goodness me.
I am really looking forward to being done with this research paper and project... so much stress will just go away and I will truly be able to enjoy what is left of my senior year :)
Interview question?
So lets just say the person you interviewed has awful grammar...do you fix it on your paper, or actually quote him even though it's incorrect?

Graduation Poem! (Written by Tyesha Johnson)
Only once does one go through here
Leaving a mark behind,
But what the mark ends up to be
Is for you to decide.
Now I know you time is up here
And you're moving on,
But that doesn't mean we'll forget you
Just because you're gone.
Some of you are remembered as Nerds
And others as Class Clowns,
But these labels won't move with you
Unless you let them drag you around.
You can be who you decide
No matter what your classmates say,
YOu can be a famous singer
Or known for brightening peoples day.
You migh become an astronaut
Or maybe a Vet or Nurse,
Or maybe you are a Housewife
For better or for worse.
Maybe you want to dance
Or study Geology,
Maybe you're not quite sure
Just what you want to be.
One thing I am sure of
That I hope, for all, is true,
Is that no matter which way you go
You always believe in you.
If you stop believing
Things will begin to fall apart,
So continue to perservere, work hard
And it will take you far.
It's like you've stitched a quilt of opportunity
Collecting all thse years of dreams,
And instead of cherishing this quilt
You watch it ripping at the seams.
My advice would be to protect the quilt
And make sure it stays strong,
Because if you cherish your opportunities,
Success will lead you on.
I tell you this to encourage you
So one day you can proudly state:
I have worked hard through College
And am ready to graduate.
Today there are goodbyes said
Here, at Shelby, many memories are held,
But now it's Hello to new beginnings
So Good Luck Class of Twenty-Twelve!!!

Learning from The Bluest Eye
Through reading The Bluest Eye I have learned more about myself.
Some of the characters lacked control...just like me. I blame the
way I am today on my past...which is true, but sometimes I use it
as an excuse for my behavior. When Bri was talking about this in
our group it really made me realize that about myself. When am I
going to take responsibility for the way I am? When am I going to
take control and change it? I'm glad we had that discussion. =)
So I guess that'll be my new goal...to take control.
Whether or not I will succeed...I don't know, but I will keep on
fighting.
