Authors note

So you guys have seen my mini bucket list, now here is a little bit about me. I am a big outdoors enthusiasts and have been ever since I was little; I love camping, hiking, biking, walking, and running, basically anything that involves being outside! In addition to my love of nature I have an itch for adventure, almost like an adrenaline junky I guess! While I was young I would love walking through the woods, and "exploring" That is what I called adventure back then. Present day, I call skydiving, bungee jumping, and rock climbing adventure! So yeah.. I guess I'm could be classified as an an adrenaline junky..  Along with my adventurous streak, from a young age I would always be very helpful and love helping. Whether I was helping my mom with supper, or holding the door for people I would whole heatedly enjoy doing so. That neighbourly part of me has been carried through all the years, and has lead me to a passion of volunteering. I volunteer at as many places as I can and due to my giant soft spot for animals I volunteer at multiple animals shelters. This is a bit about me, and a few of my passions. To summarize, I love heart pumping adventure, and helping both people and animals. As a final message, life is short, so take every opportunity that comes your way and experience everything you can while you have the chance.

Snippets from my week!

Women's Soccer! Canada Vs USA

Last night I had tickets to the Canada vs. USA women's soccer game! It was an absolute blast! Watching the skills these women have devolved and mastered over years and years of training. It's truly amazing! This was my first time ever attending a professional soccer game, and I must say it exceeded my expectations! 

My morning adventure

  This morning on my daily walk down the back lane towards the bus stop, I notice a strange scene above the huge field behind my house. There were hundreds of birds!! Each singing their own song, but it just so happens that the song of these particular birds sounded like screaming, or a loud screeching. Walking all the way down the road listening to that made me feeling as though I was going to go insane. That noise, mixed in with the eerie look of the grey clouds passed off the feeling of being in a dream, or better suited a nightmare. In your inital view of this image you can see only a few of the winged creatures I witnessed, but when you look deeper into photo, specifically the bottom left corner. You can see the tons of birds. Every little black spot you see is a bird that I saw earlier today. As they flew from the field to the opposite side of the street I stopped to allow my curiosity to wander, as I watched the flock fly overhead. Though I was only granted short moment to stop and stare before I noticed something fall down, and land on the pavement next to me. My instant though was "OH NO!" As I lifted my binder above my head and continued down my back lane, this time picking up my pace to a run. I must say, it was quite the morning adventure.

Visual So What

http://io9.com/concept-art-writing-prompt-the-witchs-son-1538269013

Look at this image, I see the witches son sitting in the light. Look on the his face shows he doesn't want to be there, making a potion. The line shines on him, he is pure, he is good. The magic equipment is shown in the dark. I believe the so what of this photo is that what your parents are, doesn't have to define what you are. His mother is the witch of the town, though he clearly doesn't fit that title.

QuickWrite - Most wonderful Meal

http://www.browneyedbaker.com/2011/08/01/top-10-side-dish-recipes/

The most delicious meal is amazing, while it's cooking all you can do is crave it. The smell reminds me of a refresh summer breeze, or the smell of the ocean after dreaming about it for so long. All you smell is the sweet corn, and that smell will make you physically taste the juice corn, and warm soft potatoes. This is the type of meal that'll have you craving it for days! It's utterly wonderful! The taste of this meal absorbs you entirely.

QuickWrite - Eden

My Eden is beautiful! The grass is green the birds sing their soft songs, there are rolling green hills. Everyone of equal and dressed magnificently, with men in their suits and women in there dresses. Walking and biking is the main source of transportation and public entertainment consists of live shows, being plays, concerts, dance recitals. These are where people dance until their hearts are content, and are constantly smiling. There is no crime, no heartbreak and no backstabbing faces. Everyone is equal. We'll use windmills for power, seeing those giant white fans spinning round and round. We'll have solar panels on every roof using that burning hot sun to hear our dinners. Our language will be kind, you'd never hear of someone telling at you, or someone calling you a terrible name. All shall be equal. 

Favorite Quote

"Holding on to anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die" - Buddah

This is one of my all time favorite quotes! I try my hardest to live by it, because I believe that life is truly to short, and every second you spend angry is a second of happiness you'll never get back. I know of so many people that have held on to anger for years and years and they seem so hateful towards everything. To be honest I spent around two years being like that.. until one day I decided that I didn't want to be mad anymore and it was shortly after making that decision that I found this quote. Its been my favorite ever since and i make sure to remind the people close to me of this constantly, because as I said earlier life is short, way to short to spend your time being mad at something that isn't even worth it. That is why I love this quote.

Skype Reflection

1) What went well in today's Skype session?

I believe that the kids seemed to be engaging a lot with all the questions we asked in the presentations. They also seemed to enjoy the many different topics used to show procedural writing they seem to truly like the time we spend skyping.


2) What is the value of collaborating with this grade 3 class?

Collaborating with this grade three class through Skype is a great way to put our worlds fancy technology to work. It is a very interesting way to see how different classes throughout the areas of Manitoba learn, and is a wonderful way to teach new things to new a younger generation. Its also a way to hand down helpful tips from one city to another.
