What if...? The world was flat. We had to get mail from the post office ourselves. We didn't have cars. We built cities underground. The earth had gravity like the moon. Everything was made up of multiple islands. The sky was a different color. You could walk on clouds. People lived forever. No one starting today could have children. Everyone had an equal chance. We only spoke one language. You had to build everything by hand. Everyone got along with everyone. The ocean is made out of drinkable water. We could live under the sea. If we looked into the water we could see all the way to to bottom.
What if.. we build cities under ground? Well that would be quite amazing, to have a full blown running city right under out feet. There would of course be some draw back and some positive things. As humans we really depend on light so there would have to be a system in place that allowed us to always have some soft of light. It could be an electrical thing or maybe we could build reflective skylights with glass around them. Another drawback would be building the city its self. You would have to dig a hole big enough to fit at least 250,000 people. Also you would need the correct building materials and resources to get everything down into the hole. You would need to hire people to self maintain the underground city as well. BUT some positive things about it would be we could potentially double the worlds population. Thousands of children are being born everyday, outnumbering the number of deaths occurring each day. This continuously poses a threat to our indulgent life styles. So if we had under ground cities this would eliminate that threat for at least 200 years if not more. The space under neath us is so vast and un used, it has the potential for so much. This operation would be very costly and would require a lot of time and work to complete it, but once it was complete you can do so much with it. The city would run like another with stores, roads and buildings. There would need to have a transport system in place for the goods to be sent to and from the city. Eventually we could have roads and trains connecting multiple cities together and it would create a grid like structure. Lets say for example they biult one under New york, it would consist of the same geographical space as new york but could be designed quite differently than the upper New york.
What if... no one starting today could have children? Some sort of phenomonenom would have to occur in the air or something would need to happen to cause the prevention of having children to everyone. Let's just say something from space travelled through our atmosphere and caused women to stop getting pregnant. This would of cours be quite a horrible thing. How would human life go on without child birth exsisting? I think at fisrt people would begin to panic. There would be caos around the world and people would be looking for answers that they would never recive. Everyone else who is currently pregnent would start to become idolized. I'm sure there would be great percaushions as to nmake sure the baby was as healthy as could be. Everyone one would come together to insure those who wern't born yet would have the best possible chance to be born. Next people would really stop having a social life if they had children. All of their time would be devoted to ensuring there child was safe at any cost. The government would put rules into effect that prevented children under the age of 18 to be home schooled and really they wouldn't be able to leave their home. Once they reached the age of 18 they would be free to do whatb they want but under the condition that they stay as sfae as possible.
By now lets say its been around 30 years. The youngest person alive would be 30 years old. The population has nearly been cut in half from the extension of child birth. Those still alive were at to opposite ends of the spectrum. They either were extremely careful with everything they did, or they lived on the wild side. As the years go by people start to care less and less about rules and the government. They start to do whatever they want because their lives will end anyways.
What if.. the stuff under your nails was blue? Well if the "stuff" under my nails were blue that would imply that my blood would have a blue tint to it. Assuming that my blood is blue I will also assume that my skin has a bit different color to it. Rather than being a soft pink and tan color it would be a soft blue tan color. Since currently I am a hot blooded mammal with red blood, I will also assume that now that my blood is blue I am a clod blooded mammal. Earth would have an average temperature of 90 degrees instead of 70 degrees on a warm day. Our race of blue human would crave the sunlight and would soak it up every chance we got. Every building would have a completely see through roof so that way we would always be able to touch the sun light. In our new blue blooded society we would also tend to build our structures higher to be closer to the sun.

Fear
1-29-14
Most people think of fear as only a negative thing. You could be afraid of spiders, small spaces or even dying. The term is never thought of in a positive way. Well I believe fear can be both positive and negative, that all depends on how you view things. For example I am very fearful of speaking in public, I always have been. It makes me extremely nervous, uncomfortable and very scared. But when I think on the positive side of fear it leads me to thinking about motivation. When I have fear it drives me to conquer that fear. With every moment I become more fearful of something, I start to want to become fearful of that same thing. The fear motivates me to over come any obstacle in my way. I was afraid of the dark for quite awhile, till I was almost 14. Being in a room that I couldn't see anything in really just completely scared me. I got to the point where I could really sleep without some sort of light in my room. But one day I thought to myself I absolutely HATE being afraid or fearful of things in my life. So now when ever I start to become scared of something I just think to myself how can I overcome this obstacle and stop being afraid. If you had no fear in your life what would even be the point? Fear drives so many great people to overcome anything they set there mind to. Someone can be deathly fearful of heights, but they still get in airplanes and skydive down to the ground. Without fear the would would be quite a boring place. People would never take risks, or they might always take risks which would eventually become the norm for society. Fear drives people into things that they wouldn't do normally, unless they weren't afraid in the first place.
OBSTACLES
There have been multiple obstacles in my life and my families. But that's what brings your family closer. You fave the obstacles together and grow together from it. My family have never had it easy by any means, but that doesn't mean you need to look at the dark side of things. We help each other past that dark side to look at the positive outcomes. My mother passed away almost 3 years ago in about a month form now. Obviously it was hard getting through her passing. Everyone was depressed, we lost out home and cars and had to move back in with my grandparents. A new high school, new friends to make, new house to live in. It was all a very sudden change and a big obstacle to over come. With my family along the way to help each other we got through it though. The positive thing to take out of this situation would be now my sister, daad and I are closer than ever. Not a day goes by that we don't talk and communicate with each other.
Every family has their own types of obstacles in their homes. It could be something major like loosing a family member, or it could be small like choosing who gets what car when they turn 16. Whatever the case it's always important for me to remember that fact. Your never alone in your problems. Chances are there is someone out there, probably close to you, thats going through some of the same types of problems and obstacles. I believe it's very hard to go through any type of obstacle alone, and you don't ever have to.
HIGH SCHOOL
High school for me was not that long ago. I graduated last year and now i'm only in my second semester of college. Alopt has chnaged in those 4 years of school. I lost and gained so many friends. I have breakups and new beginging in relationships. My family was torn apart then reunited agian. I will always cherish my high school years. There is so much i learned about my life and who I wanted to become in high school. My teachers also helped me through out the processes of becoming a freshman into a senior.
When I first entered high school as a freshman i was 5'1 and was completely innocent to the world. I didn't realize that I actually had to start doing my work in class or else I would fail. High school wasn't some thing I could just blow off like in grade and middle school. My transition form freshman to senior was huge. I grew about 7 inches, changed my life and clothes style about 10 times and had a whole new out look on life. I felt like I was ontop of the worl as a senior and that I had my life figured out. Now that im a freshman again only in college I feel as if i've slumped down again into immaturity and unknowings. I think to myself a lot that when ever im a senior in college I wonder if I will feel the same as I did in high school. Will I feel lost or at the top of my game, ready for the world? It's definitely a waiting game to see how my life will play out. I hope that I don't make the same mistakes again and I hope I have enough experience already in my life to deal with what ever is thrown at me next. It is always a comforting though though that I know I will always have my best friend next to me to help me through anything that's thrown at me. Even though my sister isn't in college with me i know we have similar view points on the topic and that we both want whats best for each other. I hope the the rest of my college career is like my high school and isn't l/like my high school. I hope it is because i enjoyed it, but I hope it's not because I hated the drama.

Escape from death
1-27-14
Being nine years old entails alot of things. Your so young and innocent to the world anbd don't know about life at all and how easily is can be taken away from you. Well one summer my family and I went on a little vacation. We went to Elephant rock park, camping for the weekend and then we went to this little place called Johnston shedends. It was a place you could go to drink, swim, party and have a good time. WELL little did my nine year old self know I would have to scariest moment of my life there.
My brother and I were the first two to reach the water after raceing out of the car. He is 15 at the time of this trip. Of course we are tring to beat eachother to bthe water and see who can swim to the other side the fastset. Little did we know that this particular water park had about 15-20 small waterfalls all through out it. Now if your an adult at this park it can be extreamly fun. The water falls are not that deep at all and when you go down them its like a slide. My brother was the first to jump in and he did fine. I just watched him go down about 3 of the falls in about ten seconds and he signaled me to jump on in, so i did without thinking at all that I can't swim very well, at all.... I hit the first waterfall and go down only about 5 feet, but that five feet took me under for abo;ut 2o seconds, I was unable to get up and out of the water to catch my breath because the currenbt was so strong. The momenbt right as I reached the surface of the water to enhale a huge breath I went straight down another water fall. By this time I have been under for who knows how long. I think I hot my nose on a rock, all I know is it really hurt and the only thing I was doing was trying to hold it under the water to stop the pain.
The next thing I know I'm being pulled off onto the shore line by a man whom I have never seen before. He looks to be my dads age with his wife, im assuming, standing right next to him. I thank the man over and over for helping me out of the water and he is extremely thankful that I'm just ok.

Working Upfront
1-27-14
I work at a vet hospital in nixa missouri, and while working there we encounter a lot of diffrent people all around the area. My job there is to clean kennels, walk dogs, clean the whole hospital AND sometimes I work upfront with the public. Well on one particular afternoon a woman came in with a cat. Now this was no ordinary woman and this was no ordinary cat. Both matched eachother completley. The gal looked to be in her forties or fithties and the cat was around 16 years old. The woman, lets call her the crazy cat lady, decided she needed to make an appointment for her cat because the poor animal had not eaten for a couple days. She came in around 4:30 that afternoon, mind you we close at 6 and stop seeing people at 5. Anyways so the woman comes in, looking extreamly distrought caring her cat which is growling and hissing the entire time i'm checking her in. I lead her back into the room and let her know the doctor will be with her shrotley.
By now this woman has been in the exam room for about 10 minutes now with the vet. Dr.MCclure has run some blood tests on the cat and found out it has pancreatic cancer. Now this can sometimes be cured but most of the time its very unlikely, especially in an older animal. Dr.McClure proceeds into the exam room to inform the crazy cat woman of her kitty's new illness. As the doctor says, "I'm sorry crazy cat lady but your cat has pancreatic cancer" the woman proceeds with her screaming and sobbing comment. "OH NOOOO! My cat has diabetes... how could this be! She's going to die of it. I'm such a horrible pet owner." The cat lady continues on this rat for about a minute until the doctor interrupts and and says "No mam you cat has pancreatic cancer, NOT diabetes. She will be fine for now but we need to send you home with some medicine. I'm sorry if my statement was unclear".

Jung Typology
1-26-14
First off I would like to state that I believe these tests are absolutely garbage and that they don't work at all. It is based on what most everyone has in common with each other, this way no matter what you get it will always represent something about you. It might be dead on or it might be a bit far fetched BUT you can typically relate to any answer.
That being said my type was ENFJ. I'm Extravert, iNtuitive, have Feelings and I am a bit judging. I personally agree with everything this "test" has said about me. My personality category believes in their dreams, they are global learners and they see the big picture. I most definitely do all of those things. My top career choices are counseling, education, management and politics. All could suit me for a possible career. The person siting next to me could have a different personality type but we probably have some common career options that we can both relate to.
I don't think this text will help my writing skills improve. If I had an open mind about the test, I am sure it would bring me satisfaction knowing that I now know so much more about my own personality. But alas I do not have an open mind with this test so it brings me no satisfaction.

Linkin log
01-24-14
Well seeing a linkin log makes me think of children. So assuming children play with linkin logs I will also assume that their is a mother or father who has children that gos to OTC and somehow the linkin log was on them. They must have droped it out of their purse or backpack while going to class. Their life might be so busy that they didn't know their child/children put a log on their person. I wonder what their life is at home with their children. Do they get enough sleep? Do they have time to work out or go on dates? Are they going to college at an older age to further support their children or maybe they had children young and are being pressured to go to school by their parents or garidans. Do they dread going to school because they miss their children or do they crave the chance at escape from them.? There are so many things this person who lost the linkin log could be. Maybe they themselves where playing with the linkin log and forgot to put one of them away. They might be a building expert and have over 1000 of them at their home. The person could be a major in architecture and have them so they could create a model of a new home they were thinking about drawing. They may have lost that piece that was essential to the project and now they won't be able to complete it. HOPEFULLY that's no the case. If they have linkin log pieces I wonder if they may have other fun building materials to play with like legos or train set still needing to be put together. There home might be filled with likin log pieces that have accidentally fallen on the floor on down some mysterious crack. You only find out where it is a month later when your cleaning behind the couch or sweeping under the table in the kitchen. All my assumptions may be wrong though. The likin log could belong to any person who has been at OTC today.
