Family Get-Togethers

During one of the family get-togethers there was one story that sounds like a horror movie rather than a real story. It had to do with family that lived somewhere in the suburbs encountering a creature that had like three legs and hopped and screamed like a child. It was a normal day but one day their dogs started barking and seemed like they were fighting with something. All of a sudden the dogs started whimpering and after that there was no sound. The family didn’t think it was something to worry about but they started to hear some thumping near their house. One of the guys in the family decided to go out and check out what the noise was thinking it was the dogs. When he got out there he didn’t see anything and went back into the house. It got weirder the next day and when one of the family members was going to go to work he noticed that there were marks on his car. He didn’t think anything of it and looked over to check on the dogs that were sleeping. That night the family started hearing the dogs start barking and fighting with something again. But after the dogs started whimpering they heard a weird noise after the dogs stopped whimpering and it was the sound of a child crying. The girls were getting scared and demanded that the boys to check what was happening. All of the guys in the house went outside and still they didn’t see anything. But the next morning they found out that they’re dogs were dead and it really scared everyone in the house. The boys buried the dogs and it didn’t seem like there were blood spilled anywhere. That night instead of dogs barking they started hearing a child cry. All of the guys went outside to check on the noise and before they went back into the house they saw a small white creature with three legs hopping near the car. One of the guys went back into the house to get the rifle and came back out to scare the creature away. When it hit the creature it started screaming like a child and then it started to scream like a guy. The creature quickly jumped away over the fence and disappeared.

Three People I Look Up To

Mother Teresa is one of the people that I look up to because of her unbelievable selfless compassionate heart. She was a nun that committed most of her life helping other people in need and never did anything for herself. She gave a lot of people the courage to live and made them feel like they were worth something in this world. She was the symbol of a saint in the eyes of everyone she met. She always showed her respect to everyone she met and never made anyone feel like they were inferior to one another. She did not create a charity foundation to get attention from people but she did it so people would realize that there are other people who are in need of kindness. To me I see her as a woman who was more gentle and kind that anyone will ever meet. She encourages other people to help others in need. I want to be like Mother Teresa because she is has one of the most unique and unselfish personality I have ever seen. I want more people to be like her but in this world, the possibilities of a nice person like her would be corrupted by people whose intentions are insidious.

Mila Kunis is a unique actress to me. I loved most of the movies she starred in and I could see that she is a wonderful person. She seems like the type to be real towards other people and not feel that she has to be faked to be liked by other people. She grew up in a family that immigrated from Ukraine and she knows what kind of hardships the people in the acting industry goes through. She still chose to do something she loved even with the high risk of not being employed in a movie and her family knew it too. They wanted her to be happy for what she loved at the same time a job that wouldn’t be so risky for her to live her life. But her family supported her in her dreams of being an actress. To me I see Mila Kunis as a person who has a quirky funny sense of humor in the movies and for me she is a beautiful person, inside and outside. I want to be like her in the sense that she seems real towards other people and not someone forcing themselves to be someone they’re not.

Queen Elizabeth I of England is a powerful queen. She did not depend or married another man to gain access to greater power. She made sure her country was in a better shape and did not force anyone to change their religion to match her own although she did encourage it within the country. Unlike her sister she was more than nice in terms of ruling over a country and not making it live in fear of her power. She had all the power a King in a country could hold over their nation and moreover she stayed as a virgin until her death. To me I loved how she followed her hearts and never depended on a man to do things for her. She was an independent person and although she had a lot of advisors or council that were full of man, she depended on herself to make the decisions and consider theirs and weigh out which ones would be better. I want to be like her by not depending on a man for things and be someone that could follow their heart. I do not think I would want to be alone for the rest of my life and would hope for a family of my own but like Queen Elizabeth I, I want to be an individual who does not need to depend on anyone else if things do not go my way but at the same time have a family of my own.

Picture Stories

True story: It was a celebration for two of my little cousin's birthday in May. It was a hot day and we were at a water park in Tulsa, Okalahoma. By water park, I don't mean the type of park with the water rides but more like a park surrounded by water and geyser-like water holes spraying out of nowhere like water fountains. The people present at the party were all relatives. There were a lot of games to pick from but since it was a hot day most of my relatives were sitting at the tables while the birthday girls and a couple of adults played around the water holes. This picture was taken in the mid afternoon when everyone in the group was bored because we ran out of ideas to talk about.

Ground Hog

Original day

It was during fifth grade at the end of the school year. I did not have a hard time making a friend, in fact; I talked a lot to a couple of friends. There was only one friend that stood out from the rest because she talked to me and played with me more since the first day I moved to the school during my fourth grade year in Pierce City. It was during recess when I heard from someone that my best friend told others that I was a 'loser' and boring to be around and that whole time I was thinking why did she say that? I had a hard time believing what they were saying and it was my very first time hearing someone secretly talk bad about me. What really hurt about all of this was the fact that it came from my only best friend. I was really hurt to the point that I stopped talking to anyone starting from sixth grade and thereafter because I was too scared and at the same time I lost the ability to trust anyone anymore.

How I would change it

I would go back to fifth grade and do what I have always feared but felt that it was necessary and the best way to do, confront her. I want to know the reasons why she said those words and ask her if I could improve on it or could have change in some way so that she did not feel so uncomfortable being around me or how I acted. I would have been able to move on if I had heard her reasons and forgive her and change myself to be a better person. She would still be my friend although it would still be a while to trust her again but she was still my first and best friend and the one person that trusted me with her secrets. Not all friendship is perfect and the best thing about a friendship is being able to talk to that person again who knows all your faults and still stay as your friend.

How it would effected my life today

I would be able to talk normally to people and not have to worry about what I say and be able to trust people with simple things and ask for help when I needed it. I would not have a hard time expressing what I want and be timid on how I sound when I'm answering a question when the teacher picks on me. I would not finish most of my sentence halfway when I realize how boring it sounds to people. I would be able to extend my current vocabulary with other people instead of repeating the same things over and over again. Most importantly, I would be able to make real friends and have friends I could rely on when I feel like the pressure of my family and school is getting too stressful for me. I believe my life would have been a lot easier if I had friends in school and to talk to when things are hard.
