Assignment#17-Halloween

My favorite halloween even that I have ever gone to would have to be when I went to The Slaughter House. This is in Tucson, Arizona.  This was a Meat Packing Plant back in the day. one day, These article starting coming out about missing kids who were last seen in the plant, and found out they were slaughtered, amoung others as well. Soon after the police saw they were slaughtering people, they shut the place down. Now for halloween, they set up the place, and just deck it down in scary decorations, and dress a lot of people up. Now, this place is in the middle of no where, so its just dirt and this huge building. once you walk up, you have bloody clowns, zombies and some other things. You walk up and they are just everywhere, they will chase after you once you get close. You could even be far away, and you will see someone running at you from a far. After you get past the creepy people, there are four lines, you can pick which one you go in first. One of the haunts is called Twisted Tree Mortuary, whoich is you just walk threw as people will act as if they are sleeping, but suddenly spring up and scare you. The second on is called Carnevil, this one, as your walking threw there are dead bloddy scary clowns that will jump out, yell at you, and chase you. The third haunt is called The broiler room, when I went, Me and my friend  couldnt go threw the whole part of the building. it was THAT scary! And last but not least, the fourth haunt is called The City Meats. On the Slaughter House website, they say this one is the scariest! It gives you warning on not to go in if you have any health conditions. It sayd you may be grabbed jumped at, maybe even bitten. But most of all, they have fluids that will squirt at you as your being scared!

Assignment #11-Free Choice; First Tattoo

When I got my first tattoo, I was living in Tucson AZ, and came to visit my mom for my birthday. I was turning 16, and my mom told my sister she would get her a tattoo (Blue Collar Tattoo). Sadly, for my mom, I remembered and said it wasnt fair that shed get my sister a tattoo and not me.

So as I went to visit, on the 15th of July (my birthday is the 16th) me and my mother went to the tattoo shop that she got her tattoos at, I told the guy what tattoo I wanted, and where i wanted it. I wa so nervous on how painful and stuff. As he was setting up his station I was just sitting there shaking.

When I was getting the tattoo. the pain wasnt that bad, UNTIL he went over a spot the second time, then it hurt pretty bad. After it was done, it was pretty awesome, and i was so excited! now when people as how much it hurt, I just say that if they go over a spot that they already did, it hurts, but mostly it was the noise of the matchine that got to me.

Assignment #10- Happiest Place on Earth

My happiest place on earth is when I'm at my boyfriends house. His family makes me feel like I'm so loved, and welcome there. I have so much fun while there. I usually will talk to my boyfriends mother, and socialize with her for a while. and if I'm not doing that, I'm in my boyfriends room playing video games with him, on youtube, or something as simple as just watching tv with him. No matter what I'm doing, I'm always having fun over there!

Assignment #5- Politics

I do not follow politics because it is not in my interest and I just dont bother with anything that is in the politic range. I am a republican.

I am not sure if my parents are registered with political party.When I turn 18, I will not vote because i think it is a waste of my time, since i am not involved in that political stuff.

 I dont have any social issues that i like the most. and if i could pick anybody to be the president of the United States of America, it would be Betty White. I would pick her because she is very funny, she gives more than she wants to recieve. she is a great person.

Assignment #8- Stranded

If I was stramded on an island alone, the first thing i would bring would be my dog, Abby.he has been with me ever since I have been in second grade. She is definitely my baby.

And last but not least, my third thing that I would bring with me to this island would be my necklace that my boyfriend got me for Valentine's Day. I love it, and i wear it everyday.

Assignment #9- My top five Clothing Companies

Here is a list of my top five clothing companies.

Vans (1966)- First store opened up in Anihiem, California. This store started from shoes, and moved up into a little bit of clothing. More of a skater type look.

Zumies (1978)- First store opened in Seattle, and now has over 400 store locations all over the United States. Very similar to Vans. More towards the skater tyle clothing.

Tilly's (1982)- The first store opened in Southern California. This clothing relates to Vans and Zumiez. Leads to skater clothing as well as motorcross and snowboarding clothing.

Forever 21 (2006)- First store opened in Pasadena, California. They have very cute clothing. more towards matture, vintage clothing.

Pacsun (N/A)- First store opened in California. The clothing they have is very cute. similar as my other choices, a very vintage, old style, as well as new, skater style. This is my favorite store!

Assignment #7- Role model

The person I look up to as a role model would have to be my, not only boyfriend, but best friend, Stephen. I look up to him as a role model because of all of his different traits and how he is, personality wise. He is just a great person all together.

Some of the traits that I like the most about Stephen is, he is such a nice person. He is always so kind to people he knows, as well as doesnt know. His priority in life is to make the ones he loves happy, which is his family and friends. If any one of his friends or family needs something, he is always there for them, as well as me. He lives in Tucson, Arizona, which is 7-8 hours away from Costa Mesa, California. And he is still always there for me, helping me buy things I need that my mom cant help support, or buy. He is always caring for me, more than anyone ever has, he makes me happy, and helps me find the bright side to every situation. And most of all, the thing I love the most about him, is he NEVER gives up.

Stephen being a good person, helping others and putting them before himself makes me want to be the same way. i love when he makes other people happy and having them always want to be around him. just reassures me that he is a good guy, and he really cares about things that a lot of teenage guys don't care about. I want to be similar to him, put people before me in the right situations. I want my priority to be making people happy, all the time. And always be able to help my family and friends whenever I can. And help people get their needs, that they cannot get themselves.

I think being like him, looking up to a person like him, I could get really far in life. Live successful, have an amazing job, and well as an amazing family one day. I have been looking into being a nurse, or towards somewhere near that. And having a great personality like Stephen, I would do great. and help a lot of people in a lot of different ways. Make sure the people I love and the people are around me are happy to the fullest.

Assignment #6- Being Charitable

If I could choose any charity in California, I would choose Tony La Russa's Animal Recuse Foundation. I would pick this one because I love animals, and I enjoy being around them as well as saving their lives from whatever that case may be.

while doing research on this charity, it formed in 1990, during a baseball game, a cat wandered into the field during a game, the cat got scared and ended up being secured by a couch from one of the teams. He kept the cat safe until the end of the game, then he took the feline to a shelter. Their mission is to save dogs and cats who cant stay in a shelter any longer, or are getting abused at home, or as well as being homeless.  

Assignment #4- Dream School

If I could pick any school to go to after I graduate high school, it would be the University of Arizona (UofA). I would choose this school because it is a very successful school, also because I am from Arizona, and I am familiar with the campus because I did a volleyball camp there in the summer of '09.

If I was able to go there, I would most likely study in medicine or nursing. I would major in that because I have the personality for that type of work, as well as the patience. And to add to that, I already know quiet enough stuff about medicines.

The students that go to UofA, are very successful in life, have their priorities straight, and also are so nice and kind to one another. the teachers there as well, are very kind, and helpful. they are there because they actually want to be there.
