LAST BLOG :(

I have a lot of things that I could name that are very important to me; my family, my friends, my jobs, school, having fun and living life to the fullest extent. Everything and everyone in my life is important to me, I truly do appreciate all that I have and I hope that I do not take too much for granted. To be more specific I would say that the top three important things to me are; #1 my relationship with my mom #2 my jobs and #3 having fun. I try not to take life too seriously, we only live once so I like to keep that in mind at all times. I love working so that is something I enjoy, some may think I am crazy for having three jobs but its good to be independent, I can support myself and I like having money to do the things that I want. My relationship with my mom is the only relationship that I am positive will never change, friends can come and go but if anything ever comes in between my mom and me, I will be destroyed. I am so attached to her it is not even funny, I cannot go on trips for more than two days without feeling anxious to go home and be with my mom. I went on vacation to Paris for a week with two of my girlfriends and have never felt so sad to be away from my mom in my life. My friends make fun of me for how attached I am but it’s the most important thing to me that I have. I honestly do not know what I would do without her she’s means everything to me. Generally I believe that being a nice person and friendly to everyone is very important, I try to be smiley and friendly in every situation just because I like when people are friendly to me. I like to be an approachable person or at least I hope I am when it comes to meeting new people, my mom has always taught us manners and to be polite, first impressions are a pretty big deal in my family. I am trying to think of what else is important to me, I guess the obvious, school, being successful when I grow up, having a healthy life, and being able to take care of myself. Everything in life is important but nothing should be taken too seriously. Being comfortable is also a big thing for me, not even in clothes or how I look but being in a group or at a place I always need to be comfortable otherwise I know I won’t be having a good time. Making memories is a huge part of my life; in order to do this I always have my camera with me. All of my friends know that somehow or another they will see pictures from me. Whenever I take a picture and my friends sigh and groan I say “Come on guys, it’s a memory!”

courage

Courage in my eyes is defined as something not everyone has. Not everyone is born with courage. Courage to me is when you do something that you know something bad could happen but you do it for a good reason. This could mean something as simple as sticking up for someone or yourself in a situation. To have courage is to not be afraid, showing people that you’ll do whatever it takes and there is no backing down. Courage does not just have to be in adults, anyone can have courage but I feel that it always comes with experience, for some people there are not many times when you have to be courageous but for some others it is an everyday lifestyle. Courage can be anything from a person chasing down a bank robber, because there is always a chance of getting seriously hurt, or a person who is mentally challenged going down the street and bearing people constantly staring and looking or even calling names. Everyone has different reasons to be courageous and different times when they are, it is a good thing but I think sometimes it gives people a little too much backbone. Soon they start to think that they can do anything when that is not always the case. I do know a lot of courageous people or who are in their own ways but I would have to say that my Uncle Brian is the most courageous person in my life. My Uncle is a fire fighter and he risks his life everyday a work to save other people who he does not even know. That takes a lot a strength and will power to do. Going to work everyday and having in the back of my head that it could be my last is something that I would never want to volunteer myself. He has had a really tough life but being as strong as he is, he can now give back to his community by helping out the citizens when they are in danger. It is funny but he is kind of like a super hero (or at least he thinks that way). His job is a healthy confidence booster and I am very proud of him. Living through the things that he has been through would be extremely difficult to stay positive and be so courageous. He loves what he does and would not change it for the world. I think that that is exactly what courage is, when a person does something out of the bottom of their heart for the better when the outcome could be good or bad. There is always a fifty percent chance of it going smoothly or not so smoothly. After years of experience everyone’s courage probably raises a little bit I would think. I cannot say that I have had a lot of times when I needed to be courageous, but the few times that I did it was a big deal but things worked out.
