Writing about 09

So the year of 09 is ending. Here I am writing about how some good came of it, some upsets, losses, gains, troubles, headaches, pains and positives. 2010, What do you have in store for me? The year of the tiger? this should be good because the year of the Ox was something, and I am an ox. What happen? lots but again I gained a lot. As I look over the year, I have made a lot of new friends and even found a new heart. Dance has became my new heart. I wasnt a dancer, yet many people say I am good. I wonder if they are just being kind. But I should believe in myself like many mentors have told me. I guess its the rockhead in me. My friends have made me, mold me and changed me from what I would of been to someone much different, like a new glow. I like it at the same time, I wonder if it will last. After all, I am a person who moves so much.... =)

A turn in music?

Music. I love music down to the very beat. Most of the time I dont care for the lyrics but others I do. I am not against the artist, its just I like to feel the beat and understand the tempo. I cant stay within hip hop or R & B because it has changed so much and I like different styles. But people say that now and days songs are not good or really bad. Well, time is moving with the age of the younger crowd. Just remember how it was years ago. Parents said the same thing. I am not making a huge statement to leave this age's music alone because there is some I disagree on; but its just music is something one understands themselves not what others understand for them.

JOBS

Jobs have been on my mind lately. lol What a shock, I feel this is a rough subject. Reason being because peoples pride get in the way of a job that could help them. For example many people say they couldn't do fast food work industries yet their quick to get food their. Sometimes I want to say be in their shoes, and deal with customers like you, demanding everything. Many people couldnt do yard work or gardening. To me that is top notch. Why? well a lot of people do not wish to work outside and if you do a couple of houses a day, and each day you do the same and charging the same rate, you could be making bank. But because its outside "service" you dont want to do that. I say you as the person who feels they couldnt do that job. Not a certain race or gender but anyone. Another reason, people dislike unreasonable wages. Example, working for a decent sit down, not much to do type job, people request for $10.50 an hour, or $11.00. I really believe you have to work from small to the top. So that 8.75 could turn to 12.75 over time if you work up the chain.

Personally, I dont care for money if I love to do what I do. I am a teacher. (STOP RIGHT THERE WITH THE JOKES). I love working with students and helping them see the joy in something they want to do without the love of money. If my students love dancing and want to become a choerographer for artists, I want to help them. If they love working with others because they love to be helpful... I will help them become social workers. Whatever the case may be, I want them to see the positive of what they want to do instead of what media says about their dreams.

Enough is enough right?

You all have been to that point in your life where you say, "Enough is enough." For me, I have some issues about not giving up, or giving in and so today for me was my enough is enough moment. Today, I told myself, never again will allow myself to be surrounded by people who dont appreciate me. Never again will allow myself to believe I still have the same connections I use to have with people, when times have changed between us. Enough is right, and I am sure you know what I am talking about.

Starting a Business

What kind of business would you love to start?? I love that question. I love working with kids and elementary students. Ever since my senior year in high school (2002), I have been working with elementary students after school. Back then, I didnt see the teacher that is in me now; however, seeing the love of teaching elementary students, I want to start my own after school program. Hire educators with high passion for teaching. Because it is after school, I want to focus on areas that are not recieving enough attention in schools, such as music, art, science, and the expressive arts like drama and dance. I know sports is another way to lead kids down a focus path but I believe sports isnt everything and not always the number answer to keep kids/students focus. I know in my heart that if we start teaching the joys of these subjects after school, it would be alive in our future instead of a dim light.

Season Year Round?

So I am blogging about my favorite season year round. haha, I am sorry but the world doesn't circle around my idea of the seasons. =) But I have to say, I would love to have a Summer/Winter type all the time. Reason being, I love the cold but I love the hot too. When its like 20 outside (in the united states), I have my window open and fan blowing. 90 outside... im not in shorts, short tee or summer clothes... I have my hoodie on. I am not odd like that but I just have a different feel for things than others do. If Fall and Spring were not in the picture, I think I might just be really happy.

What makes you laugh the hardest?

To me, I have to say anything with my family. Somedays we just know what's on each other's mind and other days we just put each other on blast. Its so funny to me because its not like we are hurtting each other to the point we wont talk anymore but we all get a laugh. I sometimes would get put on the big screen (for those that don't know... its worse than on blast). It would be sooo funny. Yet, I would get my mom and everyone too. That is what makes me laugh the hardest... FAMILY...
