105 is the number that comes to mind when I think of all the years I wanna be with you ~Jason Derulo

The English language

Today I learned that the word selfie was added to the dictionary this year. A selfie as in a picture one takes of them self by them self. This was a word that was uncommon and used commonly by teenagers and the younger side of the generation who are obsorbed in the technology advances of the twenty first century. To think that teen age coloquial can be added to a dictionary so easily makes me wonder what the english language will become in the next 50 years with all the shortened words caused by texting to save time. This may lead to less intellectual people and eventually common to use words like LOL in everyday speech. We have already started with some like OMG! What will the world become?

Perspective on love

My perspective on love hasnt changed but it has become more spacific. I still would pick to love because of all the happiness that is caused though it is a lot of work to be in love. I now think that love is something that only can happen to people who are old enough.If you are too young then you will not understand how to classify or define your feelings and will not be able to tell if it is love or your just happy. Another thing i now think is that love takes time in certain situations love at first sight exists but that is extremly rare. Usually love takes time you learn to love individual things about them untill there isnt a thing you dont love about them and you learn to accept there inperfections.love has to be reciprocated or it is not love. Love is felt by teo people and without both feeling that they arein love its not real.many people think that is best not to fall in love though because of the emotions and stress that result or because they are afraid of getting hurt.they think they have to try so hard to impress another person to fall in love that it is not worth it. I have found through going through blogs that a larger number of males than females would rather chose not to love. I find this coincidental considering gender sterio types. But i belive that if you dont give love all you got you will always regret it.

To love or not to love

To love or not to love that is the question. Personally I would chose to love. Love allows you to have someone who you look forward to seeing every day and being and spending time with. Someone who makes you happy smile and laugh when your sad or just anytime that you are together. To love is to feel special because of something that the significant other the love of your life has said or done that makes you feel like you are wanted and loved. You will do anything to be with them and never lose them. If you were to never see them again you would rather die. You do not even think of being with someone else because you love the way that they are with you and you love the little meaningful things that you do together. You want to have a future together and can inagine what it would be like if you were to have a future together. People think that you guys look cute yogether because the way you look at eachother is like they are the most important person in the whole intire world. He treats you like a princess and suprises you. He doesnt have to say I love you all the time but he proves it often even if it is just something small. It doesnt matter if you are with them every second you are thinking of them and wishing that you were with them. You never stop trying to impress them because you do not want to lose them because without you they would not know what to do with there life anymore. They become a part of you that if it dissapeared you would be lost. You never give up on the person no matter what. Just one look at them puts a smile on your face. They are the first thing that you think about every morning when you wake up and the last thing that you think of before you go to bed.you dont care what anyone else says about you and the other person you want to be with them so much that you dont care what negative people have to say. You want to be with them forever and you can imagine what it would be like when your grandparents sitting in rocking chairs. You want to give them little presents even if they are home made because you know that they are going to be special to them. You dont live for the ending but you live for all the memories and time spent with eachother inbetween. There is no way you can describe the person when they look at you besides that they are perfect. Though no one is perfect you think that they are as close to perfect as it gets. Falling in love feels like a roller coster ride and though you will fight with the person you love you know that you will work it out because you are meant to be with eachother.

Reflection

In the United states it is very common for an adult in there 20-30's to have a child if not more then one. Some people decide at a young age that they do not want children. Some people do not want kids because they are selfish and want more time for themselves. Even for the people who can not have children themselves because of health issues there is still the option of adoption. As of 2010 1 in 5 woman are childless. I think that is a huge percentage I would think that it would be a lot lower percentage. Many of this percentage work as teachers or have an occupation dealing with children. Why do these woman work with children and not have any of there own. Is it the fact that they can go home and not have to deal with them and they have time to themselves and dont have to worry what to make them for dinner or what there doing with there friends? I think that it is very untrue that mothers are not as smart as woman without children. Every mother i know is smarter then woman who dont have kids. This article agrivates me because i think it is a womans job to have children and i do not understand how anyone could not have children. Children are a huge part of my life and I am constantly surrounded by them and I still love them. I feel that woman without children are depressed and lonely. There life revolves around them selves they work to get money for them selves. They might have a significant other but just one other person it is easy to get sick of them. Children are funny and make you happy with out even trying. You live for them.

ME: Thank you, what is the most stressful thing about having kids?
MOM: Well obviously the more that you have the more stressful it is but it is good to have more so that they can keep eachother busy.Its stressful because there are a million things that you guys ask me to do and I do not have time to do them all with my job and cleaning and cooking and everything else that I do, and I have little time for my self.

What love truley is

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength,ehile loving someone deeply gives you courage. 

Lao Tzu

What Lao is saying here is when you love someone they make you feel good about your self and give you strength. They give you courage because you can be your self and do anything around them. 

What love is is when they make you  happy when your sad. They help you get through the tough times, they get your mind off them. Just seeing them brightens your whole day. Hearing there voice makes you smile. When they stare at you you cant help but stare back and think of all the amazing things about them. You gaze into there eyes and think how lucky you are to have them and how you dont want to lose them. You think of them when your not with them or cant have them all the time. Sometimes you want them so bad you break down and cry. When your upset all you want is them. You try to impress them and strive to make them want you. You want them to like you for you. There your everything without them you would be lost. They make you a better person. They make you feel good about your self. They compliment you and make you feel good about your self. You would do anything for them and wouldnt give them up for anything. 

Impacts from the Daily Exposures.

The daily exposures have greatly impacted me. They have taught me to wonder what a writer or photographer was thinking while writing or taking the piece of work. The daily exposures have taught me as a writer to look from the audiences perspective. The exposures have made me determine who my audience is, what my audience thinks, how old my audience is, and more before I start writing.
   The most important factor I have learned is that every piece of photography or any lyric has a purpose. As the photographer or writer you have to figure out what the purpose is , and what your tying to convince your reader of. The creater should know why your audience will be looking at your work.
     Alfred Eisenstaedt's VJ Day photograph of a sailor kissing a nurse at the conclusion of the war in times square is a very famous photograph. This photograph is so famous because Eisenstaedt knew that his audiece were romantics and sailors who knew or longed for the feeling of the kiss and that was a very large audience to have.
   Toby Keiths song courtesy of the Red White an Blue has the wide audience of Americans.Keith lists many historical events and artifacts of the United States.Such as the statue of liberty and the liberty bell.
      Bob Dylan was a very famous folk song writer of the mid 20th century. Dylan was very influential and had a huge impact on the music industry as a whole.When Dylan switched from his usual folk music at the the 1965 Newport Folk Festival to electric Dylan was booed off the stage. Dylan did not know his audience of this new type of music and he was crushed.

Knowing your audience is crucial to succeeding as a writer or photographer. Knowing your audience helps to determine what factors to add to a piece of work.

Flifferhuzza

She told me she made the greatest discovery imaginable. I couldnt contain my excitement what was it? I couldnt wait to see it. She was jumping up and down and squealing with excitement. She leads me to her kitchen table where i see this ...thing. What was this thing i ha never seen anything like it before. It was like slime but it was a weird color a shade i had never seen a blueish brown. It looked like playdoh but when i touched it it was liquid. What is this i asked her. I call it Flifferhuzza. Well that is a splended name i say and who knows about this? Just you and me. flifferhuzza is our secret. 

For the A

Student gets back an assignment that she studied for four hours for and got a 54.
After class the teacher calls the student to come talk to her

Teacher: Mary what happened on this test? you always get at least an A.
Student: I am not quite sure I studied a ton and I thought I understood all the concepts on the test.
Teacher: Do you want me to go over with you what went wrong after school?
Student: That sounds great would I be able to retake the test?
Teacher: I do not allow students to retake tests.
Mary: I am sure that I would do a lot better if I was able to go over what I did wrong and then take it again.
Teacher: I will allow it this one time because I know that you studied and you always try your hardest.
Student: Thank you so much.

This would be a difficult conversation to have because you are sad from disappointment and you do not want to argue with the teacher but you do want a higher grade.

Quotes

What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of distriction. The promise that life can go on again, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again.

Teens can add to the world

Teens can add to this world. Teens can make a difference. How you ask, the answers simple. Teens are the future generation. Each generation becomes more knowledgeable then the last generation because of the advance in technology. Thinking back to Ben Franklin yes he was a genius but he discovered and invented things that were not known of at the time and we now use every day. The inventions have drastically changed since he lived in the 1900s. Now Alexander Gram Bell invented the telephone in the year 1876. This telephone was a cup attached to a wire that sound could be heard from the other end. Today almost every american has a cell phone. A telephone that can be carried around and can be used to hear the voice of some one thousands of miles away. Teens can make a difference one step at a time, and make the world a better place. A small thing can make a difference. People are like chain reactions if one person wears something another likes they will want a similar one. The same thing can work for projects. If one teen wants to help out those of an elderly shelter another might like the idea and want to do the same. Young people have creative minds and bright ideas the adults build off off because with everything they have learned they think more structured and logically then spontaneously.

Looking for a friend

A friend is someone like you. One who is honest and kind, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring. A friend is responcible for what they say and do. Respects themselves and others.The height of my friend does not matter nor there appearance. But a friend who is true and will like me for me. Who helps others will never yell at me makes me laugh and happy when I am sad.

Objects point of view

Why must these people look upon me to see there ugly selves? You are still the same person as you were last night when you looked upon me, not much has changed. Your just as ugly as yesterday.Yes your hair is styled differently And yes your make up is gone. Let me tell you man to mirror. You will never change your appearance enough to be attractive. You will always be you. So why must you look upon me for change when change is yet to come? If there comes a day where you have changed I shall inform you.

What makes me enthusiastic about learning?

The main thing that makes me enthusiastic about learning is thinking what academic steps I need to take to obtain an occupation that will financially support me. I try my hardest to get good grades so that I can get into a good college. The qualities that are always present when I learn are drive, determination and effort. These qualities are very important because determination is key to success. I enjoy learning about topics that interest me. Things that I am forced to learn that are not about topics I am interested in I relate back to topics I am interested in.

Experience with courage

One experience that I had with courage was when I spoke in front of a large crowd. There were about one hundred or more adults of whom were Girl  Scout leaders or had some how participated in helping the Girl Scout community. Many of the adults were getting awards for being in Girl Scouts for a significant number of years. One lady had been in Girl Scouts for 75 years. When I learned this after we had a chat she became my idol. I want to be involved in Girl Scouts as long as she has been. I wrote her a letter explaining what an inspiration she was to me and how I was thankful for everything that she did for the community. At the presentation of the awards I read a poem to the adults about what characteristics a true Girl Scout has and there role in the community. i was very nervous that I would mess up. In the end I read the poem fluently and got many complements from people and the ceremony.
