Dogs

I love dogs so much, being able to pet and hold a dog makes me so happy. I have two dogs right now, one is an American Bulldog-Pitbull mix; we got her when she was 8 weeks old, and to this day she is one of the most important things to me. Her name is Coco, and she's the most loving, well-listening, trained, excited dog you'd meet. We got her in December of 2016 and when we got her my parents spoiled the heck out of her. My mom bought her so many sweaters and toys it was crazy. We were all just so excited to get a dog we didn't know what to do. We ended up training her ourselves, and to this day she is yard trained, potty trained, everything trained. She listens so well. Then my sister kept talking about wanting a German Shepherd and in February of 2020 we ended up getting a full breed German Shepherd, Her name is Daisy, and she's 1 in a half. I cannot explain how big she is, she looks like she's years older than Coco because Coco is such a small dog. I can admit that training Daisy was a lot harder than training Coco, we were going to have her get trained at Landheim, but we ended up pushing through and doing it our selves, she behaves almost as good as Coco, she's not quite there yet.

Fall

 Fall is coming around. That means so many different things. The weather dropping a lot, no more scorching, parching endless days. More time for sweaters and boots, or sweatshirts and sweatpants. Sitting on the couch wrapped up in the fuzziest, most comfortable blanket, sipping on some hot chocolate. Curled up stoked about watching some Halloween movies; to prepare you for, in my opinion, one of the best holidays there is. Not to mention the pumpkin patch is on, and you know what that means, warm donuts, with a cup of hot apple cider, wandering through the tall trees and fields of the orchard trying to find the perfect apple/pumpkin to pick out.

Family&friends

 

In all the toy story movies, they are portraying friendship, and what it's like to have something that means a lot to you; and for those things to get taken from you, and thrown out like they were nothing, just some old toys you used when you were a kid. In the first couple movies Andy was very attached to his toys, he always came home and played with them up until he couldn’t anymore, and then as the movies go on, and he starts to get older, he doesn’t use his toys as much, and they start to sit around on his floor; they eventually get put in boxes and pushed outside like they were nothing, even though Andy knows they were a very important memory to him. It makes me and us as the watchers remember all the things we have in our life that we cherish and would do anything for, and in the moment we don’t think about those things being taken from us because we are enjoying what we have, but watching the most recent movie you can see how he is without his “toys” and it makes you sit back and think, “Where would I be without …..?” And how would my life change if I didn’t do this a certain way. You start to question the things you do and the choices you're making because with that thought in your head that one day maybe losing those things that are so close to your heart; you make every decision like it's your last.

My Future

    For a long time I have known what I've wanted to be when I grow up, a lot people's childhoods minds were set on things like, a firefighter, a police officer, a doctor, or a teacher. When I was younger I always had an urge to be an eye doctor. I didn't get glasses until the second grade, but even before that being an eye doctor interested me.

        Since covid has happened I have seen how multiple business are being shut down, and losing a lot of workers. I enjoy helping people, and if that means helping someone find the perfect pair of glasses, or help them with an eye problem, then I am all for it.

        There are two types of eye doctors I would love to be. An optometrist, which is the main eye doctor that you have your yearly eye checks up, or an optician, which is the eye doctor that performs the eye surgery on you. Both of these things interest me, although one is harder than the other to achieve; these past couple years have taught me that I am up for any challenge that is thrown at me.

First week of college

    

        The night before the first day of college I had mixed emotions, I was dreading waking up early and going to school, but I was also excited to start this new chapter in my life and be able to meet new people. I woke up the morning before school more excited than ever, but deep inside me I had some fear. I knew where all my class were and what buildings were what. I was confident that I knew what I was doing

         On Monday I walked into my chemistry lecture thinking, it's the first day of college it won't be too bad; little did I know he wanted us to read over the syllabus, go over a few things, and then introduced himself. After that he started to lecture. Since I haven't been in a in person class since March 2020, I was still stuck in the high school phase. It was pretty stressful and overwhelming my first week of college with having notes on top of notes, and homework due every Sunday, and maintaining a job.

         My first week of college has taught me that school isn't a joke anymore and I can't procrastinate my way through things anymore. In college you have to stay on top of your work if you want to make it through. College professors don't care anymore if you miss class or don't do your work; they aren't worried about what you do and don't do. It's up to me to stay on top if everything if I want to graduate on tine.
