My Career

      When it was time to pick a major for college, I knew exactly what I was going to choose, and that was to be a Criminal Justice major. I choose this because I've always wanted to be a lawyer. Since I was a little girl I've been a Law and Order SVU junkie. I feel like being a lawyer is exciting, and I know I'd be great at it. Because some of the qualities I posses are I'm great at arguing, and I was n the debate team in high school. I truly don't like arguing with people because I feel like its a waste of my time, but I know I'm good at it, and whether I'm right or wrong I'll make you think I'm right, and I hate losing so....plus who doesn't want to get paid for something their good at.
         
     Once I graduate from college I plan on moving to Atlanta, or New York to get my career started. The city just depends on what type of lawyer I want to be. My ideal employment in Atlanta would be, to be a celebrity lawyer, working at a great firm, making of the title for myself as the female Johnny Cochran. In New York I'd be a corporate lawyer, working at a firm who had clients like Macy's, Target, Walmart, Ralph Lauren, and others. To get where I want to be I know I have to succeed in college, and my dreams will become a reality.

Life Without T.V.

      If we could unplug all the TV sets in America, our children would grow up to be healthier, better educated, and more independent human beings.???

    To answer this question, its fifty, fifty. The reason kids would grow up to be healthier, better educated, and more independent without t.v. is because they wouldn't be so worried about what the media has to say as far as looks go, how they should act, and what they should do. Majority of younger children are easily influenced by what they see. Cartoon's, reality shows, and especially videos can change ones behavior. Me personally I've never been the type to care about what others or the t.v. had to say. But I did have a friend who felt she had to have whatever she saw on t.v,and by any means made sure to get it. Most importantly without any television I honestly feel like kids would  grow up a lot more respectful, the the t.v. really does have a "spell" over young kids.
     The reason the t.v. wouldn't help our children grow up healthier, better educated, and more independent is because,though t.v. is at the top their are other ways to influence children like with magazines, and people. Now a days no one can really think on their own, and if someone wants something to be a certain way they now how to manipulate, to get what they want. With no t.v magazines are their, to tell you how to look, dress, and what you should have. Its sad that no one really has a mind of their own, but we've been brain washed to live a certain life.

Me and The Monkey

    The painting I choose was Frida Khalos's, Self Portrait with a Monkey.  When it comes to the Purpose of this painting it was her showing a calmer side, and though her face is serious and it is said that monkey's are a sign of lust, she's showing a loving side with the monkey. The type of Audience she's trying to express herself to is anyone who has love for animals. Which is everybody but me.  The Stance or feeling toward the paining is love, and compassion, becuse she's sitting there and has the little monkey resting on her shoulder, and the jungle in the background could denote that she likes nature.
     The Design of the paintiing is simple. She uses colors that are warm because thats the jungle. Everything blends with eachother,but the green in her hair stood out to me because it felt a little out of place. Overall the painting gets two thumbs up, and though I'm not a big animal lover I still have an attraction this painting.

WHY Wright State??

To me education is important, and yes I've always dreamed of going to college. But when it came to Wright State I feel like I choose it for the wrong reasons. Since my sister went to this school I thought it would be okay, she even told me the schools not bad, but if it wasn't that bad she wouldn't have ended up going home. Also, I felt that I needed to get away from home, but three and a half hours is honestly too far especially when its boring, Wright State. I never thought to look at what the school offered to see if it would be right for me, because I really didn't care. I just knew this was the only school I applied for and, if I was going to another school it was going to be outside of Ohio, something I knew I wasn't ready for as a freshman. But once I got here and started getting a feel for things, my mind opened up, and I feel like my bad choice turned out to be okay, and I'll be sticking around for the next four years.
