3 reasons to marry young

I got engaged and moved out of my parents house at 17. Though almost everyone told me that it was stupid and that i should not have done it, I think that it was alright for me to get married. It wasn't because i was pregnant like most people my age, it was because we loved each other. My parents were very angry and upset becuase they thought that i wouldn;t go to school, I proved them wrong. I think there are many reasons to marry young, here are 3.

1. You get to find out what it means to be independent at a young age, which i believe will help you later in life. It will help when you want to start a family and reach all the many milestones you will in life.

2. You can start a family at a younger age, you dont have to worry about waiting for the one later on in life. And you can watch your children grow up kind of as you are growing up.

3. Getting to enjoy more in life sooner, getting maried young means you get your house, travel with your husband and you can start all that at a young age so you will be able to do more.

I believe that marrying young can also lower divorce rates.

Fears

My biggest fear of all time would probably be clowns. I cant remember what made me be afraid of them, but ever since i was little, I was terrified. Actually just a couple summers ago, I was 16 and my family and i went to the landing in Branson missouri and in the center part of the landing was a clown making balloon animals for the kids. I literally had to go all the way around the landing to go around him. I was almost in tears then. I guess it is pretty serious.

I am also afraid of storms. Mostly tornados. I have been afraid of tornados since about the 7th grade. In 7th grade around October My house got hit by a tornado. Ever since then I have been afraid of their even being warnings. That is why wheni get my own home there will either be a basement or their will be storm shelter.

Overplayed

A song that is way too overplayed on the radio is Thriftshop by Macklemore. Even though this song is played way too much, I can't help but love it. I swear i hear this song about 7 times a day going to and from work. Everytime that i am listening to it in my car I bust out singing and kinda go crazy. I probably have every line memorized of that song. I am sure people driving by me think im nuts when im driving down the road singing and dancing around. My car turns into a stage when it comes on the radio. Macklemore actually is coming to Springfield and i couldnt be more excited.

Reliving a moment.

If I could relive any moment, I would choose to relive the moment when my fiancee proposed to me. It was April 20, 2012 at a Springfield Cardnial's game. It was cold, we were drinking hot chocolate and eating peanuts and a funnel cake. On Friday nights at the baseball game's they do a fireworks show. After hiding the ring in his hoodie pocket through the whole game he walked me up to the top of the stairs above the seats. and sat me down and told me that i was beautiful and that he wanted to be with me forever and that he could not imagine a life without me. I was so suprised and first i thought that he was kidding. You could definetly tell he was nervous because he almost put the ring on the wrong hand. It was very cute. After the proposal the fireworks started. They had perfect timing. I was 17 and so nervous about telling my parents. Telling my parents the way that i did that night is something that i definetly would not relieve if i had the chance.

What's your most interesting scar?

My most interesting scar would probably be the one on my right knee. When i was younger, I can't quite remember how old i was then but i was over next door at my grandma's playing outside one summer. The easter just a couple of months before, I had gotten a Spice Girl bike that had training wheels on it. That summer my uncle Rob told me that i was getting too old for training wheels. He took the wheels off of my bike and helped me learn to ride my bike with out them on. I tried to go around our houses by myself. Inbetween my house and my grandma's house is a shop where my dad and my uncles would work on cars or boats. As I was riding my bike around for the first time by myself i had hit a rock that was in front of the shop and i fell off my bike. The scar was caused by a small rock hitting my knee. I cried for a long time becuase there was gravel and dirt all inside of the cut. The scar now is just a fingernail sized bubble type scar on my knee. It isn't to embarrasing so i can still where shorts and everything.

Did they have kids' menu?

My favorite place to eat when i was younger was steak and shake. I always got A single steakburger and an order of fries. Actually till this day i still get that exact same thing. With mustard and pickles only of course.I do not go there very often anymore, when i do it is usually with my dad and my grammy.  My real dad and my grandmother do not live close to here, they live in Ohio. When i was younger they would visit mostly about once a year. Everytime they would visit they would take me to the steak and shake on Campbell in Springfield, MO. Across the road from that steak and shake was a Green bridge/ walkway that went over the road. Everytime they would park on the opposite side of the road just so that we could walk across the bridge together while we go to steak and shake. I love steak and shake and love that i have these memories with my family to spend there.

December

December is probably my favorite month because of the feeling that it brings to everyone, to me that is when people are the most happy. People are happy becuase it is the Holidays and they get a break and just get to enjoy time with their families. I love the holidays, in fact Christmas is my favorite holiday.I enjoy winter weather, scarves and jackets are my favorite to wear. I enjoy playing in the snow, even though i can't handle it for very long. I love watching christmas movies as soon as Thanksgiving is over. I wait for it all year around. Decorating is also a major part of why i love christmas, I was always the one to set up the tree at my parents house and always enjoyed setting up my mom's village above the tv. I long for the time when i have my own house to decorate and make how i want. I am a big baker, Christmas gives me an excuse to go visit my mom and cook a bunch of snacks to enjoy.I swear i gain prolly about 30 pounds between thanksgiving and Christmas. I love shopping and do not get to do it as often as i would like to, so i save up my money for awhile and since i have a huge family, i go and spend time shopping for them and always have such a good time. I sometimes will buy my self something as well. My most favorite part about december is becuase that is when i see my family the most which is sad. I am very family oriented and love being around my family. I think that is what the holidays should be about, spending time around your family and having a good time catching up on what has happened and eating really good food.

Knowing your audience

I really enjoyed this assignment, it let us put a personality to the name and learn a little about how each of us think and how we believe. The questions we all asked showed the type of people that we are and also showed our personalities.

One question that surprised me was Parker’s question, “What do you want to be?”, because to be honest this question for me at least, was one that I had think hard about. I decided that I wanted to be a teacher. After reviewing the answers of others I decided that this question was meant to be taken deeper than just what you wanted to do as your career. Kyle’s answer that she wanted to be a memorable person was the most surprising to me. It was a memorable answer.

Lee’s question, “What do you wish to accomplish in 5 years?” had the most expected answers like I want to start my career and have children. These answers are expected because starting a career or starting something you love to do is what most people want , having children and starting a family is also expected because if you haven’t started a family or started your career by now that is what you will want in the next 5 years to come.

Knowing my audience will impact my writing by knowing the audiences personality and what they are going to find interesting and what they will not. I will be able to know what my audience is going to be looking for which in turn will make papers and my essays more interesting to them and give me better feedback and better grades.

I came to the conclusions that I did because most people just give simple answers, answers that just pop into their head. The most surprising answer was thought out and that is why I chose it. I chose the answer that people would choose a family and a career because that is the most common sense answer most people will want that.

I believe the way you look defines who you are.

I believe the way you look defines who you are becuase to me outward appearence is important. Not bathing regularly and not keeping yourself trimmed and neat says to me that you are sloppy and that you do not care. Dressing like a hobo can also give this approach. People who want to have 15 different piercings on each part of their body are just looking for attention and are just asking for people to look at them. What that says is "im trying to look hardcore so people will talk about me" i have nothing against getting a peircing her or their or maybe even a tatoo but overdoing it does nothing but make you look like an idiot. Dressing nice and keeping clean on the other hand makes you feel good about yourself and says to others around you that you care about your appearence and that you are neat as well as clean. In my own personal experience, thereis a girl that i work with and she always looks like a mess and doesnt keep up with personal hygiene whats so ever.

I believe...

I believe that i am a good fiancee.
I believe that hardwork can get you anywhere.
I believe dogs are a mans bestfriend.
I believe the way you look defines who you are.
I believe shopping is real therapy.
I believe education is important.
I believe dressing up can change your whole attitude about yourself.
