Week 16: 2016 is Owning Me

i have learned a lot in 2016. Very important things that i will use throughout my life. i have met a few new people and i hope that i will get to know them better. I have grown a lot. I have grown spiritually and mentally (even physically. its sad, but its true). mi still learning a lot and i have a lot more to learn. although it would be easy to do everything perfect and skip over time, i want to make mistakes and go through the agony of time and trying to adopt patience. God is reshaping me to become a better person and i am trying my best to please Him. There have been ups and downs throughout my whole life. I have a huge puzzle to solve in order to continue life with  happiness, and i am close to solving it. I have soooo much still ahead of me. I was told to not think about life as a race to perfection, but as an experience to appreciate the perfection of God. We will try to perfect ourselves, but we will never be perfect. so the goal is not to perfect, but to come close to it to be the best people we can be. I am very excited to go out and start my life, but i am also savoring what it means to still be a kid without adult responsibilities. my childhood is nice, but it wont be here for long. I am praying that i will not have too much hardship to where i can't openly love again. im sure that won;t happen, but i must saying it would be very bad if it did. there is soooo much people don't know about me. but in the future, i will not hold back from telling my story and what my life's missions are. I can tell all of you reading this that i will not hesitate from doing what my heart desires. I will go out there and accomplish my dreams. Watch me.

Week 15: Winter Wonderland

I LOVE SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When i lived in East Peoria, i made a secret cove with 2 different tunnels into it. it took me and 4 other kids in the neighborhood about 30 hours total to complete it! It was in a parking lot that had a GINORMOUS snow pile from the snow plows. we dug two tunnels in it; one from the side towards the top and one on the other side. we made a room inside that could squish 3 of us inside. it was super cool to us kids back then. i boasted about our accomplishments at school and a lot of kids didn't believe me. so i had my 5th grade best friend Krislynn be a witness and prove their doubts wrong. i was super disappointed when it melted....
I have made many igloos in my life too. but little ones that i didnt get time to finish.
My dad and i spent 8 hours on a 4 foot wide and 6 foot tall snowman. It lasted about 2 weeks and I told everyone i couldn't wait to knock it down when it got close to melting. but my brother and his friend Kyle, being the immature and inconsiderate idiots they were, knocked it down without asking anyone and knew that it was mine and i wanted to knock it down. OOOOO I WAS SOOO MAD! i cried. i've always been emotional. by the way, i was about 8 when that happened. I used to love making snowmen but i stopped having fun in snowmen after that.
I love the snow and I can't wait to share that love with my kids when it is time to. (:

Week 14: SOS!

On the surface, Washburn looks like a quaint, happy, and safe town. But once you dig a little deeper, it is definitely not as happy and safe as you thought it to be. The schools are even weirder. There's something about it, but you can't quite put your finger on it.
I want to report something that will change Washburn and the world. I found a trap door in the library that has been covered up by a book shelf that has recently been moved. I entered it and found people in big cages made of green lasers. There were about 35 of them down a long hall. At the very end, there was a man that had big muscles and a very handsome face. I asked them all questions and they came up with this:

• they are Kryptonians from Krypton but captured and imprisoned for around 20 years (they lost count because they never see sun and the man that feeds them wears the same clothes year 'round) because Zod was evil and it cast a fear among Washburnians. 
• they are slowly dying because of the exposure to the kryptonite
• they need to be released because the government is up to something terrible that will destroy all life on planets that are known to Kyrptonians. 
• their future was revealed within the stars so they decided to send a message to Earth to change it. but it turned against them. The comics of Superman were written by a man that couldn't keep the message a secret, but he didn't want to be killed for saying it was real and the government was keeping a GIANT secret. 

I am happy that Washburn is Smallville in most ways, but so many things are wrong with this situation. So please, everyone, do something about my SOS because i am in grave danger and so are Kryptonians. the government will kill me for finding out. They are already after me. If you are reading this, DO SOMETHING! we can stand against the government! save our neighboring planets! we would want the same done for us! and save ME!

Week 13: Humility is a Tough to Learn

My most recent thing i am working on is being humble. i am shaping myself to be the best servant i can be for God. So throwing a parade for myself is definitely not something i would do. but if there had to be a parade centered on me, i would chose to make it about what i want to contribute to in my life.

These are the things that would be in my parade:

• A float of the Crucifixion of Jesus. Spreading the word of Jesus and what he has done for us and what we should do in return is something i will be doing until i die. This float would throw out cute necklaces and bracelets with the cross on them. 
• A symbolic float of world poverty. I hope to contribute to making people's lives better by not only sending them down the path of being saved, but also to better their lives by giving them more chances for jobs, homes, food, and more. This float would provide information of organizations that help the helpless and the poverty.
• A symbolic float for world peace. Obviously if the world was in total peace, there would be nothing to fear except what happens after you die (which is between you and God). 
• A symbolic float of humility. If everyone's actions were to serve God and help all humans instead of themselves, the world would be pretty close to being at peace. sounds nice, right?
• A float of nature. I want everyone to respect and love nature as much as i do. It is beautiful and sometimes feels untouched by our deadly existence. It is a place to relieve stress and in most ways to think in the eyes of God. This float would release doves and butterflies. 
• A float of FOOD. I love food. my body should easily indicate that. everyone should love food as much as i do. and everyone should have food, there are no excuses. This float would throw out food.
• A float playing music. Music is a way to reflect your emotions and most likely figure out why you are feeling them which is super important. This float would be playing the hottest hits (if they are appropriate for children.
• A float with tons of things that sum up happiness. Nothing can be good and turn out right if you aren't happy and if you surround yourself with negative things. 
• A float filled with things symbolizing generosity. I am a very generous person to people that do and don't deserve my generosity. I love to help people and give away stuff i do and don't need. I have been like this since a baby. This float would throw out expensive prizes and wrapped food.

i hope i got close to touching all of the bases i intended to but i cant ponder on it too much because it is getting too long. haha 

Week 12: Roses and Thorns

Since i'm doing this blog a week later than i was supposed to, I'm going to write it about this week.

The THORNS of this week: not having enough time to cram in homework and doing it last minute. That is always the worst. Calling out one of my friends when it was necessary. *sorry*... battling depression. I cant seem to get away from bad thoughts. When im awake and when im sleeping. it sucks.... struggles at home AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON EXPLAINING WHY..... being mad at the book series im reading because when does a book ever go the way you want it?.... finding out i can't see my mom for another 2 weeks. i miss her...

The ROSES of this week: Accomplishing to finish all of my homework! yay!.. I recently accepted Jesus Christ as my savior and i am working on the responsibilities that comes with.... I was in formed in a very emotional moment that my dad will always look forward to me coming home to visit him when im out of the house and he will support all of my decision s as long as they aren't terrible ones. lol..... i found out my grandma was safe in the Canton explosion. She works at Goodwill, RIGhT NEXT TO WHERE THE EXPLOSION WAS, and she didn't get hurt. but the Goodwill windows did get blown out and when she went out to her car, it had tons of rubble on it from the explosion. she drove home to calm down her nerves. im glad she wasn't hurt! (my cousin also works at Goodwill with her but im pretty sure he wasn't there when it happened....... My little brother has been sooo adorable! he is learning the cutest things like saying "mouw" and "wuff wuff " then panting like an excited dog and picks up his ball with his mouth ad shakes it around while growling. i know that was a run on sentence but i dont care. im meeting new friends at my youth group and im close to getting my license so i can do more with them. soon i can go to more open houses at colleges and that is always FUN AND FANTASTIC!

life comes with ups and downs but mine usually balance out. and if they dont, i know how to deal with what comes with it. so dont worry much about me. ill be fine....

Week 11: Reading Donald Trump's Mind

If i could chose to read someone's mind for 24 hours, I would chose to read Donald Trump's mind. I would go deep and uncover his secrets. I would ask him questions and know his REAL answer. I would find out what all of his opinions are on major topics that were circulating in the election. I would get personal with all of my questions. I would also make sure I ask him about his plans with bills and what he is going to do in office. I would spend the whole day with him and try to wire into his brain while he is sleeping to see what he dreams of too. I will just act like a reporter digging deep into Donald trump's life so my ability isn't given away. Once I'm done, I will tell everyone what I have discovered. Then, we may be able to be prepared for what happens while Donald Trump is president.

Week 10: Changing The Ghost Image

If I were suddenly a ghost, I would go around every where and hunt for bad ones that like to hurt people. Especially demons. I would protect everyone from the evil that is preying on them. And once I stop the devil from sending evil souls to torment us, i will make the image of ghosts friendly. We will give advice about the afterlife and make the truth about after death known to everyone. Then maybe people would stop having wars over religion because the after death with for sure be known. At least the 1st step if there are steps to it but we dont know that, do we?

Week 9: I Wish For Humanity To Be Saved

Wish 1:   World Peace. I would want things to be like what t hey were supposed to before Adam and Eve sinned. the world is such a terrible place now and its depressing. I wish it would change. It would be really easy to fix it in one wish, right?

Wish 2:   The earth wasn't changing hazardously. The sun is getting hotter. The ozone layer is disappearing. land moves and gets washed away. i wish earth was a safe haven.

Wish 3:   People don't judge for the outside appearance. We have SO MANY social problems with appearance. If you aren't as "attractive" as most girls, people may not be as nice to you or talk to you or fall in love with you.... even if they have a beautiful heart. If you have a different ethnicity, you will be seen differently. sometimes a little differently and sometimes a major difference. all of these things frustrate me.

Week 8: Home is Where I Grow

After i was born, i was brought to my mom and dad's trailer in Kings Park (in Peoria). i lived there until i was 3 1/2. Then we moved to 100 Court Street East Peoria Illinois, 61611. I lived there until i was 12. I moved the summer of 6th grade to Washburn. Pretty smooth moves and all big steps of my life. My childhood took place in East Peoria. East Peoria was my home. I had friends come and go. I made tons of memories there. Do i miss it? somewhat. Do i want to go back? no. Now i'm not going to tell my life story but over half of my memories there at that house are bad. which is very unfortunate but its the truth. I moved to Washburn wanting a fresh start and make good memories. i did get to do both of those. but only to come to find out, i wish i hid in my shell. Yes, i do have a lot of good memories in Washburn. but all of them had a bad ending to them. Also unfortunate but true..... Now that i am preparing to apply for colleges, that is all i can think about.  A new beginning. And i will stay in my shell so i don't get hurt. but the again, i always tell myself that. the fun everyone else is having by just being themselves is so tempting so i dive right in to that pool they are having the time of their lives in only to find out that the water holding them was an illusion. i fall flat on my face and i blame myself for it. Ugh. I know im probably depressing you but i thought i should just be straight forward. sooooo yeah. But the question was, what is my home? Well, I think my home changes. as i grow in to an adult, i realize home is not just a house. Home is not just a memory. Home is inside of me. Home is where im supposed to feel safe and secure but i dont feel any of those anywhere except with my dad. he is my protector. so maybe my home is where ever my dad is. or maybe, home is where i grow. if you think about it, it makes sense. but i dont have time to explain soooo yeah. i hope you get what im saying. if not, drop your questions in the comments below. have a good night everyone.

Week 7: Where Have You Been?! Under a Rock?!

The title to this blog is what i got when i asked what "Where's Waldo" is. I have seen him as a tattoo behind someone's ear and my mom said it was Waldo, but that's all i knew about Waldo... his name. I have been looking at these Where's Waldo pictures and they are super difficult. I think Waldo is related to the Cat and The Hat. They both wear red and white stripped apparel. so i think he is hiding in his hat. it is a big hat, tall too. Someone should check under there because i'm sure no one has yet. 

Or maybe he is in Peppermint Forest in the game Candy Land. Him and Mr. Mint could also be related. I bet that's Waldo's hometown....

Week 6: Smallville is the Town of Weird

I know this isn't EXACTLY what the blog assignment was asking for but this is what i thought of when i read it:
As you all should know, i LOVE Smallville. The meteor rocks that came down in the meteor shower that delivered Clark Kent liter the whole town. Little did everyone know, these meteor rocks cause mutations. Well, there was this high school kid named Jeremy Creek (a.k.a The Electric Scarecrow) and he was a loner. He became a very angry teenager that wanted revenge on high school students at Smallville High on their homecoming night. here is how it all happened....

Every year, the football quarterback chooses that years "scarecrow". This is a sick tradition that has been around for decades. The scarecrow (always a boy, usually a freshman) gets taken to a corn field, tied up on a cross in just their boxers, and gets a capital S painted in red on their bare chest. They get strung there until homecoming is over and the football players remember you're there and maybe before that if you can get someone to help or you help yourself. Well, in the year of 1989, Jeremy was chosen as that year's scarecrow. He was strung up in the same field that the little kid Lex Luthor went into when the meteors hit. They actually met in that cornfield right before the meteors hit. Both of them were affected by the impact of the meteor shower in that cornfield. Lex Luthor became bald, was forever healthy, and became obsessed with the meteor shower and everything linked to it. Which if you know how the meteors impact everyone, its a lot to be obsessed over. Poor Jeremy.... he went into a coma for 12 years. And one day, the hospital he was staying at had an energy shortage. all of the lights went out and the electricity was gone. By the time the lights came back on, he was gone. He should have looked like he was in his late 20's, but he still looked the same as when he took his high school picture. But not all of him was the same.... He had the power of electricity. He hunted the football players down one by one and killed them for what they had done. He visited the cornfield he was strung up in as a high school student and found Clark there. yes, Clark was the scarecrow. You may ask how he was forcefully strung up if he has superhuman abilities. Well, Lana, his love, gave her kryptonite necklace to her quarterback boyfriend for good luck for the homecoming game. Lana's boyfriend knew that Clark loved Lana and was jealous because Lana kissed Clark on the cheek. So he chose Clark as the scarecrow. Jeremy didn't help Clark out, saying that it was safer for him in the cornfield and he was going to homecoming because he never made it to his own. Lex Luthor happened to be cruising out of a Lex Corp plant (right by the corn field) when Jeremy was exiting the cornfield. Lex stopped and got out but Jeremy was gone. Lex, thinking he is invincible, walks into the corn field and frees Clark. Clark took off to the homecoming to stop Jeremy. Of course by then, Chloe, Pete and Clark, being the amazing team they are, found out about him and what he was after. So the matter was VERY urgent. Clark caught him in time and stopped him from ruining the homecoming. Jeremy ended up shocking himself, loosing his memory, and Smallville leaves it a mystery what happens to him after that which makes me mad. buuuuuuut yeah, that's the story of Jeremy creek, the electric scarecrow.

Week 5: Miss Hudson Revealed

When Elizabeth Hudson was in high school, she was an ambitious student. She spent hours studying and always had a book in her hand. She was shy but when you got to know her, she was a total dork. She preferred to stay out of drama. She avoided talking to anyone, even sometimes the teacher. She was involved in book clubs and looked for friends based on if they loved the latest book series like Harry Potter so they can have discussions about the whole thing. She was very focused on the future when she can be in college and meet cool people. she liked to be a fly on the wall.  She ate anything she wanted and didn't gain weight.... so much more I cant list.

Week 4: Zombies Save the World by Dr. Widner

To all that are surviving:

As we all know, you only become a zombie if your heart is dark. if you are perfectly half and half (which is very rare), you can transform when you please. but anyone can be affected as your heart changes from more dark or more light. A virus, Seeledarthass, created by a German scientist named Eldwinn Schlovenburgen. It was supposed to make people chose between religion or scientific logic with no in between. But what it actually does is make your spiritual side dominate and determine what your overall being transforms to. There has been no recorded case of ever coming back from the dark side. To survive, you must try and resort to running away rather than killing as a first resort because it might ruin hope for you and you will turn dark. The only cure is to keep yourself away from reality and think of love and happiness. I give my best wishes to everyone and i hope the human race pulls through this struggle. Please respond if you have any questions.

Week 3: Our Paths Are Actually Chosen For Us..... Well Some People (That I know of)

Old man: "Don't go, its your destiny!"  The crazy old man is trying to make me read a book HE WROTE ABOUT ME!
Me:  "You're a creep! You don't even know me!" By this point, I just want to disappear. I want to let my life happen like it is supposed to. Not cheating it with this book!
Old man:  "Would you just let me explain myself?!" The crazy man grabbed my arm and pulled me back!
Me:  "Let me go!" I'm crying. My whole body trembling. MY heart about to paint the walls of this ancient book store.
Old man:  "Come with me"
He took me to a room in the back FULL OF BOOKS LIKE MINE. All of them have different people's names.
Me:  "You have problems!" I shout at him as he disappears behind shelves in this back room.
Old man:  "No, i have a gift!" He shouts as he is walking toward me with a different book.
Me:  "Who is that about?" I'm curious now.
Old man:  "Your grandma"
Me:  "What?!" I snatched it out of his hands and i start reading.
Me:  "How much is this?" I'm desperate now. I will walk out of here naked if it means i can keep this book.
Old man:  "Your time" He looks familiar. I have dreamed of him before.
Me:  "Explain yourself. Why is this book about my life? Is it even all correct? Why me? Why my grandma?"
Old man:  "I will explain it all to you. But first I need to ask you, do you have dreams of the future and they actually come true?"
Me:  "Yyyeeeessss....????" I'm sweating-nervous because I really do.
Old man:  "That is just the beginning...." Now he really looks crazy. His big round eyes, which are the only signs of youth about him besides how excited he is, are bulging toward me behind his bifocals. He reminds me of a kid talking about going to the amusement park.
Me:  "What do you mean, JUST THE BEGINNING?" I'm scared again.
Old man:  "You will end up like me. Dreaming of someone's life. In one night, a year of their life is downloaded into your brain. The urge to tell their story to them and everyone is extremely powerful, but you just can't. And the strange thing is....... I don't even know why yet it hasn't happened before....." He's drifting off into lala land. Oh my God old man speak!
Me:  "What? what is it?" Please don't tell me that... oh no. I know what it is.
Old Man:  "I dreamed you came to my store and i gave you this book and you read it. It is your destiny to read it. I just finished it last night but i must have sleep-walked because it ended up out on the store shelves."
Me:  "So you want me to take this and read it? Why?"
Old man:  "Because it is your destiny."
Me:  "When did you start dreaming about my grandma?"
Old man:  "Your first day of pre-school."  OMG she was supposed to be there that day but she passed away about two weeks before that. Her body just couldn't take it anymore.....
Me:  "This is too much for me. Why do I have the same gift as you?! Will I end up going this crazy? I don't want to screw up anyone's destiny!"
Old man:  "I'm not messing up your destiny or anyone's. I'm keeping myself from going crazy. I'm a hero in a way...."
Me:  "Why? What do you do?"
Old man:  "I try to mess with fate and save people from massive tragedies."
Me:  "Why would you do that?"
Old man:  "I feel guilty for letting those terrible things happen to them. When its criminal cases, i contact the police. I have developed relationships with the police force to listen and act on my tips. They just wish I knew more."
Me:  "So they know about your gift?"
Old man:  "They suspect but they only kid. They just let me peacefully help them with their jobs."
Me:  "Wow.... and I can do the same thing?"
Old man:  "Yes but you better get going. DO NOT READ THESE BOOKS AROUND ANYONE!"
Me:  "Okay. will we ever talk again?"
Old man:  "You'll find out."
I leave the store and contacted Shania. She got impatient with my whole ordeal with the crazy old man and left to meet her boyfriend for lunch. I have to lie to her... She can not know my identity..... I feel like Superman.... I never knew this day would come.

Week 2: The Stereotype of Teenagers

MYTH: Teenagers are irresponsible. 

NO. Don't assume ALL of us are irresponsible. There are adults that are irresponsible as well. I am responsible. But the two things that weaken me are my ADD and my forgetfulness. My forgetfulness makes me somewhat irresponsible but with everything else, I'm good.

MYTH: Being a teenager is ‘just a phase’.

The word teenager wasn't even common until the 1950's. It was used to describe the new generation's youth with more social freedom and adventure. But how these people act are THEIR ACTIONS and NOT JUST THEIR AGE. The teenage years are kind of what forms people. It is a tough time but a lot of adults still act like teenagers. whether it be their mentality, life decisions, or if they try to "stay hip" when they are just... old.

MYTH: Teenagers are selfish.

AGAIN, ITS THE PERSON!!!! It is how they are raised and who they chose to make their idol. 

MYTH: Teenagers are promiscuous.

Yes, sexuality is getting very social and out there. Our generation has loose morals. i do agree with that. it actually makes me sick. sex should be a spiritual thing. but ten again, our generation has tons of ideas of spirituality. All of this makes me angry. UGHH.

THERE ARE SOOO MANY MORE AND THEY ALL GET ME FIRED UP!!!!!!! 

Week 1: School is Basically My Life

I don't know about you guys, but I LOVE SCHOOL! I took a really big class load this year to challenge myself and most of them are on new material. i will be slaving away at homework and studying but i will enjoy it as much as resent it. I will never be able to have it as easy as this. all i have to do is go to school and get good grades!  here in about 2 months, i will have my license and a job and i will be driving my car to and from school everyday. so i really am absorbing having time to do my homework now because i wont have as much with a job. I will probably do homework on my breaks. haha! im excited to learn a lot of new things and becoming one step closer to adulthood. i wish everyone a happy school year!!!!
