Comments

I had the same experience as you when I was younger. I would pretend to be a superhero and go through obstacles around the playground, but when I got to the monkey bars I wasn't thinking and just climb up the ladder and started to go on the monkey bars. Then I realize I wan't that strong and before I knew it I was on the ground crying and I had to go to the E.R.

My favorite toy was also my little pet shops. I remember I would collect as much as possible.

I loved Junie B. Jones books as well. I remember when my class have library time I would always try to fast walk ahead of all my friends to make sure that I get the Junie B. Jones books that I wanted or else I would have to stick with rereading the ones I have already read.

Child's Play

21. When I was a child I was sweet, kind, and loud. As I've gotten older things definitely changed I wasn't able to see my grandparents as much as I want, but I did see my parents more in which to me was weird. Then my family move not to a different place or city, but to a different state. I didn't like where I was I didn't like the fact that we have to move to Missouri out of the 50 states. I couldn't adjust to this new lifestyle, it was different. Then four months later my grandpa pass away and I wasn't there for him. I didn't say my final goodbye and I hated that. The nest several years I was quiet. I wasn't quiet on purpose, it just came to me natural. I felt what was the point in talking when there was nothing to be talked about. The quiet I am the better because no one would ask me any questions related to me. 

25. When I was growing up my first language was Vietnamese. My grandparent raise me most of the time and they would speak in Vietnamese so I grew up speaking the language. I started learning English when I actually started school. I started speaking more English, but there is this rule in my family in which you're not allowed to speak any other languages beside Vietnamese in the house. Also we don't eat out at all when I was a child. I remember eating Vietnamese cuisine and that's all I ate. Also I really loved weddings growing up. The Vietnamese tradition when it comes to engagements is that the guy and his whole entire family has to go to the girl's house to ask her whole entire family for marriage and they would drink tea and have lunch together after the ceremony. For weddings it's really simple though we get married by the church and afterwards there is no receptions or anything. The after party would start around 8 and through the night. We also have Vietnamese New Years' and it's often in February. During Vietnamese New Years' we often would go toVietnam and visit relatives, but if we were not able to do that then we would go to our family and friends' house and greet them happy new years and hand out red envelopes. 

27. I have only "run-away-from-home" once. I remember my friend was over playing tetherball with my sisters and I at our house, but there was this new inventions that was really popular during that time in which was called wheeles, it was the type of shoes that has wheels at the bottom. My friend had forgotten her wheeles at home and she wanted to go and get it though she was afraid of going alone. She said her house was really close from here and that I should come with her. I agreed and we both jumped over the fence on the side of my house and walked to her house to get her wheeles. 

33. When I was a child I had everything planned out. I was going to graduate from this elementary school then go to this middle school and high school. I even knew what college I wanted to go at the age of 7 and knew what I wanted to be, which was a top surgeon. After having a career I would then be able to date and get married. I wanted a huge family when I was little at least 5 kids and one dog. I also knew what type of house I wanted and what kind of theme I had for the house. I also planned that my family and I would travel to somewhere every year.

Keeping it real (like Dan)


#2. Three tips I would give parents about teenagers is 1) every teenage kid is different, so don't put them into the stereotype that all parents believe their kids are in which bad, rude, and disrespectful. 2) Parents should be close to their children, but not close as in best-friend there should be a line because you're a parent and you should be able to enforce them if needed. If you have the best-friend type of relationship it's easy to be a friend, but rather hard to be a parent. 3) Be there for them, you might think "well their grown up now you shouldn't have to worry" well you're wrong. Teenage years is the most crucial stage, it's where they are trying to find who they are and some can handle that, but some can't seem to find who they are or their way in life after high school. So focus on them as much as possible though you don't have to push them to do anything just watch them from behind is fine.

#7. I don't think you can know you love someone in three days. Three days? Impossible. Maybe the feelings the two individual have towards one another is stronger than they have for anybody else, but that doesn't mean it's love. Nowadays everyone think they are in love so fast that the meaning of love changes. People say 'I love you' in an instant, they move in with each other, and some have children before getting married. I'm fine with the couples that are successful in there relationship, but the average who have fallen in love too fast end up falling apart from one another. Some even start hating each other. That's what I don't get the most, you once dated someone and you truly "love" them but when you both separate ways you turn into enemies. I think love takes time, I feel love shouldn't be base on feelings only like in "Dan in Real Life" when I was watching it he only put is feelings towards everything and not is mind because feelings come and go for everyone.

#12. I don't like illicit love, it's not appealing to me. While watching Dan in Real Life I couldn't watch it after he met Marie. I don't like the plot story at all. I don't think it's right to have feelings for someone you shouldn't have for. If it's not right then it's not right. They don't think of the outcome all they were thinking was their feelings toward each other. I especially don't like it because Marie was Dan's brother's girlfriend and having these feelings behind the family while at a family vacation just grosses me out.

#22. I don't think life is full of disappointment to me I think life is a blessing. Yes, there are days where it doesn't go as you plan it to go, but we have to think of the positive side and not focus on the negative. I had a sub this one day for Anatomy & Physiology he said, "these are the best years of your life, be happy every single day." I think everyone should happy everyday just turn something bad into something good. To me how I deal with disappointment is just push it aside and move onto something that will make me happy.

"Reely" good quotes

White Chicks 
21 Jump Street 


Pitch Perfect 

Mean girls 

"Real" life


My favorite movie is called White Chicks. It's about two undercover cop pretending to be the rich and famous twins. They go on this funny so-like adventure to try to catch the bad guys while pretending to be a girl. I like this movie because it brings humor, laughs, and it's a movie I watch when I was little so it brings back memories. For me I'm not using into horror because there's really never a good one. I can watch it but usually it's only if I'm bored then I will watch. I watch movies mostly the time when I'm free and don't have any homework and I usually watch at Springfield 11 or at home on Netflix. If I was watching a movie in the movie theater I need to sit in the back and in the middle. I would also be eating nachos, popcorn, soda, and candies. If I was at home I would just sit on my couch with my blanket wrap around me and that's it. The survey says I'm 83% extraverted, 58% agreeable, 92% consientious, 42% emotional stable, 83% open to new experiences.
