What Inspires You

There are many things in life that inspires me. But it usually just depends on what I am wanting. There are many people in this world that has influenced me and has made me want to be like them , and I am truly grateful. Yet at the same time there are many people who have inspired me to be complete opposite of them. They have influenced me to strive for better and to avoid all the mistakes they have made in their life. But besides all the people who have inspired me, the main thing that really gets me going is the passion for drive and the passion for life. To push forward in life and make it a successful dream is what I want to make a reality. I love the thrill of not knowing what a new path will take you on and all the experiences it has to offer. The passion  for drive and life inspires me to take what I have and apply it to my life and use it to its fullest ability. It is one thing you can never lose but always use to help achieve your greatest dreams and inspire others.

Now What?

This year has been difficult and we have all been through a lot. A new teacher will be very challenging. I really want to get through this year and accomplish more even through the difficult times to come. I want to be able to take the things I learn and apply it to college, and many other things to make my life a success. I want to be able to rely on my teacher as well as my classmates to help make this class a success. It will be very challenging and difficult to have to start all over again, so I would like to keep things somewhat the same. Like our daily writings or change it to reading on the long days like how we used to have it. I want to not only change and make a difference in this class but I want to bring something back that will remind us all about Ms. Mckenna. She was the reason I joined this class and I feel like her memory is slowly going away as we cover up her things and change what the class was supposed to be about. I want to have a fun class that not only helps me lead to success, but I would like a class that will be memorable.

I really like the layout and color scheme that they used. I also really liked the way the direction they took the "what i've learned" assignment. The picture is what originally caught me and pulled me in to see how it related to the post. It is really relateable to everyone and I suggest everyone make a chance to read it.

I also really liked the layout and background they used. It really focus on the important stuff like the writing she provides. I really enjoyed the post "In my Bag" because it was truthful. And majority of the items can be found in mine. I like how it's very relateable to other girls and just overall says whats up.

Even though it doesn't have much color except for the cool picture on top. I really liked how it just shows her amazing writing. I really enjoyed her anxiety post, but my favorite was remember. It spoke the truth and I really loved how she dedicated it to one special teacher I care about. Her words about Ms. Mckenna really spoke to me and touched my heart. I really recommend you read it and I hope you get that warm feeling of remembrance and that it brings a smile to your face like it did to me.

What I've learned

Ever since October 15 many things changed for the good and for the bad. Things happen in life that we wish we could understand but in reality nothing goes as planned. Since that day, that very memorable day, a part of me changed forever. We all lost someone who meant such a great deal to us. And it is very difficult to deal with. But this realistic moment helped me realize what truely matters, Life. We all need to take our mistakes and change them. We all need to take all the sad memories and make them filled with laughter. We need to forget the horrible past and make the future unforgettable. Life is life and we can't take things for granted. It's not going to be handed to you on a silver platter. There isn't going to be a perfect day, ever. It may seem like it to you but to someone else it's not. We all need to help one another get through this crazy world. We all need to live life to it's fullest. We all just need to take all the bad in the world and throw it behind us. And every single person needs to be thankful for what they have and use all the love they get from this world, to make it through and live an unforgettable life.

I really like the background and color scheme she used. Her What I've learned segment is really relateable and is very true. I liked everything in it and what it all had to say because we all have similar feelings about what we all have learned.

Besides the interesting and pleasing background. I really liked the "Here's to looking at you, Kid" post.  Even though it wasn't assigned I really enjoyed reading it and what everything means to them. And what really touched me was the "It means looking at the ones you love, when you know that looking is the closest you'll ever be to them."- just very touching and beautiful writing.

ABC
I really liked the background and layout that ABC presented. It was different. I really liked scrolling through the different posts but what I liked the most was the remember post about music. It was relateable to me because music is in my life everyday whether its playing outloud or in my head.

I really like the remember segment she posted. It was quick, simple, yet many people have the ability to relate to the quotes. Some quotes really stood out to me more than the others, especially "Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others." -Audrey Hepburn.

I really liked the background and how you were able to see the whole image yet read all the blog posts that were there. I liked how it was organized and how the writing was really good. I really enjoyed reading the discrimination post by Kenneth Rexroth.

I really liked the organization in their layout. I really enjoyed reading their posts it had a very unique style to it. I also liked how to make their blog different, they provided quotes between each post that were simple yet very straight to the point. I really liked them. 

Gratitude

Gratitude can mean many different things to many people. To some people it has a more powerful meaning in certain aspects. It has the ability to dig deep into someone’s heart and pull out a part of him or her that no one has seen before. It can take you on an emotional stroll leading you to happiness and gratefulness. It has the power to show others how much they mean to you without physically being there. Every individual voice has the strength to show everything without having any sound be heard. No matter how your day is, happy or sad, Gratitude is in your life. So express it while you can while life is still here, cause you never know exactly when that might just disappear.
