Live Your Life

As I was growing up, I was always known to be the shy one. I was the person that never spoke a single word in class, or never the first one to start a conversation. I was comfortable with my friends, but at that moment in time, friends only meant a few. I was pretty much the typical nerd, although my appearance convinced everyone that I could work for P. Diddy (I wore a lot of SEAN JOHN). Video games became my necessity, while food and sleep were only given to me when my mom forced it upon me. From my understandings I thought life was good, there wasn’t any responsibilities or stress. I was in control in my cyber world. As I was getting older, I started to notice girls, especially the ones that were in my class. I remember having a huge crush on this girl named Tiffany. She wasn’t in my class but I noticed her hanging out with the group of people I know. Every time I glanced at her I couldn’t feel anything but the butterflies in my stomach and the pace of my heartbeats increasing. Soon after telling my friend this secret, the whole school somehow found out, so did she. As a shy kid and an amateur, I told my friend to ask her if the feeling was mutual. The answer I received was a no. At that moment, I felt like my world collapsed. However, I got over that issue and moved on to high school, where I spent the next 4 years of my life searching for my identity. It wasn’t until college that gave me a wake up call. I realized that life’s too short to be afraid of how people might judge you and I learned to show my true colors.

And This I Believed: You should live your life with passion and excitement, and it is okay to be different.

Generation Entertainment


“Gym, Tan, Laundry!” Many of you may recognize this famous line from the over popular MTV show Jersey Shore. Reality shows like this is the kind of entertainment our generation strives for. I call it Generation Entertainment. People today, are constantly looking for news and stories to keep themselves occupied. However, the type of news may not serve a significant purpose. Also, the music in our generation is becoming more cliché and it usually about sex, money, or drugs. Teenagers are growing on to these entertainments or you could even say that these entertainments are a necessity to them.

The Perfect Vacation

Walt Disney World, the place where everyone should go at least once.

The resort is filled with amazing amusement park rides and Disney characters that everyone has all grown up loving. Disney is a great place for family and friends to come together and have fun. It allows visitors to escape the stress and hardships that people experience in their everyday lives. Disney World has become a symbol that represents America and is a huge part of our culture today.
When people think of Disney, they may instantly think of Mickey Mouse or Goofy, however the famous characters are only one aspect of it. Disney World has become an integrated part of our culture. Since its opening in 1971, it has grown to become the largest and most visited recreation site in the world for families. It has become the ideal vacation spot for people not only in America, but from all across the globe as well. Walt Disney has created amazing, mind-blowing theme parks that make up the resort.
Each theme park possesses its own unique qualities and attractions. The Animal Kingdom was by far my favorite theme park. Not only does it offer amusement park rides, but people can also go on Safari expeditions where they can watch animals living in their natural habitat. Disney World is a significant place to me because I shared countless memories with my family there and no other memories could be as important or special as that.

The Perfect Place

Walt Disney World, the place where everyone should go at least once. The resort is filled with amazing amusement park rides, and Disney characters that you may have loved when you were a child. Disney is a place for family and friends to come together and have fun, and really escape from the stress and hardships that people experience in their everyday lives. Disney World became a symbol that represented America and it is a big part of our culture today. When people think of Disney, they may think of Mickey Mouse or Goofy, however that is only one aspect of it. Disney World has sank into our culture. It has became the largest and most visited recreation site in the world for families and it has became the ideal vacation spot for people not only in America but all over the world. Walt Disney has done a perfect job of creating themes for its resort. Each section of the park has its own unique qualities and attractions. The Animal Kingdom was by far my favorite theme park. Not only does it offer  amusement park rides, but people can go on Safari expedition rides where they can watch animals in their habitats. Disney World is a significantly essential place to me because it represented all the memories I shared with my family and none other memories could be as important as that.
