My Amendment

If I had a chance to write a constitutional amendment I would write an amendment that says people are not allowed to talk during the National Anthem. I would choose to make this one an amendment because when I see someone who is talking during our Nation's song I consider it extremely rude and disrespectful. There are troops with families fighting for there freedom overseas, going through terrible conditions while they sleep in a warm bed every night and they can't even shut their mouths for two minutes. These people disgust me and don't deserve the freedom they have been given. Freedom is most definetly not free and people take that for granted while people give their lives for a person who can't be respectful to our service men and women for two minutes of their time. I would make this an amendment because Americans who talk during a time to be respectful, need to learn how to grow up and shut their mouths.

I Wish....

I wish I still believed in wishes. Don't get me wrong I still believe in having dreams and goals and chasing them down, but when in your life have you wished on your birthday cake and that wish came true? Or at 11:11 or on a shooting star? As I have grown older I have lost that feeling of hope that when I made that wish it could still come true. I have accepted that simply wishing for something won't get nothing done, you have to work to get it there isn't anything magical behind it. I still pray and believe in Jesus and miracles but talking to my God is different then wishing for a simple thing. So if I could still believe in something from my childhood I would want to believe in the magic, hope and the simple childlike imagination behind a wish.

Don't Judge a Book by it's Cover

In this world many people look at someone's outside appearance and immediately begin to judge them instead of digging deeper into the person's personality and core values. I have known many people who are big on the outside but very little on the inside, and tend to be mean and vicious to others because they are really very insecure. Their outside appearance may not show it but the reason why they prey on hurting others is to boost themselves up from their inside insecurities. I have also known people that are little on the outside but very large on the inside with interests, kindness and love that you just have to look deeper to find. With these people you have to break down those walls to reach the place where they are comfortable with sharing themselves with you. Of course there are also people would are big on the outside and inside, and little on the outside and the inside. Those who are big outside and inside have the deep feelings of secureness but just are easier to find because they share it on the outside with less or no walls. Those who are little inside and out, can be lonely and mean at times and probably very insecure. I think that appearance has some affect on your personality but not all. Sure you will dress striving to be what you want to be but your looks and features are something that you are born with and weren't meant to change, but we were created to be able to change our personalities and values to the way we wanted to be perceived by others, so i truly think that your outside appearance can reflect you personality but it is not a hard fact. I think that if your outside appearance came from your internal beauty a lot of people would change. Perhaps that shy person you never talk to would become beautiful from deep internal thoughts that have been kept to themselves. Or that famous "beautiful" celebrity you always dreamed of being would be the image of their internal wants and desires that may or may not be what you saw before. If outside beauty came from the inside I think people would be more open and less judgmental because the cover of the book has been torn down and now the pages are revealed.

Saver or Spender??

I am a big saver. I hate spending money and barely ever spend it I don't even like spending gift cards. I'm not about making money and I don't have a job but whenever I do get money I put it away and save it. I don't buy anything that won't have real value to me but I will spend money when needed such as for Christmas or new clothes. I agree with the idea presented in the article because I think that even in this economy people still spend money on things they will never use and spend it way to much. Debt is rising and even our country is deep in debt and still spending enormous amounts of money. I think that we need to become more aware of our money problems and our problems with spending and wanting immediate gratification instead of wanting for the better result. We have grown up being impatient and pleased by the simplest things and we need to break this habit and the article presents an option to solve this issue. In my opinion i think our generation has many problems that we will have to overcome but I also think that we have the right people and leaders to push through the issues that will be presented before us. We will have to battle a dying economy, a growing weapons market, growing tensions of foreign powers, technology and many other issues including the judgement of our elders that will both help and hurt us. I still have a great hope and determination that our generation will be as great as the others before it.

The Tribes I Belong To

I belong to many tribes with many different interests. First I am in the Canton South student tribe and the Ohio State fan tribe. My family away from home is my soccer, basketball and softball tribes. I live for my 4-H tribe and enjoy the pizza-lover tribe. I belong to a large family tribe and a blonde hair tribe. Also the converse loving tribe, the sweatpants wearing tribe and the animal loving tribe. The farm girl tribe and the book loving tribe are part of my life. I am in the making mistakes tribe and the imperfect person tribe. And in the tribe of artists and the tribe of band geeks. I am involved with a large amount of tribes, people and interests that make me who I am. From a positive person tribe, to a missing their bestfriend tribe and a shy girl tribe. I love who I am and enjoy being in the tribes I am, utimatly I am in the tribe of people who have a large number of tribes that define them and their life.  

Introvert vs. Extrovert

I believe that I'm an introvert person because I value my time alone. I think that there really is no answer to which type of people "have it easier". I enjoy my time alone but I don't feel lonely, I'm not sad that I'm alone like some people would think. Extrovert can talk to others easy then I can but I have very close friends and talk to people when I want to. So necessarily think that one have an easier life then the other, we just enjoy life in our own ways. I think that if the entire world was extrovert there would be a large amount of social ties and more openness but less closer friends. If everyone was introvert there would just be groups of friends and closer people, maybe a little less circulation of ideas but still there would be leadership. I think most of my friends are introvert but one of my close friends are extrovert and I still love them both so I think that I don't differeniate between my introvert or extrovert friends. I think that either can be leaders because extroverts have more social skills but I have always been a leader and enjoy being in charge. I think that introverts may be able to stay on task a little easier without talking as much and may be able to think more clearly. I think the question of which are better writers, teachers, neighbors all depends on your social opinion. Some introverts may consider extroverts to talkative and annoying, while some extrovert may consider introverts snotty and stuck up. I think overall introvert and extrovert is just how large your circle of friends is and how close you become friends with people.
