The Way I Dress

   Everyone has their own style or fashion. My style presents who I am. My style could a mood of how I am feeling. I believe that I should dress to impress everyday. Fashion can determine wheter your happy or sad and it can also mean if you get a job or not. My dress is professional or business woman considering a collar shirt, jeans and sperrys.
 My defintion of a business womans style is what I just described, a polo, jeans, and sperrys. I go for the professional look at times. If it is a rainy day or its gloomy outside my style is usually basketball shorts, sweats and a t-shirt. My philosphy is if I am going to a job interview the dress code is causal. It is good to set a good example with what I wear and how I wear it.
 If I present myself well, I believe people will treat me better and with respect. Fashion can throw mixed emotions about people. If a teacher wears jeans and a polo they will be taken serious. My style is what presents me to others and I want to reflect something good!

Social Networking

  Social Network are things such as facebook and myspace. It  is a way to communicate with people long distance without using the telephone. Social networking has a postive effect in todays world and a negative effect , but I am going to be going into the negative effects. The negative effect is that it can effects peoples interacting skills and it can make children and teens addicted to the internet.
  The first effect is on peoples interacting skills. When you get around other people your quiet and don't know what to say. A job interview, when the boss asks you questions you answer with a simple question when there is more that needs to be said, social networking can effect people in that way. For kids, kids should stay online for the most 3 of 4 hours. This shouldn't distract time with school or time outside. Kids that stay online for hours and hours get addicted and would effect them in there everyday life.
 Facebook should be a good social network for people. Talking to family memebers that are in another country, and hooking up with old friends. This is the purpose of Facebook I think. The age limit of these networks should be 12 and older. One day ther is good to be a positive effect on all social networks.

How God Changed Me

   I am a Christian, and I have been once since I was about seven or eight years old. I accepted the Lord back in my younger days because I was on fire for God. The devil showed up in my life and I became distant from God. Being distant from God got me in a worldly way off living and my choices became worldly.
   As a teenager my passion for God changed and my life seem like I was stuck in the same spot and area. The devil came in my life and brought girls as a distraction. With me playing basketball and all girls who play basketball are gay, I refused to let that be me. I went through that stage and my relationship with my family didn't go well and school wasn't either. God stepped in even though he was there along and showed me he was the way in my life and he changed me.
 Yes, I still struggle with the gay thing but I thank God for delievering me. I continue to thank and prasise God everyday for what he has done in my life and how he will bring me threw. I feel now that my life and my future is brighter. Without God my life still would be going down the drain!

Happy 3rd Birthday

   A birthday happen's once a year. Kyler Benjamin turned three years old and celebrated all weekend. I consider this little boy my favorite cousin. He is a bad little three year old who is into every sport. I taught him how to throw a football, and how to dribble and shoot a basketball.
  Kyler Benjamin is my uncles only child and he is my grandmothers second grand child. Kyler loves to play basketball so for his birthday party my mother bought him a basketball with all of the National Basketball Associaction(NBA)teams on it and a Cars scooter. My other family memebers bought him cards with money in it. His mother and father bought him a basketball also. If you ask him how old he is he would say five but hold up three fingers. My family got a laugh out of that. Kyler enjoyed his birthday party, you could tell by his facial expressions and the way he acted. Kyler ran around with the other kids at his party and ate pizza and had cake and ice-cream. The week was a great time for the family and for him.
  Happy Birthday to Kyler is what he heard all day, but loved it. He knew it was all about him that day. Birthdays are celebrated in a major way in my family so him turning three was major. Kyler showed his dribbling skills to family at his party and when he was asked who taught him how to dribble he would say me. Delighted to know I taught him that, thats why I consider him my favorite little cousin!

Spring Break 2011

   My spring break was awesome. Being away from school is always a delight. I enjoyed being home from school and spending time with my family. The weather was rainy for the first few days but was nice and sunny the last few days I was at home. My favorite memeory about my spring break was when my family and I went to Myrtle Beach for a day.
    Myrtle Beach was a vacation that me, my mother, my grandmother and my aunt took just to get away from home. This was considered a "day"cation for my family since we went on Saturday and came back on Sunday. Myrtle Beach is about 3 hours away from where I stay. We left at about 9 in the morning and got there about 12 or 1 in the aternoon. We stopped about four times for food, gas and bathroom breaks. Our check-in wasn't until 2 so we road around and went shopping. We checked into the room changed clothes and went to the beach and the pool even though the weather was kind of breezy. After the beach we all went our seprated ways. The beach was fun with my family.
  I always enjoy time with my family. The laughter, the excitment and joy are things I miss with my family. At times I can get tired of family but with it all they still love me and I love them. My family "day"cation was fun and something I think we should do again!

The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC)

   The Atlantic Coast Conference is a challenge between all the team on the Atlantic Coast such as the well known teams like Duke, North Carolina, Virgina and Miami. This a contest that tells whether or not your better than the other teams thats on the same coast. It is a great time for all the team to show what they got, The biggest joy in watching are the number one and two teams get upset by non-ranked teams.
  My favorite team in the Big Ten, ACC or any other division is The University of North Carolina. This season the team has had some ups and downs but came out to be okay. Surviving with just about the whole team being freshman we made it to the ACC unlike last year were we played terrible and went to the NIT which is for the sorry lead. In the ACC you never know what a team has until there down by ten with two mintues to go. On March 3, 2011, we were down by ninteen and never lead in the game and ended up winning the game by two. That was the only time we lead. I feel the team showed true heart and wanted to continue to win the ACC Championship.
 My dream was to play Division one basketball and I still believe I can. I wanted to play in the ACC with some of my friends that went DI, now I watch them on televsion wishing them well. I hope that North Carolina wins the Atlantic Coast Conference(ACC).

A Big Win

On the top of my game
Can't nobody shut me down
Moves are the same
I take a defender round and round

One basket, oh no two
Girls distracting me on the free throw line
I hate the colors gold and blue
Tick Tock goes the time

Fans on there feet
Coach comes out of his coat
Coach subs in a well known player by the name of Big T
Plays ran that he wrote

Up and down the court we go
Down by one, now up by two
That's game as the whistle blow
Now they complain there best player had the flu

What I Spend Money on?

  My defintion of money is something you need to buy clothes, shoes, and food. I take money for grant. I always ask my mother and my grandparents for money. They always ask what do I need it for becasue I don't really need anything I just want it.
   Where does my money go? Whenever I ask for money it usually gets spent at the mall on shoes and clothes. That is why I have a lot of shoes now that I don't need. I will probably buy snacks, now that I am in college I buy little snacks that I can eat on. Every now and again I may take some change and throw it in a well. On Sunday's I give my 10% tithe and the rest is mine to do whatever with. Being the only child I get money just becasue and I like it.
   I should be smart with money. I always want but I don't always need. As long as when somebody gives you money you make a tithe first at the church. People around the world need money to eat, buy their children clothes but I choose to blow it on whatever. Money should not be taken for grant like I take it.

High School Basketball

  High School is exicting in everyway. Games get intense and crowds get rowdy. I am going to describe to you my basketball memoryies from my freshman year to my senior.
 Going into high school from middle school was a great transfer for me. Fall semester came around and basketball try-outs came along. Try-outs was easy, most of the girls on the team were the girls I played with on my traveling team. Me and my friend was the only freshman on the varsity. the other girls that tryed out were put on junior varsity. My sopohmore year we made ot to state and lsot by ten. Junior and senior year thesome of the girls graduared and I had to step up and be a leader. With me being a leader my team came out to be okay, finishing fourth in our region.
  Basketball is my life I've been playing since I was at five or six and have great memories from then until now. High school was exciting and basketball made every bit of it so much fun.
