Homes for the Homeless

Watching the TED Prize video clip made me realize what kind of problems have aroused in the world, and what we need to do to overcome these issues.

I love the cities. The big skyscrapers, the lights, and the entertainment. But all of this blinds my sight when I see homeless adults, and even children.

Homeless, is a huge ongoing problem in the United States. Mostly people in Africa are homeless. But in the U.S. there are three million that have no homes. Most people become homeless because of their loss of job, mental illness,drugs or natural disasters.

Many people that are homeless are without jobs. We will ask managers of factories if they will provide jobs for them. Most of these jobs will only be offered at restaurants, gas stations, and grocery stores in order for them to get back onto their own two feet again.

I would like for President Obama to send the army into taking these homeless people into shelters and caring for them. Making sure that nobody is sleeping on the streets that night,and they have enough beds for everyone. Doctors will be available to treat any wounds or diseases that may be on hand.

Knowing that there there isn't enough room in the shelters to house all of the homeless people. We will raise money to build enough to give everybody a home, a bed and food.

These three wishes aren't much to ask for when lives are being taken from us...

Back Home...

There are many things that I love about spring! The green grass, flip flops and shorts! :)) But the one thing that I love the most is baby lambs. Every spring we have new baby lambs roaming are pasture in Westby. This spring we have 25 new baby lambs :) usually the moms have about 2-3. We lost around eight during birth :(. Luckily to say though that we only one who needs to be bottled fed because her mother neglected her.

We have about 50 sheep! One donkey, one cat, and two dogs! Pretty much a zoo I must say!

We don't name all of our sheep, but half of them have there own name. Our black cat name is Frankenstein, shes a girl. hahah.. The donkeys name is Zeek. And our two dogs are Annie who is half pug and half beagle, and Mia who is full border collie.

I use to show sheep at the local fair in my 4-H. I really enjoyed showing. Althouh I'm done showing, I love to watch my sisters compete. Just like everything, I always have to have a favorite animal. My favorite sheeps name is Babe :) She use to be bottled fed when she was younger, and I was the one who took care of her. Shes done great in show, winning blue ribbon after blue ribbon. And shes the one who one showmanship of my class with me. She always comes up to me and lets me pet her :) Does anybody have an animal they adore?

Mood vs. Mind

AWESOME DAY: One day you had a…

nice breakfast
an awesome conversation with your mom on the phone
an “A” on your midterm
You felt fabulous that day!!

BAD DAY: Then another day, you…

got your favorite pants dirty
a guy in class was being annoying
you failed your quiz
you come home with a sink piled with dishes
You felt CRUDDY that day! Have you experienced this? Well I have…plenty of times!

My question is: should we allow what happens in our day to determine our attitude and actions?

Well, lately I’ve been allowing my day to affect me. I’ve been running around crazy with my busy schedules… I haven’t been allowing my mind to breath. Instead, I’ve been taking it all in the unhealthy way.

Lately, I’ve been allowing myself to consume in my work, my days, my future, & on myself! Ugh… I came to a point where I couldn’t take it anymore!! I couldn’t help but cry everyday. I’ve been going on facebook, allowing gossip to get the best of me, watching youtube videos, engaging in worthless talk. Don’t get me wrong. All of these things aren’t bad, but if this is ALL that you do EVERYDAY, it will become bad. Because these things are taking control of you rather than you taking control of them.

I literally felt like an addict not being able to go on facebook. So sad!! Allowing myself to all of these things has truly affected my speech, thoughts, and actions. For instance, I used to be very aware of gossip to the point where I have to stop the person from talking because I didn’t want to be part of it. Now, I’ve become numb to it. I’ve been allowing myself to be around people that won’t stop after telling them to. So I’ve come to a point where I stopped mentioning it and simply not talk about it but let that person vent all they want, as long as I’m not saying any of it. But this has caused me to slowly to take part of it! So my recommendation with friends that are gossipers, to confront the person gently and if they do not stop, then you MUST not hangout around that person too often. It’s honestly NOT healthy for you!!


So I decided to get away from facebook for a while and to start going to bed early in order to start my morning on a good foot. Being off a facebook has already allow me to be productive and finish my work quicker than before.

Friends In All the Right Places

It's about time that I let them know what I think about them. They give me strength to overcome the obstacles that block my path in life. I share my pain and pleasure with them. They are always there to make me see that there is a light at the end. They lift me up when I am down. I hope they know how grateful I am to have them, how so grateful that I can count on them. They're all there for me when I'm losing ground. I know that if I'm ever low, they will give great words to make everything alright.



Over the years in High school, you find out who your real friends are. College has been tough when you don't see your close friends from highschool everyday in the hallways. The close ones who can give you quick advice about your boyfriend or sharing the latest test answers before class..copying homework in the morning before the the bell rings. Knowing that someone will tell you the new gossip surrounding the school. Sharing rides to the upcoming basketball and football games. I miss random notes that we would hand eachother during class :p... how close we all were...i miss everything...




I love all of my friends very dearly. I wouldn't be the person who I am today without them. They shape and mold who I am. When you find the right friendships...life becomes a little more easy. The ones who give you the guarantee that they will always be there for you, makes you feel worthy. The ones, who follow you all through your life, will be there till the end. There are no better friends, than friends like these...
