Plans for the 5-day holiday

My plans for the 5-day weekend are on Tuesday/ Today I am going to the pantomime till about 9 tonight. After pantomime I’m going to go to my friend Haleigh’s house with Alex and Dean to watch New Moon. When it’s over I think I will be spending the house at Haleigh’s house and just chillaxing. Then Wednesday I am going to just hang out with Haleigh for a few until my mom calls me to come home. This is normally around like 12 then I have to go home and clean, I have to clean for tomorrow I hate cleaning my house so I normally get out of it.
I just have to find a way to get out of it and we will be all good. Then I will just go hangout with people until its dinner, and then I will go home and eat then just watch television for a while. I think my friend big Jake or lumpy is coming over to sleep over and stay the rest of the break. Then on Thursday I will just be like sleeping in until like 1.
Then I will have to get up for a few just to eat and stuff and then I will go to sleep again. Have people come over and just chillax for a few probably go up to the park. Then go home eat dinner with my family for thanksgiving. Then most likely hang out with people again and then come home and go to sleep.

On Friday I plan on sleeping till 1 having Haleigh and Alex come over. I’m going to get my mom up at like2 and then I’ll get ready to go. My mom is taking me to get my nose pierced on Friday and I am going to try and get her to let me get my belly button pierced too. I hope she lets me but if she doesn’t I’m going to try for my tongue or my lip. I want two things pierced that day and I think I can convince my mom to let me.

A Judge

A Judge
I think It would be really fun to be a judge, It’s going to take a lot of school though to become a judge it will take To become a judge, you usually have to become a lawyer first, which means attending law school and completing a law degree. Before applying to law school, however, you must first earn a bachelor’s degree. Bachelor’s degrees usually take 4 years to complete. A degree in any subject is valid but those that allow students to develop their research and writing skills, such as English, history, or political science, can be particularly helpful. Law school candidates need excellent grades, and all schools approved by the American Bar Association (ABA) require applicants to take an aptitude test called the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) as well. Competition for admission to many law schools is intense, especially for the most prestigious schools. Law school normally takes 3 years of full-time study to complete and the degree you get is usually called a Juries Doctor (JD). Some colleges offer combined law and business administration programs that take a fourth year of study and result in both the JD and Master of Business Administration (MBA) degrees. After graduating from law school, you still need to successfully complete the bar examination for the state(s) in which you plan to practice. Preparing for these examinations can take a lot of time and hard work. You have to work as a lawyer for many years and establish a good reputation before you are likely to be appointed or elected a judge.
That’s just in school they get paid a lot. Entry Wage get about $23.67, Median Wage gets about $41.23 and Experienced Wage gets about $70.82 it is a lot of money for a really easy job.
A day in the life of a Judge..
7:30 am – 8:30 am Reviewing the day’s files and correspondence; writing letters or decisions; reviewing motions. 8:30 am – 9:00 am Scheduling a conference with lawyers to decide issues in a lawsuit. 9:00 am – 12:00 pm Presiding over a trial involving two drivers and an insurance company; listening to witnesses and lawyers; making notes; ruling on issues. 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm Eating lunch. 1:30 pm – 5:00 pm Presiding over a trial. 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm Doing some reading and research at home; reviewing previous cases.

Child and Youth Worker

I picked Child and Youth Worker for this job you would need the minimum educational requirement is usually a certificate or associate degree in human services, sociology, or psychology. The Job pays three ways one is, Entry Wage and that pays $18.87, Median Wage is $22.56 and the Experienced Wage is $27.46. The numbers will go up in 2016 at the moment the number is at 11,306 but it says that in 2016 that the number will be 11,194. This means that I should have a good chance getting a job in this career if I was looking.
I think that this would be a good starting out easy job to do. The day in the life of a Child and Youth Worker starts out at about 11:00am they start there day by Doing paperwork; planning day’s lesson; getting materials together—making copies of worksheets, preparing a test, getting books. Then at about 12:30 they Doing outreach work: tutoring at schools; meeting with teachers about what a child’s needs are for our tutoring sessions; collaborating with community members on programs for my organization, like “Tutoring for Success” or swimming. After that then at about 2 they back at the club; cleaning and checking areas in preparation for kids’ arrival.
After they get ready for the kids the kids come at 2:30 and they help the kids with their homework and just chill out at eat and stuff. Then at about 3 the kids from 6-13 come and they help them with their homework too. Then at about 4 to 5 they beginning day’s lesson in the computer room with a smaller group of kids; handing out worksheets on a foreign country; instructing them how to answer the questions by finding information about the country on the Internet; playing a game from that country.
At 5 they help the kids cook a dish from the country of the day; teaching them about the food and its origins. At 6 to about 7 they “Tutoring for Success” program: conducting individual tutoring sessions; making sure all tutors and students are working together. At about 7 to about 8:45 they teach a class: “The Winning Edge.” Introducing freshmen and sophomore high school students to various occupations and college requirements; advising them on which classes to take before graduation.
That is a day in the life of a Child and Youth Worker.:)

Top 3

Child and Youth Worker..
Child and youth workers work with troubled children and adolescents who face a variety of emotional, behavioral or physical problems. The problems can arise within the family, at school, as a result of drug and alcohol abuse or because of conflicts with the law. Child and youth workers use guidance and treatment programs to help young people deal with their problems.As a child and youth worker, you might be employed in a psychiatric hospital, residential treatment centre, social agency concerned with youth services, school providing education for special needs children, private group home, detention and rehabilitation centre or a community outreach program. Some child and youth workers prefer to specialize and work only with a certain age group or specific types of problems.
You often work in a group to teach life skills, behavior, social and coping skills. In an institutional setting, you eat meals with the kids, supervise chores, and even attend classes with them. You also plan and organize recreational activities, supervise homework and provide guidance and support. Through this structured environment, you can help to fill some of the psychological and physical needs of the young people you work with.
And I think that I would be good at this job because I like to work with children.


ModelI like this choice because I modeled over the summer and then I put it aside for dance and school, I like to model cause you get to where all the really cute outfits and high heels. On the other hand it does take a lot of time out of your life. With all the interviews and then if you get booked you have to go do shoots. I think that it is a really fun thing to do. You really have to be outgoing though and they will tell you that like right off the bat. As long as your outgoing and you can walk on the runway then you will be all good. I don’t like doing runway though because I’m someone who they would call really clumsy. Also female model’s make more money than the male models:)
Special Education Teacher
I want to be a special Ed teacher because I worked with the special Ed kids in elementary school. I liked it because I got to help people that some couldn’t help themselves. It was fun to help them out and I would like to do that for a living because that would be a fun job to go and do everyday. Special education teachers work with children and youths who have a variety of disabilities. A small number of special education teachers work with students with severe cases of mental retardation or autism, primarily teaching them life skills and basic literacy. However, the majority of special education teachers work with children with mild to moderate disabilities, using or modifying the general education curriculum to meet the child’s individual needs. Most special education teachers instruct students at the elementary, middle, and secondary school level, although some work with infants and toddlers.The various types of disabilities that may qualify individuals for special education programs include specific learning disabilities, speech or language impairments, mental retardation, emotional disturbance, multiple disabilities, hearing impairments, orthopedic impairments, visual impairments, autism, combined deafness and blindness, traumatic brain injury, and other health impairments. Students are classified under one of the categories, and special education teachers are prepared to work with specific groups. Early identification of a child with special needs is an important part of a special education teacher’s job, because early intervention is essential in educating children with disabilities.

Halloween

Halloween :)
My Halloween plans are to go out with my friends or I’m just going to go to some parties with my friends. Or I can try and convince my parents to let me have a party at my house, I think that will be really easy to do. I don’t think I’m going to go out this year, I normally go out every year and after I get home with my sisters we sort our candy, we trade it, then we give our dad the candy we don’t like.
I think that my favorite Halloween costume was when I was in 3rd grade. I told my mom I wanted to be bubbles from the powderpuff girls. That was my favorite show when I was little plus I named my dog after bubbles. So that was another reason that I wanted to be bubbles I
think that it was a great Halloween.
There is something’s that I hate about Halloween. The first thing I hate about Halloween is how late you have to start; I mean who really wants to go out at 6 or 7. I hate the people who leave their lights on when there not giving out candy anymore. I hate going with my little sisters
because they just take forever to go Halloween.
The things that I love about Halloween are. I love getting the free candy all the parties, I like how you can just dress like a freak and no one can or will say anything. It’s just fun walking around with my friends. The best part about Halloween is the scary movies:).
Some of my favorite scary movies are….
1) Arachnophobia: this movie scared the life out of me just because I have arachnophobia, and my dad came in the middle of the movie scared me and my friend, telling us it was time for dinner I made him carry me up the stairs I wouldn’t touch the floor..
2) 'The Ring' everyone thought this was so scary I really didn’t just the girl coming scared me. But it was still a good movie
3) Halloween I love all of the Halloween movies they don’t scare my they are just jumpy but still my favorite movies:)
4) Saw this is a movie that will creep me out but if I watch it with people I’m not scared at all I think if I watch it alone something will like happen so I just don’t..

5) The Strangers: this movie scared me only because it was a true story and it is just creepy with the masks and everything

A Perfect Day:)

A Perfect Day...

If I was told that I only had 24 hours left to live I would spend it just something like this. In the morning I would wake up at about 6:15am. I would go to the kitchen and I would want to smell fresh waffles, pancakes, French toast with hot syrup too. I would want there to be orange juice, milk and with a lot of mt dew. I think then I would just want to enjoy everything there with my family.

After breakfast I would want to go sky diving because I plan on doing that the day I turn 18 anyways. After I dive, I would want to just go and get all my friends together and just do everything with them. I would want to go shopping, drink all the mt dew I could possibly drink. So by this time in the day it would be about 10. I would go and get my permit then I could drive everywhere. So then I would try to figure out how I’m dien. Then I would eat a full pizza lunch with 3 cheese and butter cheese crusts and then I would eat 3 cheese breadsticks.

After lunch I would call everyone and have a huge party at my house I think that would be amazing I would hire people to come and sing at my party though. Because if this was my last party it will be one no one with forget. I think I would rent out a club though because I want the changing floor colors. With the smoke coming from the ceilings and the floors. There will only be 2 rules don’t get caught doing anything bad and no people I don’t like. I would want my party to end at like 11:11.

Then I would spend the rest of my night at my house with my family. I would want to be watching a good movie, like a walk to remember or something in that nature. Something like a romantic comedy just because those are my favorite types of movies. Just sitting there with some popcorn and I would want to die in my sleep with no pain or suffering. I want to go with my family and some close friends around me. I wouldn’t care really if I died though because I’m not scared of death like most people are. Because you’re supposed to live everyday like it’s your last.

1st day of school

The first day of school was ok as far as school goes. It was a fun day just because I got to see all my friends again. It was a long day the first time but after the first day time fly’s by. My classes are ok do I don’t have any complaints about them yet.
My classes are somewhat fun 1st hour was boring at the beginning but now it is becoming fun. 2nd hour is amazing but just because I love photography so that class is so far my favorite. 3rd hour is my least favorite because I don’t like math I would rather do anything else besides it. 4th hour is my history class I guess its ok I don’t hate history but I don’t like it either. I think that it is boring learning about history. 5th hour science this class is so boring I dislike science but my teacher keeps it a bit interesting. 6th hour is soft media mag. I like this class because it’s a hand’s on class you’re always doing something you’re either typing or spinning in your chairs.
School is going good still and I think that it will continue to get better along the way.

How I Communicate



I communicate mostly by text messaging. I’m always on my phone texting or talking. I think that texting is a faster and quicker way to talk. I don’t like to sit down and talk to people face to face I think it’s just faster to text.

Another way I communicate is by MySpace I have had a MySpace sense I was in 7th grade. I use it a lot to talk to my friends if I get my phone taken away. I think that a lot of people use MySpace because it’s fast and easy to use. A lot of people think that MySpace is bad but it’s just like texting on the computer.

I also communicate by Facebook I don’t like Facebook as much as texting or MySpace because nothing is private. Everything that everyone does on it everyone can see the only thing you can’t see is messages and no one likes to type messages comments are faster. I guess that it’s ok though but I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone. I’m not the biggest fan of Facebook but it’s ok I guess.


My favorite class in school would have to be 3rd grade it was my first year In Livonia Public Schools. I had Mrs. Camble she was the nicest teacher that I have ever had she was nice but only if you worked. So that tended to make people work she was not nice when she was angry. I also met my best friend in her class Haleigh and I have been bestfriends for 6 years now. We met the first day of school and we were just inseparable ever sense. We walked to and from school together every day for three years. We would hang out at her house every day after school and we still do that sometimes today
