Over spring break I baby sat my niece. Her name is Jvionna. She is 2 years old and is quite a handful. I had to keep her entertained because shes not like all the other little kids that once you turn the TV on they're hooked. No this little girl is very active. I took her on a walk. I took her to the park and played with her till she got tired. She may be a handful but she is the funniest little thing. she makes my day every time I see her.
Seeing my life as a text is very odd. Not everyone thinks of their life like that. When starting school here at Csun, i knew it was a new chapter in my life. Moving into a different environment and having to change my life and put most of my focus on school is a new challenge because this is whats going to determine my future. Every little mistake or improvement can change my path. Its crazy to think that any little thing you do can change your life forever. But I feel as if I am just starting my life. I am going to go through obstacles but mistakes are stories to tell. Just like everyone says "you learn from your mistakes." Maybe it will help someone else in the future.
I started out my spring break in San Francisco. I had a blast out there visiting my brother and also visiting the city. The vibe out there is totally different then LA. Being in the city can be very stressful because there's people walking every where! and having to look for parking is a pain in the butt. But other then that the views from being down town were amazing. My sister and I went on a boat ride under the Golden Gate Bridge and it also went around Alcatraz. I probably wouldn't want to live there though because it takes FOREVER to get to where you want to be. Its just a great place to visit.
The kind of baggage that I had brought with me in the fall was all the rude and discouraging comments some of my family members had told me through out high school. They would always tell my brothers and sisters that they thought I wouldn't graduate high school or go to college. They were never supportive and always put me down when ever I would see them. Before I moved out for college they told me that i probably wouldn't make it through the first semester and that I would drop out. I always told myself that I shouldn't listen to them all I need is my immediate families encouragement which is my mom, dad and brothers and sister. I know i have their support for whatever I do. By the end of fall semester I was stressing out about my finals and all I could think about when I wanted to give up was those people who put me down which made me want to give up even more. But I set that all aside and did what I have been doing since high school and that is to show those people that I am better then what they think. Spending the winter break with all the family that did support me helped me so much to get rid of all that negativity and coming into spring semester leaving all that bad baggage behind.
A lot of us don’t know how we can relate to the Vietnam War. When professor Wingate asked our class “how can we relate to the Vietnam war?” I was confused. I didn’t understand how our generation can relate to the Vietnam War. But doing some research i find that our generation is so lucky because we do not have to be drafted. Our generation gets to choose if they want to be in the military. I find it so sad that kids our age had to be taken away from their families to serve in a war that was so unnecessary. Also the Vietnam war is the reason to why we are considered to be adults at 18. Males that were 18 and older were the ones who were drafted. If people still got drafted now I don’t think they would survive. Sounds kind of mean I know, but it’s true. Some people don’t appreciate what they have. Kids now days have everything they want which bothers me about this generation. They don’t care about where their food comes from or how hard their parents work for their money. Some people don’t realize these kind of stuff until something bad happens in their lives, its almost like an eye opener for them. Reading about how bad the Vietnam war took a toll on the US makes me appreciate my life now.
Before this class i have joined this website Tumblr. I heard people talk good and about this website. its either an amazing website or it is just totally boring and dumb. I have found it pretty interesting. tumblr is a place where anyone can express anything and everything. i like to see the beautiful photography that people post everyday. i also like that everyone is so random and post the most random things ever, but its something that makes me smile sometimes.
A few months ago I went to my first concert. I went to a jay z concert. It was the most amazing experience ever. My sister had two extra tickets and decided to give them to me. I took one of my good friends. She was so excited when I told her I had tickets for jay z. when we arrived to the Honda center I had these weird butterflies. I don’t know why but my friend and I felt like we were the only young kids there because everyone seemed older. When I walked into the arena , I was amazed on how big it was. We got there pretty early so it was empty. Our seats weren’t the best as you can see in the video, jay z looked tiny. But it was still awesome. We sat next to these group of people that were already drunk and also high but they kept us entertained while we waited for jay z to come on. Jay z of course was late, the show was supposed to start at 8:30 but he didn’t come out till 9:30. His show was pretty short but he performed some really great songs. The song in the video is Big Pimpin’, a classic.
