Who are you? What makes you you? Your assignment for this week is to post a blog on who you are. I want to know what makes you tick. You must use Standard American English, correct punctuation, grammar, capitalization, etc. Although I am asking to write about you, be mindful that this is the internet.
If I deem your posting to be inappropriate or offensive in nature, I will remove your posting, and you will receive a zero. You will not be able to make up the assignment. This assignment is due by Saturday, March 19, 2011 at 11:00 PM.
When each of you has posted, I will respond with my own story.
ReplyDeleteSarah Brown,(:
ReplyDeleteI am Sarah Marie Brown. I live for God everyday, or at least try to. I am the type of person who thinks to much. I constantly weigh the outcomes of things. I over-analyze every situation. I suppose I do this, because I don’t like knowing that something bad happened because of a bad choice I made. I don’t try to be perfect. I like to strive for success, and I do set my standards high. But I do not aim for perfection, because I know I could never reach it.
At this point in my life, I realize that I am a people pleaser. I don’t think I could ever answer why. I am now attempting to though. I tell my self, that I don’t care what people think about me. I just care about how they remember me. I don’t ever want someone to ever think back about me, and remember a girl who was anything less then nice. I suppose, I care to much about this, that I live to please others. Don’t get me wrong though, I love to help other people. Just not to benefit them, and only them.
I think this is a short version, of a way to describe who I am, and what makes me tick. Some people may look at these as flaws, but I look at them as self-motivators. I believe it is far better to have thought something through, and failed. Then to have done something without thinking about it, and succeed. At least if I thought something through, I will have learned and be able to do it again. Then having done it, not knowing how you did it, and being a one-hit wonder. As for being a people pleaser, I just look at it, as me being a generous person. And this is who I am.

Kayla Brantley(=
ReplyDeleteI'm Kayla LeeAnne Brantley. I'm the youngest of four kids, Krystina, Kevin, Katherine (Nicole), and then me. I'm the most sensitive out of us four kids, and sadly the only one that anyone thinks will go anywhere or do anything with my life.
I love to write. I spend most of my time either writing stories or day dreaming and coming up with new ideas for my stories.
I'm a hard worker and I try my hardest to live up to the image that my family has set for me now. I admit that some times I try too hard, or some times I try to be perfect. I know that sadly I can never reach perfection, since it is impossible.
I always try to be on people's good sides; even if I don't really like the person, I want them to like me. I don't care what people think though, which is kind of strange since I try to be on everyone's good side. I just go along with the flow and do my own thing most of the time.
I love to listen to music. If I don't have my music you can bet that I'll probably start to get agitated. Music calms me down and helps block off the world when I don't want to deal with anything.
I'm always trying to out do someone, I don't like being second best or the worst, because being the youngest I was second best with most things.
I believe that all you really need in life is people who you care about and who care about you; true friends who will be there through everything no matter what. I believe that family and whatever your beliefs, be you Christian like me or Muslim like others, are extrememly important.
All that I can say is maybe I'm just me...
My real name is Twilight, after the time of early evening or early morning when the sun is below the horizon. My mommy really loved this time of day so she named me after that time. Clowns are terrifying and I can’t figure out why, I have just always been scared of them. Needles make me pass out when I see them, because when I was little I had surgery on my arm and I could feel the whole thing. I have a little bit of OCD so I do everything in 4s. I can’t explain why I do those things, but if I don’t it agitates me. So I touch everything 4 times, drink in 4s and chew in 4s. I realize I have bad traits such as procrastination and acting before I think, but slowly I am working to make those better.
ReplyDeleteI look at my friends’ mistakes to much and I base certain decisions now on there mistakes; I don’t want to end up making the same mistakes they did. I am the type of person that has troubles expressing my feelings and struggle with that everyday. I want to succeed in life and that is my top priority. But after this first year of high school, I have realized that things don’t come always come so easy. Little things can make me smile like those lame jokes on the end of a popsicle stick. My family is very important to me, and friends are second most. God is my Savior and I try to live for him as best as possible in my everyday life. I guess that’s just a few things that make me tick.
Kaylee
ReplyDeleteMy name is Kristen Kaylee Tuggle. There is a vast variety of adjectives I could use to describe me - hard-working, determined, overachieving, even annoying at times. Overall, though, I'm just a person trying to make it in this world, just a person trying to be happy. That's what makes me tick - happy, that's all I want to be. I want to be happy, and make other people happy, and I think that's the most noble pursuit in life - to better the lives of others (while still thinking of yourself, and not forgetting that you're important, too). I love wholeheartedly - not half-heartedly, or quarter-heartedly. I love with everything I've got and everything I know, and it's important to me to show the people that I love how much they mean to me. Sometimes that means I overstep boundaries, but that's just a part of what makes me, me. I don't think I'm especially anything except especially dedicated, and I think I'm okay looking and decently intelligent.

Davis Callaway
ReplyDeleteI am Davis Robert Callaway. I was born on February 14th of 1994, in Griffin, Georgia, to Robert and Dianne Callaway. I am a student of Griffin High School. My favorite subject is art. It’s a hobby of mine. Another interest of mine is thought. I love to sleep also. Lastly, I love to read.
Art is a passion of mine. I’m great at thinking of ideas to draw, paint, and show. Unfortunately most of these ideas only get as far as a very rough sketch due to my total lack of any artistic ability other than color association. Due to this limit placed on my ability, much of my works as of late are abstract and lack the basic principles of art. I am greatly influenced by Jackson Pollock and Marcel Duchamp. Both were revolutionary artists who made people question what art is. Both also lived and died before 1960. Because of this neither man ever saw the full impact of their work which at one time was considered childish and inartistic.
I am an intellectual. I spend most of my life in thought. Usually thinking of the future, of times when the world will know peace and love through understanding. I also find myself thinking of fiction, mostly movies. Movies that I want to make, movies I want to improve, even movies I don’t think should have happened. Another love of mine to think of is patterns in my thought. I think often of life. Often I find this subject depressing and mundane.
Sleep is something I know I don’t get enough of. The average teen requires more sleep for proper development than a newborn baby. Most of this is due to the fact that I like to read. I go to bed around 10:00pm on a weeknight and read till 12:00am generally. My weekends are usually spent in bed till 12:00pm sleeping. Sleep allows the subconscious to express itself freely, this is something I like.
Another love of mine, as mentioned before, is reading. I read mostly books that are required of me by the state of Georgia. I also read chose books, mostly basic psychology and book about human nature, i.e. Allen Moore’s Watchmen. Books allow us to study the ideas and though process people who are long dead, also to see the events as they happened throughout history. I also love book s that makes us question morals of the characters or ourselves, i.e. Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 and Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
In Summary, I am Davis. A thinker, reader, sleeper, artist who hates blogging.
Well there is a lot to say about me and just like everyone else there is a lot about me that makes me. I am like no other person you will meet. My life is full of ups and downs and it’s all very crazy. I try my hardest to be the best I can be. I try to please others but try to please my self more. I’m not afraid to say that I view myself more important then most people. I have a temper that will set of out of nowhere. I try not to get an attitude with people but it comes at a second nature. I speak my mind. I am never wrong in my eyes. I live for God, but I always fall from his path but I will always bring my self back. I view life as a journey with an ever ending path until you choose to end. I believe death is a new beginning because you are with God. I believe there is a song for any thing you are going through and when no one else will understand you a song will. I enjoy writing notes to people even though there is texting and calling. I don’t completely care what people think but when people keep coming up to you and saying you need to change then I seem to. Sweats are my life and so are t-shirts, but when Summer rolls around its time for the gym shorts. I try my best not to wear make up because I don’t want to damage my skin. My judgment is my judgment don’t try to change it. I try my best to keep my body in good shape. Love is something that makes the world go round, and it’s something I feel the attachment to have. Sweets are my life and make any sad mood better.

Sarah Tucker
ReplyDeleteFirst, and foremost, I despise talking about myself. How can I express who I truly am through words alone? But then one may ask why would you take a creative writing class if you can’t comprehend expressing yourself through the medium of words alone? This would of course be a topic to be discussed at a later date when fear of ranting is not approached.
People address me as Sarah. Habit and time have trained to be who I am, trial and error.
I don’t really ever know what I’m doing. I just do. I am never confident in my next step. I just walk. I walk and talk. I move forward with the rest of them but my path isn’t certain. On the outside, people see this girl who can be in her best moments, witty, charming, and maybe even pretty. The thing that exists that no one can see is the doubt, the ever-present self-consciousness, the humble, meek person I really am. I boast for nothing. I show no pride. I am what I am. I let people choose how they see me. I hold no personality of my own. I try to be the best I can be. I try to always help others whenever I can. My life consists of constant trying but at the end of the day I always feel as if more could have been given. I feel as though I always come up short, and that’s who I am. I am the basket of should’s, could’s, guilt and fear.
My biggest fear that shapes who I am greatly is my fear of being forgotten. This fear stretches to cover being left out of activities, to being forgotten altogether in someones life. I feel like this controls me more so than the rest of my fears, but with every cloud there is a silver lining. Since this fear is strong in my life, I am very conscious of including other people and never let anyone feel left out or forgotten because if you don't exist in someone's memory you don't exist at all.
All in all though I am just Sarah, and I do my best at being Sarah everyday.
My name is Elizabeth Marie MIchaels and people normally think Im a quiet person because im shy but once you get to know me im not. When I worry about something I will consnstantly worry about it until I find out about it or fix whatever is was. Im ready for high school to be over with and my parents always tell me that when im in the real world I will wish I was back in school but in truth i believe if I am happy with what I do in life after school that I will truly like it. Im normally a pessimist because when my life seems perfect I just wait for something to come and ruin it. I have a way I like certian things, like everything has to be how i want it. I have really terriable OCD. I really dont like to show my emotions to people. I hate PDA most of the time. Ii am an olny child, so i normally get whatever i want. Their are so many things in life I want to do,but I feel like there is just not enough time for me to accomplish them all. All in all I believe im a very private person because i dont really think people should know certian things about yourself. I feel like you should have friends and talk but just keep personal stuff to yourself because they might tell other people.
