Ted Talk 6

Sarah Kay did the talk.  It was called "If I Should Have a Daughter".  It was about how she began learning spoken poetry and how easy it is for people to do it.  There are three steps into becoming a spoken poet the first is I can, The second is I will, and the third is keep progressing and moving forward.  Her and her friend, Phil Kay, have a group called Project Voice which was first just a way to get her friends involved in it, but now it has been redefined and travels to different schools and communities teaching people using spoken word poetry. 

Comfortable Job Vs. Challenging Job

If I could choose between a comfortable job and a challenging job, and the pay was the same, I would probably choose the comfortable job.  Having a challenging job would be nice if I liked a challenge every day, but it would bring a lot of stress which would lead to depression and moodiness!  If I had a comfortable job I would still be working but in an environment that would create less stress and make me feel at home!  Comfortable is the way to go!

My Dream Car

My dream car is a voltz wagon bus!  I love vw cars and I love old vintage things.  I have wanted a vw bus since I was little!  Many people want a mercedes, mustang, or bentlys, but old is definitely the way to go!  Also, one other car I would love to have would be an old truck!  My friend's dad and brother are fixing up an old old truck and repainting it and it is the prettiest car I've ever seen!  I love big muscular trucks.  The bigger the better!!

If today was my LAST DAY...

If today was my last day to live, I would try to do as many things on my bucket list I could.  I would call up all of my relatives and tell that that I loved them.  I would apologize for anyone I hurt and try to make things right. 
I know this is what I would do if today was my last day to live, but I will never know when my last day is, so I should live everyday like its my last.

If money wasn't a necessity...

If money wasn't a necessity, I would work at the zoo.  I love animals and I love going to the zoo!  When I was little my papa would take me every year to the Phoenix Zoo, and we would always spend the whole day there, making sure we visited all the animals and went through the playground atleast four times.  I practically grew up at the zoo and it is definitely a special place for me!  If money wasn't an option I would definitely work at the zoo!
One other job I would love to do if money wasn't an option would be to be a character at Disneyland!!  I love everything Disney and how cool would it be to work as a character at Disneyland for a career! 

Memories From Elementary School

One of my memories from elementary school is my last day of sixth grade.  We decided to have a partysince it was my teacher's birthday, and my friend Jacob's birthday.  We had a rootbeer float party and then had fun activities all day.  All the girls straightened their hair and all the boys, that could, put their hair in pony hawks.  I was sad that it was my last day ever at Greenbriar.  These were the people I practically grew up with and now we were all parting.  Only about 6 of us were going to Desert Sky and the rest went to Highland lakes.  I was going to miss all of these people until I saw them again in high school.

What Makes a Good Parent?

The difference between a deadbeat parent and a good parent can sometimes be difficult to distinguish.  Honestly, its your opinion if the parent is a good parent or a bad parent.  For example, my opinion of a bad parent would be someone who leaves their child alone who is incappable of doing things for themselves.  Also, leaving a child in the car with the windows up for a certain period of time is dangerous for the child.  Also, in my opinion, a bad parent would be one that let their kids go out partying whenever they wanted to, knew their kid was sexually active and did't say anything, and a parent that won't punish their child after doing something wrong.  This gives the child no respect for their parents.  They will think they can walk all over you and get away with anything they want.

A good parent, in my opinion, would be a parent that spends time with their child.  This lets them know you are always there for them.  Another example of a good parent is to not be the "cool" parent.  This example is more for the moms.  THey like to hang out with their daughters and her friends and gossip and they dont ever want to punish them.  You had your years as a teen so there is no need for you to try to relive them through your daughters.  A good parent is one that will set boundaries for the kids.  Laying down the law will keep your kids out of a lot of trouble and they will respect you for it!
