If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be and why?
I would change how close minded and shallow people are. I am so sick of everybody judge others on the way they live their life just because it's different. I don't care if the don't approve or if they choose to live life differently but that doesn't mean they need to judge and be rude about it. In my mind, everybody deserves to be happy, no matter what colour, gender, sexual preference, ect. People just seem to be so cruel about things that don't effect them at all.

What is your legacy? What are you leaving behind for others? (or what do you hope you are leaving behind for others)  Another way to think of this question: how do you want to be remembered by future students? Or do they want to remembered at all? If not, why not?
I want people to remember me, defiantly. I want to go into wild life vet care so I can make a difference. Hopefully I can do so much that I am remembered for helping give animals that can speak for themselves a voice. But, honestly, as long as I make a different and leave a make I don't care if people remember me for that. I do hope they do because I try very hard to be helpful to everybody I can and everything that needs me.

If you could create a movie of your life, who would you cast and what would the story be? If I made a movie about my life I would have Pink play me, Jason Alexander as my brother Jerrod, Drake Bell as my brother Clayton, Billy Gardell as my dad, and Malissa McCarthy as my mom. The movie would be about how tough life gets when you get older and all the lessons you can learn for alot of what happens to you. It would be part comidy and party harsh reality.

 This quote means so much to me because every morning I can wake up and dwell on all of the mistakes I have made but instead I think that I am glad I made that mistake because I would rather look back and say, "Why did I do that!?" instead of thinking, "Wow, I wish I would have done that." I have also spent so much time being there for people who are never there for me and trying to make them happy, I still have to learn to just let it go and love the people who love me. Where this quote says, "Nobody said it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it," applies to so much in my life. It comes down to if you go with the easy way then you aren't stong enough to deal with what it takes to make it worth while.

Prompt #7

If you could meet anyone - past or present - who would it be and why?

If I could meet anybody it would, hands down, 100%, no doubt about it, be Betty White. I have loved Betty white since I was a little girl. I would fall asleep in the rocking chair watching The Golden Girls with my mom! She is exactly the kind of old lady I want to be when I get old, she is spunky and doesn't really care what other people think of her and most people actually love her! I think it would be so cool to meet somebody from my childhood and from my teen years.

Prompt #6

What are you most proud of?

I am proud that I have made it this far in life and stayed as strong as I have! I am also proud that I made it through my back surgery. It may not sound like much to a lot of people but it was really difficult because there are so many risks involved. Setting aside all the risks, there is a lot of pain and everyday life adjustments!  I also had to give up a lot too, I was going to try out for some college cheer squads or dance teams, I also had to give up certain things in dance and a lot in cheerleading. I am really proud of myself for keeping an altogether positive attitude about it all.

prompt

What motivates you?

A better life. I am motivated every morning to make my life a little better. You can’t control a lot of things in life that happen but you can control how you live your life and what direction it is headed. Everyday I wake up and think, “Why? What is the point of doing anything?” then I remember not to give anybody else power over my life but myself. I think of my future and how amazing it can be if I just get out of bed and fight. A simple answer to the question is, a better life.

Writing prompt #4

What is your personal credo (belief)?

The biggest thing I feel strongly about is accepting everybody for who they are not what they have done or their past. I understand that their past has made them who they are but I also understand some really crappy things can happen to the best people. Some people don’t get the best life handed to them and end up making some really stupid choices but, life is a game of living and learning. Some of the obstacles people go through in life can play some cruel tricks on the mind. In conclusion, I don’t judge people on what has happened to them or what their life has been like, just on who they are now and where they want to go in life.

The other strong belief I have is that everybody is equal. I am not saying everybody is the “same”, to me there is no norm, just that you are still a person and should be treated like one no matter who you are, where you’re from, what you are worth, or what beliefs you have. It shouldn’t matter what colour your skin is, what family you come from, how much money you have or your religion or lack of religion, a person is a person. I do believe though that if you ask to be treated different than suffer the consequences or enjoy the benefits.

Prompt 3

What characteristics do you value most in a friend? Explain why they are important.

The characteristics I look for in a friend is trustworthiness, outgoing, and honest. I want a friend I can trust because I think that you should only have people in your life that you can trust, but I don't trust anybody anyway. I think it would still better being able to trust somebody but choosing not to rather than not trusting them with good reason. I want a friend that is outgoing and spunky because I like going out, doing things, and having fun, so I like somebody who always wants to go out like me. I also what my friends to be honest and will be upfront with me because I hate it when people hide things from me.  

To me this quote means, sometimes you are given problems you can't control but that doesn't mean to give up on life in general.  There are alot of obsticals in life I have been given that would make it so easy to think that the rest of my life is ruined because it would be so easy to give up. You can't control where you came from, there are alot of things early in life you can't control, your parents, their rules, what they expose you to, how they treat you, health issues. You can control where you are going, you are living your own life don't let everybody, or anything run your life for you. Live your life don't let your life live you.

Writing Prompt #1 :D

If a handful of people can change the world for the worse, then I am certain that a handful of people can change the world for the better.

What will you do do to make this world of ours, which feels so broken right now, a better place?

I want to become a wildlife veterinarian for the simple reason that I want to help all of the life that would normally be fairly helpless in certain situations. I also want to be the voice they never had. We live in a world now that wildlife is viewed as more of a burden than a beautiful part of life. We as humans are so self-absorbed that we are destroying nature and all of the living things in it for the most materialistic reasons. I want to be the help that the creatures need and the voice to make people aware of all the amazing things we are destroying.

I want to speak out against destroying nature because it is something that is so easy to ignore anymore and it shouldn’t be that way

I would also like to minor in psycology because I love helping people with their problems. I want to make those people who need guidence aware that even though you may have been given some crap problems but you can always turn them around and turn them into strength and wisdom.

I have not applied to any colleges yet. I am looking at Iowa State University or University of Texas in Austin, TX.
