Journal Entry #2

Yesterday i talked to my dad who i haven't talked to for about 2 months. We talked and for the first time things weren't awkward between us and he invited me to go squirrel hunting with him sometime soon, just us two. No one from his other family or from mine or friends, just me and him only. That is exactly what i need from my dad... alone time together.. father daughter time.. just us(: You see when i used to go over to his house all the time we would shoot our bow and arrow, i stopped because he never bought me a new one for my strength. That was my favorite thing to do with my dad and he finally after 4 years of waiting for a new bow and arrow he finally asked me again. Things are starting to go uphill and everything is starting over new , ever since we've moved back to phoenix I've been trying to start my life over for the good because i started going down hill last year doing things i shouldn't. So ever since ive started over everything going perfect for me..!

Journal Entry #1

       For the past 9 months I have been living with family members and friends moving from one place to another. I failed classes last year and have a very stressful life dealing with financial problems. But as of tomorrow we will have our own place, our own beds and my own personal area. We are moving into a studio which means there are no bedrooms just a closet and a bathroom. I mean sounds kinda lame but honestly I'm to the point that this is amazing to me and I will take whatever my mom can afford. Just having my own bed is enough for me to ask for. Ive been living on my uncles couch for the past 4 1/2 months after moving from other peoples houses where I had to share a bed with my moms friends daughter. I am so ecstatic that were moving in tomorrow except for about a week or two..maybe three we wont have all of our stuff, we'll just have clothes and blankets but its so much better than sleeping in my uncles living room with my mom on his couch and me on a chair and stool. This will be the start of a new beginning for me and my mom and hopefully its for the best of both of us.

What are your career goals?

My career goals are to be a certified nurse.  I like helping people feel and get better whether they have the flu or a broken limb. When my mom passed out i freaked out for a few seconds but within 10 seconds i knew exactly what to do and did it right and calmly. Sometimes i wonder if i want to be a nurse or deliver babies. Either way i would be making good money and hours. Not only do i want to be a nurse because it makes good money but tis fun and would never get boring..which is why its my career choice. Its always busy, makes good money hourly and will never be a boring day. New patients everyday, new accidents and new problems that need to be fixed by me.. a nurse.

first collage.--> VOLLEYBALL

Volleyball is my passion<3

Do you like sports ? why or why not ?

 yes i love sports. I love watching and playing football and basketball. I love playing volleyball. I am very good at it and really want to get on to a team, but  i really don't have enough time anymore. i love sports because it keeps me active and busy and its fun too.

what should happen to parents that leave their children in thwe car on hot days.

I think parents need to be punished for leaving their children in a hot car by either getting their children taken away for abuse or go to jail for neglect. Its not fair to children to be left in a hot car to cook and sometimes even die. Parents who do those kind of things should not be parents because if they cant be responsible enough to remember or take their kid into a store then they shouldn't have kids.

What I Learned Yesterday

Yesterday I learned how to take three images and put them into one. I took two colored characters and put them into a black and white beach picture. I also learned how to re-size pictures and add a layer onto another one and another one. With that technique you can add another picture onto another and while picture one is on the bottom of picture two, you can erase picture two without erasing picture number one.

August 22,2011

yesterday was not that great of a day. i ended up getting crazy stomach cramps and had tons of homework so as soon as school ended my day was already down the drain. I had fun with one homework assignment though, i had to decorate a journal cover and author page, i loved it because i love being artistic and drawing and making things. which is one reason why i am in this class (MEDIA PROD). yesterday we learned how to put a person from one picture into another.. pretty simple but fun and interesting. i cant wait to learn more from this class and see what i really can do.

My Weekend!!(:

My weekend started as soon as i got out of school. I went straight to my boyfriends house with him and all of our friends King Steve,Gerber,Adam,Lola,and jimmy. At first there wasnt all that much to do until it hit later on in the evening so until then I went to my friend Alishas and went shopping with her and Rihanna. After we got back from tillys Alisha took me back to Mikeys(my boyfriend). From there we all went over to Jimmys and had a little kickback. Drama started kicking in so me,Mikey, and King Steve left back to Mikeys , coming back to nothing and noone home so we decided to throw our own party there. Saturday i had to work for Mikeys sister babysitting for her while she worked all day. Babysitting a 2 year old isnt as fun as i thought it would be, but at least i get paid for it. Sunday Mikey had work so i hung out wit his sister and mom all afternoon while he worked with his dad.

TED #1

Ken Robinson had pointed out that people are born artists and its not that we grow into being creative, its more like we grow out of being educated, or education is pushing us away from creativity. I remember when i was younger and being more creative and had more of an imagination but as i got older i lost my imagination faster and faster. I strongly believe that education took it all away from me because they wanted us to write about more realistic things than imaginative papers. I think education should have more creative skills included for students so we dont lose our creativity , because with that we could go really far career wise or any other way. More kids would pursue their dreams.

Thursday August 19,2011..

Today was like any other day, I go to my boyfriends everyday and hang with him and all our friends. There are usually 5 of us in my boyfriend Mikey's room but sometimes it varies. As of right now I'm living with my uncle and I'm really not that comfortable going there right after school for the rest of the day. Its bad enough i sleep on his couch, i don't need to go to his house and invade his home and eat all his food so instead I do that to Mikey and his family. I guess you could say I live there until we move into our own place which wont be until the first of September, if they even approve us so its still not official. As of right now I don't or cant do much until we get our own place, so all it is is a waiting game and a count down for me. Everyday is like the last one before it and the one before that one. Yesterday was an okay day for me. My internet got shut off yesterday so that became a zero for all my class assignments due today. I wish things at home could go more smoothly than they have been but I'm already down a very rocky road so it'll take awhile to get back to that smooth road i was on in the beginning. Things take time and i have patience but I'm only 16 and some things are too hard for me to handle and coop with at this age.

the life of Melody

My name is Melody Bean, I am 16 and a junior at Deer Valley High School. I grew up with seven brothers and no sisters. I guess you could say Ive been driving down a very bumpy road my whole life , but i learn more after every mistake or problem Ive gotten myself into. Having seven brothers growing up is the most difficult thing I think a girl can go threw. I never got away with anything, learned how to fight by all of them gaining up on me when least expecting it, i took the fall for them every time and still do till this day but most importantly i learned about respect and responsibility. I don't think i would be the person i am today if it wasn't for them. My parents are divorced which also never made my life easy. I hate when divorced parents put there kids in the middle of everything they argue about saying were the reason why their arguing about that one thing because its to benefit us in the end, but in reality its to benefit one of them. After awhile things can become ridiculous and they are to selfish to realize it. I am the last one out of all my moms kids to move out but the first to go to college. Knowing I am going to be the first in my family to go to college motivates me more to wanting to go, because of right now its like a ticking time bomb for my family.. just waiting for the last Bean child to drop out and make my life a reck just like everyone else. With everyone underestimating me all the time makes me work harder to prove them wrong.
