Things i would save if my house was on fire.. ( Listography)

Writing Reflection #4

So in the past week or so we have worked a little bit on our moment. The Moment in our lives that changes our lives. When I first heard we were going to be writing our moments, i panicked because i had no idea what i could write about. As i began to think about it, I realized that it really could be anything. There are so many moments in my life that have impacted me and all i had to do was choose one. I wrote about the moment i found out someone really close to me passed away randomly with no warning and in that moment I decided i would never take any of the time with loved ones for granted. Id make sure they all knew how much i loved them because life is too short. Writing about this kind of re opened my mind to the situation and i think it was really good for me to think about it again. Blogging has been a little tough for me lately. Mostly Special additions. Im just not really sure where to start. Im going to need to take some time for those additions and figure them out.

AIBILEEN
I've come to really like Aibileen. She is loyal and caring and strong in her values. I truly hope something really good happens for her by the end of this novel. She is well deserving. It breaks my heart to see how Miss Leefolt treats her baby girl and I think she's very lucky to have Aibileen. One thing i cant wrap my head around, I question it every time I pick up this book is why the blacks and the whites used to be so seperated.Why is there a need for a seperate bathroom for the blacks?The second Aibileen brought Mae to her bathroom in the garage i knew Mae was going to end up going there when her mother got home.  Its crazy what it used to be like in this world and sometimes still can be. Whenever i think about it, I question it. I think that Little Mae Mobley will grow up to love Aibileen and her mother will not be happy. Im also going to predict that Aibileen is going to help Miss Skeeter with her book. She is very unsure about it at the moment because she knows what the consequences could be but i think she will end up helping her. A question I have is WHY did Miss Skeeters mother fire Constantine. Im just waiting to find out and hoping Aibileen will tell Miss Skeeter is the very near future! Thats about all the questions comments and predictions I have for today!

MISS SKEETER
One thing that I love about Miss Skeeter is how different she is from the other white ladies. She wants more in life than a huge house a working husband and loads of money which is more or less how her friends are. She is set on the idea of wanting to be a writer. No matter how much her mother tells her not to try, she does anyways. She knows what she wants and she goes out there and tries to reach that goal. My question is, Is she going to make it as a writer? I think she has the determination and skills to do so but will Elaine Stein(senior editor, adult book division) ever agree? Miss Skeeters family and friends really want her to find a man in her life. That's her mothers dream and her friends are finding men to set her up with. From what ive read up to date, its pretty clear to me that Miss Skeeter isn't really looking for a man right now. Im wondering is she going to end up with one or not? I predict that she will not find a man by the end of the book. I think she will go far in her goal to be a writer and thats all it will take to make her happy at this point in her life.

I wouldn't Be Me Without Family
picture done by:Carson Samson


  I feel so lucky to have been born into the family I was born into. I have a close relationship with each and everyone of them that I wouldn't trade for anything.  Each of them have a special place in my life. They have helped me through the hard times and smiled with me through the good times. They're the funniest people i know. They can always make me laugh. My family has taught me soo many things. Growing up with them has shaped me to be who i am today. Were a solid family and I love them all to pieces. The picture I chose is a picture of my family jumping. We all look like were having a blast and it makes me happy.

Jesus Saved Me I Will Follow
picture done by:Tribal Cross Geocoin - Antique Gold


  I love Jesus. He is a HUGE part of who i am. Ive gone to church all my life learning more and more about him and what he did for me and everyone and i feel like every time  I learn more or talk about it more, I feel more of a deep understanding of what he's done. He died for me. He saved me. He saved all of us. I don't think i can explain in words how amazing Gods love for us is. Its indescribable but its never ending and that seems incredible to me. I want to follow him, he does great things. I will always make mistakes because I'm not perfect, not even close. But I do want to try and be more like him. I chose this picture because it represents how he saved me and i thought there wouldn't be a better way to describe my memoir through a picture.

Happy for sister, sad she's leaving. 

   My sister is my best friend. She's been there for me my whole life and helped me through so much. She is engaged and will be getting married in August. I love her and i love her fiance. He is an amazing guy who makes her happy which makes me happy. He is like a brother to me. I"m so excited for them. Wedding planning is so much fun and it makes me excited just thinking about all the events of the wedding. One of the reasons why am I am so happy for her is because she's an incredible girl who deserves nothing less then THE BEST! She is beautiful inside and out and I'm so happy that she is getting that once in a lifetime chance. Even though i could not be more happy for her, honestly I'm really sad shes leaving. Its going to be strange not having her around the house and I'll definitely have to get used to it. I found this picture of a bride and groom on their wedding day and it reminded me of my sister and her fiance. It will definitely be an adjustment when she leaves but when it comes to the day and it will be the best day of her life and will be so happy like the couple in the picture, i will be too happy for words for the two of them.

Excited to graduate, scared for afterwards...

       I haven't really thought about graduating until this year. Before, I used to just go on with my everyday life. It felt like school was going to last forever.Its normal going to school everyday. It makes sense that this year has started to hit me that school isn't forever because its my last year, its just hit me really hard. Im always thinking about it. Ive realized that that there are two main points that im constantly thinking about. First, im extremely excited for grad!  Its fun getting prepared for it, looking for dresses and shoes, planning everything out. Over all, its going to be an amazing day for all of us. Second, I've noticed how nervous i am for after graduation. Im the kind of girl who gets used to how the way things are and when they change, it forces me to step out of my comfort zone. For university and for everything else, I just wonder where life will take me and frankly, that scares me. The reason I chose this picture is kind of obvious. They look so happy on their graduation day. Im so excited to feel the way them in the picture look. It makes me think about how happy that day will be and when it gets to that point, im hoping Ill be ready to go into the next chapter of my life with no fear but, tons of happiness and excitement!
