To Goal or not to Goal ?

 
My big five for life is to become a teacher, travel the world, have the American dream (a nice house, husband, kids, a car), to be happy, to have a fun life with no regrets. I would consider my life a success if I had all of these accomplished. There my dreams and what I wished for my entire life, if I do not complete these I would feel like my life is incomplete. These are big goals in my life and the basic goals but I want to be able to say “I had a wonderful life and completed every wish and dreams I had. I do not see them changing any time soon I feel like this are easy goals to complete and I hope that once they are accomplished then I can re-create my list again, the only one I may see changing is the travel because it would have to depend on my income and when I’m married both of our income and who is going with us will be a factor as to whether or not it gets accomplished .As stated above the income would be a factor that would change the traveling but everything else I see happening.  I plan to make my goals happen no matter how hard they are to accomplish.

Is There Really Beauty In A Beast ?

This topic hit me in two ways because I was that girl who always dreamed of a prince but I learned it in my mind. In my school you could be with the hot!!!!!!!!!!! “Prince” looking guy who treats you badly or the not so hot but still good looking guy who actually make you feel like you are a princess. I chose the second one after many try’s with the first; and I’m very happy, hopefully forever after. But the second reason it hit me is because it my all-time favorite Disney princess movie. The reason I chose this movie is because it shows that we judge people and have to learn to like the ugly parts too not just the looks. We all look for the “prince” and ignore all the other guys. This shows that in today society and back then we are judge on everything we do. Throughout this movie you see all types of judgments of people like Bell and Gaston. He tries to get Bell because she is different but he doesn’t treat her right. The song “Beauty and the Beast” also show that one change in some one view can make a difference. Bell open up here mind and now her and the beast are together. I chose this as my argument because it shows that we are all judgmental. I believe that my argument is not ethical, because we shouldn’t judge others .We are the same in some ways and different. We should accept others no matter what.

Face It

Have you ever really found a product that clears acne? Well the product I chose for this blog would be Proactive. I personally dislike this product because I fell for their propaganda, bought all the different solutions and the product did not work for me.
The thesis of this product is if people use the four different bottle treatments their acne will disappear and their face will look like Cinderella’s. The product is supposed to get rid or bad acne and to help stop breakouts and keep them from coming back, while it heals the skin.
The purpose is that this product will help people look better, be more confident. Make your face shine and clear up acne and other skin issues.
The audience is would be anyone who has skin issue and wants to get rid of it. This product is mostly to teens with acne problems. People who have insecure about their looks. This product could also be sold to adults because these products are not just for acne, they promise to help the skin.

“It's the Circle of Life”- the Lion King / Blog 3 Comp 1


The number of earths it would take to provide resources to support my lifestyle is 4.8. The number it would take to provide global acres to support my lifestyle are 21.6. My footprint break down is that services are 41%, food 23%, shelter 13%, goods 13%, mobility 11%. The definition of a footprint to me is the resources, services, personal goods and other items we need to survive in a location that has been taken advantage of or destroyed. The deeper/ bigger the worse you have done to our planet. It relates to the broader concept of sustainability because of all the materials we need to survive as humans, to sustain ourselves. Thousands of years ago we humans started out taking from the land and as any evolutionary psychologist would say we have to do that to survive even in newer worlds to come. We use this measure to interpret our life choices because the resources and goods and services we use are what we think we need to survive .We actually waste more than what we have to live. We don’t think about what we need to give back to equal out the balance. We just take and take and eventually we won’t have any more. This has made me see that all those times of going to Disney’s Epcot in the Land area and watching the short little film “The Circle of Life” was important. The Disney website even states “Kids and adults alike can learn about the importance of protecting our planet in this animated and live-action 20-minute film featuring the rambunctious Simba, Pumbaa and Timon from Disney's The Lion King.”  (http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/parks/epcot/) (attractions )I guess you can learn on vacation. :) One area where I can reduce my own footprint would be the services. I could cut back on using so much electricity. I constantly leave lights on. I have my lap top on plug in charging every night and day even when I’m not using it. I have a game system plug in all the time even when it not in use along with my T.V., lamp, cellphone charger, alarm clock and computer printer and other house hold items. There’s not one electrical plug that’s not in use in my house. We even have extension cords. I forget to turn things off when I’m done using them or unplug them. One way to cut back would be to make sure I do turn them off and unplug the items. I choose this because this is the most service that I use and take for granted. I know that what I do is wrong but it’s just something that I don’t think about all the time or take care to remember. I want to change that because I know that our planet is in danger and needs help. So I’m attacking the biggest issue I have that is harming my environment. Hopefully after a week I will remember to continue the good habits and help out the planet and save my parents money.  J

Description of a place, Comp 1 Assignment 2

The place I went to was like a scene taken from a movie. When the main guy realizes that he is in love with the girl. It a calming place where you can sit out watch the sun set, read a book, go on a date or many other activates. The calming water leads your eyes to the houses across that are as big a mountain. You feel the hot sun beaming down on you cool body, with a little cooling from the quickly passing wind. You can hear noises from the people talking or playing football in the road right by the dorms or volley ball in the courts right by you. You have a place to sit and kick up your feet to relax. A place to have a picnic with all your friends. It has a covering to keep you dry from the pouring rain.  You can smell the salty mixture in the air from the lake floating up in to the area. You can hear the rustling of the trees from the wind hitting the leaves. You’re surrounded by nature and most of the elements. As you slowly move closer to the ledge of the old wood that creates a border you can see tall grass. It make you wounded what creatures may live around. If you closely listen you can hear the buzzing of tiny little bugs flying by. The part that I closely viewed would have to be the than house that look as though multiple of people live in it. It looks like multiple town houses. It a place where a family has a luxury living, that has everything you could ever imagine. A place where the can give their kids anything. A place where you can explore many things. Where you can go in to the lake and find many things like wild life such as frogs and snakes and more. Where the kids can jump in to the lake and enjoy the cold calm swaying waves created from the blowing wind. Where you can have family gatherings and can have an enjoyable time. You can hear the joyful laughter of children. The chattering of grown-ups talking to one another. The smell of the salty lake and of food being cooked. This place is also surrounded by nature tall waving palm trees on each side of the outside wall corners of the house. The house looks as if it is in a forest isolated in collection of trees. This house is a magical place that is in everyone dreams. To have the luxury, and to have a house as big as a mountain where you can live out your fantasy.
