"The Notebook"

The Notebook is one of my favorite movies yet. It is about an elderly man named Noah, who they call "Duke" and his wife named Allie. Noah begins to read a love story from his notebook to his wife Allie who has Alzheimer's. Before she was diginoized with Alzheimer's, Allie wrote a love story of her and Noah down in a notebook. She gave it to him and told him to read it to her on days she couldn't remember, promising that her memory would come back as Noah read her their love story.

Noah and Allie met a carnival through their friends. . Noahwho is a country boy fell in love with Allie who is with his a seventeen-year-old girl from a rich family. Noah an Allie spent a summer in love. Allie lives with her parents, who are staying in Seabook for only the summer. Allie's father, a Southern Millionaire, seems to be okay with Allie and Noah's relationship, Allie's mother is not so approving. One night, a week before Allie is to leave, Allie and Noah go up to an abandoned house. Finn, Noah's friends comes running in to who tells them Allie's parents have every cop out in town looking for her. They returned to the Allie's house, Allie's parents ban her from seeing Noah. She fights and disagrees with her parents. Then Allie fights with Noah outside and the two decide to break up. Allie immediately regrets the decision but Noah drives away. The next morning, Allie's mother tells her that they're going home that morning instead of next week. Allie immaditaly tries to find Noah, but is forced to leave without saying good-bye. Noah, devastated to be separated from Allie, begins to write one letter a day for a year, only to get no reply because Allie's mother kept the letters from her. They have no choice than to move on with their lives. Allie becomes a nurse for the wounded soldiers, where she meets a very wealthy good lookin man. Allie spends time with him and the two eventually become engaged, to the joy of Allie's parents.

While trying on her wedding dress, Allie reads about Noah completing there dream house, in a newspaper that they always talked about, and faints. She decides to visit Noah in Seabrook, and the two spend a bit of time together, talking about what has been happening in their lives. Noah invites Allie to see him again the next day, and they both go for a ride in a rowboat. Not long later, Allie confronts Noah and asks him why she had not heard from him for all those years. Noah tells her he had sent her 365 letters and the they find out that Allie's mother had hidden them from her daughter. With all emotions of saddness they both share there love for eachother and both are convinced it wasn't never over.

Allies mother comes to see her daughter and realizes about what has happened. Her mother warns Allie that her fiance knows something about her in Seabrook and is on his way up to talk to her. She tells her daughter she hopes she makes the right choice, and hands her the 365 letters Noah had written seven years ago.

They fall asleep holding on to each other, and the next morning, the nurse finds they have both died in their sleep.

My major

From my senior year in high school I knew speech pathology was the major that I wanted to take in college. My mom is a teacher in Brooklyn and one day I went to work with her and I sat in a class room with a speech pathology teacher and learned more about becoming a speech pathologist. I realized that is a very demanding, well paying job, and a job that you get to help children out. You help children who have a hard to pronouncing words, and speaking.

Becoming a speech pathologist is a very demanding job that I was very determined to get. Going through the whole process of getting a degree in this program and going to get a master degree is very difficult from what I have heard. It is a job that mainly girls are only interested in, but there are some boys that want to become speech pathologist and there isn't a problem with that.

I am looking forward to start studying my major next year and very determined to do well in the whole time I study to become successful in speech pathology.

Kids on Campus

Happy Halloween_"Kids on Campus"

On Friday October, 26, my sorority and myself stood after school and volunteered with "Kids on Campus." Kids on Campus is when children all ages dress up in costumes and come on campus and go trick or treating from building to building. It was the first time I did "Kids on Campus" and i enjoyed it. In one building it was a little haunted house set up for the kids with smacks. In every other building there was little toys and candy for the kids.

After the children and there chaperons, which i personally helped out in, went around from building to building they went back to the gym where there was food being service, music, and all different activities going on for the kids. It was fun for the kids and us to. We played games and did arts and crafts with the kids. We played basketball and danced around the gym without a worry in the world. Many of us had a blast playing and enjoying our Friday night with these wonderful children. It brought smiles to our faces to see this innocent little children with big smiles on their faces.

My Work Experiences

I haven't worked in many places before, but personally I enjoy working. My first job was about 3 or 4 years ago, I started babysitting for a little girl who was my neighbors niece. Till today I am currently still babysitting every weekend, mainly on Saturday nights. I love children and throughout the years I have become to close to her and her family. I consider them like my family. I really enjoy my job working as a babysitter.

Last summer I got my first real job. I worked in a school office. I filed papers and help the principle out in whatever worked that she needed. That was only for the months of July and august. After that I looked all over for a job, but it was a hard thing to find. Finally i applied at many places that had to do with hosting children's parties. I finally found a place, and i loved the job, working and playing with little children. That didn't last to long though, it was hard for me to work the hours that my boss wanted to me, mainly because of school.

Which leads me to today. I currently have two jobs which I love. Over the summer I got a job working as a chiropractor assistant. I got a job working with my cousin. I love my job even though i only work on Tuesday's and Thursday. I recently just found out that in a couple of months I would have to quit my job because of my school schedule in the spring and i am pretty upset about that. Also i work on campus at my school. I work at an alumni office, which i recently got about a month ago. Both of my jobs today are good jobs that i enjoy having.

Happy Halloween

Halloween is a holiday celebrated every year on October 31. There are many traditional activities included on Halloween. Many children or adults dress up in costumes and go around from neighborhoods to neighborhoods and house to house to go trick or treating. Halloween is a fun holiday to celebrate with your friends.

Halloween isn't just for kids anymore. Halloween is a great excuse to get everyone together and have a party. I personally think Halloween is one of the greatest holidays. I enjoy dressing up and getting candy. I don't think you can ever get to old to dress up and go trick or treating. Halloween parties are also a lot of fun. You go and spent a night with your friends and family and get to enjoy watching everyone dressed up in all different costumes having a good time.

Halloween is one holiday where you can be whatever you want and not be judged. It is a spooky and fun holiday. It is a holiday that many people enjoy.

Important Things In Life

There are many things that are important in life, and many things that we think are important but really aren't. Many times people think that money, and material goods are the most important things in life. People take it as if they don't have material goods then life isn't as important. Yes, we all love money, and we all want and love material goods, but to me that is not the most important thing. I would love to have all the money in the world, and all jewelry and all different accessories, all those cool and fun material things, but to me I would rather have the most important things in my life. My friends and my family.

My family is my number one aspect in my life. They are the ones that are always there if you have a bad day or if you are upset. My family if my lifeline. It just something I can not stress enough on how much they mean to me. I love my family unconditionally and would nothing without them today.

Friends. My friends and the 2nd most important things in my life. I have had some pretty amazing friends in my lifetime, that know matter what has happened they have always been there for me. I have met many friends along the way but only a few special ones have been there from the very beginning. I have 4 best friends that I know are life time friends. Two+ of them who are named Jamie and Nina are my best friends from the start. I grew up with these 2 girls and till today there are 2 loyal girls who will always be there to share good times with. My other two best friends are my high school best friends. They say you will always have the 1 or 2 high school best friends that you will grow old with. And that is true I found those 2 who I know we will be friends for life.

My summer crew. This Summer 0f 07 I had the most amazing summer, with the most amazing friends. I could sit here all day and write about my best friends and the summer we shared, but that would take to long. There was a summer filled of excited many lifetime memories with so many of my great friends. All that had to sadly come to and end. Summer came and past. I see my best friends on the weekend but I am lucky enough to say I have entered college and I have made so many new friends. I am excited and can't wait to start all the new memories with my old and new friends as this school years continues.

And to me nothing or no one is more important in my life then my family and my friends!

FORGiVE BUT NEVER FORGET !

A terrible tragedy happened 6 years ago. September 11th, 2001, was a day that changed everyones' life forever. As we all known on 9/11/01 we have a terrorist attack. Many lives were desroyed by this horrible acttack.

I remember the day like it was yesterday. I was only in 7th grade, and a teacher had walked into my classroom to tell my teacher that there was a terrorist attack at the Twin Towers. At that point I had know idea what a terrorist attack was, but I knew by my teachers facial expression that it was something to worry about. We tried to continue class like everything was okay, but it wasn't.

Little by little students would be called down to the office and were taken out of class and went home. The number of students in my class kept decreasing and I didn't understand why. I had figured maybe they knew someone in the Twin Towers and there families wanted them home. I figured it was all okay until I got a phone call down to the office, where I saw my older brother standing there picking me up from school.

I was so confused and I had a million questions to ask him. He took me home and explained to me exactly what had happen. I then understood why myself and the rest of my peers were getting picked up and taken home. I didn't know anyone that was in the Twin Towers or that had died on 9/11 but I knew that it was a scary experience to go threw. Watching it on t.v. was just a terrible thing. You were just speechless by looking at it. It was very scary. You had to be careful with everything you did. I remember neighobors coming out saying not to drink the water, and I remember my uncle telling me I wasn't aloud to leave the front of my house. My parents who were at work, were stuck in Brooklyn, and all I wanted was for them to come home. Everything we did had to be together and we all had to be careful, because thankfully it was over but there could have been more terrrible tragics that we were not aware about. 9/11 was a horrible tragic and it will never be forgotten.

THE GREATEST THiNG <3

Family, what does family mean to me? To me family means a group of people who love you unconditionally. People who are there for you know matter what the situation is. And that is what a have. I have a great family who loves me for me, and who has and always will be there for me. Family is the most imporatant thing in my life today. My family means more to me then anything in this world. From the very first day that I entered this world up until this very moment, my family has always been there for me supporting everything I have done. Every step I have taken my family has been a step behind me helping me make the right choices and decision.

I am so greatful to have a family that is loving, giving, and always there to put a smile on my face, especially when things are tuff. My grandmother and my uncle lived right across the street from me. They have lived there for mostly more then half of my life. For 13 years they have been living there, besides my parents and brother, my grandmother and my uncles have also always been there for me. My mom, well all I can say is she is more then a mother to me, she is my role model and my bestfriend. I just hope one day I could be just as great of a mother to my children as she is to her children.

Sometimes you take family for granted, I know I sometimes do, but I think everyone does, we are only human. I learned to really appreciate them and everything they do for me. I know sometimes I can get upset and angry because I want to do something and they say i can't, but after being upset I really understand there decision. I understand that they only do this things because they care for me.

I have a family who is everything you can imagine and more. I have a family who I love and respect. I would be nothing without them. I am so thankful to have a family to always be there whenever I need advice or just a smile to brighten up my day. I have a family that I wouldn't trade for the world !

Memory vs Memoir

What is memory vs memoir? Memory is a mental capacity or faculty of retaining and reviving facts, events, and impressions. Memory is a recalling or recognizing of previous experiences that you have described in your head. For example I have many memories that flash back in my head about my high school experiences and many memories about playing soocer. Every time I think of my high school experiences I think of all the good memories I have shared with my freinds.

Memoir, memoir is a record of events that is written by a person having intimate knowledge based on personal observation or imagination. It is a creative nonfiction writing. Usually memoirs is an account of one's personal life and experiences; their autobiography. It is also a biography or a sketch of a biography.Memoir is a work of literature. It can be based on personal experiences and memories. It can also sometimes be falsified. Not everything the author writes about is always true. By writing a memoir you can get lost in a journey from the past about yourself.

sLeEp depDrivaTion

Sleep is as important to the human body as food and water, but most of us don’t get enough sleep. Sleep Deprivation is when you do not get the sleep you need, when you begin to build up a sleep deprivation. So if you are losing one hour of sleep a day during the week, by Friday you have a 5 hour sleep deprivation. We usually make up for this by sleeping in on Saturday and Sunday. It can make for a dangerous Friday night if the person driving has a sleep deprivation, especially if they have alcohol on top of it.

Sleep deprivation is caused by not having enough time to get the sleep you need, or it is due to a sleep disorder which disrupts sleep. Sleep deprivation is a common problem that affects almost one-quarter of the adult population. A number of things can cause sleep deprivation, including emotional stress and caffeine intake. There are many causes of sleep deprivation, some symptoms are fatigue, exhaustion, decreased memory and energy levels and more.

Most sleep disorders that cause sleep deprivation have treatment options.We need enough good quality sleep to feel alert during the day, especially during the afternoon. If you have a sleep deprivation you will be very sleepy in the afternoon. Most adults need 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night. People who are well rested feel alert and do not have the urge to nap.

Times Square

Times Square is my favorite place to visit. It is the city that never sleeps. There are many exciting things and places to visit in Times Square. One of my favorite part about New York City is shopping. In time Square it is almost limitless, meaning you can literally “shop till you drop.” The stores offer clothing, electronics, toys, and anything you can imagine is available. You can find anything you are looking for in Times Square.

My personal favorite place to go in Times Square is the great American Chocolate Company. Time Square has the greatest mixes of chocolate that can drive you insane. You don’t need to travel to Pennsylvania to get a Hershey experience, just head to Times Square.Times Square is most famously known for its Broadway plays. There is a variety of entertainment such as musicals, plays on Broadway concerts, offering all forms of music. You can also enjoy a stand up comedy performance of see a movie in the local movie theater. Broadway is the street in New York that has come to symbolize live theater entertainment and musicals throughout the world.

At the start of the first World War, Times square was the center of the Theater district and attracted a large number of visitors, but today it has grown even more.Times Square is important to me because whenever I go to the city that is the first place I look to go. Even though I live so close to the city, every time I go, I feel like it is a new experience.

Best 4 Years of My Life <3

The last four years of my life, during high school i have played soccer. Playing soccer in high school meant everything to me. I started off freshman year playing soccer and met so many new friends. Playing soccer at Moore was only for the fall season which was a dissapointment, because when it ended we had to wait a whole year to be with our team and play again. Even though it was a short season, we enjoyed every moment of it as a team.

Durning freshman year, a great experience happened to me while I was practicing. A coach from another team came to watch my team practice. It happened to be that he was the coach of a travel team. He pulled me and two other girls to the side and said to us that he had liked the way the we played and wanted us to join his travel team. I was so excited and could not wait to start, the other two girls did not join, which made me a little nervous starting a new team not knowing anyone.

I wanted to join but i thought twice about it since I was joining alone. I finally made up my mind and I wasn't going to let this great experience pass me by. The next week I started to practice with my new travel team and loved it. From there until the senior year I played both soccer for my high shool and for a travel team. I learned so many things, meet so many new people, and realized there is nothing I love to do more but play soccer and be with my teammates.

After all those good times it had to come to an end. Leaving my teammates was the hardest thing I had to do. I remember for high school, our last game was the biggest game ever, we played a team who was really good but as a team we knew we could win it all. It ended up the we lost the game by and false call that the referee had made. It was the hardest game we played. As a team we played amazing but it all came to an end when the whistle blew and time was up. Knowing it was the final game was hard, and knowing we were seniors and we would never play again was the saddest thing. Leaving my travel team and saying our goodbyes wasn't as easy, we played a very good final game and won. Even though we all knew we would never be able to play agin, we all knew we would all meet up along the roads and play soccer for fun. Those four years of playing soccer, were the best years of my life.

High SchoolSoccer !
