My Final post.........

    My favorite class writing was about a viewpoint of something that we watched a video about. it was a neat to see the world through a bagels eyes. My least favorite was critiquing a ted talks video about stress being good for you.  I didn't like it because I thought it was a very good speech and it was in interesting twist on what we think about the impact of stress on us. They got better as we furthered into the semester. The spelling got better, there was less grammatical errors, and my thoughts developed better towards the end of the semester. The more practice I got the better my writing got. Practice makes perfect in this scenario.  The only thing I would change about my writing this semester would be that I would have put more thought and creativity into my free writings. They would have been better and I would be more proud of them at the end. I liked how we could express ourselves in the course. I liked how we could just free write our problems away. I wish that we had more writing assignments to help prepare us for upper level classes in our future. If I could have a do-over for this semester I would try harder and just put more effort into the things I did. This semester I learned that I need to push myself to help further my development as a student, thinker, and as a writer. I think that you could have given us more writing assignments to help further our development as a writer for upper level classes or reviewed our writings to see how we could improve. I think I would have an 'A' I was here and on time every class but one, which I was sick and thought I was dying, So I think I have the attendance part. I also participated in many different group assignments and even helped take the reins on some. 

I Believe.


I believe that without overcoming your fears you will not be able to grow as a person. Sometimes you just need to open your mind.  Fears are hard to control, but they will overcome you. They can hold you back from achieving your dreams. Fear can even lead to isolation, prejudice, and violence. As Franklin D Roosevelt said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” I believe in overcoming fears.
Fear can overcome you in your daily life. It can be fear of giving a presentation to a group of coworkers scared that you might pitch something stupid. Being fearful of someone of another race walking in the opposite direction down the street. Sometimes it all might just be in your head, imagining things that aren't there. You might have the greatest pitch in the world. You won’t know until you pitch it and face your fears. The person walking down the street might be the same as you on the inside. Just because they don’t have the same color doesn't mean they are some kind of escaped convict. 

Sometimes you just need to let go and see where the world will take you. Everything does happen for a reason. On the way to achieving your dreams there will be road blocks you will need to overcome. You may even discover fears you didn't even know you had. It will take strength to get past them. 

Strange Morning?

If I woke up this morning and found that I was invisible I would spend my day being a fly on the wall and I would confuse people all day long. I would also go into all the “off limits” places I could find.

Cars

If cars wouldn't have been invented It would be hard to get around with a horse and buggie with how spread out everything is in today’s society. Everything would be different than how it is today. Everything would go back to the old days. I don’t know how much the world would have changed if we didn't have cars.

That One Lady

There once was a lady with brown hair. She was an adventurist woman. She was a professional snowboarder in Colorado and had a tragic accident while on the slopes. While going down the slopes she became very anxious and began to get in a hurry. She worked very hard to correct her speed but she ended up losing balance and fell down the hill. After coming to a stop at the bottom of the hill she was chilly being covered in snow and paranoid stuck without help for two days.  After being found she was air lifted to a hospital because she could not move her lower body and has hurt neck.  After being in the hospital for a day, she was told she had some brain damage and she might lose her hair. And she would have to do months of physical therapy because she can’t walk well. Although she was hard working during physical therapy she did lose her hair. She became tired and bored of physical therapy. She went to a beauty specials to help her self-esteem. The beauty specialist tried hats and beads, but Ellen thought that she still looked too nerdy. The next step of the specialist was to use a wig. It was perfect, she could be dressy, and she could use glasses since she couldn't see very well. She now viewed herself as a tall beautiful women. She decided she would do something crazy and get a tattoo to remind her of her experience. She can no longer snowboard but now enjoys music and playing with dogs.

Lottery Winnings

What if I won the lottery I wouldn't do the same thing as the people who lose it all and then go completely broke. I would keep my job, and would give some to charity and help the people around me. I would also help out at my horse barn by putting in an indoor arena and I would get a new tractor. The one we have now is hard to start. I would plan according to how much I won and wouldn't buy a huge house and a bunch of nice cars. The money would run out faster than you would think with all the taxes on the house and cars. It all would be impractical when you've lost all the important people in your life after it all went to your head. I realize that it wouldn't be as easy as I think it would be to not get greedy and I realize that some people who would come around me just because they are greedy. There are some shows on TV about the lottery changing peoples lives for the greater and also the worst. Some people have improved their lives and others have run their lives in the ground. Money really does make people go crazy sometimes. 

The Starbucks life

What if Starbucks wasn't so expensive the world would be a better place. Everyone would be a lot nicer in the morning and more things could get accomplished. Coffee helps to alert oneself in the morning or whenever they need a cup of coffee to awaken them. Coffee can be seen in many peoples hands as they go to work in the morning. It should be cheaper so the world can be a better place.  Everyone could find Starbucks being cheaper a good idea. There is more to them that just coffee there is hot chocolate, brownies, scones, and even breakfast sandwiches. Just being able to have some of their amazing food could bring out the good in anyone's morning. The world could improve so much with cheaper coffee. So much more could be accomplished in the morning when someone is complaining about being tired they could actually be getting their job done punctually. I would be an all around good idea for Starbucks to be cheaper. They don’t need to tax as much as they do. They would even get more business if they lowered their prices. No one wants to get a medium cup of coffee for 5 dollars and make their wallet to scream at them.
