Here is my video for the extra credit assignment! I used my laptop for recording this video and probably my only mistake is I didn't looked in the camera directly. Unfortunately I ended up spending more time in compressing, which actually ruined the quality of the video, I hope it will look good if you watch in a small screen. But altogether I enjoyed a lot making this video.<br />
Thanks!!!<br />

Here is my video for the extra credit assignment! I used the front camera on my phone and it was a bit awkward at first, as you will see. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know!</div>

I met Jaylen in my art class at the start of this semester. Jaylen is a tall fellow with dark skin color and black hair and often times is in some kind of superhero themed shirt with a goofy smile sprawled across his face. We became friends quickly after the semester started resulting in occasionally getting in trouble for talking. So after a bit of thinking I decided that due to his behavior he would be a good person for the interview. What I found throughout the interview was that he was rather knowledgeable about his goal. So I Originally met up with him in the art room on the 18th of April in 2016(understandably unwise on my part but I had more than enough time) and interviewed him after art ended. This is how it went even if it were unconventional.</span></div>

Just to get a rather quick and precise reply from Jaylen stating I want to be a game designer. I admittedly wanted to know more so I dug a little deeper asking “How long have you wanted to be a game designer?” Jaylen just started to laugh as he quickly responded with “Since I was three years old”. Admittedly I found that odd but that got me thinking so I wondered and asked “How far are you willing to go to achieve your dream?” Jaylen paused for a moment and you could see just how he struggled to describe it . “I’d say pretty far since I’m taking classes to further my skills and already have a slight idea on how to code by messing with games that already exist”. After that I have to admit I was going to be very blunt because it really struck my curiosity and it just slipped “Would you call yourself eccentric?” Jaylen just looked confused at me and asked “Eccentric, Isn’t that the good kind of crazy and unpredictable?” I sat there wondering because he wasn’t wrong sometimes it was good and I saw it as such so I responded with “yes”. Jaylen just sat there quiet then started looking at the ceiling for a few seconds until he finally spoke” hm, yeah I’d say so, so yes I do believe I’m eccentric”.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">After a few apologies for flat out asking if he was crazy I wandered back into the big topic and asked “How long do you think or at least wish to be able to achieve your goal?”. Jaylen just put went into a thinking pose with his chin resting in between his pointer finger and his thumb and after a few seconds passed “at this rate hopefully 3-4 years”. Suddenly it struck me to ask, “Any major reasons that being a game designer is your dream?” Without any hesitation he grew a big smile and Said “I grew up around videogames because there were very little options other than videogames or to, reason being there were very little we could do outside because of housing and often times just didn’t feel like going outside so I just played videogames feeling that it was more productive”. Letting that sink in though it took a bit I inquired (rather badly) “Any major influences”. Jaylen just looked confused as he asked “in the past?”. If I weren’t in an interview I would have face palmed at my failure to ask a question “No I meant in the present sorry”. He just said ok and went on with informing me “Then the yearly salary has to be the major influence because holy cow that’s a lot. I mean the lowest amount I found while researching was 700.00$ yearly salary”. Admittedly I was surprised by this responding with rather loud and unexplainable noise that made Jaylen lose it. After I collected my thoughts the game of 2o questions began again with “What is your opinion on the videogame industry?”. Jaylen just shrugged and said nonchalantly “ok I guess, I mean I feel it is doing well but commonly has publicity issues unless it’s a big title”.</span></div>
<span id="docs-internal-guid-eeec5355-4e63-40c6-a574-b3052c3d1dc4"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Understanding the time restraints I said “okay last question any media tv, games that influenced you”. Jaylen responded with “the big popular games that everyone knows”. I kind of just mentally stopped than asked “Any particular examples?”. And Jaylen excitedly stated “Pokémon definitely Pokémon, if there’s anything bigger I haven’t heard of it”. All I could chuckle and thank him for his time resulting in him not paying attention and almost running into the door as he walked out which admittedly made me laugh even harder seriously I did not think I could laugh hard enough to struggle breathing just to see his goofy grin walk away.</span></span>Gabehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12280229197621963875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927575513017457094.post-88733675077713402712016-04-25T09:31:00.002-07:002016-04-25T09:31:56.123-07:00Interview by Lali Lakatos<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCX145004">

She said that she would like for it to be mainly pink and white in color, along with having a main display case for the desserts and different types of coffees available. Essentially, she said that she did this because she enjoys making people feel comfortable and feeling loved, and that she would be successful in doing so by cooking and baking.<br />
However, she's had some struggles that involved trying to find a proper place for the restaurant. Where she lives, it's very hard to make a profit, and moving to a new location would be very expensive in the long run. Hopefully one day, she plans on actually opening up this restaurant and is a part of it. Paraphrased and re-worded, the interview was something like this.<br />
"Was there a life long dream that you've wanted to pursue?" I asked her. She replied, "Well, I've always wanted to open up my own restaurant." I follow with, "What kind of a restaurant?" She answers with, "I'd like for it to be a pink restaurant that's mainly a place for people to be at and for people to feel welcome with my cooking." I ask, "Is that what you're doing it for?" She answers, "Well, I enjoy cooking and baking, and I figured that I could also comfort people with my cooking, and basically create a place for both my children and anyone else."<br />
"I see," I respond. "Well, how come you haven't opened up the restaurant yet?" She replies, "Right now, I don't really have a whole lot of money to move to a big place and try to begin this business. I would do it here, but places here usually don't get much business. However, I'm still holding on and believing that I will open up the restaurant." Finally, I ask, "So with all of this, where do you see it in ten years?" She replies with, "I hope that it's open, and that I'm a part of it," she says with a sort of laughter.<br />

This film really made me think about our cultural habits and some of the challenges and pressures our young people are faced with. I think it's a good resource and starting place for a conversation about technology and social media use.<br />

<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I think no one likes to remember the times when they
experienced failure to accomplish their objectives and their struggle to hold
on in the life. But it is my own painful memories that give me the courage to
rise above and dream beyond what is common.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I had always tried to work hard as much as possible to
achieve better grades but when my world turned upside down in my most crucial
high school years I found it so difficult to focus on studies and so easy to divert
away. Eventually I got a D in my ninth grade and I was almost losing hope in my
studies. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">One day I came back from school to find out that my
grandma was in the ER. She was complaining about chest pain and she was been
taken to the hospital immediately. Later as I patiently waited for her test
results to come back I realized how unpredictable life is. I can perfectly
remember those times as I went to the hospital to see my grandma, there was this
disinfectant used all over the hospital whose smell made me more sad. As I was
about to enter the ER, a doctor came and said, “You must be at least 18 years
old to enter this place,” and I had to go back and sit on the chairs, after a
few minutes my sister came out and said, “She is doing really good, don’t worry,
the doctor said we can take her back home in three days,” I was happy but couldn’t
meet her until the next day and then my sister asked me, “Are you on track with
your homework because I have not seen you doing it for a while,” and I replied “We
can think about it later,” Those moments of helplessness taught me the
importance of time. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I looked in awe at the doctors and nurses and was
thankful to god for having someone to help us in times of distress. They were
super heroes, their selflessness and dedication inspired me to be someone like
them so I can be there to help everyone in times of their distress.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">This time, out of my fears and pain, rose an
inspiration that gave me the courage to dream. I know now not to sulk in my
grief or despair with every hardship. I now have a dream to be a health
professional and I am pursuing my goals with a lot of perseverance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have consistently grown better and better
with my studies. With an aggregate of 67% in 10<sup>th</sup> grade, 88% in 11<sup>th</sup>
and 92% in 12<sup>th</sup> grade (that is a rough estimate) I have understood
that sky is the limit for a hard working.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Although I am very focused on my goal yet I have kept
my possibilities open so as to overcome any hurdles. I have faith in my capabilities
and my family is always there to help, I will keep working towards success.</span></div>

The game I need. What am I holding on to? I'm gripping tightly to my love for hockey. I carry every tradition no matter what. I keep a stick and puck in the back of my car 24/7. I've seen all 3 Mighty Ducks Movie's maybe a hundred times. Miracle still gives me goosebumps when I watch USA finally beat the Soviets. I watched Slapshot too young but man I loved it. If we make the playoffs you can bet on me sporting a mullet. Diving to block shots is a sport in itself for me. I love every part of this beautiful game. Horsing around the airports and hotels, the long and cold bus rides, the suits, the bone crushing hits, the goal horn blaring, and the fans going wild are why I love this game. There is no feeling better in the world than making the move, taking the shot, and watching the puck cross that line. Because that moment of adrenaline is only paired by the uproar of fans that could die happy tonight, because you just scored that game winning goal.<br />
<br />
People have bad days, months, and years. It doesn't matter what is going on in my life, I have never played hockey sad. My mind erases. Its like pressing pause in life. One of my favorite things to do in the world is play pond hockey. Back to basics type hockey. My favorite memory ever took place two years ago when I was living in Boston. The family I was placed to stay with, had two kids that loved hockey. They were extremely good and were only 12 and 14 at the time. We would stay up and check the weather for the next day almost every night in the winter. We were waiting for the temperature to drop low enough for long enough so we could play on the lake by the house. It was a friday in mid January and the lake finally froze. I took a snowblower out and cleaned a decent portion to play on. The boys were in school and it didn't feel right if I played by myself so I brought the boys out of the school. We played for hours. The lake was beautiful frozen. It was surrounded by hundreds maybe thousands of trees. I could not have pictured anything better.<br />
<br />
"When Hell freezes over, I'll be playing hockey there too."<br />

At the beginning I just drew for fun and my teachers always said my drawings were unique and especially my coloring because I am colorblind. The day I found out that I was colorblind I was sitting at the kitchen table at my house coloring in a picture and my brother was sitting next to me coloring also and I wanted to paint the ground green in my picture so I looked so hard for a green marker on the table but I couldn't find one so I asked my brother "hey can you give me a green marker" and my brother said "it is right in front of you" so he reached over and picked it up right in front of me. From then on I always asked my brother to pick out the color marker for me, then my parents saw me doing this and they thought their was something wrong with me so they took me to the eye doctor and the test back positive that I am colorblind. This one time I was coloring the sky purple and I thought it was blue and when I showed my teacher and she said "wow I never thought a sky could be purple" and after that she would always expect something cool in my drawings because she likes seeing how I saw the world. As I grew up my drawings got better and better, in high school my art was hung every time. Between my high school years my drawings started to tell stories and those stories are mostly what is going on in my life. Some stories told happy things like everything was colorful and showed a happy image, but times if I was under stress the colors faded a little and a it showed a image that looked like it was struggling, and in times I was mad there would be no colors mostly just black and showed a dark image. As I continue to draw today I continue to learn new techniques to make whatever I'm drawing become more real and also my color judging got a little better but I think the best drawings of mine are always the unique ones because the color choices I made are different to what other people would have chosen. what I hold onto is my drawings and my drawing techniques if I don't have those I don't know what I would do, I always said to myself "if I ever lost my right hand I would learn to draw with my left." <br />

hardest thing I have ever had to do. It becomes overwhelming and I want to give
up at times but I have to remember why I am doing it. Trying to keep my
relationship together when we have very little time together. I just have to
believe that in four years everything will be different. I get discouraged a
lot when I get behind in a class or do not have time to do a paper. I do all of
this so my son will never go without and my family will stay together. Time is
everything, I have to have my whole day planned and have two babysitters in one
day a lot since I have school and work. Even on the days I want to give up, I
will never give up. If I give up on myself, I will be giving up on my family
and not giving them what they deserve. Writing this has been a struggle of
keeping an infant happy and not crying. Being a mom is the best thing in my
life and the hardest thing in my life but the most rewarding thing in my life.
He comes first before anything else. My family is my motivation for everything I
am doing. I will never let anyone or anything stop me from failing at what I believe
I can accomplish. I have a dream that one day I will not be working two jobs
and I will be graduated from college so that way I can see my son way more than
what I do now. My son will only be little for a short amount of time and I know
I am there as much as possible but I do not want to miss anything. Every second
I have I spend it with him so that way I am there for his milestones. With my
next child I don’t want to worry about missing their milestones because I had
school and work all day. My son has everything he could possibly want and need
plus more but I have to struggle to get him everything extra, one day I will
not struggle to do that for him and that is what he deserves. I cherish every
moment I have with my family and one day I will be able to have another baby
and have everything we have ever wanted as a family. I will be able to say one
day soon “I made it.”</span><br />

Like most people
family is my number one priority. My family is my everything. Through my highs
and lows in my life it is always my family that support me no matter what and
inspire me to be the best I can be. My grandparents are probably the ones that inspire
me the most. They’re 80 years old and are both still sharp as a tack. I always
love going to their house to see them and talk with them. It’s probably the
only thing that can keep me off my phone or any of the other screens I have.
Whenever I go up there we all sit around at the dinner table for hours and just
talk. Probably the main reason I treasure them the most is because my parents
and I aren’t very close to my dad’s side of the family. My dad’s dad died of a heart
attack before I was born so I never got to know him. I only see my grandma once
a year even though we live 15 minutes from each other. There is some bad blood
between my dad and his sister so we never see her and her family. I actually
saw them this weekend for the first time in thirteen years and it was one of
the most uncomfortable moments of my life because I hardly know them. It’s not
that way with my other grandparents and the rest of my mom’s side of the family.
we always keep in touch with each other and always know what’s going on with
everybody. I dream of one day having a family just like that. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
After
graduation a lot was going on. I was finishing up the rest of my track season,
hanging out with my friends before we all went our separate ways, and I would
eventually start my first semester of college in the fall. Once I college
started along I lost touch with my grandparents. I use to try and call them at
least once a week or so and it was already the beginning of December and I haven’t
talked to them in over two months. While I was hanging out with my friends one
night I got a call from my mom. She told me that my grandpa was in the
hospital. My heart stopped. I felt terrible because hadn’t heard from him in
forever it felt like. I immediately left hanging out with my friends and my mom
and I drove up to see him and my grandma. He was admitted into The ProMedica
Toledo Hospital. When we got there the doctors told us that everything would be
fine. He just had some internal bleeding that was being fixed with antibiotics.
We are relieved to hear that he was going to be okay. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
My grandparents
just turned 80 recently and even though they doing good for their age I know
they won’t be around forever. I lost sight of what meant the most to me because
I was so caught up in my own life. My grandparents mean a lot to me and I want
to be there for them when they get too old and can’t go anymore because that is
when they will need their family the most. I owe it to them because they’ve always
been there for me. I want to hold on to them for as long as they are still
here. I also want to try to clear the bitterness and hatred between my dad and
my aunt. After all they’re my family too and I would like to get to know my
younger cousin. I know it will be hard to keep up with everything now that my
own life is starting but I’m going to do my best for my family.<br />

<br />
As far as my personal identity and character relating to something I hold onto, it would primarily be my love for the game of ice hockey as well as my pride for the Detroit Red Wings. It was unfortunately all downhill once I moved to Ohio in May 1997 and later on came to an end when I was 17-18 with my health issues and lack of opportunities in Ohio for ice hockey at the time.<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br />
Growing up in Troy, Michigan, which is about 20 minutes outside of Detroit, the main sport was ice hockey. I suppose you could compare it to how serious people take Ohio State football here. I was introduced to hockey through my neighborhood friends, primarily brothers Scott and Eric G., and along with this came my pride, as well as loyalty, for the hometown Detroit Red Wings of the NHL (National Hockey League), which is the professional ice hockey league composed of the world’s best players.<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br />
I would play hockey with my friends whenever I had the chance. Most of the time it was outside in the driveway on roller-blades and when we had a larger group of people, we would play in the street. Scott and Eric were always willing to lace up and play hockey until the sun set concluding the day. Scott and Eric, along with their mother Mrs. G, were absolutely die-hard Detroit Red Wings fans and I thank them for passing on their passion to me.<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br />
When I moved to Ohio, literally almost no one knew what hockey was. It was terrible. I went from enjoying a sport that was a passion of the entire state of Michigan to a state who thrives on football, which isn’t a bad thing, it just isn’t for me. Luckily, by the smallest chance, my two friends Brendan and Bobby, who lived down the road, were hockey enthusiasts as well as die-hard Red Wings fans! Obviously this was completely unexpected, but it was great to find people who shared the same passions as myself.<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br />
As far as my “career” playing ice hockey, that first started in Michigan as well. I’ll never forget when my parents had to purchase all of the gear. They weren’t too thrilled with the price tag and I wasn’t too thrilled with the used equipment from “Play-It-Again Sports”. This purchase included used pants, that were in OK shape besides a few tears on the inside, a chest protector that looked like it was from the late 1980’s, along with the shin pads that were pretty musty. The elbow pads were pretty beat up too. I wasn’t necessarily disappointed, but it was just a bit strange to be wearing old gear that someone wore out and it was a bit outdated. I think the only pieces of equipment I had that were new were the ice skates, helmet and gloves. As I stuck with the sport and sharpened my skills, I obviously earned new and better gear as time went on. I still have all of my gear at the moment; my hockey bag is in the basement and my three hockey sticks are in my bedroom.<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br />
The feeling of stepping on the ice with razor sharp blades and pressing off, digging the blade into the smooth surface, creating a sound that the only way I can describe would be scraping your windshield clean, but that hardly does anything in comparison to how it actually sounds. Your feet mold to your ice skates making it feel like your feet are one with the blade. You feel the cool chill of the air rushing over your face and it intensifies as you pick up speed down the ice. The feeling of skating backwards as well as crossing-over your skates to cut the angle are both wild sensations as you propel yourself. All of these sensations are amplified when you are playing opponents and you are performing at your very best, but nothing beats the thrill of scoring a goal and earning a win with your teammates.<br />
<br />
My personal pride for the Detroit Red Wings, as well as Detroit, stems back to my time in Michigan, as I stated. The easiest way to spot my pride is when I am wearing a hat; which is frequently, and almost always, one of my Red Wings hats. I'd say I also have pride form living close to Detroit since it was once a great and powerful city that provided ground-breaking ideas as well as jobs and homes for 1.86 million people at its peak. I'd love to see the city of Detroit rebuild itself to what it once was, but that is unfortunately a dream as time continues to tick on and the city continues to crumble.Andyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17752454729141982103noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927575513017457094.post-83646369450837093062016-04-10T17:32:00.001-07:002016-04-10T17:32:23.946-07:00Snapshot 6 Gabrial Alexander Breidenbach<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<div class="MsoNormal">
My name is Gabrial Alexander Breidenbach and the time has
come to disclose information about myself. Growing up life hasn’t been
extremely hard but has had patches that made me want to scream and even want to
give in. truthfully what I hold dear is also reflected in my goal and that is
family as simple as that sounds. I am currently on the road to reach a higher
education to be able to get the money to afford to start a family though
admittedly with that comes the challenge to stay strong and muscle through it. A
recent experience is when admitted I was at home and tired. I was sitting in a
wooden chair glaring at a wall thinking and as I delved into my thoughts I started
to feel really idiotic, insecure, broken even. I had been honestly over working
myself with six days being unable to recover only allowing myself to heal one
day a week before going back into the week trying to get through to the end. While
I sat there all I could really do is wonder if I was doing the right thing, if
my dream was even obtainable. The next thing to strike me was the knowledge
that I knew I lacked. I wished I could learn more things but unlike when I was
younger I am not home long enough to be able to learn what my parents know, I can’t
afford to go somewhere else to learn because of a lack of funds, and I can’t
even continue my serious martial arts training which built me from the ground
up. Never had I felt so broken so pathetic because somehow I felt like where
the frail child of my youth disappeared so did my intelligence and other I can’t
learn anything that I don’t take at the university. To make things worse I had
to endure the thought of work knowing fully well that I wish I could have
called in but due to my car I can’t afford to. I was for once in my life so badly
entrapped in my mind that I was so close to just giving up curling into a ball
and crying and just hope that everything would get better without me because
for once Gabrial Alexander Breidenbach the proud son of Kenneth Breidenbach was
ready to stop fighting so prepared to be washed away in the tide of life and
drown in sorrow. Right as I was on the edge bout to fall and just shatter
leaving only fragments my father walked in. Admittedly normally my dad didn’t help
in situations like this but this time he was exactly what was needed. I remember
looking up to see my dad sit down and when he asked what was wrong all I could
do was just break down explaining the issues I had. Starting with how I felt
rather stupid, then how it hurt that I’m unable to learn a lot of things due to
my lack of money or time, and how I felt that bout the only redeeming quality
was the muscle that I’ve built. My dad just poked me in the arm and when I looked
at him he said “Gabe how long did it take you to break?” Truthfully I hadn’t realized
how long I had been able to endure it before breaking. He just smiled a little
and said “you have muscle yes but you also have endured something that even
worried your mother and I, but now you have learned that you have exceeded what
you can handle”. All I could do is sit there and chuckle a little and realize
that I had accidentally overworked myself again and then over a few hours me and
my dad had managed to help me recover and within the time I needed to get ready
to head out I was ready return to just enduring the rest of the weeks till
summer break where I can learn whatever I can and release myself and lighten
the load for my next semester rather than digging myself a hole to crawl in.
Never had I felt like my goal was that close to slipping away but thanks to my
own family I was able to begin fighting once more and move on forward and that
is why no matter what or how hard life gets nothing and I mean nothing is going
to get me to let go of my family related by blood like my sister, mother,
father, or not Tommy, Danny. Life is to short so the best you got is to hold
what you care for close and just push through because at least for me if I’m
temporarily stuck I feel safe knowing that my family will pick me up and use me
as a battering ram till I’m doing it on my own once more. </div>

I discovered what it felt like to be scared for someone else and their life. Of course I have loved many people before this moment but this time it was different. This time I felt helpless, lost, terrified, overjoyed, ecstatic, and I was just overcome with the most insane amount of emotions. I didn't know it was possible to feel this much. I discovered what love really was on January 3rd, 2015. My nephew had been born. <br />
<br />
Growing up I never wanted to have kids. The thought of having kids made me sick. I didn't understand who in their right mind would ever want to have kids. I think my parents having my younger brother and sister is what made me feel like this. I envied them. I almost hated them. I was 6, almost 7, when my brother Dane was born and thus I no longer was the baby of our family. My sister and I were sidekicks, best friends, and the closest sisters you could ever meet; Other than conjoined twins. I felt like the birth of my brother ruined that. We were no longer alone. Later on I became a babysitter for him 24/7. At least it felt like it. Then came along my young sister, Cailea. By then I knew I would no longer have life because I was stuck babysitting for the next 10 or so years. Basically I dealt with younger kids while I was still a kid and this took away from possible fun I would have been able to have if they weren't born. <br />
<br />
I was sitting in my room by myself. I had just gotten off work so I had just changed into comfy shorts and an old t-shirt. My room had an old bunk bed in it that I use to share with my younger sister and I was awkwardly sitting on the bottom bunk when I got a call from my older sister. I was the first person my older sister, Chelsea, told she was pregnant to. She was terrified and had no idea what she was going to do or how she was ever going to tell my parents. She called me and said, "Caitlin you have to swear to me you are going to keep your mouth shut because no one knows what I'm about to tell you." and I proceeded to say, "Let me guess, you're pregnant?" she responded by saying, "How did you know?!" I was not prepared for her to respond this way. I was almost joking when I asked her. I told her I didn't know and that I was just guessing and she just didn't know what to do or who to call. I instantly got happy. I don't know why I was so happy for my sister who was clearly terrified but I just was. <br />
<br />
Later on when it was time to tell my mom Chelsea had come over to the house and was sitting in my room with me when I finally got up and got my mom. I told her we needed to have a talk and that Chelsea needed to tell her something. My mom walked into my room and I said, "Close the door." she had a smug grin on her face and said, "What's going on?" I looked at Chelsea and started to chuckle a little bit. My mom still puzzled said, "What? What is it? Tell me." Chelsea looked at my mom funny and my mom said, "Oh my gosh, Chelsea are you pregnant?" Chelsea and I were laughing. I finally spoke up and said yes. My mom couldn't understand why I was so happy for my sister. I couldn't understand either. <br />
<br />
Then it was time. We were at the hospital and Chelsea had been in labor since 6am. It was now around 4pm when they told us they were going to break her water and start pushing. I wasn't in the room because there was only two people allowed in. My sisters best friend, Vicky, was there too. We had only been sitting in the waiting room about 5 minutes before we decided to go downstairs and get some fresh air. It had been raining and the air was extremely wet. As soon as we got to the car my dad called me and asked where I went. Then he said we needed to get back upstairs ASAP because Chelsea was already done. 15 minutes later I met the most beautiful little boy named Cayson. He was the most perfect thing I had ever seen. <br />
<br />
I have always been there for my sister and Cayson ever since. He is my pride and joy and there is nothing else above him. I can't get enough of his ornery ways. He won't sit still for more than 5 minutes and that's if you're lucky but I wouldn't trade him for anything in this world. I am so thankful to feel a love like this. <br />

I went to the same school my entire life from Kindergarten up until graduation. Throughout those years, I met a lot of great people and best of all, I met my best friends during those years. I met my best friend in Kindergarten when we were in the same class, and we are still best friends to this day. In 2nd grade one of my good friends now, moved to my school. Then in 3rd grade another one did as well. We were not friends right away, but over the years as we grew closer together from having the same classes and being on the same sports teams we became great friends. We all eventually began to do everything together and became like brothers as we spent so much of our time together. Then finally, all those years later as high school was coming to an end, a few weeks before graduation I was hanging out with some of my friends. We were all standing in the kitchen when Jed, who is younger than us, started getting really upset and sad at the fact that all of us were going to graduate. He began to start to cry, causing another friend of ours to start crying too. As we were teenage boys, naturally we started making fun of them crying over something that dumb (even though they weren't exactly sober). However, that is when it really struck me that maybe we were all going to drift apart and no longer see each other everyday like they were saying, even though I always told myself "No, that won't be us. We will never end up like that". Nearly a year later I have realized, "yes...that actually is us". As we have all been busy doing our own things like college, and getting jobs, we have slowly started drifting apart and that is when I realized that Jed was right the night he was crying. In my opinion we need to hold on to the friendships we made throughout our childhood and teenage years because the people we surrounded ourselves with during our most impressionable years and spent most of our time with are a big part of the reason that we are the people we are now and we should not let go of that.</span></div>

Will Smith said "If you're not making someone else's life better, then you're wasting your time. Your life will become better by making others lives better." I am holding on to my will to help others. I never want to let that go because I feel like that why I was put here on this Earth is to inspire and help people. Here is the story on how I am holding on to helping others.<br />
I started at Tri-Rivers Career Center in my sophomore year of high school. I had no idea what I wanted to do. One day as I sat in the lunch room like any other day. A kid across the room fell to the ground and began seizing. I didn't see a teacher running but a student running that was in the Public Safety class. The student gave medical aide until the fire department showed up. Later I went to the student and I had some questions " Why did you help that kid?" He responded with the best answer anyone could ever say. "Its what we do. I don't expect any reward or parse. I just love helping people and that's why I put on this uniform everyday." I was so motivated by what he said the next day I knew what I wanted. I applied to the Public Safety program. <br />
I went in my junior year wanting to be a police officer. I didn't think I was smart enough to be in anything medical. I worked really hard but just could not fall in love with police work. Matt Wells the EMT teacher pulled me into his office "Stock what do you want to do?" I sat and ponder on the questions. "Mr. Wells I have no idea." Then Mr. Wells wrote my name down for the EMT class. I was so scared to start. My senior year came around and the class started. It was very hard and I didn't like it. Now if you ask an EMT when they fell in love with the job they will be able to tell you. Mine was when I jumped on the medic at Marion City Fire department. My first run I had the Medic said "Stock this is your run tell me what you are going to do and do it". After that it stuck! I was stuck to EMS like glue. <br />
Now I work at Medcare Ambulance in Marion. I still get a big grin on my face and I turn those lights and sirens. I spend a long time with my patients and making them comfortable. I feel like everyone should get a chance to help people because you never know what you'll love.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10286554290375798111noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927575513017457094.post-29862039207485248222016-04-04T09:32:00.000-07:002016-04-04T09:32:44.119-07:00Comments for Tiger Woods presentation: Lucas and Matt<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.285999298095703px;">For your comments on Presentations:</span><br />

Living almost all of my life in India I have realized that I cannot be a unique or eccentric to live in a society like that, I have to do something that other people have already done and are successful. People there usually tell small kids you either be a engineer or a doctor, That's It! Well, of course there are some parents who does listen to their kids and let them do anything they want making them visionary leaders. In my opinion, eccentrics and dreamers are the one who rouse and motivates us to do some thing good out of nothing. Old people usually give this example, "He studied under a streetlight", and now everybody dreams about becoming like him. I usually go around asking eccentrics of how they accomplished their goals, what steps they took to achieve something that's this big, so that we can have an idea and mindset to follow the path of dreamers. After coming here I saw uniqueness in every student, some would do a major in business or arts and then go into a medical school.<br />
<br />
My reading in Holding On is going on really good, It's inspiring to read about the dreamers and visionaries who does a lot of hard work but are still unknown in the world, the stories are short and very interesting, It makes a sense to the reader but on the other hand the story related to a person is not in detail, it just tells us about their dreams and leadership. A question I had was from Robert Shields , even though he writes such long diaries about his life and collected 75 huge cartons filled of paper in his room, does he ever get time to open those cartons and look back in the diaries of what he wrote? And then again he will write in his present diary that he was reading an old diary and what he did, Phew! doesn't make any sense.<br />
<br />
In Miles Mahan, the key theme is Miles created his own museum and sits down everyday to attract customers . Miles reports in the second paragraph that he "built the museum out of scratch". His experience of working in the carnivals helped him built his own museum without having to spend extra money. As he has spend all the money in buying the land, I think he was not left with any money after that to build his museum.</div>
