The Labels and Life of Me

My life till this moment in time has been full of mostly ups. I have been extremely blessed to be placed in the family I am in. My family loves me unconditionally, I have an abundant amount of friends, I am healthy, I get to participate in the activities in which I choose, I live in the best country in the world, and most importantly I am completely aware that God is completely in control of my life and I believe he has great plans for me. Growing up in Crawford, Nebraska has always been a great experience for me. Most of my family lives within walking range, I get opportunities to participate in numerous activities, I am accepted for who I am, and I am in a beautiful part of the nation with great hiking territory. The qualities in which I possess are those in which can be labeled. Some of these labels are good, and some are not as good. These labels include: Optimist: I am always seeing the good in situations. I have changed somewhere in my life, because I would used to get upset over the dumbest things. Now, I rarely even have a day that wasn't worth smiling about. Extrovert: I am very outgoing which is not always be a good thing. I enjoy and desire attention which can get me into some trouble. On the bright side, I have several friends from many different places that I can count on to make me happy. I love expressing my opinions to those who will listen. Jock: I LOVE sports. Basketball is my favorite, but they all get me excited. I like to play and watch almost every sport. Watching golf on t.v. isn't as fun as it sounds though. Mama's Boy: I love my parents. I will listen to their advice, even if I don't claim to sometimes. They have helped mold me into the person I am today, and I appreciate that. Thanks to them, I am a Jesus lovin', sober virgin that values family and conservative values. I'm not afraid to admit that. :) Leader: Thanks to my extrovertedness (is that a word?) and strong opinions on many subjects I love to be in charge. I have learned that it is extremely important to listen to others opinions, because believe it or not, others have some extraordinary ideas and talents also. Busy Bee: With the amount of extracurricular activities I am in, I am a busy individual. I am in football (will be in cross country next year instead), basketball, track, one act play, all school play, student council, band, choir, I have a 4.0 GPA, and I will be inducted to National Honor Society this Tuesday. Thrill Seeker: I love roller coaster and other big thrills. I ripcorded last summer with my sister Sam, and I had a blast! Adrenaline feels amazing. Uncoachable: This one mostly applies to my family. I generally want my family to think that I am capable of being good enough that I don't need their advice. This is obviously not true. I don't acknowledge that I am actually listen, and I pretend to be stubborn, but I usually apply there information in what I do. I am excited about how my life will play out. My plans for my future include receiving a degree in business administration, and to eventually have a family of my own. I am glad I have went through the experiences I went through in my past, I am proud of who I am today, and my present and pass will pave the way for my future.

Returnal to My Blog

I have not been on this site for a couple of years now. Upon returning, I looked back at my blogs from previous years, and the looks of them make my eyes hurt. The question for me is: How do I want to establish myself as an author on this site? I know how I conduct my writing in school, but should it be the same? Do I want to be creative and energetic? Do I want to be serious and professional? Do I want to be thoughtful and imaginative? Do I desire to engage my readers with intellectual phrases and an academic vocabulary? Or do I not want to sound plain and simple? I believe writing is an art that is misunderstood by many. It is essential for success in this world. Therefore, this blog is partially for practicing writing on my own free will. While practicing my prose, I plan on narrating stories of broad variety. After all, a blog spot contains no rules. My first series of compositions are going to be autobiographical. They will contain my past, my present, and the direction I desire for my future. After these pieces, I will write about various subjects that I find worthy of commentary. I am using this site as a source for myself rather than a place for readers to be intrigued, but if you insist on reading I hope I don't bore you to death. :)
