My place
The place I would rather be would some where very secluded, where there wasn't a home in sight for miles and miles. Once you would turn onto my driveway it would be lined with trees and last for at least a couple miles. In the summer and spring the trees would light up my driveway in all different shades of green and brown, sometimes even with flowers budding at the tips of stems that would fall and twirl off when a strong gust of wind hit them. In the fall red, orange, and yellow leaves would line the driveway and if you looked behind you while your were driving you could see all the leaves brush up behind your car and make a beautiful scene, just for a couple of seconds.
As you approach the very end of my driveway you will start to see a building in the distance. It's made out of wood and stained concert. The front yard is nicely trimmed and there is a garden right outside the front door full of flowers. The red, purple, and blue hues stand out the most to your eye until you walk closer to the garden and begin to notice the smaller pink flowers just now starting to grow. As the sun hits them they illuminate and you really start to see how magically beautiful they are. As you walk up the steps you notice the faint smell of something sweet in the air but you can't really put your finger on exactly what your smelling. It could be that the wind was just right and brought the flowers sent right up to you, or that maybe there's something sweet and tasty waiting for you inside. Whatever the case may be, that wonderful sent that has consumed your nose makes you feel right at home, like your meant to be there.
The front door is really something of a masterpiece. It's over ten feet high and made entirely out of hand crafted wood with a rather large stained glass piece in the middle. Once inside the home you start to get the sense of relaxation. Almost the entire floor plan is an open one except for the bedrooms and bathrooms. Other than that every other room in connected with a half or portion of a wall. The concert under your feet is stained with a multiple arrangement of colors ranging from dark brown to an orange tint. Everything in the home has a dark color to it that relates to either a dark brown or an orange hue. Whether it's the kitchen granite tops or the leather couches in the living room, the more you look at everything the more you want to stay here forever and just relax.
Out of the corner of your eye you start to notice the sun is beginning its decent to the west. The window you can see it through is quite big and has a space to slay down next to it if you choose. As you start to make your way over to the beaming light you really start to take in the surrounding of the entirety of the home. The way the sun is shinning everything make the home that much more amazing. Everything the sun hits shines and look almost as if it could sparkle. You finally reach the window and take a seat next to it. Everything your feeling right now is just bubbling outside of your being, no person or thing could take this moment away from you right now. Everything in the world seams right.
I would rather be here, in my worry, stress free made up home. I would rather be curled next to its fire after a long day and just watch the flames dance around the wood. Now and then little sparks would flicker off the fire and land just in front of you, and you could see the ember slowly burn out then watch as a new one appears. Everything about this home is inviting and comfortable. You aren't afraid to relax and let your mind run wild in this majestic place. Every where you turn the only things that you can see are comforting and they make you feel at home. Even in the kitchen there is always some hot chocolate ready, waiting for you. Once you take that first sip your whole body melts to the ground. The combination of the sweet taste and smell of the chocolate mixed with the gooey texture of the marshmallows on top takes you to another world. The only thing that you can focus on is how wonderfully delicious this is and how you never want it to end.

Mistakes
Throughout life everyone makes mistakes, no matter how experienced you are in something you’re still making error in your life. Paulo Coelho states this perfectly, “When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.” I believe with all my heart that mistakes make you the person you are today; even if they are someone else’s mistakes they can still effect you. Through your mistakes, others mistakes and how you react to them molds your being into you.
I’m a full time college student who works a part time job. I live in a stable home with my family and we get by just fine. Some days are better than others but that’s just like any other family. I have a good outlook on life and I’m never really in a bad mood. This is what my life is like right now, but three years ago everything was different. My view on life when I was 15 was one of someone who didn't care about much but themselves. Everything I did was for me and me only. I would manipulate people and lie to them to make myself seem better. I always thought my family was stupid and I really never wanted to be around them. Then I got the reality check of a life time when my mother passed away from a drug overdose.
This experience obviously changed my life forever, my parent just died. It turned my whole world around in one flash of a second. I thought I had lost everything and that no one was there for me. Those next couples of months were the worst of my life; nothing could take me out of the depression that had consumed me. Millions of thoughts constantly circled around in my head about what was next. Who would be there for me when I was sick, when I broke up with my first boyfriend, when I finally found the love of my life, when I just wanted to talk? I had a lot of time to think about what had happened and I noticed my life starting to change.
My goals, beliefs and interests all started to unravel in my head and change into new goals and new interests. Instead of having to get through the next day as my goal I started to look towards the future and where I would be in ten years if I didn't change. My value system for other people and for myself changed as well. Instead of only caring for myself I started to wonder why I was the way I was. What was the point of being hateful for no reason? Everyone deserved better from me, including myself. I had to make the hardest choice in my life that day. Was I just going to sit around feeling sorry for myself or was I going to get up and change. Well I chose to be the person I think my mother would want me to be. Instead of always taking people for granted and judging them on their mistake, I always try to look beyond that. How can I judge someone for something awful they have done then expect them not to do it back to me? It’s definitely hard to get past something like this but as humans it’s our nature to survive, to get through the hard times and into something new and wonderful.
My mother made a huge mistake on March sixth. She just wanted to push and push her limits to keep getting higher and higher. Well she got what she wanted in the end; she’s so high right now in heaven with God that I’m jealous of her. I can’t wait to be next to my mother whenever my time comes. I know it was an accident, a mistake, but now that it’s happened no one can go back in time to change it. What’s done is done so instead of crying over it all the time I choose to embrace it. Her death taught me so much, even in her afterlife she still teaches me things. Someone very close to you can be taken at any time by any series of events in a flash. So enjoy every moment you have with them on this world. My mother taught me to never take life for granted, even if it isn't your own.
Now you can see that others mistakes can affect you in a greater way than your own. Of course I still wish my mother was with me today, but looking at the brighter side of the situation if she had never made that mistake I would have never found my motivation to change; to rise out of the slum of drugs and alcohol and start my life the right way. Now others mistakes are most definitely not the only thing that helps define you as a person. Every choice you make every day of your life leads you deeper and deeper into your own self. You establish your core values and guidelines that you live by through mistakes. Without them your life would be pointless, you wouldn't have anything to live or strive for.
My life is just like anyone else’s. I go to school, work, I have friends and family who support me and I just live my life. But what may be different from others is that I have a personal credo unlike many others and could be considered weird.. My set of beliefs that drives all my thoughts and behaviors is not some great moral saying or a religious statement. What drives my actions is the thought of the actions themselves. With every move you make, thought you think and word that comes out of your mouth it can be considered a good thing, or a mistake that you may have not meant to do, think or say. But that’s what life is! It’s making mistakes, learning from your experiences and making your own path to lead your life on. If I were to die 50 years from now or in a week from now I know that I would be okay. Whether it was a mistake or not that killed me, it was my life and I know I lived it to the fullest.

Freewrite in response to one of the "This I Believe" essay
2-7-14
I'm writing in response to the essay, "A Grown-up Barbie" by Jane Hamill. Jane did a wonderful job on her essay. I find myself agreeing with her and the points she made about how clothes are really just clothes, it's what you do with them that makes a statement. Even though you might not look like barbie, it's the persona the doll puts off that makes you love her. She's supposed to be perfect in every way with her style, personality, body and intelligence. You know you can never be like her but you want to be with all your heart. For example, her clothes make barbie stand out to other dolls, she looks good at all times. These clothes weren't just sown together with no thought to them. They were carefully planned out to a T to make sure barbie is looking fabulous. Jane related to this part of barbie and is now an extremely successful designer. She learned from barbie that with the right attitude and knowledge, you can make anything to feel as good as the doll was. Jane turned her childhood toy into her own life and I believe that's really amazing.

Personal credo
2-7-14
Throughout life everyone makes mistakes, no matter how experienced you are in something you're still making some sort of error in your life. Whether it happens in the work place, home or school, it's still a part of your everyday life style. Some people might think it's a horrible thing, or that they never make mistakes. Well I believe down to my core that even though people make mistakes, they are meant to be and without them you wouldn't be who you are today. Mistakes and personal experiences make up your being, and if you think that you'd be better without them then what's the point in life? There's no adventure to anything, nothing to keep you on your toes or to get anxious about. You would have no life experiences to learn off of or to teach others by. I know making mistakes can be scary, and they can effect every one around you in a positive or negative way, but that's okay. Once something has happened you can't go back in time to change it, so embrace it. Empower yourself to get past whatever is holding you back, and become who you were meant to be.

What if....?
1-31-14
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.

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.
