Halloween

As long as I could remember, October has been my favorite month for three reasons. It is my mother's birthday in October, the fall weather is in full effect, and the holiday Halloween! I also enjoyed the Halloween movies they played on TV for several days called the thirteen days of Halloween. I remember going trick or treating every year and getting my bag almost full. I ate those candies very quickly.  I really like looking back on those memories, now that I do not trick or treat anymore. My siblings are around my age, so we do not go trick or treating like we used to go every year. I guess this is growing up. *sigh* I believe that any age can go trick or treating, but I am  honestly not that enthusiastic about it anymore, and I don't like eating a lot of candy anymore. I am open to the idea to attending Halloween theme parties, because the decorations are cute and there are a lot of unique costumes. I like when people create homemade costumes, because a lot of effort is put into them, and they are more creative and unique. There will  possibly be no replica since it was made at home. I also like the haunted houses and mazes. I will probably dress up my dog and make her look cute. I feel that pets make any simple costume look really funny, and their little eyes are really cute. I know that if I put a costume on my pet, then I will have a hard time keeping in on her, because she likes to take it off.

Tv musings

Whenever I look around for something to watch on television I always find myself on the children TV networks. I then begin to feel  a sense of nostalgia, and I remember how watching my favorite TV shows have been a big part of my childhood.  I remember coming home from school and going to turn on the television right away. I try to watch the shows that are on TV now and it makes me sad, because those shows are not as good as they used to be. Am I growing up, or do these shows nowadays actually suck? The only show that I think is good is Peppa pig. The characters on that show are really cute!  I remember watching Nickelodeon shows like Hey Arnold!, Rugrats, The fairy odd parents, SpongeBob Square pants,Cat dog and many more! I also like Cartoon Network shows like the Power puff girls, Dexter's Laboratory,  The Looney Tunes, and my favorite Courage the Cowardly dog. Disney channel also had its fair share of great shows like The Proud family, That's so Raven, Kim Possible. These TV networks had many great shows that I watched when I was young. I would list them all, but then it would be a very long blog. Some of these shows were in the 90s and some of them were in the early 2000's. These TV shows kept me and many kids entertained, and makes us miss the old days. I can agree that television is not as popular as it used to be, due to smartphones and Netflix. People could just stream their favorite shows on Netflix using their IPhones. Hopefully a 90's show marathon comes on TV, because I will be definitely watching it.

For the love of pets!

Having a pet has always been a blessing. I truly believe that pets serve a special purpose in the lives of humans. Pets teach us to be responsible and compassionate. I have always wanted to have a lot of pets especially when I was young, but I did not understand the huge responsibility that comes along with them.  I love how dogs are always cheerful, and very cute. I love how happy they act when they miss their owners. I would say that dogs are my favorite pets, but then again, I have only had dogs. I had parakeets for several years when I was younger, but they would get killed by the evil neighborhood cat. I am not saying that all cats are evil, but the one that ate my parakeets is evil. I am open to the idea of having a pet cat in the future. I know that they are completely different from dogs, and I believe that having different types of pets is very important. No pets should be neglected or abused. I hate when people take advantage of animals and starve or abuse them. That is completely selfish, since  pet puts their complete trust in the owner.  We have a lot to learn about different species of animals. I believe that adopting pets is also a great option! There are a lot of pets in the shelter waiting for a family to give them a home. The animal shelter pets just want to give their
unconditional love to their owners.

9/10/16

I am usually quiet and reserved, which causes people to think that I am standoffish, but I am an observer. I usually listen more than I speak. I love to listen to people, it helps me retain information efficiently. I will occasionally add my input in a conversation, when I am really interested. I can admit that I do not like to participate in class discussions, but I will if there is a participation grade. The funny thing is that my freshman year of high school, I had a class where participation was required, and I got 70% in participation category.  I never raised my hand, so my teacher would constantly pick on me to answer questions. That would make me annoyed, because sometimes I did not know the answer! Now that I look back to those days, I am just glad that my teacher wanted to help my grade out. I would not consider myself shy. I was really shy in elementary school, and liked to read a lot, but as I began junior high I became confident.  I felt that as I grew up, I became comfortable and talking to my peers became an easy thing. I met the shyest girl in high school. If you compared me to her, I would be extremely talkative and outgoing. She constantly looked down when people talked to her,  and she would have a very quiet soft voice. She sat right next to me, and when I talked to her I found out she was a sweet person! She was even voted to be the shyest girl on senior mosts in our high school yearbook. I think that shy people are really interesting people, they just do not express themselves like other people. I am an easygoing person, and willing to help people I know and even strangers. Today an elderly lady came towards me, and asked me to read what size was on the pajama set she was buying. "Is it medium?" she quickly added before I could even tell her what it said. "No, it is  size large" I replied. The print on the tag was extremely small, so I understood why she was having issues. She said thanks and then added that she couldn't see anything, so she was glad that I helped her. I wrote this type of  blog because I realized that I usually do not write about myself, I just write about things that interest me.

The Art of Writing

The Art of writing seems to be a powerful tool in our society. I can see how it is a major form of communication, second place to speaking. Writing can effectively inform and teach about a topic. My experience with writing has always been by making essays that I was assigned to do. I have created an array of persuasive and research essays. I felt like they were really annoying to do and the topics were limited due to school appropriateness. Completing these essays felt like an obligation, because I wanted my grade to remain in a perfect state. Being able to write whenever a person wants to, due to being inspired is when important pieces of writing can be created. All of the most important and influential writers have had a source of inspiration in their lives. For example, In my history class we learned about an important writer by the name of Thomas Paine. Paine was an Englishman who wrote his novel, Common Sense in January 1776.  The significance of this written novel was that, it was the first declaration of protest against the British government. At first, the colonists were reluctant to join the revolution, but after reading Common Sense they became inspired and decided to fight for their freedom. This is a historical example of how literature, writing can be inspiring and change the minds of individuals. There have been many important works of writing that has been around in our lifetime. I am correlating Art and Writing because they are both forms of expressions, while Art is visual and writing being the opposite. I can admit that this blog writing has helped expand my writing abilities.I am also glad that I am able to see my classmates writing,because it is very interesting to see what everyone is writing about.
