If you had the choice, where would you choose to live?



If I could live anywhere I would live in a country-like area over in Clarksdale, Mississippi. I have lived in many different areas with different surroundings and environments growing up. I grew up in foster homes for quite a bit of my childhood and even when I did not I still moved around a lot of the time. The last foster home I was in became my family. I fell in love with my home, my family, our neighborhood and everything about where I was living. I lived in so many different places and never have I been happier than when I lived in a country environment. I love country music, I love country people, I love it all and I want more than anything to surround myself with the things I love. I want to finish school, start my career as a nurse and then move into the country. As I grow older, I hope to also raise my children this way. I would choose to move to Clarksdale Mississippi because I have visited Clarksdale and I absolutely loved everything about that town.  My biological parents hate the way I have become obsessed with the thought of living a country lifestyle because that is clearly not how they intended on raising me. Majority of my family are all city folk. I never liked living in the city; I want to live in an area where I have land to go and do and to just be free! I am taking the steps that I need to today, to help my follow my dreams tomorrow.

What would you do if money was no object?

What would you do if money was no object?

This project really helped me see and understand that there is truly more to people than meets the eye. After interviewing my friends I saw that I really have incredible people in my life who all have endless potential. The kind of answers that my friends and family gave me couldn't have impressed or surprised me more. I'm am very happy with the answers that I received. I hope that each and every person in the video follows their dreams as if money wasn't an object. Happiness is one of the only things that truly matter in life. Money can't buy happiness.

My favorite book is "13 Reasons Why" By: Jay Asher

My favorite book would have to be, 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher. I don't really read often so it is strange for me to have chosen a favorite book. I read this book about two years ago during summer, while I was involved in a summer reading program. I chose to read this book because a friend of mine had recommended that I read it. This book really sparked my interest because of the story line and how vivid all the mental images and feelings were. 13 Reasons Why, is about a girl who recorded a bunch of tapes right before she commits suicide. On the tapes she recorded, she explained her thirteen reasons for ending her life. The person who was given the tapes was instructed to listen to all the tapes on pass them on to the next person. If they did not, there were consequences they would face if they hadn't followed the rules. The girl had made a second set of tapes to be put out publicly if someone discontinued passing them on. The tapes explained how she felt, what she went through as well as the people she went through it with. I really enjoy books like this because the story line really keeps you on your toes and intrigues you to continue reading until the very last page. At the time when I read the book, I had been a pretty depressed person myself so, I really felt that this book spoke to me. I would recommend everyone to read this book at least once, especially young teens!
