What Are Rich People Like?

Well, this is going to be a little bias, because I am considered 'rich' because I'm settled in the middle-class of society. My dad has a high-paying job and my mother is blessed enough to be a stay-at-home-mother. I have 3 sisters, a two-story house, and a tanning bed in the upstairs bonus room. You could say that I was considered 'rich'. There are many ways to measure a families wealth, but I'm assuming you want to know about the money aspect.

Well, according to me and the people I know, "Rich" people are not as snobby and stuck-up as people think they are. Granted, it's a horrible stereotype that many people in the lower classes depicted through the stories like Romeo and Juliet, The Great Gatsby, and other films that Leonardo Decaprio was in that rich people are heartless, they don't care for anyone but themselves, they are spoiled, they are selfish, etc. Actually, no. We aren't. We have more to give than just money, we have resources that we can loan out to people, and often do.

Don't judge a book by it's cover. Get to know the person before you make assumptions.

Is There Something You Would Change Your Whole Life For?

Yes, I would change my life for the ones I love. If they weren't happy with the way I was I would change for them. Because my family means everything to me. I want to please them. I want them to be proud of me. That should be what everyone wants, right? To be accepted and loved? 

But at the same time, I don't know if I would change it. Because if they don't love me for who I am... But for someone I've pretended to be, do I really want them to love me anyway? Or is it just something that I am going to have to do for them. To make them happy? 

Yes I would... I think. 

If You Had to Pick One Thing That You Wanted More Than Any Other Thing What Would It Be?

If I have to pick ONE thing, then it has to be I want people to read my book and absolutely love it! I want to be as big as J.K Rowling, Charles Dickens, Stephen King, and Dr. Suess. I want everyone to know my name as an author. I want to be able to walk out on the street and people run up and ask me to sign a copy of my book. That's what I want most in this world. Or at least right now it is. 

The reason I want this is because it's something that I've wanted since I was 6 years old. It's always been my dream, because it's what I'm good at. I love to write, I love to create, I love to think about a story-line to the point where I'm bored with it. I want to pick-and-pull apart stories until there's nothing left to think. I want to be able to analyze and summarize every book in the library system. Yes. That is what I want. 

Report Card Stuff

So this 6-weeks, I have 3 A's and a B on my report card. I'm hoping to keep up the amazing grades (They're amazing for me..) and have straight A's next progress report and report card terms.

My strengths this 6-weeks is my willingness to learn, I pay attention in class, I study, I do my work, and I do what is expected of me.

My weaknesses are that I do have a really short attention span, so it is pretty hard to focus for a very long time. I have a lot of classes this semester, 2 college and 4 high school EVERYDAY! So it's also hard to balance my time evenly throughout my free time. I never have time for anything that I want to do, so I really hate that!

Really they only thing I need to work on is my Time Management methods. Yes.

Campbell University

In my personal opinion, Campbell was a beautiful campus with many great qualities. However, it is not one of the schools I will be considering to attend. Simply for the fact that it is a very small school. I don't exactly want to go to a privet school either.
Campbell's food was amazing, on my list at #2 for good food, North Carolina State University is at the top of my list at #1!
Campbell had a beautiful campus, it was on the small-side but it was still a nice sized campus. There were many places to go and many things to do. The library looked absolutely beautiful and I could not even describe the building we sat in! It was glamorous and gorgeous to say the very least.
But, despite the campus being as beautiful as it was. Another reason I don't want to attend Campbell is I got a funny look everywhere I went. Like I was being forced away or told "You don't belong here." Everyone looked angry when we walked by them, granted they were all on the way to class so I can understand why. But that doesn't negate the fact that I still felt unwelcome.
Again, Campbell wasn't exactly on my list of "Top 5 schools I want to go to" but it wasn't the worst I've been too. I liked the campus, the people could have been a little bit more friendly but other than that it was a solid B+ from me!

1984 v. "Broken Sonnet" by John Yau

All these people are oh so miserable and they can't do a thing about it. It's like my favorite song, "What A Shame" By Shinedown says: "What a shame, You're living a life that you can't change." And I think that that's somewhat true. Of course, you can change your perception of life, but you cannot CHANGE your life. It's not possible. You can change your surroundings, you can change who you allow in your life, however, you cannot change life itself. That is not possible.

"1984" Prole Roleplay

September 23rd, 2013 

Earlyer today was a weird thing. A man came up to me and gestured to my body asking how much. I ran. He was scary and I didn't want no trouble. My ma told me that I'm 'posed to let them talk to me that way, but I don't. I'm only 16 years ole, I'm not old enough for those things. 

I 'member the bomb droppin t'day. It happens all the time so it not nothin' new. A man's leg was hangin from a rafter of a buildin, kinda gross me out! Anywhoser, I got hit in da head by a rock. That hurt. There be a bruise on my forehead from where it hit me. Maybe they'll start makin us wear those hard hats so no one gets hurted.
