It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you...

My Grandmother, Jessie Marie O'Dell, was everything a great Christian should be. The way she lived is the way many people would aspire to do so. Everyone in the city of Bristol knew who she was and that she served a great God. When she left this earth on Monday October 17th, 2011 she went to walk the streets of gold with her loving husband. My grandmother basically raised me and I still have all the great memories, from taking me wherever I wanted to go to teaching me to cook. She is everything I could ever hope to be. When things would be bad at home she was there. She would come and comfort me. My grandmother grew up ina house full of boys when her sister died, but yet she still managed to have the love and effection every grandmother should have. She tought me how to believe whole heartedly in what I believe in and stand strong no matter what anypne has to say. My grandmother was im inpiration in life. Ging through hard times or sharing laughs in the park together, she brought she much to this world that no one can replace. She will always be remembered, and no matter what I know she is with me even when her physical body is gone. She still lives in me and I know that will stay true for the rest of my life. Rest in peace Grandma, you mean the world to me...

A friendship to last a lifetime..

I was always told that the friends you make your freshmen year will be friends that last a lifetime. Sarah Lampl and Jessica McEnaney are those friends for me. I know that I can go to those girls for anything that I need help with and they will be honest with me no questions asked. They are always there for me when I need them. They are two of the most honest people I have ever met so I know that they will always be real with me. If I want to go out hey are my go to girls because they definitely know how to have a good time no matter who may be around. I can always be myself when they are around because they know the real me. They know what I am all about and they are two of the most trust worthy people that I know. I can confide in them for absolutely anything at all.

Jess is from New York but lives right here in North Carolina. She is a person that can have fun even in the most awkward of situations. She listens to anyone that needs someone to talk to and you can guarente that no one else will hear it. She loves to be there for people in their time of need. Me and her both have our share of father issuse. Knowing this I also know that if I ever need someone to talk to about what happens with my dad I can turn to her. She has always helped me out when I needed her and I know that, that is not going to change. She has to be one of my best and most trust worthy friends that I have ever had. She may be little much to handle sometimes but I love having her around because she is always so much fun and she can change everyones mood with just a few simple words.

Sarah ,also known as La Sarah, is one of the most honest people God could have put on this earth. She is from Pennsylvania and you can tell. She does not care who you are, if she has a problem with you she tells you. If she thinks what you are wearing looks bad she will tell you. If you come to her with problems she tells you how she would handle it. Having fun is one of La Sarah's favorite things to do. Se loves going out and having fun which makes it easy to be around her. However, if you cannot stand the truth than she would not be someone you would need to be with. The only time she really shows compassion for your situation is if you ask her to be light with the honesty. She will not sacrifice honesty for anything.

Friendship can be some of the best relationships a person can have. When you are with a true friend one fight can is worth every laugh. You have your ups and downs but knowing that through it all your friends are never going to leave your side makes this life worth living. You have to have people to trust and confide in. People to be totally stupid with. A best friend is someone who does not help you up when you fall but falls beside you because they are laughing so hard. A best friend is not the person you call to bail you out of jail, but the person in the cell right next to you. If you want my deffinition of a true best friend it would have to be Jessica McEnaney and Sarah Lampl.

The half way point..

At the half way point I can honestly say that I believe that blogging has helped me to get better at writing. I have not ever been the best at writing that is for sure but this class has helped me. Instead of writing long drawn out papers about a specific topic we get to write about somethings by choice and even what we were told to write were things that I could get into writing easily. I enjoy being able to make a limit myself instead of having a certain page number or word count. Not only did blogging help but doing the Prezi was also a fun experience for me to be able to learn new forms of writing and  different ways to tell people about things. Writing class has got to be, without a doubt, my favorite class this semester. We learn so much but it is not busy work it is fun work. Work that does npt even feel like it should be called real work at all. I love when professors give us the responsibility to do our own thing and actually trusts us. Some just treat us like we are all little kids still. Being in a class like this has taught me a lot about not only my peers but myself as well. I am just glad that I got the chance to be able to do the things we do.

Editing Reflection..

When editing blogs I find it to be easier just to read the blog over again and figure out your mistakes that way. It is a lot easier because you do not have to go through the whole recording process and you getthe same results from both blogs. Hearing it did help a little more but in the end it is just easier to read it to yourself because when you read it you can see what you hear when you listen to it. Of course when you read it out loud then you can get an even better judgement on the mistakes that could possibly be there. This is a good thing for bloggers to look into doing because it helps with spelling and grammer.

Favorite Video Game..

My favorite video game would have to be the old school Donkey Kong on the Gameboy. I really do not play a lot of video games so this would have to be one of my favorites out of the few I have played. This game was just about all I did when I was growing up and I loved it. If I still had that Gameboy I would most likely still play it. Me and my sister would spend hours everyday playing this game. It was most definitely one of the best games of my time growing up. It is the only game I could really get into because I was the kid that would rather be outside playing than inside playing video games. I have never been much on sitting inside on a pretty day..Or a rainy day for that matter!

The Beauty of Nature

The beauty of this earth remains oblivious to some poeple. They live their lives day by day not paying attention to all the things around them that create a better place to live. Most people just pay attention to the rough parts of the world or the man made beauty, but we have majestic views such as the one above in Brasil that not to many people even know exist. When I see pictures like this one it makes me wonder why someone would even want to destroy the world like is being done today. Before to long the human population will have destroied beautiful structures such as this one, and at what cost. We are slowly ruining this world and we have no reason to.

This image is a beautiful, remarkable creation that God has given us a chance to have in our lives. We are lucky to have a God that will create something so amazing for us to look at! Why waste time tearing it a part when we should be admiring it.

The Creator

The Creator has a soul like no other. A heart that lives to find new life. A Creator is someone that acts upon individuality. A Creator brings life to a dead situation. Being a Creator takes a lot of strength and courage. To be able to creat without thinkning is a talent greater than most could understand. It takes not only a good heart btu a good spirit as well. A Creator brings joy to a depressing time and can work through most things. When a Creator enters a room the vibe or situation is usually changed to fit their personality. Some of lives greatest desires are invited by the Creator. It is a tough life as a creator but someone has to do it. And what is better than speaking of a Creator is being a Creator.


Becoming a Creator is not the simplest of people to become. It usually depends on the life that you have grown up in. In my case not having my dad around through my high school and middle school years is what made me a Creator. You learn to care about the people around you ten times more when you know what it is like not to have them there. Creating a good life from something so bad is what is a key factor in becoming a Creator. Now don't get me wrong I have had a pretty good life with just me and my mom, but it would have been nice to have had my dad around. With my life I had to create a father figure from someone who didn't know where I came fro, or understand my situation full. However, in the process things started to change. After I was able to create that for myself creating things for other people and situations became easier for me. My life began to open up and I quickly learned what I am meant to do on this earth. God made my life hard for a reason. He wanted me to able to help other people create a good situation from a, pardon my french,shitty situation. Being a Creator is no simple task but it is worth every second I spend on it .
