WHAT WAS YOUR BEST EXPERIENCE THIS SEMESTER?

Well I had a lot of experience that I have been missing for about six years, ever since I got out of high school, I think adjusting back to school was the hardest, because it has been a while since I have been to any kind of class, especially studying every day, and trying to get my brain working and focused, I am still a little confused on what I want to be or do, I know I want to get into natural resources, something in that field. And another thing is just getting use to college, because I can't screw around, I have no help from my family because they are broke so I took out some school loans, so I can't screw around because I will eventually have to pay it back, so I need to succeed so I am not in debt my whole life.

DO YOU LIKE MUSIC? WHY? WHAT KIND'S OF MUSIC DO YOU LIKE.

I love music, It mostly relaxes me, but it depends on what kind, love reggae music it is so peacefull and I love what they sing about, well not all of it but majority of it, I also like oldies it is calm and some of it is funny, and the music has changed in so little of time, I also listen to country but mainly with my girlfriend who makes me listen to it, I mean like some of it but they are always singing about there girl leaving them and taking there dog, and there ford truck stopped running, I also like rock but some of it is to crazy and gives me a headache, I also listen to rap once in a while depends on who, and I also listen to all kinds of world music which is cool becuase they are all so different in there own ways like there country and culture.

READING REACTION 2: WHAT OUR THE GOOD AND THE BAD WITH DEALING WITH KIDS? WHY?

My name is Derrick Amstadter and I have babysitted my llittle brother and his friends on and off for a long time, and it is mostly fun, but everything has a good and a bad to it, the only bad part was when they do not get there way they would start pouting and I would have to give them a time out, but all kids act dilfferently so sometimes it is hard to keep them all happy, so I learned to keep them all busy buy playing games with everybody and not to leave anybody out, I like watching them at this age because they are learning so much, so I tought them about responsibility and sharing and to work together, and I also help them with there school work and etc, and if they do really good we will go to the park and play, witch they love because I let them do stuff they usually can't do with there parents but I make sure that everyone is extremly carefull and that they behave really good, I think It works out pretty good because I talk to them like adults and they like that because it makes them feel older, and I also like watching them because society is crazy and I rather them be with me then out in the streets roaming around getting in trouble or even getting really hurt.

WRITE ABOUT A FAVORITE MEMORY FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD. TRY TO USE AS MUCH DETAIL AS POSSIBLE.

When I was about three or four years old my mom always took us to the park to ride our bikes, she would bring my brother and some of our friends, and it just so happens I was the youngest out of the group and the only one with training wheels, and when we would ride they would ditch me because I could not keep up with the older kids and they would always make fun of me because of the training wheels and this happened almost every day. Then one day it was just me and my mom and it was a nice summer day so I talked her into going to the park and letting me try to ride the bike without training wheels on, she was hesitent at first becuse she thought I was rushing into it to early but she new I was tired of the other kids teasing me and that I wanted to keep up with them. So she took them off, I hopped on that bike so quick and was off I felt like I was a natural I don't think I even fell once, I told my mom not to tell any body bacause I wanted to surprise them. The next day we went to the park and started to ride, they took off quickly like usual to ride laps around the park they thought they ditched me but when they turned around I was still with them and then they noticed I took off the training wheels and ever since then I was able to keep up with them and I was not considrered the baby any more.

DESCRIBE A PERFECT WEATHER DAY WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A DAY LIKE THIS.

A perfect wheather day for me is sunny about 80-90 degrees with a little bit of a cool breeze, with no clouds in the sky, and I would go fishing early in the morning to start the day off at the lake until people start to show up, then we would start riding some seadoos or a jet ski which we wolud ride all day, and of course we would bbq and have some drinks and relax until the sun set then we would get a little camp area, start up a camp fire and camp there and remenouse about everything.

IF YOU COULD INVITE THREE FAMOUS PEOPLE TO DINNER, WHO WOULD YOU INVITE? WHAT WOULD YOU TALK ABOUT? WHAT WOULD YOU EAT?

This is a hard journal to right because I really don't know who I would have dinner with, If I could choose three famous people I guess it would be with Abraham lincoln because I love what he was about and what he was trying to fight for, so I would pick his brain a little bit and see if he likes the way the country and the world is being ran now. I would also invite Bob marley because I love what he sings about and what he was fighting for like equal rights and justice for all man kind, raggae music relaxes me because it is so peaceful. I would also pick his brian with the same qustions. And the last person would be my brother, even though I have had dinner with him plenty of times but not recently, I never get to see him any more and he is like my roll model, I would ask him how is work and life treating him and that we should talk more often. And we would problably eat some steak and ribs with corn on cob, bacon wrapped mushrooms and esparagus and a whole lot of wine.
