My experience in writing blogs has been a very interesting one.  When we were given the task to begin this blog, did not know if I would pick a  specific theme, or if I would write about an array of topics. I have decided that I would make a blog about things that interest me. Each week I would easily be able to decide on what to write. At first, I was unsure of what I would write about, and even considered blogging about my dog, Lolita. My dog Lolita is a bichon frise, but not the completely white type, she has an apricot tone to her ears and curly fur.  I have many stories to tell about her, but they would be like three pages long and take forever to read. My dog has a lot of cute quirks that she does, which also warm my heart each time I see her do them. Lolita also knows how to play dead, but will only do that trick if food is at the expense. I would pretend to shoot her, and then she would fall to the ground. The funny thing is that she usually keeps one of her eyes open to see what will happen next. I give her the treat right away, or she would refuse to do the trick next time around. I have truly enjoyed writing these blogs, because they have shown me how to express my ideas, and write about topics that I would not have generally written about. I have also enjoyed reading everyone’s blog because they are interesting, funny and share important topics that are relevant today.

Bucket list:

There are many things that I have on my bucket list that I really want to complete. I happen to love nature and very interested in how the landscapes came to be. Geographical regions, and the erosion of mountains are very interesting to see. When I was younger, my family and I would go to the mountains that are located in Patterson California every single weekend. We would drive around and take pictures of the huge mountains that seemed to be very impressive at the time. I truly miss going to see the Patterson mountains like we use to, now my family is too busy to go. The thing that I have on my bucket list is being able to visit as many national parks as possible. To be honest I have only gone to one national park, Sequioa National park.  I actually went in September of this year. It was really beautiful, and I really enjoy seeing the trees and mountains that are full of life. I also want to see the wildlife that lives there, except for bears, because they are scary! They do not compare to the cute teddy bears that are sold at the store, obviously. The  next National park that I want to go to is Yosemite National park. It is actually not that far from Turlock, only being two hours away! I also have to make sure I have a quality camera to take pictures with, because I need to capture nature’s beauty. There are so many National Parks all over the United States that I would like to visit. For example, Grand canyon natl park, and Yellowstone National park, Death valley national park, and many more!

Important decisions

As I turn on the TV in my living room, the first thing that shows up is coverage of the 2016 Presidential election. I am aware that it has  been going on for months, and I know that some people are really annoyed with seeing all the ads and what propositions to vote for. This will be my first time voting for a Presidential election with the exception of voting for the primary in June. The young people need to understand how important it is to vote. The argument that a single vote does not matter, really bothers me. There will be local elections that will occur in our community, which can possibly affect our everyday lives. I am just thinking how our candidates that are running came to be and if they deserve to be president. I specifically judge their character and their willingness to help the American people. I will not go into specifics, but it is obvious that one of our candidates cannot possibly relate to us, never having the everyday struggles and the point of view that we the American people go through ,by working hard for the things that we have, and not having the easy way in life. I know that both our candidates are flawed. We do not expect them to be perfect, but sometimes we wish they were different. I did not mean for this post to be Politicized, but it is an important thing going on in our lives, and it is finally happening! I respect everyone's decisions and opinions, but we need to act civil and respectful to each other. Let's all vote for whoever we are voting for tomorrow, and lets hope for the best, because we are going to need it!  If we desire to see change in our county, then we need to make sure to voice our opinion.
