Halloween

Every year Halloween is rolling right around the corner and every year I go all out for what I want to be during that whole day. For the last couple of years I have been dressing up in something that will be different from anyone else. I don’t like to dress up into something that just came out because everyone else will be wearing that costume. It’s the only time of the year where you can dress up and not be you but portray something totally different. For instance for one year I was a pumpkin, another I was a black fairy, and a scary monster. I always like to do something different that no one will expect me to do. I get my makeup and hair done professionally. This year I will be a angel and I am going to the Halloween parade in the city with all of my friends. I don’t like to go out clubbing because everyone does that and this year I wanted to do something fun and interesting with all of my friends. I can’t wait to see what everyone’s costumes are. I have to say that Halloween is probably one of my faviorate holidays besides Christmas. This Halloween will be different for me because I am spending with friends that I can actually rely on.

My Birthday

My favorite holiday of the whole year is my Birthday. My birthday means so much to me because it’s my special day. Ever since I was a little girl my mom and I had a rough life. We were also alone the first two years of my birthday and we grew a close relationship. Knowing that my mom was able to have two beautiful children and still be able to raise us both means a lot to me. Anyone’s birthday is a special day for that one person to celebrate. I love the gifts and everyone being on top of my special day. This year I will be 21 years old and I cannot wait. All my friends are especially excited for me. They can all go out for my birthday and treat me an amazing time. Also turning 21 is a big issue for anyone for that fact. It’s the day you become an adult and you start to learn responsibility and understand the true meaning of being an adult. I can’t wait for my birthday to come and it will be a night I will never forget.

What My Future Holds For Me

As a little girl I always wanted to be something that represented me and my life, but I could never figure it out. Growing up I always had an infatuation with animals. I always put my heart out there for them and tried to always help them. As the years went on my parents knew how much I loved animals and they decided to buy me my first pet. He was a cat and his name was Keith. To our whole family we never considered him an animal, but a family member. As the years went on we bought two dogs, which also became a part of our family. As I started to grow up and enter high school I knew it was time to start thinking about my future and since I loved animals, I knew I wanted to a vetenarian. But, growing up as usual there are always people sitting there trying to put you down. Saying that you can’t be what you want to be. As I started college, I majored in vetenarian and people were still there telling me otherwise. I dropped out of college and worked for a little because then I knew I didn’t know what I wanted to be. As a teenage we all tend to get a little confused and don’t know what we want to be. Coming to St. Johns I started to think more hard about my goals and what my future would hold me and now I want to become a Psychologist. I am extremely interested in the mind and reading people very well. I think it is an interesting field and that’s what I want to pursue my goal in. For the rest of my life I hope to find a good husband and have a wonderful family. Now that I am older I always think about my future and what it may hold for me.

The Issues Relating to Myspace

What is the one thing that keeps you glued to your computer for hours? Keeps you distracted from reality? MySpace have become so popular over the past year. A company called News Corp. spent $580 million last year just to buy it. Then Google made a $900 million deal, just to advertise with it. Some students now say they are over MySpace and the new hotspot is Facebook. Jackie Birnbaum a student from Church High School says that she is over MySpace and that it is old news. She says that she spends more of her time on Facebook then anything else. MySpace has been around for about 2 ½ years and within that time it has 124 million profiles and is still growing to this day. MySpace allows you to have a profile, email, and photo album which can be shared with friends. MySpace has its advantages and disadvantages. Some of the advantages are that you can keep in touch with old friends, talk to new friends. But the disadvantages are that there are a lot of petafilers and just plain weird people. I have a MySpace account and when I first decided to become a member I was just glued to the computer for hours and hours at a time. I only joined it to see what old friends were up to and keep in touch with people I know. But now MySpace to me is just a distraction and can get very addicting on who is sending you mail and comments for your profile. People today will do anything to stalk and look at other peoples MySpace just to keep track on them. I think MySpace is good to a certain extent but after that it just becomes a distraction to reality and understanding the issues that really and truly matter in the world.

Gay Marriage: Should It Be Allowed?

Same sex marriage issues have been around for an extremely long time. The issues of people of the same sex wanting to get married have becoming a bigger issue. These days there are a lot of reason people argue about same sex marriage. One for example is that marriage should only be between a man and woman. They basically say that same sex marriage immoral and wrong. Another reason is that same sexes aren’t allowed to raise any child. They think that is you are a same sex couple, your child will be teased and bullied and therefore it is unhealthy to raise a child. Psychologists say what is the difference if a child is being raised by either and same sex couple or heterosexual couples, as long as that child is being taken care of and being loved what is the difference. Also the bible says that marriage should only be between man and woman. People for a while have always brought the Bible into argument with this situation. I believe if two people are happy and love each other whether it is same sex or opposite sex they should be allowed to get marry and be able to raise children. I also believe that the real reason people oppose gay marriage is that they are just uncomfortable with the idea or two people of the same being all over each other in that kind of way. We are all human and we all have equal rights. So why do gay people have to suffer. They put it out there basically saying that gay people are wrong. But therefore, there are still sex-offenders, racist people, robbers and murders on the street and all people care about are gay issues. I have a lot of friends who are gay and I don’t think they should be treated any less then people who like the opposite sex. People who judge are immoral and have no right to judge for no reason. I think same sex should be allowed if two people love each other.

My Significant Place

The place that is most significant to me I would have to say is the block that I live on today. The reason why my block means so much to me is because I was born and raised on my block the first few years of my life. Being a only child and living with my mom who had to play the role of being both parents was very difficult. Before my sister was born my mom and I were extremely close. I always looked up to my mom even to this day. She put her children before herself. My significant place I would have to say is our significant place. It is a bond that we have knowing that we both shared special moments there. Its is a bond that no one could break. Even though I was such a young child at the time I could remember it like it was yesterday. The smell, taste of certain foods everything. I don't even live that far away from where I use to live as a child. I could even remember how the yard looked too. I have to say that me and mom over the last few years had driven apart because of the struggle I went through. But everytime I am down she pulls out those special pictures and talks about those special moments that we use to have together. My mom is my role model and I want to be like her when I get older because she is a strong women and I want to take after her.

Travis Barker and DJ AM: Plane Crash

On Friday, September 19, 2008 a plane crash had occurred. The passenger’s that were on the plane included former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker , DJ AM, Barker's assistant, Chris "Little Chris" Baker, Barker's security guard, Charles Still, the plane's pilot, Sarah Lemmon, and her co-pilot, James Bland. The four passengers’ on the plane were killed while Barker and DJ AM were in critical condition. Travis Barker and DJ AM had just performed at the free T-Mobile sponsored show in the Five Points area. Bother Barker and AM were transported to a hospital in Columbia following the crash. They were in critical condition at the hospital with extensive amounts of burns. Travis Barker had severe burns from the waist down , while AM only suffered facial burns. Travis Barker and DJ AM very extremely lucky to have survived the plane crash while the four other passengers were killed. In the past decade there were at least 13 plane crashes that included celebrities and they were all killed by plane. Luckily Barker and AM had survived this dreadful plane crash. I believe a lot of celebrities either die or are immensely hurt in plane crashes just by private jet. Private pilots don’t have a lot of training compared to pilots who drive commercial planes containing a lot of passenger’s. I think that pilots who drive private jets should go through the same training as commercial pilots. A lot of these cases containing private jets would decrease because of the training they should be getting. This plane crash took place just before midnight on Friday, September 19, 2008. While the plane was still on the ground, overran the runway, struck by an antenna array and several lights and starting sparking. It then skidded of the runway, through a perimeter fence separating the airfield from a nearby roadway, and then crossed the roadway, coming to a stop on an embankment. The plane then caught on fire through impact. I would have to say that God was surely watching over them because they had survived while the four other passengers on board had died.
