Walt Disney World

During last winter in February my family and I went to Walt Disney world. We never went to Disney before so this would be the first time we have ever gone. Also it in order to get there we flew, and we also never flew before. Well our parents did but my brother and sister, and I have not. Since then i cannot wait to go back to Disney! When we were about to depart buffalo all i was trying to do was imagine how cool Disney would be and i had no idea what to aspect. At first i thought Disney was just for little kids but really it’s for every age! When we arrived at Orlando everyone just looked so happy and that’s maybe because there was no snow and it’s just a happy place to go too. At Disney there are four parks you can attend too which are Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood studios, Disney's Animal Kingdom. Out of all of these my favorite would have to be the Magic kingdom. At magic kingdom you see Main Street USA which consists of the big castle at the end of street. Sometimes at Disney we would have to pinch ourselves to see if we are really at Disney world. At Magic Kingdom you get to meet and greet the fairies, Dream along with mickey, and best of all celebrate a Dream come true parade. At magic kingdom you can also participate in other events, and fun rides! At the other three parks you can participate in just as much! With all the fun rides, hanging out with Disney characters, Laughing and smiling with your family members, and overall just having a blast! If I could go on any vacation right now, I would definitely head right back to Walt Disney and start that fun all over again!

Lauraaaaa!

Friendship isn't about whom you have known the longest... It's about who came, and never left your side... – unknown. This quote describes a lot of things about my best friend Laura. Laura and me are definitely partners in crime and get in trouble for a lot of things. For instance, when we went to Florida this past summer we came back with corn rolls in our hair. Right when we got to the security check they were starring us down and we knew right away they had a problem with us. For some reason they probably thought we would be two great people to do their “daily random search” on two random people. They maybe liked this idea but we didn’t. When they told us to step aside and go in a little room to get searched head to toe did not sound too great! The lady had this beeper and ran it up and down our bodies. It didn’t beep at all for both of us so she finally let us out, and at that point we thought we were safe just until I got called over and every single thing of mine was getting searched. This man thought it was funny to search every single thing of mine in my carry-on bag. I kind of felt like a little kid because all I wanted was my stuff instead of him searching everything in public. But anyways we made it past that and flew home safe to buffalo. Another thing me and Laura did was recently, we went to a restaurant and had a little bit too much fun. Even though we were having fun I’m sure our waitress was not. So it’s a good thing we didn’t spend too much time there and left after we completed our meals. Overall, Laura and I always have so much fun no matter what we are doing.

Christmas

To me the best time of the year is definitely Christmas! Christmas is the best time because everyone around you is usually happy and passing around the holiday cheer. Every year around Christmas i usually see a lot of my family which i love because i never really see any of them. Since me, my sister, jaimie, and Jessica all got jobs we barely ever see each other anymore. Even though we all have cars and licenses we still don’t see each other. The sad part about this is when we were little we always did everything together. To get my cousins to sleep over we would make Jessica and Jaimie fall asleep on the top bunk of our bunk bed so their parents couldn’t reach them in order to take them home. The outcome usually was their dad coming in and picking them up and further more taking them to their car. When that would happen we were very miserable and then always bothered our parents, asking why they could never sleep over. It was very disappointing because we couldn’t play dolls all night. So Christmas every year is so much fun because we get to spend quality time with each other. Not do I only see my wonderful cousins but I also see my uncle and grandma too. Even though they live right next door it’s still very hard to go over there because were always working or I’m at school. During Christmas Eve we all go over to my grandma’s house and open up our presents from her. When we were little she would get us all expensive Santa babies and we absolutely loved them so much! Every Christmas Eve we couldn’t wait to open them. This Christmas eve we are still very excited to see what our lovely grandma has in store for us J

poem

 Dream Varitions

BY: Langston Hughes

To fling my arms wide

In some place of the sun,

To whirl and to dance

Till the white day is done.

Then rest at cool evening

Beneath a tall tree

While night comes on gently,

    Dark like me--

That is my dream!

To fling my arms wide

In the face of the sun,

Dance!  Whirl!  Whirl!

Till the quick day is done.

Rest at pale evening . . .

A tall, slim tree . . .

Night coming tenderly

    Black like me.

This poem caught my eye because I thought it was very interesting. Especially since I’m a big dreamer I thought this one fit me well. I believe if you can dream it, you can do it. This poem also makes me think of somewhere warm and cozy, just like a day in paradise. When I think about this poem it makes me think of my family and me when we went to Florida. The sun is beating down, warm hearts everywhere, and little kids dancing around playing in the sand, overall a very beautiful day. What I like about this poem is the way Langston Hughes worded it and how much it makes me want to be in a warm place with the sun shining down. Another thing I like about this poem is how Langston labels it and basically the whole poem I like. To me dreaming is something everyone does, and we also make a ton of wishes we all wish would come true. When he was writing this maybe he was somewhere nice or even somewhere cold dreaming of being in a warm place dancing. This poem also describes a whole entire day with the sun shining at first then the sun going down. Also to me this poem makes me think of being happy and all the good stuff that comes along with being happy. In conclusion this poem was my favorite.

beauty

What is beauty? According to dictionary.com there are a lot of different things it means. One meaning that most people think beauty is would be a beautiful person. There are many different views on this topic and mine is probably different then everyone else’s.  Beauty to me is having that magical glow in and out. All because she has a pretty face doesn’t mean she has beauty. Beauty is also having a great personality to go along with your beautiful qualities. Sometimes girls who think there extremely gorgeous have an attitude that’s so rude and intimating to their peers which they should really be extremely nice to everyone even if they are really pretty. Also a lot of people think skinny girls are all about being the only girls that are gorgeous. That’s not true, but if one person thinks that usually about a hundred more people will think that too. According to ezinearticles.com they agree with what I’m trying to say. They wrote the inner attributes of a person must be of high quality for the person to be considered truly beautiful. The person's ability to warm another’s heart, place a smile on someone's face definitely shows the characteristics of one who has inner beauty. The criteria therefore to judge a person's inner beauty is his or her level of sensitivity, compassion, tenderness, intelligence and creativity. These qualities of inner beauty are indeed powerful for they can exceed the person's outer features. I totally agree with this site. In order for someone to be beautiful they have to have a warm heart to go along with all these beautiful traits because when someone doesn’t it just doesn’t make them look good. Beauty is just all around having everything that goes along with it like a nice attitude, friendly, outgoing.

What have you learned about yourself as a writer since you've been in this course? Describe your writing process. What do you like to write about? What do you not like to write about? What impact, if any has this class had on your writing? Since being in online publishing I’m sure I have grown as a writer. In fact, every week we do three blogs a week and on top of that two articles. As a matter of fact, I know I have progressed in my writing. My writing progress is getting better because after I write something my editor helps make my writing sound better and from writing so much, you can tell when you improve. In this course some things I love to write about are my life, my family, friends, dancing with the stars, the bachelor, basically things going on in life as it is right now. Some other things I love to write about are looking at quotes and sayings and then telling how they relate to your life. Some things I do not like to write about are other people in this class or looking at a picture and making up a story that is going on in it. I do not like to do either because I’d rather write about something I’m confident in and that it makes sense. Yes, this class probably has an impact on everyone’s writing because the only thing we do is write. Basically if your writing hasn’t improved you’re kind of crazy or maybe you are just already a good writer. Every day I look forward going to this class because it’s relaxing and you get to listen to music while you’re doing your work. To me if I could, I would love to take this class throughout the whole year.

My neighbor

A few years ago, my neighbor came over to me and said “What is really going on” and I was so shocked I didn’t even know what to say back. My neighbor who came up to me was an old lady who was about eighty years old. She never confronted me before like this, so I had no idea what was going on or running through her head. Last I knew she loved me and wanted me to be her neighbor for the rest of her life on earth. But after I heard that I looked at her and said “what do you mean?” she replied by saying “I can hear you screaming at people and going insane to your children”. In fact she just kept going on and on and I never thought she was going to stop talking. I never yell or anything so I was very shocked and thought she needed some new medication from the doctor. Right then and there I asked her if she needed anything or to go see a doctor. The only thing she did was fall over and start screaming. I called the ambulance and they came and got her immediately. She then stayed in the hospital for about two weeks. In fact she had a heart problem and needed new medication for her illness that was getting to her head. The hospital and her family couldn’t thank me enough for what I did. That day I saved my eighty year old neighbors life and couldn’t be happier.

Favorite childhood game

When I was little I played and made up so many games. Since I was lucky enough to have a stay at home mom, me, my brother and sister got to play with other kids that my mom got to baby sit. Throughout these long, fun, days, we made up so many games and had such a good, fun childhood. One game in particular I use to love to play was kickball. At family parties all of us would get together and play kickball. During the game of kickball we would have two teams with about eight people on each team, even our parents would join in and all of us would have such a blast! If I could go back in time I would love to replay all the fun moments in my childhood.  But most of all play kickball with my cousins, and just about everyone. Sometimes when we lost we would want to replay the game because we didn’t like losing. Whoever the losing team was, always wanted a rematch because they couldn’t accept the fact that they lost. Whenever my whole family came over, I always got excited about playing kickball later and playing it with the whole family. After kickball games we would also go swimming in our pool or go in the house and have dinner, something to drink. Sometimes my cousins and I would go play dolls and pretend we were moms to our dolls. I had a very fun childhood and would go back in time if we had the choice too!

Favorite tv show

During my childhood I had a lot of favorite television shows. My favorite TV show would have to be full house.  Every day after school I would grab a bowl of cereal and go sit on the couch and watch full house. To me that had to be the best part of my day! For some reason I always had to watch full house, and I’m pretty sure I had to see all the episodes, too. My favorite movie star in this show would have to be little Michelle. Michelle was played by both Mary- Kate and Ashley Olsen. Michelle was always the cutest thing ever and was practically the biggest part of the show because everyone loved Michelle. Especially with her “You go dude” she brought everyone into smiles and laughs. Not only did Michelle play a big part but so did her sisters. DJ who was played by Candace Cameron the oldest of all the children had very good grades and was a very smart/ good girl. The middle aged child Stephanie who was played by Jodie Sweetin makes for a funny character that always makes everyone laugh and stay on their toes. Throughout the shows something would always happen, like an incident and at the end everyone will be okay and there will always be some sort of good ending. Full house never failed me to not watch it. I just loved this show and it was always fun to watch. I could watch Full house about twenty times a day, I loved it so much.

What is Art? Many people will probably have many different opinions on this topic. Some people think its expressing different things and others might think its drawing or working hard on something you created. But to me art is making any sort of drawing and turning it into a master piece. It doesn’t even have to be turned into one. Every little piece of anything you make, draw, create is Art! Art has to be one of my favorite subjects to ever take at school. It’s so peaceful and learning on how to become an artist makes it so much better. Anything I ever did or created my mom has kept. Along with my brother and sister, she has kept every single artwork we have brong home. Art must be something very important to make because my mom acts like the world will end if she doesn’t get an artwork we make her. At high school the only two art classes I took were studio in art, and drawing and painting. Now that I’m thinking about it; I wish I would have taken more classes with art because it’s definitely the best part of the day.  Sitting there working on a piece of art, that you will someday turn into a masterpiece, is the best feeling ever. After I create any drawing I feel really proud to look at it, and say wow I did that. Especially learning from our art teachers here at school, or even our classmates helping each other out. If I could I would have took more art classes. So if you’re looking for classes to take, I encourage you to take more art classes! The one you should really take is drawing and painting in which you create so many exciting things and you even get to draw an animal of your choice. Art is amazing!

During any regular day, my daily routine is to get up at six o clock, brush my teeth, take a shower and head out on my bike.  I get dressed in my red suit that makes it easier to ride my bike in. After my daily bike ride I come back to my house around nine o clock and take another shower then get ready for work. I work at Macy’s. I am the big boss of the store. During my bike ride I take out all my anger. I think about all the bad things going on in my life and trying to turn them into good things.  Most of the time I bring my iPod touch so I can crank up the music and that also helps me let out my anger. Sometimes when I’m really mad and riding my bike I’ll take a longer route around my neighborhood. My neighborhood consists of a lot of traffic and one huge bridge. This bridge is everyone’s favorite to ride their bike, walk on, or even run because of all the entertainment around it. During the winter it gets crazy because the bridge is full of snow and the sidewalks are all full of snow, and slush. My favorite time to ride my bike is in the morning because it’s so clam, and quiet until around eight o clock and then the traffic starts up again. Sometimes when I cross over the bridge I see many parents with their kids walking and talking. I also sometime see many adults like me riding their bike or running with their dogs of all sorts. The best part of my day has to be riding my bike in the morning which starts my day off right! The second best thing has to be going to work happy because of the life I live.

When asked to choose a picture from this website, i had no doubt in my mind but to pick this picture. Since i love animals, i knew i needed to pick a picture with some sort of animal in it. Since sea lions have to be the cutest things ever, i knew i wanted to write about this picture. Last year at the fair i got to see the Sea lion show. I think this was their second time back at the Erie county fair and i seriously love this show so much. I think it’s so cool on how sea lions can act the way they do and perform tricks in front of adults and children. Some of the tricks they do amaze me. If you really think about it, it’s so cool on how animals can interact with humans like their best friends with each other. Sea lions to me are so cute and even though their slimy I think I would give them a hug. Even though they are only an animal I would like to have one live with me. I think that would be the greatest thing to ever happen on this earth. Especially when they give high fives, roll on their stomachs, clap for each other, etc. What attracted me to this picture was the way sea lions interact in real life and on how cute they are even in real life. When looking at this picture my feelings are good because I absolutely love sea lions and how cute they can be to their trainer or whoever works with them. Sea lions have to be the cutest animal to ever be created on this entire planet. The way their so friendly with people and they even take pictures with people. To me this picture is the cutest thing ever.
