Established Holiday

If I had the authority to establish my own holiday it would with out a doubt be Stephen King day. I would choose to commemorate Stephen King because he has been one of the most influential people in my life so far. Stephen King is the type of person who is not afraid to take risks in his writing therefore creating several best sellers in the world. Stephen King Day would be a world wide celebration and all his books that turned into movies would play all day on television , posters of all his books would be every where one turned and families would have a dinner in dedication to ,in my opinion , the best writer the universe has ever created. School would be in session and the whole day students world wide would read Kings books and if they wanted write fan mail to King. The celebration for the worker and student dedicated to King would begin the moment they woke up and end the moment the fell asleep.

"no knowledge is obtained with out risk" Stephen King

I feel that Stephen Kings quote "no knowledge is obtained with out risk" defines me and my way of being. I am the type of person that is sometimes to shy to ask questions so instead I keep my questions to my self and hope for some one else to ask. I am not taking risk for my self in surpassing my comfort zone and just asking , what I realized that holds me back is my fear of being wrong. Even though , all of my teachers have told us there is no right or wrong answer I still will not ask questions that are a crucial part of my learning. Stephen Kings quote could not be more true for me because it is basically my life story , if I do not over come my fear of being wrong in front of my peers and teachers then I will not get the chance of being corrected and learning from my mistakes.  

Idea for the Primitive Age

If i could introduce an idea or an invention to a primitive culture it would be literature. I chose literature because it is an important part in everyone's life whether we like it or not. In the primitive age literature wouldn't be as helpful to them as a spear but it would impact their adaptability and learning skills. Literature would impact their lives by exposing them to a new knowledge that would help them develop communication skills and  cognitive skills. These skills could be crucial impact in future generations, if our primitive ancestors would of been more formally educated, there's no telling where our current generation would have been at.

Change an Issue

At the beginning of the year 2011 I felt I would accomplish everything I set my mind to , but then came the month of February when I became depressed. I felt like I could not do anything with out being sad or remembering my rough past. I have always been a quiet reserved person when it came to things I would feel , my mom would ask me what was  wrong, I would say "nothing" because I didn't want to add on to her worries. I would always avoid conversations with my mother about my feelings because she would know something was wrong with me. Finally  I couldn't hold in my emotions any longer, I needed someone to talk to. My mom would say "Talk to me", I rejected her and replied"Just take me to see a therapist".My mother became extremely offended with my decision and eventually agreed. I found expressing my emotions to a stranger really helped me because she did not know my back round and therefore had no judgement. I finally found enough courage to open up my emotions to my mother, and found that it wasn't very difficult to talk to my mother. I discovered my real fear of talking to her  was her judgement of my feelings. Of course she didnt have any judgement, she was just there to support me and help me  out of my depression.

1Million Dollars

If I had the responsibility to choose where one million dollars went I would choose the international programs to feed and provide for the poor around the world. I would choose international programs because I know that if I donated one million dollars to a foundation that helped people all around the world, that those people would all have an equal share of the million and nobody would be left out. I would of chosen just a single program but people aren't just unfortunate in foreign countries they are also here in america and sometimes all they need is a little hope , something to motivate them to not lose hope in themselves or the world. Equal distribution of the one million dollars would make me feel extraordinary because I know I have helped people internationally not just from one part of the world. Of coarse the first benefactors should be families and then individuals because when it is a family  it pains me more to see a family struggle to feed their children just as much as it pains me to see a struggling individual with no hope.

Back in the day I would be....

I f  I could travel back in time and be a historical figure I would choose to be Albert Einstein , not for his intelligence but for his strive and passion. Albert Einstein had created a paved path for future generations he discovered many things for us that we don't realize how fortunate we are. I would have loved to be Albert Einstein to discover what he really thought about and what his true goals and determination were. Albert Einstein could have been many things insane , destructive , murderous even working for a chaotic person but nobody would know what his true thoughts were. My big wonders are what really went through his mind , what really got him to do what he did. I would also like to know what decisions  or rejections he had to make in order to be one of the smartest people in the world. Wondering is one thing but actually living it is another and I truly am fascinated in what his opinions actually were about people he could have hated them all and only discovered and created in order to minimize his true nature , may be he never wanted his discoveries and theories to be discovered , but we will never know.

What I learned and how I used it

One of the many things I have learned that I found make how I talk better is vocabulary. The vocabulary we have done so far replaces a jar load of words I would typically utilize like use, instead of saying use I use utilize. My new varied vocabulary helps me expand my descriptions and daily lexicon  and in my other classes when I have to do essays I now know how to make my writing sound formal and educated. Also I like to show off the words I know when I talk to adults because that makes me feel as if I set a dictional boundary with words that would only belittle me and make me feel inferior to them. Vocabulary has improved my speech and my writing by eliminating as many " poopy words" as possible creating a feel that I know what I am talking about.
