Blog #1 -- Introduction

  1. I think my greatest assets are that I work hard at things that I'm truly interested in and I'm creative.
  2. The nicest thing I ever did for anyone was probably stand up for them, even though I'm kind of shy sometimes.
  3. One question I have about life is why do people hate each other based on class, race, nationality, religion, political views, etc.?
  4. My teachers last year will tell you that I am studious and have good attendance.
  5. My friends will tell you that I am kind of crazy and definitely fun to be around.
  6. People like me because I'm not judgmental.
  7. Don't laugh, but I'm an expert on the zodiac. I used to have a lot of free time and I was always really curious about it so... I retained most of that information.
  8. I want to know more about how I can help humanity as a whole.
  9. When I am 30, I will be happy doing what I want to do.
  10. Five years from now, I will probably still be in college.
  11. When I want to, I have the ability to speak my mind.
  12. A famous person I admire is Sherman Alexie because he's one of the only Native American writers of a newer generation, and he writes about things that people oftentimes don't want to talk about, especially concerning life on the reservation.
  13. I have trouble dealing with spiders.
  14. I am proud of my family and where I come from.
  15. My friends make me laugh when they just be themselves.
  16. The most stressful thing in my life is trying to get a job.
  17. If I had one hundred dollars, I would pay my car payment.
  18. It was easy to learn English-type subjects.
  19. It is difficult to learn science.
  20. I have no regrets about life.
  21. I like pretty much every kind of music, but there are too many songs to list here without it being a "These Are My Favorite Songs" post. If I have to pick one though, I think it's probably "The Phoenix" by Fall Out Boy or "Holding On" by Scary Kids Scaring Kids.
  22. My favorite colors are red, purple, and gold.
  23. My favorite place on earth is Newport, Oregon.

  1. Welcome Shawnee. I think we have quite a lot in common. I, too, like Sherman Alexie. Did you notice we're reading one of his short stories? I'm not a big spider fan either...although I am more fearful of mothes, believe it or not. I've not heard of Scary Kids Scaring Kids. Thanks for the reference. I'll look them up on YouTube. Finally, would would you be able to tell me about Aries? What does my zodiac sign reveal about me?

  2. Awesome! And I did I'm really looking forward to it :) I've read it before, and it's a good story for sure! Yech I'm not good around bugs in general... It's just spiders that I'm borderline irrational with haha! They're actually not my favorite band of that genre (I never know what to call it) but lately I've really been listening to U2 and AFI (which is my favorite band.) Ohhhh Aries... hahaha! My mom and good friend are both Aries. It means you're probably strong, hotheaded, brave, and a good leader :) But that's just the brief overview haha!

    1. Oh thank you! Haha yeah I read mine sometimes too, when I remember haha! And exactly, I'm still trying to understand why people flat out hate each other in general, but I really just don't get why people can't just... let it go, you know? Haha
