Functional or dysfunctional family

I believe that living in a household that has a family member drinking heavily and possibly having an alcoholic in it; it would lead into a dysfunctional family. The reasons being that family member would be coming home at any times of the night or even morning and possibly being violent. It is proven that 1 out of 5 kids in America are also affected by having a family member that is an alcoholic in the family; they tend to not focus in school, not to have friends and to also have a depression.

                I would say that a functional family would be there and support a family member if they were going through those troubles and try to get them help, which would show the love and support that is actually within the family. They wouldn’t be spending their spare money on liquor or things that they don’t need, they would use all of it on items that they need for them or their family.

Mcdonals Ad

Mcdonald's had an ad asking what would you trust more touching?, it was a picture of a kid grabbing chicken nuggets and then the other picture was of a someone petting a Pit Bull. This is the ad to the right, it didn't make me happy at all because I am an owner of a Pit Bull and grew up around them and have never been bitten or even growled by one.

Most people do judging of Pit Bulls from past stories that they hear about the breed being in fights and etc. It really is all upon who raises them and how they are treated when they are raised.

Social Networking

I think everyone in the world at this point is always using social networking websites, for example Facebook and/or Twitter. When something happens in anyones life or around their own life everyone in society seems to always put it on one of the social networking devices instead of telling someone with a phone call.

I use Facebook myself and always use to be on it when it first had been established, now I go on about two times a week and normally only check when my friends and family have been up to and then maybe update my status sometimes.

My Career Choice

Ever since I was little I have had a love for animals, I always loved taking care of them and making sure they are healthy.  I grew up with two dogs which were medium sized, one named Mayo and the other named Diablo meaning devil because he would always get into trouble, then one cat named Flosi  and one hamster named Nanook. I would always exercise all of them and make sure they all got their breakfast and supper.

I made my choice of going into the Vet tech program when I got into my freshman year of high school all I had to then think about is what college to attend to.  I looked through multiple colleges and then chose Rochester community and Technical College to attend because it is right in Rochester and then I can continue with the job that I had.

I would like to then further my education after getting my degree for Vet tech into a full veterinarian. This would be a total of eight or more years to complete but I know that I would have the strive to accomplish it. I can’t wait until I graduate because then I will be doing something every day that I love doing.

My Great Grandma Flo

My Great Grandma Flo is 99 years old and is in a nursing home now because of breaking her hip falling down in her home.  I always remember going over to her house when I was little going over to her home and I was step in and immediately smell chocolate chip cookies that would just melt in my mouth as soon as I took a bite. When I first step into her home I would always notice a wooden owl clock on her wall that would always go off to the hour and make a “who who” sound. Her going into the nursing home made me really sad the day that I found out, I went in there right away and noticed the smell of the nursing home of everything being sterile and clean.

We would always go for a walk when I would be in town. The paths that we took would amaze me with the views of the lake Pepin with all the boats the size of buildings on it. The sidewalks would have old cracks in them indicating how long that path way had been there. The sun would shine down onto the lake and just shimmer across it, it was such an amazing sight.

My uncle managed a restraunt that was called The Port Of Call, we would end our day there with a slushie for myself and then a glass of wine for her. Everyone there would welcome us when we walked in saying hi and sometimes even giving hugs, it put the biggest smile on my face.

Insperation Song

The song that inspires me the most right now is I don’t want this night to end by Luke Bryan. Every time I listen to this song it just reminds me of where I have came in life and that I was the girl that was having those good nights that I didn’t want to end but they needed to because of me needing to go to work and to continue to succeed in my life. I have came far in life and I see myself as the country girl that is in this music video that is having fun but knows what is best in the end.

I also was the girl that had the pickup truck that would just rock out to country every time I got into the truck. This song reminds me of myself also because I would always love to have fun and be with my boyfriend that I have had since high school, he has inspired me to do what I want in life and what I feel is right. I had put everything I had into that truck because it was considered my "baby", I did everything to keep that truck in the best condition I could.

Country songs really inspire me and help me do homework, its something about the lyrics and the melody that calms me down and relaxes me enough to have to do my homework and do it to the best of my ablility. As I was writing this blog I was listening to a bunch of songs of the country genre.

Expressing myself through writing

Writing has always been a passion for me, I use writing to express my feelings and find it easier. I have always been able to tell stories through experiences that I have had myself and then let other people read it and let me know what I need to improve on for my writing. I always like to go to my table right next to my fireplace and turn it on and start writing until I have everything on the paper.

The only troubles I have with writing are having the sentences flow together in a good order so that the reader doesn’t get confused while reading it. I feel like I lose the reader before the end of the story, That is one thing I would like to improve in my writing so that I don’t lose my readers. Along with other writing concerns that I have I would like all the feedback that I can get so that I can improve myself.

            When reading other writers work I do get ideas for my own writing so that I can improve.  I read a lot of books and writings from other people so that I can get an idea of other genres also, so this semester I would like to improve and get all the feedback that I can so that my writing can be the best of my ability.
