Making a difference

In sociology this week we talked about the community service hours and I definatly kearned a lot. I learned that there are so many opportunities for me to help other individuals make their lives better. I'm super excited to have the chance to work with children and adults who have special needs. I'm planning on helping out is because I want to major in Special Recreation and help individuals with special needs. I have volunteered with things like this before and I loved it. It really makes you value so much more when you meet these people. They are possivtive about everything and anything. If you are having the worst day ever, they know exactly how to put a smile on your face. I 100% enjoy working with kids and adults who are special needed. By doing this assignment, I want to teach people that these individuals are just like you and I but they work differently and look different. I can't wait to finally get started with this!!

A New Beginning

The first day of Sociology was very awkward.  Salituro sat in the back of the room and was silent. You could hear a needle drop, that't how quiet it was.  Being in a class with some people that you have never met before can be nerve racking, but when Salituro started the class in silence, he was breaking our class out of our normal routine which is having your teacher stand in the front of the classroom and begin speaking, but he wanted us to do the talking.  Eventually we started talking.  Salituro made me feel uncomfortable at first when everyone was looking around the classroom and not knowing what to do, or whether or not we should talk but I think that our class learned something that not everything is set in stone and that anything can change in a split second.  When applying Sociology to my own life, I think of breaking your normal routines, stepping out of your comfort zone, and learning new things.  Taking each day one at a time and not looking back at the past and no regrets. 

All About Me

Who am I you ask?  Well, I don't even know who I am yet.  But I'll start with the main point.  My name is Kels and I'm a senior in high school.  I enjoy writing.  I love expressing myself in a way that no one can understand.  I also am planning on going to college next year.  I will be a double major in English/Writing and Psychology.  Besides writing, I love dancing, singing, and being outdoors.  I have been singing ever since I was a little kid, but when I was growing up, my parents put me into dance classes and I stopped dancing at 11 because I was too hyper of a child to focus.  Once I got to high school, I found out that my high school had a dance program and I decided to join my junior year.  I used to play softball ever since I was 5 and I loved it.  Everything thing that I did revolved around softball.  I stopped playing sophomore because I realized that I didn't want to play in college and it eventually started to take a toll on my body.  I love spending time outside during the Fall.  I love it when the colors of the leaves change.  I always like to spend as much time with my family as I can.  My family is very close.  The biggest influences in my life are my mother and my grandma.  My mother has tought me everything that I need to know, and always knows what advise to give me.  She is my best friend and i can talk to her about anything.  My grandma is the most wonderful person that I know.  She is 93 years old and still going strong and enjoying life.  She is why I enjoy everyday as much as I can.  Like my grandma says, "Live out each day, like it is your last."  My goals in life are to of course go to college and major in English and Psychology and then figure out the occupation that I want to go into later.  I want to be successful, but I don't want to be unhappy.  I just want to be happy in the long run.
