#5 "Learning Qualities about Family"

A skill/quality about my mom that I learned about is her artistic talent. After seeing the art that she's done throughout my lifetime and hers, I have become inspired to be artistic myself. Starting at a young age and as I've grown, I've drawn, painted, many things under her guidance and now started to take lessons on drawing and painting. I admire this quality so much because I find art beautiful, expressive, and fun to do. Her art isn't like mine, but sure is an inspiration for many things I've created. Recently, I've swayed from that type of art and have become more towards a fashion interest, which I so far plan to major in as I endeavor through my education and career. This common interest hasn't swayed my opinion of her, but has made me grow closer to her as I age.

Post 4, "Biggest Weakness"

My biggest weakness is my self-image. This is my weakness because I have a really bad self-image, because when I was in middle school I was bullied for how I look. People called me fat, ugly, weird, anorexic, stupid blonde, and so many other names that, after three whole years, I started to believe it. I began to be so depressed that I started to eat a lot. Within that month and a half that I over ate, I went from 75 pounds, all the way up to 140 pounds. That was when people called me fat, and I started to feel really bad about myself. Now that I have gotten past that, I'm focusing on a happy future.

Blog Number Three; "On the Road Again."

Caring for a disabled person whilst moving from place to place can be very different from living a healthy life. I think that if you had to live like that, it would be very difficult because people with disabilities require more attention and have more needs rather than someone who is healthy. My uncle has a learning disability, making it harder for him to make it through everyday life with understanding of what is completely going on, and he has trouble remembering things. Because I am related to someone who has such difficulties, I understand what life is like to take care of someone who is unable to be completely independent (even if I am younger than him). When taking care of someone with a disability, one must remember that they necessitate more attention, instruction, and most of all, love and care. Keeping this in mind, I don't think I can imagine what they might need if they are constantly moving from place to place. Therefore, I believe it may be more difficult to live with someone who is disabled and require many needs.

Blog #2 "Pedro the Robot Necklace :D"

When I was in 6th grade, me and my friend Elizabeth were sitting out of 7/11 drinking energy drinks, and some boys on their bicycles came by and called us Homo's. It made us sad, and I told my mom and she found them and yelled at them and threatened to report them to the Police Department.

Blog #1 "Pop goes the weasel"

Mary Maloney would not be able to get off the hook for murdering her husband whether or not she claimed temporary insanity because murder is always a crime that you can not apologize for or undo. I believe that Mrs. Maloney had become, after the shock of the news that the late Mr. Maloney was leaving her, indeed became insane. Although she had become insane, it may become clear to many that she would be in complete control of her actions, even though it was a result of shock. As you can see on page 5 of "Lamb to the Slaughter"(Dahl 5), Mary must rehearse what she says before she leaves the house to go to Sam at the supermarket, so even though she is in denial, she knows exactly what happened and would go through anything to save her and her child's life.
