What is your favorite form of creative expression? If I were to ask you to pick one art that you could best express yourself through, which would it be? Of all the arts, which do you enjoy the most to view or listen to and which do you enjoy most to participate in. Are they the same?

I think my favorite art would be dance but not just any dance iwould have to say ballet because i think its a graceful and beautiful ways to express yourdelf.I think that is my favorite form of creative expression. I enjoy going to the ballets and watching them some of my personal favorites would be The Swan Lake, The nutcrakcer, and ofc coarse the miami city ballet performances. I enjioy watching them hoping that some day i may be as good as them. I have danced ballet since i was 2 1/2 years old and i still continue when i can i help out the younger girls. Yes i have grown to appreciate the effort, time and pain that goes into such a graceful and breathtaking performance.

If you could go back in time and fix three mistakes, what would they be? What would you do differently? Do you believe that fixing these mistakes would change your life today? Describe how. Do you think you would make these mistakes again later on in life?

The three things i would change in my life would be i wouldn't have been so careless in 10th grade at the begining of the year with my grades to cause my GPA to decrease. I would have changed a few things in some friendships to keep some of my friends around.The last thing i woud have changed would have been spending more time with my grandmother since she passed away when i we eight year old and i had to go threw so much since i miss her so much and i sometimes wish she was around more in my life and i wish that i would have been able to spend more time with her since now i miss her terribly and i know that she is in my heart but i would have liked to have her hug me once more.

Think about the person you were 5 years ago. Do you believe that you are the same now as you were back then? Do the same things interest you? Do you have the same friends? Do you believe that you will be as you are 5 years from now? Do you think the same things will be important to you? What do you expect to have accomplished by then?

Five years ago I was 11 years old thinking barbie's were cool and playing in the lake without a care in the world.I was intrsaeted in Birtney Spears and Backstreet boys and all those little pop bands that are history today.I feel like have increased my matureity level up at sometime or another I am a little kid just like everyone else inside and at heart.I think I have acomplished greater things in my life since i was eleven.No I think that everyone grows up eventually, also that people mature threw the years. Some but I call them childhood friends and yes I have grown out of some friends and grown into other friends. And maybe before i go to college I will most likely gorw out of friends that I hang out with now. Five years from now i will be 21 a considered a legal adult.Some such a long time goals such as college,marriage,childern in the future along with an aeducation to support a job. Some goals like becoming c/0 09 President, or Prom Queen those are small dreams or short term goals that i wish to acheive. I plan on visiting the last two state that i haven't been to (Hawaii & Wisconsin), I also want to have a good education, and a job have supporting it and a college degrees coming soon.

Read and interpret the following quote by Benjamin Franklin. Describe what you think it means. Do you agree with it, why or why not. Share any experiences that may help you describe your view.

As Benjamin Franklin once said “Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing”. Friends are people that should make an impact on your life. My friends such as Criseth help me threw my many challenges and is always there for me. A friends is someone you can also trust and share your secerts with so when choosing your friends be careful who you choose and and when changing a friend be even slower I think what he means by that would be to now just let go of them but slowly losse the bad friends and keep the good friends forever :) Yes I agree with it because its true you should always be careful of you you hang around with because the people you hang around wioth are the people you are protrade to be like for example if you hang out with people that are smart then people will think your smart.

As we approach the halfway point in the first 9 weeks, which do you feel is the most demanding of all your classes? Are you finding it difficult to find your footing in school this year? Are you working particularly hard in any one area? How do you feel about the pace of this class so far? Is it meeting your expectations? Do you find it difficult?

I am an honors student and I have many classes were they excpect me to acomplish many thing and expcet thing for me.At first every class feels demanding but later on during the school year it become less demanding as you get use to the proceedures of the classroom.My footing in this school year is strong and I feel like I started on the right foot, and i feel like i have adjusted to the teachers, the clases, and the way the classroom works times six different classes and subjects along with different teachers.In most of my classes at some times I get an overload of homework and have to stay up all night or most of the night to complete it.I can't say certain teachers give me morwe homework then others but some expect more from thieir classes.The pace of this class isn't hard but it sure isn't easy.At some point its difficult but at other times its a matter of sitting down and doing it. Which goes back to having self disapline.

Describe in detail your biggest fear. Do you believe it is something that you can overcome? If so, can you do do by yourself or do you need help? When do you believe that you first acquired this fear? Do you believe that it is a rational or irrational fear? Do you think that it is a common fear or is it something particular to you? Do you parents know about it?

I strongly believe that everyone has a fear of something but most people dont' seem to know.I would have to say that I have many fear but most of them are small little fears. I would say that OI ahve a fear or sharks because this may sound funny but in every fake shark movie the blonde, white girl always or usaully dies before most of the rest of the suviors from let say the ship wreck. I have also witnessed a shark attack and hear about them striking humans. I'm also afraid of drowing in a ship like the titanic did. I have a smalll fear of snakes i don't like them but if you have one near me thats cool as long as it doesn't touch me and the smae with most reptiles. I also perfer to not watch scary movies.
Yes this fear can be overcome but it may take some time and with the help of people I trust. Yea it would be rational and yes both my mother and my father are aware of all my fears. I think that some people have similar fear as me. I know for a fact that my best friend has the same fear of sharks and scary movies but she seems to overcome the scary movie factor alot better then myself.

What do you believe is the most important right you have as an American? If you had to choose one right as being the most important to YOU, which would it be? Why is this the case? What would things be like if this right didn’t exist?

I believe that as an American I have many important rights. I believe that one of the most important right is freedom. Without freedom we would be nothing without it. Freedom give us the oportunity to express they way we feel, think, and whatever it is that we have to say. Without freedom we wouldn't be able to study our own beliefs or relgious freedom, we'd be like the miltary without any say of it.
I feel that here in America freedom is most important because without it there is nothing else for us to have and hold. Freedom is like beign able to go outside and do as you please. If there was no freedom we'd probably wouldn't be able to have homeschooling, or water our yard unless it was a specific time, and we'd have to be on a time scale for the rest of our lives. If you think aboput it its kinda like the comercail for norweagen cruise line.

What is the definition of being an adult to you? Describe what it means to be “grown up”. Is it just a matter of age? What are some of the characteristics an adult has or should have?

I dont think the defination of an adult is consider anyone over the age of eighteen. Their are many younger teenages that say they are adult or atempt to act like adults. To be a considered a "grown up" i think some of the many characteristics of being an adult would be responsability, maturity, trust, and can handle mature sistuations.I truthfully feel thatnot even all the peopkle over the age of eighteen act like adults. And it isn't just a matter of age
