Blog #3: Most Influential Person

 

I believe that Demi Lovato has made an impact with her outstanding music and talent. She does not just go on stage to sing about a boy or a broken heart. She has accomplished to fight through everything she has been through. She was bullied, grew up with divorced parents, and had eating disorders. After years she decided to go into treatment and become a strong "warrior". She has helped shape thee whole community for the better by sharing her music with the whole world. She is an inspiration for young girls who are going through tough time in their lives. She helps them know there is something better and there always is.She also allows girls to see more beauty in themselves, and to not let the "images" get to them. She connects with her fans and teen girls because she went through the same thing many of "us" are going through or even went through. She does not act like she is any better than any one else. She is a "warrior" showing others her way.

    Blog #2: Do you think you will win with a 1 in 292 million chance?

 There is one thing that has been going crazy on the news this past week. Most of us, when I say this I mean underage kids, are waiting for the wait to be over. Who will win the Power ball ticket? The reason I say this because I myself am not 18 and I cannot get involved in this extravaganza. This article is just another one talking about how much bigger the jackpot will reach Tuesday morning, $1.5 billion. The next drawing will take place on Tuesday. I myself have a few opinions on the whole Power ball idea. I am not one that agrees with gambling, and paying money to "maybe" win some more. Although, I do like the whole high  blood pressure, and intensity it is not my favorite. What I question is how are so many people buying these tickets and spending money for the past week, Yet not one person has one this giant pot of money. They say that the odds in winning is 1 in 292 million people. That is crazy and people still think they will win.

Blog #1 : New Years Resolution

     2015 was a year filled with growth and change, and yes people always say every year something changes. Reflecting over this year, I see that there was so much change for me whether it was good or bad. Now when I say goal I mean going to college where I want and should, gaining friends and more love from family, and creating more self confidence in myself.
      I ended 2015 in a different country with people I never thought I would ever meet. Some people may say that, that does not seem like a fun New Years with friends, but to me it gave me a new outlook on things.We are raised in a society with everything being the same, such as you must spend New Years with people you love and cherish and celebrate, etc. but to be honest doesn't that seem a little boring? The same routine every year? I never thought of it this way until this trip, I was taught that there is so much more to life than what we really see. No one wants to leave their comfort zone, and trust me I do not blame them. This was the first time I have ever left the country and it was by myself and my brother.. no adult. Now you tell me if that is out of my comfort zone. But look where I am today, I feel like a whole new person and with this experience I cannot wait for what 2016 has in store for me. It is cheesy to say, I want to live my life with no regrets and keep an open mind. I am going to test it, and I am going to do it.
     Now when having a goal it is not easy to succeed. One way I want to go on with this goal is to explore more cultures and other parts of the world, whether it is research or flying over there and seeing it myself. There are obstacles in life, yet some people believe it is easy as pie. Going to Doha was not an easy task, there was plenty of convincing to do with my mother. Of course she is a mom and is worried about her two "little" kids going over seas alone. With my mom being more worried about my traveling alone, causes me to have to do more convincing. So I will research and make sure I have every little bit figured out so once I go get the "OK" she will not have to worry about much... I hope. I am excited to see what this upcoming semester and year has in store for me... I mean who knows, I may even decide to go to college in a another country ;)
