10 Copies

      With 10 copies of myself for one whole day they would all do different tasks for me. Some of my copies will do tasks I personally have never worked up the nerve to do and some will do tasks I just want to take a break from doing. The number one copy will run a marathon for me because I have always wanted to participate in the experience, but not have to run. The second copy would go skydiving so that I can have the memory, but not actually having to jump out of a scary plane. The third one would write a book about my past and feelings. I have always wanted to write a book about everything I have learned through tough times. but get discouraged from all the overwhelming feelings. The forth copy would go to school for me that day while the real me takes a relaxing day. The fifth, sixth, and seventh copy would confront people that I have so many questions for, but am scared of or just do not want to see personally. The copies will ask the questions and I will finally have all the answers I want. The ninth copy will go and visit cancer kids at the hospital. I would want the copy to do everything possible to make the kids happy because that is what I would do. The final copy would clean my whole house spot less. I do not min cleaning, but after a while I do not feel like finishing it. My 10 copies would do productive things for me and would not go to waste.

High school

The quote "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...", describes high school very well. High school is a time of fun times, but also challenging times. During high school you will meet new people and will also have people who walk out of your life. Sometimes the people who leave are the people who you thought would always be there for you. Through people leaving and coming in your life you will discover who is your true friends. People leaving is hard, but the people who stay make it worth it. During high school you will get overwhelmed and stressed from the work, but when you go to get a job all the hard work will pay off and make you happy you pushed through the stress to get the good grades. There will be ups and downs in high school you just need to decide if you will let the bad times out do the good times. High school is what you make it through the good times and the bad times. 

Personal Assistant

     
       For one week I would love to have Albert Einstein as my personal assistant. During this week not only would we be doing certain projects together we would be having scientific conversations and conservations about life. In our conservations I would love to try and understand his brain and his view of the world. He did so many great things while he was alive and looked at the world in such a different way. Also during the week I would take him to different stores and restaurants to show him the way our world has changed. After showing him these places I would want to sit down with him and ask if in his opinion if the world has changed negatively or positively. I would listen to every word he had to say and I would document all of his thoughts. The final thing we would do is sit down with him and have him go over scientific and mathematical concepts I do not understand. This one week with Albert Einstein would be one week full of knowledge and discussion.

         

What Comforts Me

In a stressful situation, such as my family kicking me out or having family issues, very few things can comfort me. When I get stressed or overwhelmed I can only do few things that will not upset me more. Two people that can comfort me the most when I am stressed is my best friends Sydney Calez and Jillian Mathes. These two girls know me so well that they know exactly how to make me smile when I am sad or to simply get my mind off of things. Without my best friends I would be lost and my life would not be complete.  Another thing that comforts me and keeps my mind off of things is sleeping. Sleeping allows me to clear my mind and just take some time and get my mind off of things. Sometimes in stressful times I cannot sleep because my mind is moving so fast. Cuddling up with a large warm fuzzy blanket and watching one of my favorite movies help me fall asleep and comfort me. Without my best friends, sleep, warm blankets, and movie during stressful events I would not be comforted.

I AM

I Am

Colleen means a young girl

And that is what I am.

I am as fierce as a lion

But as innocent as a lamb.

I am a girl in this big world.

I am a leader

But I can follow the crowd.

I can be quiet

But I am not one to be lost in the background.

As strong as I am

I can still use a hand.

On my worst nights

I still fall asleep strong.

I am a professional at times

But most the time a weirdo.

I don’t like normal.

Standing out is who I am.

 I would like to believe

That I am one of a kind.

That I am unique

And hard to find.

I try my best

I always do.

Even at my worst

When I am feeling a bit blue.

 No matter who you are

I will do anything to help.

My big heart

Goes thump thump for everyone

big and small.

I am different and I love it

I wouldn’t change my life for the world.

My name defines me.

I am Colleen 

caring, curious, cautious and not common.

Two Thousands Ago

Living two thousand years ago I would choose to have ten chickens instead of a horse or cow. All the animals would be a good choice but the chicken has so much more use. The ten chickens can provide eggs, meat, and trading opportunities. Since there are ten chickens they will be able to reproduce faster and there will be a greater supply of eggs. Since there is a surplus of eggs from all the chickens there is a trade opportunity. If neighbors have cows there could be trade eggs for milk. There could also be trade for chicken meat for cow meat. That would provide a family with meat, dairy, and eggs proving that chickens are potent animals to have. A family could live off of the eggs from the chicken for a while and then when the chickens are older they can kill it for the meat. When a group of the older chickens are taken for the meat the chicks can be raised to take their place. This will be a continual cycle to support the family. Chickens would be a good choice to have two thousands ago.

The Life of the Pinata

  Today was finally the day for me to leave the store and explore the world. This really kind lady came in and ordered me for her son's birthday party. Before I could leave the store one of the workers stuffed me with a bunch of candy. I am pretty sure that at the end of the party the kids get to reach inside me and take a couple handfuls of candy. I love seeing how happy the kids get when they get a piñata and see all the candy inside. It was finally my turn to make all the kids happy. While thinking about all this I did not even realize that we had already arrived at the house of the party. The father had taken me out of the car and attached me to a tree. I thought he did this so that all the kids could see me and look forward to the candy. As I just hung there I watched them set up and the process of everyone showing up. I was getting so excited to see all the kid’s faces when they reached in and took out the candy. That is when I saw the dad and the kids come towards me with a baseball bat and blind fold. The birthday boy took the bat first and was blind folded than spun around three times. The next thing you know he hit me with the bat. I was so flustered. Kids just kept taking turns hitting. These kids are the most temperamental kids I have ever seen. Candy started pouring form me and I than realized my life was soon going to be over. It was all worth it though to see how much enjoyment the kids got from it. My first and last birthday party was unforgettable.
