Post 12: Theme of my life

The theme of my life... it's probably more than one, and it will probably continue to change over time as I learn more, and experience things over time. I know that it has already changed multiple times over the course of the years I've spent thus far. If I had to broadly choose one I would say, that it is "Nothing goes as planned, but everything happens for a reason." I say this because through out life I have envisioned it to go a certain way and the path to get there and I will admit that 9/10 it does not go as planned or how I want it but when I look back I realize, that I learned from how things played out and it has made me who I am today. As I have learned from not getting my way, struggling to get by, and hitting a rock bottom point in my life. The schedule I had planned for myself, at what age I would do what, etc, has never been accurate. I should be graduating with a B.S. degree in about a year, but instead I have transferred schools (mga being my third) three times, and took a year off (to become a GA resident). Everyone lays out this "poster-life" of how it should be, but they forget the main key, SHIT HAPPENS. Good and bad, life takes turns, and things change, relationships fade in and out, doors open and close...but all of that has lead me to a spot in my life, where I am actually happy. Would I change some things? Sure, but I would not be where or who I am today.

    I really like that you can stick with it and push life forward, if not always in the direction you plan. Well done.

Post 28: Others...

Reading through a few blog posts Imani's really stood out because she said this class has "humbled her" and that is a huge lesson beyond the text of the Bedford book. When discussing anything as a group we come across different opinions from our own. As we age we learn, that that is okay. Not everyone sees eye to eye and that doesn't make the world any less perfect. Kourtney also mentions "looking at things from a different perspective" and that goes hand in hand with respecting others opinions. That is huge when reading poetry as a class, and in everyday life.

Post 24: The best plot in a movie

Harry potter movies have a great plot, I love watching them. The first one I remember the best (probably because I've read the book a few times as well). Of course the movie is based off of Harry finding out that he is a wizard and going to school to learn his abilities. This grabbed my attention from the beginning because although we know wizards aren't real, it had a nice story line and graphic animations to make you believe every spell was real, flying on the brooms was real, and all of the different things preformed were really happening before your eyes in the movie. With Harry being 11 and more movies to come, you get pulled in my the mystery of what being a wizard consists of. Although I was younger when they first started coming out with those movies, they still are very much a part of my life because they are so good to watch. He grows older through the movies along with everyone else like Ron, and Harmione. Harry starts out as a kid who lived with these terrible peopl...

Post 19: Metaphor that captures my life...

Life is like an elevator, On your way up sometimes you have to stop and let some people off. I really like this metaphor, because it is true. Over time there are so many people that come and go in our lives. Things happen, people grow and drift apart, while new come together. But, you cannot hold on to the ones that you have drifted apart from, or that are holding you back. Letting go is how you grow!
