Journal #16 (Life was Fearful)

I always draped of coming this far in life but I never really thought I would get here. I always went through school trying to prove to everyone that I can do it. That I can learn and do everything everyone else can, I just always had to try harder in everything. Everyday there was a challenge that I had to face, fearing all of them. And I fought hard, knowing that the next day would bring me closer to achieving the goals I had for myself than. I 'm proud of myself that I didn't let life tar me down.

Journal #14 (A not so good plan)

A plan that I came up with recently was of course, had to do with me being sneaky. For the whole weekend I planed on watching every one's moves, and listen in on my families plane for my birthday. But that didn't work out so will this time. They led me to believe that they were was only going to be a cake. But a day before, totally surprised me. By my family tagging up my room with birthday stuff. And my friends tagging up my car was some more birthday stuff. I don't know what happened, I am always the one that knows everything that goes on in our house. I guess I'll have to get better at my game.

Journal #13 (Dairy Queen)

My favorite commercial would have to be this kind of old Dairy Queen commercial. There are two guys setting outside a Dairy Queen, eating a Blizzard. And out of nowhere they buss out with this crazy beat. I thought it was so funny. I think it was because it reminded me of my family. We do that kind of thing all the time.

Journal # 11 (Flagstaff)

For me, the most spectacular place I have ever seen was Flagstaff. I don't know what it is about that place. The mountain, the sunsets and sunrises are just so beautiful. Ever time it takes my breath away. It's almost like your in this painted picture. But a new one ever time.

Journal #9 (text messaging being banned)

I read an article talking about banning texting messaging while driving. For the most part I totally agree with Phoenix passing this law. I believe that having a law that bans texting, is making driving on the roads a little safer. I think that it was unfortunate that officials began to put their foot down, when a deadly accident, the cause being texting, accrued.

Journal #8 (So far it's good)

So far in this course, for me there are some like and dislikes. But over all i think this course is helping me a lot. what I like about this course is that I'm in the process of become a better writer. Well okay, maybe I really don't have any dislikes because right know I can't think of any. But I do wish that I had more time in the days to get things done on time. Its been getting harder, but I hope that I can stick with it and start to control my time better. For the sake of all my classes.

Journal #7 (Something I noticed about myself today)

Something that I have notice about myself this morning is that I've been thinking a lot about the person I'm really am. And the person that I appear to be through others eyes. I have realized that who I want to be, around certain people, I can't for some reason or another. I've been trying to figure why that is. I don't like the fact that I have to be two different people. There is a side of me that is really loud, outgoing, funny, who loves to perform and be apart of anything that is positive. And then there's the other side that is really shy, who has this big phobia of speaking to others face to face, talking in front of a lot of people, and has a hard time getting points across. Maybe I only feel like I have to be this way.

Journal #6 (Threating' graffiti at Gilbert High)

I choose to read the article "Threatening' graffiti found at Gilbert High" stating that 2 young boys found a gun on their way to school and took it on school grounds. I felt that these kids should have known better. They should have went right to the police or even the principle right away. They should have known that they would get in a lot of trouble, even before picking it up.

Journal #5 (President Bush)

I read an article about the president of the United States, describing what roles they gain well serving their four or eight year term. Some of these roles include being head of the executive branch and the federal government, as well as commander in chief of the armed forces. Well reading this I started to think about what George Bush has done to be highly qualified for being all that required to be the President of the United States. I believe that the current president could do a much better job.

Journal #4 (Would I really want to be famous?)

When I was younger I would always tell my parents that one day I would be famous. Either as a this incredible singer or as an actress. Most people don't know that I'm a pretty go actor. Even though it's something I really like doing, i wouldn't want to be famous for that. I wouldn't want people invading my life just because other people want to know the days in the life for a famous person. Who people want to know only because they only see them as some type of a performer. But I wouldn't mind being famous for something that I have done that has made a great impacted on peoples lives. Maybe something like Bongo, who does all these things that has had a big impact on people, or like Oprah with everything that she has done over the many years.

Journal #3 ( the dare)

I remember a time when I believe I was about 12 years of age, and was dared to do something that would go down in history of our neighborhood. Me and my best friend at the time was dared to get some caution tape, tape off the middle of the street of our block. And then have someone, that someone being me, lie down in the middle. As if it was some big crime sense that the police had just up and left. The neighbors freaked out and really called the copes. But before the police could get there we took everything down, ran and hide in our jungle hiding spot. It was one of the stupidest things I have ever did, but it was also the most remembered and exciting one ever.
