If I Never Saw You Again...

Dear Jacob,
    I want you to know that I love you so much! You mean everything to me. I will always remember our good times we have had. Our tickle fights, long walks, our strawberry fight, our long phone calls, cuddling, but most importantly our love for each other. We have been through so much, even though we fight many times we still are there for each other no matter what and that means the world to me. You will always mean everything to me no matter what happens. I would do anything for you to be happy. I will be here for you if you need anybody, you can always count on me. You are my best friend, my boyfriend, my everything! I do not want to lose you at all! I want to grow old with you. I want to make you happy and I do not want to see you sad. If you leave me and I can not help it, I want you to leave happy, not sad, mad, or depressed. I want you happy. I love you Jacob, to the moon and back a thousand times!
                                                                                                       Love Forever and Always,
                                                                                                        Maysel ♥

Who Inspires Me ?

Someone who inspires me is myself. I say I inspire myself is because even though I may have made mistakes and may feel bad, I just think of the good events that happen and think of good events that may happen and cheer myself up. I am my own person that inspires me to think of new ideas about my personality, fashion, and things I may like to do that makes me a unique person. I do get a little inspiration from other people, but not enough to write a paper about it. I get inspiration from "bad" people which teaches me what I should not do.

Neverland ♥

If  I could live anywhere I would live in Neverland! In Neverland, I would live on the Neverland Sea, on a pirate boat and live a pirate life because the pirate life is for me, argh! I would also have a pet unicorn who eats rainbows and poops butterflies! There is a small island, which has a club house, and the club house is made for Peter Pan, the lost boys, and I. There are mermaids that sing beautiful songs and there is a cave that has my treasure! My treasure has my jewels, gold, and candy in it! There is so much activities I could do! I can fly around with Peter Pan and hang out with the lost boys! In Neverland, it is sunny during the day and dark at  night. Neverland is very peaceful since Captian Hook left! I would love to live in Neverland!

2.What would you miss the most if you had no electricity?

What I would miss the most if i had no electricity is my Internet. I would miss my internet the most because I need internet to do pretty much everything I do on my iPod. I go on Pinterest which is a blog that teaches you different thihngs like crafts, ways to work out and to make healthy foods, etc. I listen to Pandora Radio on my iPod and that needs internet, going on Twitter needs internet, and if I get my phone taken away an app called Pinger Textfree will not work. I use Pinger to text my boyfriend and without internet I will not be able to talk to him. Without internet I wouldn't be able to do most things I do on an everyday basis.

If money was no object.

                                                   Reflection
What I learned from doing this activity is to live life to its fullest and not let money interfere with what I think will make me happy. Instead of working a job that pays "good" money, I should do things that make me happy like own a sweet shop. Because you may be being paid well does not mean you are happy because I believe money can not buy happiness or love. And I should love what I would do whether I get paid well or not.

The Kissing Hand

My favorite book is "The Kissing Hand" by Audrey Penn. "The Kissing Hand" is a book about a baby raccoon who needs to go to night school but is too scared and will miss his mom. Then the mom raccoon takes the baby's left hand and spreads the fingers like a fan and then kisses the baby's palm. She said, " Whenever you feel lonely and need a little loving from home, just press your hand to cheek and think 'Mommy loves you. Mommy loves you.' And that very kiss will jump to your face and fill you with toasty warm thoughts." Then the baby raccoon went to night school and opened his hand whenever he felt lonely. Although this is my favorite book I can not say Audrey Penn is my favorite author, but this book is my favorite because I was introduced to it in kindergarten and I think it's very cute and sweet. This book is special to me because in the book she gave me the first day of kindergarten, she wrote a note and it made me feel special.

What Do I Think Life Would Be Like Without Regrets?

      Most people get a job they do not like because they get paid more than I job they would like. Robert Frost in my point of view is an introvert person because he would write poems about life. In his poem “After Apple-Picking”, Frost uses metaphor by trying to find desires in one’s life but instead only regrets.
      There were many metaphors Frost used. One I chose was, “My long two-pointed ladder’s sticking through a tree/Toward heaven still,” (L: 1-2). What I got from this was Frost may be finding many regrets but soon he will find happiness.
      There was a difficult choose of choosing another metaphor. Although it was a tough choice, a metaphor I chose was, “the woodchuck could say whether it’s like his/Long sleep, as I describe its coming on/Or just some human sleep,” (L: 40-43). What I got from this is that a person would not know if it was a day dream or another long day of regret.
     To me, my happiness would be doing what I want to do without worrying about money.  What I would like to own my own sweet shop. If I get to have my own sweet shop I would name it “Maysel Sweeten’s Sweet Shop”.  I have been told that I should open a sweet shop because of my last name. Another reason why I would like to own one is because I love baking cake and cupcakes and sweets like that. I think if I do not accomplish something I would like to do then I feel I would have regrets and so what I feel that Frost is trying to state in his poem is that if someone does not do ideas or things someone like to do you may have regrets.

One thing I would change...

One thing that happened in my life I wish I could change is my grandpa's death in 2008. It effected many people. It effected my mom and my grandma the most. My grandma is living and her husband for almost 38 years has died. My mom was my grandma's and grandpas's first child. My mom was just like my grandpa and was a daddy's girl so it impacted her life dramatically. My mom tells me when she wanted to go somewhere or spend the night over a friend's house my grandpa quized her on Classic Rock songs. I feel that if he was still alive it would effect our relationship with him. I feel that.our relationship would be better because I have the same music taste he ha. I sometimes think how mine and my grandpa's relationship would be like if my grandpa and I would be driving in a car and listening to classic rock songs, singing, and saying the name of the song and the artist. I think if my grandpa was still alive my grandma wouldn't be alone or get cats because my grandpa was a dog person. My mom would be happy so would the rest of the family. But most importantly  we would spend the holidays without problems.

My Hobby

My favorite hobby has to be making crafts. I usually have a free day after I do my homework after school so I make some crafts. Some crafts I make are window paint, string bracelets with some having beads and some without beads, I draw pictures and I am currently working on this carpet dog picture. I love doing crafts because I can be creative and expressive myself. I love making different designs paper and drawing eyes and animals. I make crafts and give them to people for presents. I made Samantha Sarvas a present, which was a picture frame with a picture of a group of last year's freshmen, including me and Samantha, with foam shapes. I wrote "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" on it and she really liked it. When people like my gifts and they really enjoy them it makes me feel good. And that encourages me more to make more crafts.

The Beatles

My favorite kind of music is classic rock. I find it very calming. I like the band The Beatles the most. They make very catchy songs and to me, they make songs about random subjects. They made songs about a yellow submarine, walrus, octopus's garden, paperback writer, bulldog, lonely people, and much more. I like the sound of the Beatles voices altogether. I believe they are really good artists. I have many favorite songs by the Beatles. Some are "Hey Jude", "When I'm Sixty-four", "Help", Eleanor Rigby", "Sargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", "Day in a Life", and many more. The Beatles made better music than what is being made today. The Beatles did not really make every song about girls, sex, or drugs unlike music today, that's another reason why I like them! Like I said before to me they make very catchy songs. I would sing one of their songs and have it stuck in my head all day.

Free Daycare?

Do I believe the government should provide free daycare for working parents? No, although it will be better for parents not having to worry about who is watching their child or worring to pay for day care. It would be less stressful to parents, if they knew their child was safe and taken of while they were at work. On the other hand some parent might not like their child with a stranger. They would not know what the person is like or if they had experience with other kids, or even if they were good with kids. The stranger could be a crimmial for all we know, also the children could not like the stranger. The child could be shy and not talk or listen to them. Then the parents would be interupted with a phone call or message saying how their child is not listening.

The Thing I Value Most ♥

   One thing I value the most is the relationship between Jacob Arndt and I. We hace a wonderful relationship. He is not just my boyfriend, he is my bestfriend, my partner, my jellybean, my "buttface", the love of my life, my everything. We are the best of friends and tell each other everything. I don't want to lose what we have. We have been together for a year on September 23rd. In the past year, we have been through a lot and that made us stonger. I can tell him anything and no matter what he is still by my side. I feel that we could go a lot further if we get stronger. I can not wait to see what life has in store for us! We feel that our relationship is so good that we already planned out our future!Our future is becoming models who makes millions, but we would first live in an apartment and after Early College and then go to college for a couple more years, then start a family and get life long career!

My Trip To Tennessee

This summer I went to Tennessee to see my Uncle Chuck. My Uncle Chuck had 2 daughters, Lauren and Sailor. I went to Tennessee because my Uncle Chuck had cancer in his brain and he wanted to have a family reunion before he passed away. My uncle told my ma maw that he would like my family to be there and my ma maw wanted to keep it a surprised that we would be there but instead told him we were coming and he busted into tears. My ma maw told us what happened and after that we spent the day with her then went to sleep because the next day was the reunion.
Before we left for the reunion we had to put some food into my ma maw's car then went off to the reunion. When we arrived at the reunion, my uncle chuck wasn't there yet and didn't come till a hour later. I was a little nervous going to see my Uncle Chuck because the last time i seen him was 2 summers ago when he didn't have cancer and i didn't know what to except. When i seen my uncle I couldn't go near him because I was crying so hard. He looked so different. His face was swollen so was pretty much the rest of his body he couldn't move his right hand at all he had to have someone else move it for him or he had to use his left hand to move it. He gain so much weight i barely recognized him! He was bald and you could see his scares from hes precious surgeries. It was horrible to see a love one like this and trying not to cry in front of him. but i had to try my hardest and i walked up to him and gave him a hug and said hello then walked away in tears. After a while I was better and went sleeping with me cousin Sailor until we both left.
That night my family and I went to my Uncle's house. My cousin Sailor was bored and so was I, so we went upstairs to her room and played dress up. With every outfit we had on we went down stairs to show everyone and my mother and uncle took pictures. The look on my uncle's face showed us he was happy and it made me smile.
Then a couple hours later we left his house and packed a little of our stuff because the next day we would leave in the evening, but before we were going to go back home we stopped to visit my uncle and i met my papaw for the first time. We ate an amazing steak dinner! And after dinner we took pictures because my mother is a "let me take you picture" freak. So after we took a bunch of pictures we said our goodbyes and left to my ma maw's house to get our stuff, then left for home.

On Sunday, July 22nd, 2012 my Uncle Chuck passed away. There's not a day that passes by where i do not think of him.

Maysel

Maysel is my name. I got the name from my grandmother. My grandmother is a hierarchy over me. Some people say that being extroverted and rambunctious is because of the name Maysel. Maysel is Australian and pronounced like month May and soul  as in a person has a soul. Maysel is like a unicorn, beautiful but rare. I am my name, it is me. I was given this name because when i was born, my mother didn't have a girl name for me. This happened because everyone thought I was going to be a boy, except for my grandmother. My name would have been William Thomas Sweeten Jr.  if I was a boy and once my parents found out i was a girl my father suggested to name me Maysel because when my mother was pregnant my grandmother always jokingly said that my parent should name the child Maysel. So since my parents didn't have a girl name for me, I was named Maysel Madeline Sweeten.

Rule 1: Paying Attention

I believe paying attention is a number one rule because you have to pay attention to the teacher or person speaking,or you wouldn't comprehend to what the speaker or teacher is asking. You could be talking to your friend while the teacher/ speaker is stating instructions and all you hear is "Alright everyone, lets get started," and you ask them what to do and they wouldn't know. So then I am sure that would upset the teacher/ speaker cause one, you were talking when they were giving the assignment, and two they would have to repeat themselves. So again, I believe paying attention is a number one rule.
