Blog #3: Most Influential Person

I believe that Miley Cyrus has made an impact within the music industry. Although not every thing she has does has been good, it hasn't all been bad either. She has a way of connecting with her fans that she is understanding of all. She makes sure that they don't feel like they can't be who they are and she also expresses this through her music. With all of her crazy attempts to get the media going, she does a pretty good job. She has changed the way that people think about her type of music. She went from sweet Hannah Montana to a wilder Miley. This shows how people change and how she wanted to make her mark in this industry. 

Miley has also to achieved winning many awards. Some of her awards include: Grammy, MTV, Golden Globes and many more. She has also contributed to charity and has done many other things to make a difference!

Blog #2: Current Event

The article that I read talked about Syrian refugees and how the U.S. is giving them aid. The aid that they are giving them currently is blankets, food, and first aid. After reading this article it made me realize how there are many things in this world that are going on that I have no idea about. I personally don't keep track just because I feel like I don't have the time. I am still unsure how important it is for me to keep up during this part of my life either. The article goes into more detail about how whether or not the U.S. should bring Syrian refugees to the U.S. and protect them from the attacks and bombings of ISIS. Some people believe that we shouldn't because it is dangerous not knowing if some of the people could potentially be apart of ISIS. Other people believe that we should protect these innocent people and bring them into the U.S. unknowing if they really are innocent or not. What I believe is that the first priority of our country is to make sure that our citizens here are safe and protected first. We shouldn't have to risk our own safety to protect the people in Syria. It's probably best that we just continuing giving them aid but to not stretch the inch to a mile by inviting them to stay in our country unknowing what they are capable of. This will potentially impact my life because my safety could be on the line. I must be alert as to what is going on in this world to make sure that I am safe.

Blog #1: New Year’s Resolution

2015 was a pretty stressful year. After summer ended, life really made a turn. Realizing it was senior year and big life decisions were headed my way for the new year really freaked me out. The thought of saying goodbye is always sad but thinking of a new start is refreshing. So many things changed in 2015 and it's crazy for me to think that there will be even more in 2016. New friends, new place to live, new school, a new way of living life. I am going to have to learn how balance all of these things out but I am confident I will be able to do it.

As of now, my important goal (or resolution) for 2016 is to be the best prepared I am able to for college and start off my first semester at Arkansas with a bang. I want to achieve this goal so that I am successful for when I become a nurse. Some obstacles that I am going to face is not always knowing what is going to be best and how to keep going. I will make mistakes along the way but I will need to learn from them and move on. I will be able to determine my success by the reflection of my grades at the end of my first semester. As long as I put in my best effort, my grades will hopefully reflect that. I will gain many benefits reaching my goal like: being ready for the next part of my life, having the knowledge to becoming a nurse, and even things like having new friends and having fun. I look forward to this next step and my life and seeing how much things are about to change for the good, I can't wait!
