is going on is Underage drinking at parties. Kids when they go to house parties, and what not they have alcohol. Which is bad, because some kids can’t handle all the alcohol. And they are drunk, and bad things can happen. May be an accident or make some bad decisions and may regret them. Alcohol remains the substance of usage on college campuses by far, but the abuse of prescription drugs and marijuana has increased dramatically since the 90’s. Drug is the main thing that is very high in pursuit right now. Weed is the most things that most kids really do. Weed is very popular now everyone does it, and everyone knows where to get it from. The percentage of students who reported using illegal drugs other than marijuana, such as cocaine and heroin, in the past month jumped from 5.4% in 1993 to 8.2% in 2005. The percentage of illegal drug use had increased in the past six years. Because not a lot of people new about drugs as much, but since you see celebrity, and rappers smoke in there videos and talk about it in there songs. Kids think its okay to smoke, and don’t really know the consequences about it, and have to learn it the hard way if something happens to them. 

Important things to Me!

The thing that most, interest me the most I would have to say music and my family. My family and music are the things that are most important things in my life. I can’t live without my family; they have been with me through everything. Whether is it bad, or good they will always have my back, and nerve put me down. They back me up on anything I do or accomplish if life, or I don’t achieve anything they have my back. And music is something I love tot death. I cannot go a day without listening to some kind of music. Whether it is R&B, Hip Hop, Spanish, and Or Pop as long as it is something that makes me feel good, or in a better mood I love it so much. Or Even when I am singing out loud and I can’t even sing so that just makes me laugh in general. Those are the most interesting things in my life that make me feel a certain way. Whether it is good or bad something that I love till forever. Something that interests me that happens at SCSU I would have to say going to Zumba with my friends and roommates. Zumba is something I always loved when I first heard about it. Zumba is dancing, but a work out you sweat a lot. And dance something I love to do because I love dancing to Spanish music. Since I am half Spanish the music just speaks to me as a person and I feel alive. Being in Zumba just makes me happy which they have it at the gym in the Student Center at different times. Which can work with your schedule if you may have class that day. I encourage people to do Zumba if you haven’t tired it please do because it is so much fun. Once you do it once you will want to do it everyday. My roommate and I want to get are Zumba license so we can instruct the class and get paid for it. We love it that much to teach classes. 

Writing Center

Writing Center Safari

I went to the writing center this passed week actually twice. For two different subjects on two different essays I had to write. One essay was for my anthropology class about writing a paper about this article and putting into standard form, and the other one was for my English class writing a Literacy Narrative. My experience with the writing center was very helpful for me. They really take there time, and break down each paragraph of the essay even though the session is only thirty minutes. I would rate the writing center an eight because I wish it was at least forty five minutes. I defiantly would go back to writing center for anything I need help with.  Because I feel like they can make you a better writer, and even if you have struggles like me they said they can help me fix anything, or just touch up on certain things. 

Time Management

The video-making project about critical thinking took a lot of time management skills and organizing what you needed whether it is music, interviews, bloopers, text/quotes, or just you talking in the video. The most important thing is the technology and the sound can your hear the person giving in interview. The last thing is the length making sure is five minutes, or more so you must have the length. A) Brainstorming I really didn’t have any idea’s like specific things, I just knew I had to interview people and are professors, so that was the only thing I had to do that was brainstorming wise. No ideas really came to my head to do anything different I thought of music. B) I interviewed my anthropology professor, and I had asked her the question about what is critical thinking. How she used it outside school, or when teaching her classes. C) I gather quotes from other anthropologist or philosophers and what they think about critical thinking, and what it means to them. E) Learning to use Imovie was so much fun I have to say it was my first time using it, and know that I know how to use it I want to use it more, and do other stuff with it making video’s with my friends, just having fun with them. F) It was trouble shooting the video asking people them to be in the video. Some people didn’t want to be in the video they were camera shy, so I got denied with that. But that was only trouble I had with my video.  My time management with this video could have been better, I waited till the last minute, which I shouldn’t have done. Know I no for the next video to prepare and be more organized. 

Shooting My Video!!!

Making this video for inquiry class I thought was very interesting. To go around asking people what critical thinking is I would have to say that is something hard to do. Because for me I really do not know the exact definition or what exactly critical thinking is really. I know I hear about it all the time from teachers and other people outside of school. I never really paid it any mind on what it actually means. For my inquiry project we had to ask around, or go up to whether is a stranger someone you no any one. Asking them what critical thinking means, how we use it outside of school or work. Any other question you could have came up with to ask them about it. So me being that I am not good with talking to random strangers and asking them questions, I asked people I no my roommate and one of my close friends on campus. And another part we had to do is ask one of are professors from are classes asking them the same questions which I thought was hard. When I first approached my friends it was kind of hard. They looked at me like I was crazy or something, and which they said sure I will be in your video. So one girl new what it meant the other girl had to look it up because she had no idea what I was even talking about. When I asked my professor the question, she kind of went off on a ramble which made no since to what my question was about, that was difficulty I thought for me. With my video I think that I should have had better time management skills be more organized about my time, and organization. What I did to fix it add music make it more interesting less boring as you could say. What I have learned from this experience that you may get rejected being that some people don’t like to be on camera but if you ask the right people, and at least put an effort you will find someone who will be willing too.

Movie Project/ Critical Thinking Book

My Project for Inquiry I think would be very well; I have a set up of what I am going to ask my professors. And some of my friends, or just some random people that I see walking by on campus, and I stop and ask them. What they think critical thinking is, and see what their answer will be. For me asking the professor's how they think Critical Thinking is use on a day-to-day basis of a college student I think would be a good question. And me asking people I know will be easy just have them be their selves on the video while they are answering the question. My friends really don't know when I am going to interview them one day I am going to come up to them with a camera and just ask them what they think critical thinking is 

One article that I read was about critical thinking and blogging. This was particularly something that we talk about and do in are INQ class, and this article just stuck with me and very interesting how the things that we do in this class relate to what others may do. For us to blog about what we think is critical thinking just like what people in this article are talking about. For my INQ class we had to go to the Library and learn how to look up books, and be familiar with the library. Since we have a project on critical thinking we had to do a worksheet and look up, find and take out a book.

Stress!!!!!

Stress is something I defiantly have trouble with as a student in college. I always use to stress about little things in High School, but never this bad before. Its so bad that I get anxiety now and I have to calm myself down because its just so much to take in at one time it hits you like a ton of bricks. They always said college will be difficulty but I did not think this bad. Something that helps me relieve stress was when I talk to my mom or my family and like telling them about my day. How things are going they give like advice or there input on what’s going on how they can help me in my situation I have with something which really helps for me a lot my family is my number one in my life, and college life. 

Being Sick

Being Sick is something that is not fun at all, Having Time management is very difficult when being sick you have to juggle your time and when to rest and do homework. In high school if you miss a day of class you can make up the homework and be good. But in college if you may have took a test that day or you had a paper due. You will not get credit for that paper or assignment and you will end up with a zero for that assignment or test. Some strategies you can use when you think your getting sick, or if you are sick. Do you homework ahead of time, try to always wash your hands use sanitizer always. Just take some medicine and try to do your best because in a real job and your sick. Mom and Dad aren’t going to be able to do it for you, being the bigger person and just doing it even though you feel miserable it has to be done. Having a back up plan for your homework is something good to have because if you wait till the last minute that will end not so pretty.  

Why are we in college?

Why we are in college can mean many different things to many people, on the reason could be your parent forced you to be here and you have no choice, another reason you want a good job and paid very well in the future being very successful. Many people have different reasons or different things that may makes them be in college, whether living on campus or commuting you are still part of your colleges community and should intact in everything they do or having going on outside or away from campus

The reason why I am in college is because I want to be either a pediatrician or a midwife so I need to go to school for that to be successful in my field. And another reason why is because being a nurse you will have a guaranteed job graduating from college and you will get paid good being successful and I want to be successful. I have goals in life I want to achieve before I die like travel the world, which you need money for so having a successful job I will have those opportunities in life to do that.

So people who usually go to college either for a good education and maybe even continue on to more education. Getting a good job by being successful or by there parents making them go to college because they can’t just sit around the house and do nothing for themselves. 

Who Deserves an A?

I think Hannah deserves an A because she always gives details and you can tell she gives alot of time on her blogs and really reads and grabs people's attention. When she was talking about the professional blogs I thought she gave excellent details and which how the mean something to her or just seem interesting to her to read and blog about.
<http://hannaexploringtheuniversity.blogspot.com/>

The next person I think deserves an A louie, his blog is so creative it just makes you want to read all that he wrote and the different drawing he has. Some things I read just makes me laugh because I can just hear him telling us about in class and he is just so funny. Just looking at his blog makes me want to be more creative like him.
<http://louiehappyblogtime.blogspot.com/>

And the last person I would give an A is Adrianna because her blog is different the font the background and the way she tells her blogs with a kind of story vibe that makes you want to get to no her more as a person and someone you can read about it. When she was blogging about the power of the articles and it talks about the amount you do homework and calculate the time you spend doing homework and other things, that is something that I can do to have better time management

College Life

Another professional blog is about "College Life". Since being a freshman you really don't know what goes on college unless you have older siblings or you see movies about it. You think its the party life and nobody does any work. Which is somewhat not true. College is hard work and stressful going from high school to living by yourself let alone if your far away from home. This blog I found gives advice and helpful tips about college life. Whether your home sick or you just need some good study skills to help you get organized. I found it helpful on this website to really have an understanding on what college really is. What interest me about this was one blog about being home sick which for people who live far might happen to them. Miss mom's good food and hanging out with your friends from high school on the weekends. And since everyone went there different ways. It is hard to stay in touch with people, but this blog shows that a phone call or just a facebook message saying "hey" can really help keep in touch with your friends you miss. Its both visual and writing styles. And would be helpful to some people and want to get use to the college life.

Shoe blog

The one thing I love without a doubt is shoes. Shoes are a girls best friend I think have a lot of shoes is something I want to have when I get older. So for my professional blog I did the thing that catches my eye the most and something that relates to me is shoes. My blog is talking about designer shoes and what the fall collection compared to the summer collection this year. And the different designers telling what they like and dislike about the collection of shoes and what should they add or change about it. The style of writings that consist of this blog is more visual with a picture of the shoes or shoe and just comments of the designers said about it. What interest me about the shoe blog is that its something I love and passionate about shoes and they just make me happy and like a little girl trying on my mothers shoes and wishing I could fit them and where them just like her.

Multitasking

Multitasking is something that some people can do, and others have a problem with. I no for me personally I cannot multitask for my life. I can only do one thing at once. If someone is talking to me and if doing something. I just get distracted and forget about the other thing. And then I feel like after that happens I feel behind and just rushed. Which I don’t understand. Being able to Multitask can be a good thing and bad thing. The bad thing about it is joggling one hundred things at once is not good for you to do at all. You will be over stressed and just crash because you may not be getting enough sleep. But it’s a good thing because it keeps you focused if you can handle a good amount of things at the same time. Having balance and being focused and organized or good tools to have in life and especially as a college student. Since you are adjusting to getting use to your schedules and the different times you wake up everyday it will take sometime to get use to from getting up at 6 o clock or 7 o clock to go to school everyday and eating lunch at a certain time. With time to just chill and do homework and not have to watch the clock to figure out what class I am going to next. Because in High School were so use to having bells telling us when class is over not in college. Having your parents wake you up in the morning how I miss those days. With multitasking takes practice I think if you can take on challenges and not feel rushed to finish or you will do a bad job, or if you have a job you work at everyday then multitasking will be something natural to you. 

Working Hard to Succeed

Working Hard to achieve in life. Can be Hard sometimes. Being in College trying to balance work, fun, and just time to relax can be hard for some people. Especially for me I no I get distracted very easily so trying to stay on top of your work and be dedicated is very hard. A situation, a good hard working person working hard to something they want to achieve. What would it take for a person or myself to work hard to meet the goals I set for myself. Set up a plan, write a list of things you want to set by a certain date and see if you can come up with more when you reach your due date. The deeper meaning to this article is to help us build a momentum on how to get things done, and not stressing out over the little things just focus on the things that are important right now. You must work hard and smart. Make good choices and be success in what ever your heart desires. Make a list of things that you need to complete. Make a note of it and keep track, kind of keeping score of the things that you do everyday. Then when the week is over make a note of what you do the most.

My CC Jasmine and I. My CC is the best ever. She is easy to talk to and she handles any situation very well whether its good or bad. We have are floor meetings which consists of are floor coming up with new ideas or fun things we can do as a floor. Either decorating are bulletin board, or fun things we can do to bring people together and making new friends. As a hall. I think having a good CC you can talk to is a good thing and like having a good role model. And maybe I will be a CC and a freshman will look up to me the same way I look up too mine. 

What does college means to me?

College to me is a big learning experience. Living on your own not listening to your parents and them telling you what to do all the time. Being independent for your decision making and other things you may do in life. But being in college also you have fun meet new people and experience new things in life. This semester of my first time in college I want to stay on top of my work and stay focused and organized, and if I need help with something ask about, instead of sitting back and struggling your first semester, since I never really lived on my own before and doing things for myself as an adult. But being in college will help me realize what I want to do in life, and how I want to live it as the person I am today. Getting a good education and a good job. I can accomplish many things I want to do in life since I was little and making my dreams come true.

Well I have a lot of things that describe me as a person. But the most that
people really see in me would have to be

        

CARING- I am a very caring person when it comes to people I care about the most in my life. Whether is my family, friends, boyfriends, and animals/pets. I have a loving and caring heart about them making sure I am always there for them no matter what the problem is I will always have there back in a good or bad situation they are in.

Everyone could be in the worst mood every, but I will be that one person that will make everyone day better and brighter with a smile hoping I cheer you up about your day. 

    

  Loving person is what i am, you can be the meanest person in the world to me.. Or just to someone i care about. And I will still have love for you as a person. I don't like to start trouble or fights with people I wish that everyone got along with each other, and have no problems with one another. Caring and loving for others is basically how I am towards people. 

I am all about my family. They are number ones in my life. Me and my cousin are like sisters she lives in New Jersey so I do not see her as much but when we do see each other we have fun together and always making each other laugh. And that is how my whole family is making each other laugh having a good time
