Blog #5: I love KC

I truly do love KC. It has formed me into the person I am today. There has been so many different places I have spent my time that have shaped the memories I will hold for the rest of my life. The first place is my Grandma’s house. Learning all of the history behind my mom’s family moving from Vietnam to a tiny two bedrooms, one bath house with 12 kids started the bond within my family. Having all of our family get together for Christmas and other holiday’s there in the small house in KC out of all the places we could’ve been will be something I will never forget.

There are also all my friend’s houses that I have spent countless hours at. It isn’t necessarily the places that we have been that I love, but the memories that I get from those places are what I love. Like going to Matilda’s, Brady’s or Courtney’s basement to watch a movie or just to hang out. These places are where I will remember majority of my memories from high school.

Although I am going to Arkansas next year, my heart will always be here in KC. This is where I started and this will always be my home. I am comfortable here and feel like this is will always be a comfort zone for me. Who knows what my future holds. I know that this is a safe place and I look forward to look back to think about all the places I have been around in KC.

 

Blog #4: TV Rescue

If I got kidnapped by someone, I would call the characters on Gossip Girl. All of the characters on this show, considering they are rich and mischievous, would be very helpful to have. If anything was to happen to me, they would know what to do. This whole show was about how they were trying to figure out who one person was and some of the things that they had to go through was horrifying. The kidnapping event, started at my work. We were having a gymnastics class and my boss called me to the back. He was new and we all assumed he was just a really nice guy. My new boss kept calling me to his office in between classes and asked me for information I have not ever been asked before like "where do you live", and "who lives at your house". I thought he was just gathering this information so that he could enter into the work system but I was wrong. One day when I came home from work, I opened the door and was kidnapped by my new boss. I was screaming at the top of my lungs and was more terrified than I have ever been. Luckily, I had my phone on me and was able to call the cast of Gossip Girl. Chuck was the first one to answer and he hired his private investigator to figure out all he could about my new boss. Check called Blair to see if she could track him down as his investigator figured out who is really was. I was thrown into a dark closet and wasn't sure where I was. He told me to be quiet and I tried thinking about ways I was able to escape by myself. Serena suggested to send into Gossip Girl a blast about how I had gotten kidnapped and if anyone had seen me or they guy. As soon as the blast went out, a ton of people started responding saying different spots they had seen me and my new boss. Once the cast started putting all the clues together, they came and found me in the closet. Chuck's detective figured out that my new boss moved from another state after trapping multiple girls in closets where he once lived. I was thankful I had their contact for them to find me.
