Fiery Red is the color I would be. The reason I would be this
color is because I am a passionate, outspoken person! I have my own views and I
don’t care what others would think or say! I can be strong and bright, but also
sad and angry. I am very human and speak my own mind. I am very passionate in
what I believe in even if others don’t believe the same. I am also caring but I
have all the emotions so I just believe this color would be me. Bold, striking,
loving, dangerous, and fun all wrapped in one color! The bold side of me would
mean that I am brave and say what I feel I do not hide who I am! Also I would
be the one if someone was to dare to do something that would be me. The loving
side means just what it says, I am a very compassionate loving person and care
for others feelings. The striking side means that I have my own style I do not
follow trends. The dangerous side I would say is not dangerous really just
brave and not afraid of much, so yes I would sky dive or climb the highest
mountain if I could! The fun side means just what it says I am very fun no
Debbie downer here.

Slogan
You only live once so do what makes you happy, that is my slogan.
I really believe that you should do what makes you happy and not worry about
others. I know easier said then done, but ever since I had a wake up call in
2006 when I was diagnosed with cancer it really made me think about my whole
life in a different way. We only get one life it is not like we have another.
So we should not take it for granted. I feel as though I did before the Cancer,
I always did what others wanted just to please others. Now I do what I want to
do. It really makes you a better person in the end anyhow, you are much happier
if you are doing what makes you happy. My goals are much wider then I have ever
imagined they would be and I am a much happier person today then I was when I
was always doing things for others to please them. I try to smile every day. I
am much wiser now that I am older as well and know what I want to do and what
would make me a happier person. So I say “ you only live once do what makes you
happy” if that means to run a marathon do it, or to travel abroad find a way
to make it happen even if it takes you until you are sixty still do it! Every one
person has a passion for something that they love even if they are bad at it, I
say never give up try try and try again and do it if that is what makes you
happy. Find the time. I am finally doing what I always wanted to do yes I am 41
but I don’t care I am still breathing, kicking, and able so I am doing what
makes me happy. To me this is the most important thing you can do for yourself
and others. It will not only make you a much happier person but you will also
be a much happier person to be around!
What if I woke up in another Country
What if I woke up in another country and no one understood me, I
think my first reaction would be that I would be scared. First I would try to
give myself a few minutes to calm myself then I would try to use as many
friendly facial expressions as I possibly could to express what I was saying to
the foreign people. I would probably do a lot of praying to God to ask him to
help keep me safe and to give me strength to get through it. I know IO would be
freaking out on the inside scared out of my mind, but I do know myself as a
person and I know I would try everything in my power to express my self as
friendly as possible. If that did not work ands the people were violent I would
do my best to escape somehow and still pray to God that he would get me out of
it. If I woke up and there were no people around and I was in a forest or
something of that nature I would probably hide out there until I could find a
phone somehow and call my family, husband so that they might get our Country
to help get me home. If I got put into like a prison or something I would
probably be crying but I would still not let go of my faith in God to get me back
home, I would pray daily and still express my friendliest expressions to
people. How I would express myself would be through facial expressions and hand
gestures. I would surly hope that would work. I know if I did wake up in a
different country that would be a very traumatic experience for me because I have
never even been out of the country, the thought is scary for sure! All I know
is that I would be as friendly as I possibly could if I cane across people and
would hope that the people were friendly and helpful to feed me take care of me
until they could help me get a hold of my family to get me back home. Also it
would be great if I came across another American if I woke up in another
country then I know I would have a better chance to at least make it out. If the
people were friendly I would learn their cultures and explore their country.
If there was never any illnesses
If there was never any illnesses again how great would that be? I
think it would be fantastic because it would mean that people could do more
with their lives and also spend their lives with their loved ones happily. Also
it would save the world so much money and time. Although there would be a bad
side to this I think because as humans we are born to have feelings. So that
would mean we would never have pain or feel pain and only pleasant things. I
suppose there are reasons then that we do not understand to why we have
illnesses, it is like that saying that there is a reason for everything. I
just know personally for me that not ever having any illnesses again would be
great, It would mean so much to me. I could do the things I have always
wanted to do without it affecting my body. I could spend more time with my
family and friends because I would not have illnesses to keep me from that. I
would enjoy my life more fully not worrying what tomorrow would bring. I could
do so many things I have always wanted to do like a bike marathon! Sadly this
is all fantasy and not reality. My kids I know would love it to have their
mother not ever become sick again and not having to worry for me. Also I would
never have to worry about my loved ones becoming ill. The country and
community would be a much better place because we would have more money and
more people out in the community contributing. We would have no more wars over
sickness like we do now. This is something I would love but it is also
something that would cause worry as well because if there were no more
illnesses then that would mean we would no longer need no more doctors to care
for us, so the people who are doctors now would have to find different
professions. Also I think that we would still find wars to fight.
What If
What if, we could be young forever, how great would that be. To
just pick an age you would love to be and stay that way for as long as you
liked! If we could do that then I would pick age 25 the perfect age for me to
be. I had more energy then, I had no illnesses and I felt oh top of the world!
I know I could do a lot more things I have always wanted to do that my body
just will not let me do. I would hike to the tallest mountain, and travel the
world on foot. I would join a bike marathon and just do everything I could
possibly do that I no longer can not do. I would be much wiser to knowing the
things I know now and would go to school longer for the dream occupation I have
always wanted. I would be able to spend a lot more time as well with my children
and family! I would feel absolutely great as well. I would probably love to go
explore other countries.
Ice Storm Of 2007
It was 2007 and me and my family lived in Republic, Mo. We heard
about a ice storm headed our way and was preparing the best we could for it.
Little as we knew it was far worse then we believed It would be. Late that
night around 9n pm when it started it started out as ice droplets falling
from the sky we could hear it outside hitting the roof, the car, and the wind
beating u[p against the house. Around 10pm we lost power. We all got candles
and flashlights out and tried to make the best of the night. I told the kids
stories while we sat there waiting for the power to be back on but an hour had
passed and still no power. So I finally tucked all the kids in their beds and
me and my husband went it be that night, but we could not sleep. All night
there were sounds coming from outside, crackling noises, popping sounds from
the elected boxes and eerie sounds all not it was dark no street lights and
just wind and crackling from trees breaking outside. It was a long cold and
scary night. That morning we woke up to see the damage and it was terrifying I
had never seen anything so devastating in my life. I had always seen things on
the news but in real life when it happens to you it is a very different
experience all together. That morning since the only thing that was working was
our cell phone's I got on the phone and called the electric company, the
school, and found out school was cancelled and that our power would be out fro
a week. Apparently the whole south of Missouri got hit bad from this storm and
even the power companies had to get help from other cities and states.
crackling noises, popping sounds. The noise of the storm outside was
horrible to listen to, I can still remember what the eerie sounds of that night
were like. The trees breaking in half crackling, snapping, the electric boxes
outside popping and the only light was sparks from the electric boxes cracking
and popping. The sounds of that will be forever embedded in my mind. Now I try
and prepare for storm more better and I am more aware of things. That morning
I decided to call around to see if I could find somewhere we could all stay
with warmth and electricity. My other family members live in Oklahoma so we
could not go there since the highway was iced over. Finally I found a hotel in
Springfield the only one that was opened to stay, got there in time to pay for
it, I was so relieved. I will never forget that winter of 2007 it was truly a
life experience I will never forget. And the sounds of that ice storm was very
scary to hear. Well the crackling, popping, and snapping I would remember if I
heard it again and know what was happening but at that time I did not know I
just thought it was ice falling from the skies making that sound, not until I
looked. My children went through the whole ordeal well. I think better then
me.It brought us some family quality time together but I would have rather had
that time on something good still it is something we will All remember.There have
been more ice storms since the one of 2007 but none like that one, the
crackling, popping, and snapping and the devastation it did to homes, businesses
and schools was horrible.
Blue
For as long as I can remember I have loved the blue ocean
and all the creatures within but my most favorite mammal of all is the
beautiful blue dolphins and the wide blue vast sea that they live in. There is
so much beauty when your out on that beautiful blue water, you can lie back on
your boat and look up at the beautiful blue sky or stand up and look over the
many different shades of blue water as the waves slowly roll in around the
boat. You can see the many beautiful blue fish in the sea the beautiful
different shades of blue, there are the very deep dark blue that almost looks
black, there are the transparent blue color that when you look at it, it
shines and you can almost see through its light blue sheer, there is the
aquamarine beautiful blue.
The Purpose Of The Text And The Purpose Of The Audience
The purpose of the text is from my point of view the story
of Eric Greiten’s life and how he wanted to help people, make a difference in
the world, to make a the world a better place. The purpose of the audience is to give them
a look into Eric Grieten’s life and what he went through to get to the place he
is at. It is to give the audience something they can believe in, look up to, a
fellow American, an American soilder, a hero. Eric wanted to help humanity, to
make a difference, to make a change for the common good. As it turns out it
also helped Eric in a lot of ways, it taught him about human compassion, about
human suffering, and it also taught him about appreciation for life. I know
that it shows the audience this as well. It also shows the audience that Eric
is just a person like us that had a dream, interest in the common good, in
making a change for the world, for a better world, a world that we could all
share in and have peace and a good decent life. The whole purpose of the text
is to let us in on making a better place for our world, showing compassion,
showing a purpose for what we all believe in, showing human decency. It also
tells us not to give up on our dreams!

Conflict
I have a conflict right now with my own body. I have lots of health problems and have had some health issues for awhile now but at the moment I have a major conflict with my hypothyroidism. You see my doctor keeps check on my levels every six months because I have no thyroid no more due to hypothyroidism and a goiter with cancer found in it in 2006. Ever since then I have had to be on thyroid medicine and will have to the rest of my life. For the past 6 months my thyroid levels have been really low and not functioning. I really never gave it much thought before I had problems with my thyroid. When I found out that my thyroid was full of cancer and had to be removed, I started to do research for myself to learn more about the thyroid and what its purpose was for the body. To my amazement I found out that the thyroid actually is very important to our bodies. It basically runs everything in our bodies. It helps our heart, metabolism, our skin, hair, lungs, digestive system, etc..all kinds of things. Researching this helped me to understand what my body had been going through when it was not working properly anymore. Well fast forward to August of 2014 when I had my thyroid checked because I had been feeling extremely tired and irritable. I found out that my levels were really low and also had another Cancer scare which can put you on edge. Well this is my conflict.
My point of view about my conflict is that I feel extremely tired, the tired you feel when you try so hard to keep your eyes open but they shut. My body feels extremely hot for awhile and then extremely cold, my lungs feel like I ran the marathon and I am out of breath easily. My hair falls out at times in clumps, thankfully I have thick hair. I have vision problems at times. I get heart palpation's often. I feel depressed at times from all this and just want to sleep. I have insomnia at times. I have stomach issues at time.
My Mother looking at my conflict would say to have faith and never give up. She would encourage me to keep my mind strong and focused on all the good things in my life, like my children and how many people love me. She would tell me to pray for healing and for me to believe that I am healed. She would encourage me to seek help from my doctor and to not be discouraged. She would make me feel better because she would lift me up emotionally. She would say and has said that I was put here for a reason and that we all are put here for a purpose. She would tell me that it will get better.
Ted Talk
This was very interesting to me personally to know about stress and how your way of dealing with it can actually benefit your health. I have lots of stress in my life at times and when I do I usually do not cope well with it. I loved hearing how thinking in a postive way when you are stressed can help you. I liked how she said when you start to have stress to tell yourself this is my body and start to talk to people who can support you when your stressed can actually help build a resistance and help make your heart stronger. I also loved learning that caring for others when they are stressed can actually help you build a resistance recptor to your heart. I never knew stress could be looked at in a positive way. I have always been told from my doctors that stress can cause lots of health problems.
There was a secret agent that had a very important mission he was on for the secret service and he was on the way to the pentagon when he was waiting on a bench at the bus stop eating a donut when all of a sudden a pigeon came along looking for something to eat the pigeon looked at the man then at the donut giving the man very significant impressions that it wanted the donut, but the secret agent man had been in the business long enough to stare down the best and he was not giving up his breakfast to this hungry pigeon. Well the pigeon seemed very persistent and knew the secret agent was not going to share his donut so the pigeon decided to take it away but the donut flew up in the air and into the special briefcase the agent was carrying with him. The pigeon was a smart one by the eye impressions it was making at the agent, it was looking at him as if to say; "I can't believe you would not share the donut", and all of a sudden went at the agent trying to peck at him for dropping the most prized possession "the donut" when all of the sudden the pigeon landed in the special briefcase. The pigeon stared at all the shiny big colored buttons thinking that it was food and started to peck at it to eat, when all of a sudden the pigeon realized it was not food but a weapon and he could see the outside from inside the magical briefcase. The agent had noticed the pigeon was locked inside his special briefcase and was trying to get it when all of a sudden it caught him by surprise that the pigeon inside was firing at him from the secret special briefcase.
Lesson's I Have Learned
Lessons I have learned in my life is that two wrongs never make a right, meaning; when someone treats you badly talks badly about you or curses at you, you should just walk away and let it roll of your back because most likely they have some major problems going on in their life and they are taking their misery out on you and everyone else. This lesson I have learned because when I was young I used to get offended and hurt by these types of people and I wanted to get even or get them back some way for hurting me, but I learned that is not right and it usually results in a worse outcome then just ignoring it and letting it go. I do believe that you should never put up with this type of mental abuse if the same person keeps doing this well then you should cut them out of your life because then that means that their is something this person has happen to them and their life or been taught this and think this is normal when it is not!
Another lesson I have learned in my life is that you should not depend on others for handouts because then you never really learn to take care of yourself and it is not good to be dependent on others always. We all need to be self efficient to learn how to care for ourselves is very healthy and good for us. I have learned this personally in my life with my husband. Me and my husband were together when I was really young and I did not finish school because I had kids to raise and so I could not get a good paying job so I was so dependent on him financially, and eventually when your like this you become dependent on someone emotionally, and mentally and you put all your trust in this person to take care of all those needs and not all people who

Physical and Personality Traits
There’s an inactive, melancholy, pumped up, bareheaded guy with inked skin that looks pretty horrifying. He seems to be somewhat of a free spirit that’s very determined about something he’s working on. He’s occupied and very chatty, boisterous, and blunt! His face shows a furry, kinky haired lip rug. He seems classy the way he’s sitting there, kind of slender and competent too in a rugged looking kind of way. He’s talking to someone and I could tell he’s very head strong and apprehensive. I sat there observing the random fellow and by his bodily composure he looks drained and drowsy
Me and my Fam-Bam believe that the flakey, grotesque,
thingamajig that lives in our basement can levitate it is so Cosmic. So I was
discussing the whatchamacallit to a friend and her reaction was justified for
this situation, she said, “excellent”! She began to act like a Queenie about
it! After I told her about it she began throwing words out, saying, what, and
really in a non believing way. Finally I told her to come check it out for
herself. She was like, dang, this is beautiful, awesome, and extra ordinary!
“You guys should go home,” she said. She told me this was a Biggie, and this
was vital. Me, My Friend, and the
Fam-Bam all had a nice dinner together we were all talking about the
thingamajig and how it made us feel. You see it was not scary at all, it looked
scary but it did not act scary. I
started to talk to everyone, I said, You guys, this thing this whatchamacallit
has protected us many times. Just the other day when I was in the basement to
do some laundry I tripped and fell over something and almost landed on my head
when all of a sudden the thingamajig caught me in mid air it was very warming
the way it looked at me, and then it spoke and said, Tadaa . I felt that it
loved us. I can tell that it is content being here with us, all of a sudden I
was cut off from the conversation because someone in my Fam-Bam interrupted and
stated, Mom. Our Mom replied by looking
very confused and said, what? It was my brother who interrupted me while I was
talking and he started to give my Mom a tall tale of a story about the
whatchamacallit and his implication was not good at all, but before I knew it
our Mom had stopped him and agreed with everyone else that the thingamajig was
actually a very good natured beast. We all then agreed to keep the whatchamacallit
as a pet. Our Fam-Bam talk was a success.

Happiness
Happiness to me is learning to let go at times. What I mean by that is to not worry about what others think all the time. When you do this you feel a since of freedom and you start to feel really good about yourself. Another meaning of happiness to me is my children. When I look at them and see how great they have become since they are adults now I feel a great since of pride and happiness. I know I did a great job the best a mother could do. Happiness is a freeing feeling, it is all the colors of the rainbow, it is like having your first ice cream cone on a hot day. It is like seeing the beautiful flowers in the spring, it is like feeling the warm sun on your skin, like feeling the wind through your hair, and like smelling the crisp air after a good rain storm. This is what happiness feels like to me. It is a deep overwhelming feeling that makes your heart glow bright. That makes your day feel like the best day you've ever had. I have felt happiness in my life, the first time I seen my children, their first words they spoke, and throughout their growing up.
