reaction to personal grafs and essays
When I think of how I used to write and what I used to write about its clear that I had a lot to learn. In the begging of this class I got a lot of good advice and also had to try to slow down and put myself into the work. I think I have learned how to write different kind of essays and grafs I didn't know about. I went through and read some of my essays and they are kind of dry to me now that I think about what I could have done. It was a learning process I needed and Im glad I had it. Made me a better writer.

Division essay
Taking hikes and also going biking in the mountains can be both dangerous and also life changing in a sense. Due to how many people get lost and not knowing what to have on them encase they do get lost. There are three things I like to have on me at all times that I would use if I got lost. I am glad I started to carry those items at a young age due to an event that happened to me and my friend.
The most fundamental thing that I like to have on me at all times is my trusty knife. I collect knifes so I always have my black gerber knife on me.. They are good for cutting things like rope, wood (depending on the type of knife), and also good for protection. It can help kill food, also help if heated to burn a wound closed. I have had to use my knife for a few of these like when me and my friend went god running (Like Parkour just down a hill dodging trees and things) down the mountain in Woodland Park Colorado. He jumped off a small cliff with me and his pant leg got caught and he hit the wall and got knocked out. I had to cut the pant leg off and cut my shirt to tie it around where it was bleeding.
I may not smoke but I like to have a lighter on me also. My favorite lighter I usually have on me is my sniper emblem zippo lighter. Not matches because encase they get wet they are useless. The lighter will help me to create a signal fire on top of fire to keep me warm. In the woods you need fire to cook the animals you get. It will help you stay warm and also if you build a fire surrounding you it helps to keep certain animals at bay. I had to use my knife also to cut limbs to make a fire site. I laid my friend down so he could rest due to the fact I didn't know how bad he got hurt. I started a little fires to keep us a little warmer because we were not moving around to keep warm.
When he woke up I asked "Are you okay enough to move?" I got him up and asked "which way back because i'm horrible with directions and didn't know where we were." "Head north that's were my parents have the camp site." This is where I remembered i had a utility compass to help me. I pulled it out and he laughed and said "Do you really don't know what way is North?" I said "No that's why I have a compass." So I put one of his arms around my head and followed the compass all the way to his parents camp.
If it wasn't for the items I had on me I would of had no clue what to do. That's why I like to have them on me so if anything like that ever happens again I will be prepared. I also am trying to learn to get better at directions. On top of staying away from camping and going into the woods.

Timed process essay new edit
When I walk around the park and see people walking their dogs or riding a horse. The thought of getting my own pet turns up . I love animals and I would love to own my own. I'm very picky though. These are the steps I have taken to pick a animal out before.
First I have to think about the types of animals I would like to own. I have to throw away the wants due to the fact that its not realistic. Like a wolf can't own them. Then I get on track and think dog or cat. I like dogs because they are loyal and also can be protectors. Easy to train if done right. Also fun to be outside with. Cats are cute and like to cuddle. They are easy to take care of. They sleep most of the time. Then I factor in my time and money of each type and being able to properly take care of them. Then its off to look at pets.
When I walk into the store I walk straight to the dogs. I made up my mind but now I have to look at they types of dogs and also get information on size and ways to take car of them. I want a dog that is easy to train, Beautiful, don't have to worry about it attacking people, and also price of the dog. I get all of that information leading to my choice, a siberian husky. finally last part is supplies for the dog.
After I get the dog and name it. I go down the isles with Zoey and let her sniff and look at toys to see what she would like. Grab the ones she likes and add it to the cart. Then Its off to the hardest item the food. She tries a lot of different food but she likes a main food of kibble and bits. Its off to take the dog home.
After I go through all of that to get and animal it also makes me think wow. They also went through all of that to get their pets. The naming, spoiling, playing, and also quality time you get from a pet is what makes the process worth while. Zoey and I will be happy for a long time.

effect essay editied
When I was in high school I got tired of being bullied and also tired of being treated like crap so I had a different attitude. This attitude lead me to telling my teacher "Fuck You". This had a lot of effects on me. Even if I explained this and what my means were for doing so I had no reason to do so.
When my friend and I were wrestling in the wrestling room he knocked the wind out of me. That's when my teacher Mrs. Green came in and started to poked me with her finger and started to say "That's what you get for messing around. That's what you get." The first bit of air I got back I bellowed out "Fuck You." The teacher stopped in disbelief. The first thing that happened to me was when she decided what to do with me by sending me to the principle's office.
When I got to the principles office he sat me down and asked what happened. I explained the whole story and didn't leave a thing out. When I was done explaining why I was sent to see him. He sat there for a minute and then said "well you know you were in the wrong and I have to suspend you for 2 weeks for using that language with your teacher." So he sent me to walk home.
When I got home I explained why I was home early to my mom. She lost her temper and said "your grounded till you go back to school go to your room." She said "the only thing you are able to do is go to your martial arts class, but after I tell your sensi what you did and he can decide what to do to you."
It was bad enough getting suspended and grounded. Now I have to wait for my sensi to pass judgement. He looked at me and wanted the truth and I told him everything that happened. He said "you will be doing bear crawls and also not participating in grappling which you enjoy." So the next couple of weeks I worked out and was put through hell to contemplate my actions. Until I go back to school I had to deal with all of these effects of what I did wrong.
When I think about my actions and what happened because of them. I realized that everything I do in life has repercussions either good or bad. It seams that my choice lead to bad repercussions. Made me realize also that I should not talk to anyone like that no matter how mad I get. No one deserves to be treated like that no matter what.

process
I turn on my computer and think about all of the possibilities of what to make into a video. There is my movie program movie maker and also all of the pictures I can use. There is the long play list of songs to add to the video. My friend gave me a song and some pictures she wanted me to make a video of. This is how I make a video.
I wake up and get me some soda. Turn on my laptop and make sure I have my special keyboard and mouse. Turn on windows movie maker and start to brain storm how to make a tribute to military families. I decided to go to Google images and also photobucket. I played through a lot of the songs that I had but one caught my ear. Leona Lewis What Ever it Takes. After I get the song and transfer it into the program I save all of the pictures I want to use and transfer them into the program also. I take a break and contemplate how im going to put them into order.
I start to listen to the song more carefully and make sure the pictures go with the words of the song. I organize some of the pics that I found that imply what the video is going to be about in the beginning. Then the rest of the pictures have to go with the words and try to make the person feel how thankful I am for all of the military personnel and the family that support them for my way of life today. I like to put pictures in the video that will have a emotional connection with the people who would view the video. I got to after a lot more soda edit and say where I got the music and pictures.
I start to go through the video ten or more times to make sure it is to my liking and that people will like it. I watch this video and the only bad part of it is my dad was in the military as a army ranger so I start to tear up a little towards the end. I put who the video is made by, what song im using, and where the pictures are from. I save the video and make sure it will play. I put it onto youtube and try to get views and comments on what people think of it.
I like to make videos and tributes that have meaning. If I have soda, a computer with movie maker, an idea, and some tunes I can make a kick ass video. This is the product of the video tribute to military families. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8D24_jsBx0&list=UUMLi7XyLjvXyk_w_fLQyVig&index=8&feature=plpp_video

timed Effect essay
When I think back to when I started to learn to drive I remember that I don't have a lot of behind the wheel experience. Last year during winter was the first time I had ever driving in snow and ice. I hit black ice and wrapped my car around a pole in February of this year. It caused me to have lots of medical bills, go through physical therapy and also to take a test to be able to drive again.
When I woke up in the hospital I didn't know why I was there. I was told I git black ice and crashed my car. I will still in disbelief but knew I did do something to end up in the hospital. I had a traumatic brain injury. When I got out of the hospital I started to receive bills. For ambulances, life flight, tests, hospital stay, and all sorts of things. It added up quick to well over 100,000. Enough to make me cringe.
When I was in the hospital I was going through physical therapy to help my body to recover from being hurt. They did a lot of exersize and coordination type of tests. I said "it was only a crash I can still do the things I used to." Wow was I wrong. I had trouble walking straight and keeping my balance. I had to have help taking a shower. I couldn't get any wear on my own. Also had to graduate from therapy and have a last head check before I could get approved to go back to work.
The one effect of the crash that irritated me was anyone who has a head injury in a crash even if they don't remember it like me. They have to take the written and driven portion of the test again to be able to drive. I had to learn how to parallel park. I read to much into the questions. I failed it two times and passed it my third. Then I had to get a new car so I could get to and from work. The driveing test had a lot more to it then when I took it in Colorado.
All of the things that happen from en-experience in life are either drastic or mild compared to what it is you don't have experience with. Its on of those life lesson that they say you learn to mistakes. It can be practical expertise like driving or it can be math. They both take practice.

example essay editied
I never really had a family atmosphere growing up. I always wanted to find my dad and his side of the family and see if I could have a future with people that I love and that will love me. When I moved to Maine to be with my family I got more then I expected and it made me feel great. They helped in more ways then one. They helped me get a car, my own apartment, a job and also a chance to go to college. The major thing the added to my life was great self esteem and a sense of being loved which I had never had in my life. They made me part of the family.
When I first came up to Maine I was a little worried of what to expect considering I went through hell growing up. When I got there I was surprised that most of my family was at the airport to great me and take me home. The one thing that stuck was when my grandma said that she was saying "The one thing I want before I die is to see Brandon ." My grandpa said "give that up we don't even know where he is." "Then two weeks later I got my wish and I get to give my grandson a hug again after over 10 years." That made me feel like the happiest person in the world at that moment.
When I moved in with my dad witch was a dream come true. He started by helping me find a job and saying that I could go to college where he works for free because he gets a waver for his kids to go to school. He looked at me and said "You got the smarts to do anything you set your mind to and I want you to be able to go to school and get a good job. I don't want you to work like a dog the rest of your life trying to make a living off two or more jobs." I have never been told I can do anything I set my mind to. Also never had been giving to opportunity to do so. My dad gave me both of those in one swoop.
I never had a relationship with my real mom growing up but My step mom has been more my mother then my real mom ever acted. She tells me what I need to hear not what I want. She told me if I want to be part of the family spend time with them get to know them. She said if its what you really want try or else we wont try. She has helped me learn to cook and also what to do on my own with budgeting money. Growing up and learning to be on my own. My step mom has always considered me her own kid and that is something that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
When I think back to what I have been through and what I have always wanted. It make me appreciate that it made me a stronger person and that miraculous things do happen. My self esteem would have never gotten to where it is now and also I wouldn't have come out of my shell as much as I have if my family didn't find me. Its like One Republic Sang its going to be a good good life. I stay true to that.

reaction to timed essay
To be honest i really liked the topic and didn't have to many problems. The main problem i had was putting myself into the topic, but when i figured it out it was smooth sailing from there. The time is where it was hard to edit spelling and get a good essay from the time without many mistakes. It was interesting to put myself with animals and finding a way to do so. When you replied it made me think i was becoming a better writing with organization and also information. I still think i have a long way to go to be the best i can be.

timmed essay contrast edited
When I look at how I like to cuddle ,and be there for my friends it reminds me of a dog and its mans best friend nature. When I see one of my family members getting hurt, or a friend getting hurt that's when I turn to a lion and my protective side kicks in. There are times when I like being up at night and not during the day like a owl. Its pretty cool when I think about the wolf and how it's like a family and you don't want to mess with a wolfs family like you don't want to mess with mine.
When I have a girl friend and I'm spending time with her, Like one of my x-girlfriends Jenna, we used to sit under trees, or on the couch and just cuddle. Also any time my friend needs cheering up and someone to be there for them I can sense it like when a dog senses you are upset. When one of my friends, Megan got hurt when her boyfriend broke up with her. I gave her a hug and talked to her for over five hours because I knew there was something wrong no matter how many times she said I'm fine. It's kind of weird when she said I remind her of her dog but it is also a good thing because she said it was her dog that always cheered her up and knew something was wrong.
I remember when I was young the kids in my school would always pick on my brother, and call him names, and try to fight him. It was to the point where I would get mad and hit them if they started in on my brother. Then when my sister started school that's when it really kicked in my protective big brother jeans. My sister said I'm like a lion with her cubs not wanting them to get hurt or have anyone mess with them. Of course she said that after some guy named Jason pushed her to the ground and I pounced on him with a couple of right hooks because I didn't have paws to claw him.
I don't know what it is about the day it seems so lame and boring because its like a constant SSDD (Same Shit Different Day). Get up, get dressed, eat, go to work, and come home. Its nothing like the night when there seems to be more action in it. More parties, clubs, movies, and more people have time to hang out. Its like how an owl is more active during the night because it can hunt and see at night. In my opp ion I like the night better then I like the day.
Its kind of funny I guess when you can make fun of me and give me a hard time and I don't get mad usually. It's when you start to bring my family into the insults that I get mad. You can toy and talk down to me all you want don't bring my family into the conversation. I'm like a wolf. Yes I will defend my self if need be. The truth of the matter is if you bring my family into it or attack them that's when my teeth show and I attack.
When you think about personality and how people act I start to laugh because it can be compared to most animals. Weather it be anger like a baboon. Sneaky like a snake. Protective like a lion its funny when you think about how close we are to animals.

Out of all of the people in my life there are two women that helped me shape my life today. That is my step mother and mother. They both were married to my dad and both have more then one kid. My mother was Mary Jane and my step mom Michele. Both women have helped me shape my life but beside them both being married to my dad and having kids. They are as different as night and day. Not only with looks but with personalities, habits, likes, dislikes, and anything you could possibly think of.
My step mom Michele is very family oriented. She has a big issue on being a family. If you dont want to be part of it she wont try either. When i fist came up to maine and had my walls up in defence. She flat out said that she has done nothing wrong and if i want to be part of the family i need to try. She said what i needed to hear not what i wanted to hear. My mom Mary Jane only wants to be with you if it will benefit her. The only time she says family is when someone is hurt and will get her some attention. When I got into my car crash this year she called me when i was in the hospital but when i got out she didnt call or talk to me.Michele will help family and spend time with them and get to know them. Mary Jane on the other hand wants to know whats in your bank and what she can get. At lease i know why i want family.
When it comes on work ethic My mom Michele is always working weather or not it is raising a kid or working at her job. When she is not at work and the kids she is reading or cleaning the house. Mary Jane is ass backwards she wants to do as less as she can and get paid for it. She pretty much got all of my money from my job and also always needed to borrow money and not pay it back. That's why i work my hardest and i have to be working at all times i hate sitting still.
Michele is one of those parent that wants their kids to do good in school and go to college so thay can better their selves. She doesnt want her kids to have to be struggling for money or looking for multiple jobs for the rest of their lifes. Michele has told me i cn do what ever i set my mind to and said i have a chance to go to a college for free. Its a chance you need to take. Im trying to get into that college as we speak. Mary Jane is on the flip side of the coin. She really doesnt care about grades or what you do in you life. She always brags about what she has done in her life all of the things she has accomplished. If we do something good or decent she says "cool i did that too.". When it comes down to the want of bettering my education and getting a better job i dont think i get that from my real mom.
When i used to visit Maine every summer she would always help me with all that i did and teach me how to do it also. My step mom Michele i consider my mom more then i do my real mom. She has been there for me and has tried to help me get better personality and learn how good it is to have a family. Mary Jane taught me how i dont want to end up being like lazy, unkind, and not wanting a family. When it comes to who i am today i am glad to have been able to learn from both of these women.

There are lots of sites with recommendations on what to do but im still looking for the sites that will give me times and prices and what the tours involve. Found out that i can drink in Ireland.

classification essay rewritten
when i first walked into the dojo to see if i wanted to take the class. I noticed how people acted and i already could tell who to stay away from. There were the people who liked to practice on one side in a group. There were people who were talking and slacking in another. There were also people who thought they were to good to work with someone. The teacher seemed to know what groups to keep an eye on. The Model student the one that never lets it go to his head, is humble, and wants to learn. Then there is the Doesnt care student. He is the one that comes to class for something to do and mess around and doesnt have passion for it. The last and the one i hate the most is the Ill Beat Anyone I Fight type. The one that thinks because he know martial arts he will never lose there is no one that can beat him.
The one type of student i liked and didnt run into them much was the Model student. My friend Cam was a black belt in multiple martial arts. When he come and started to take my Judo class he wasnt all high and mighty and the first thing i remember him saying is "i want to start from the bottom and work my way up." also at a time in my life when i was tired of being bullied he would tell me that i need to practice my art form to take my mind off it, and it is a good way to relieve stress. He was always in class and never talked or disrupted class. He helped anyone he could. He asked questions no matter if they made him seem that he was slow. He put in more effort then most of the kids in the class. He was my ideal role model and i wanted to be able to be like him when it came to passion and being a martial artist.
The type i seemed to run into a lot was the kids that were forced to take the class by parents that thought it would help them learn respect, self control, and become more positive. this was the I Don't Care student. They type that was being called out in class to be silent. Being made to do push ups. The perfect example was someone from my high school joey. One day he showed up late to class and didnt bow in or ask the sensi if he could come onto the mat. He walked right in with a messed up uniform and started to talk to one of his other friends. This is where my teacher said leave the class and dont come back. Im tired of having someone disrupt the others when they are trying to better themselves and also dealing with someone who doesn't even want to be here. The kid had the gual to say "finally was wondering when i could be done i hate doing things im forced to." it dumb founded me.
If you think the last one was the worse in my opinion i would take ten of those guys over one of these guys. The I Beat Anyone I Fight type. I used to watch my friend when he was taking Karate to see if i wanted to take it also. The one kid i will never forget was James. He never failed to amaze me. One day i was watching class when a mew person was being introduced to the class. The person being introduced i knew because he also had three other black belts. The teacher asked who would like to have a sparring match with the new student. James said "I will easy win. hahahhahahaha!" thats when the new guy got serious. It was over in a flash. "Start" the teacher said and two kicks to the face as fast as i could see came from the new guy and hit James in the chin and James was out. What amazed me was not his attitude was the fact that he came back the next day and said "I let him win and i never lose when im trying."
When im in class im there to learn so i get irritated when someone else interrupts or disrupts class. I tend to practice a lot more then everyone else and i like to learn all i can about the art form i am taking. I dont talk in class and i like to help anyone i can. I also ask a lot of questions no matter what it is.

outro classification
Now i can tell a lot of martial artist are taking offence to what i put in to categories Listen to me when i say if you can find a way to prove me wrong ill shut up. I have been in martial arts for so long, and i have met so many people that they all have a category they fall into. A big chunk i ran into was the ones who think if they paint themselves green they are just like the hulk. The model student is doing it right in my opinion so through my years i have ran into mostly the people who have a swollen head. To me and my years i havent found one person that does not fall into these categories.

reaction to comment
Well i think i will do the martial arts one due to the fact that i will be able to put myself into it more. I took martial arts for over for years a met someone that fell in all of those groups. Also i think it will make it better and more entertaining being able to tell some stories. My only problem is going to be finding a good hook.

Intro 1
there are three type of students to look out for when taking martial arts. The Model student the one that never lets it go to his head, is humble, and wants to learn. Then there is the Doesnt care student. He is the one that comes to class for something to do and mess around and doesnt have passion for it. The last and the one i hate the most is the Ill Beat Anyone I Go Skill type. The one that thinks because he know martial arts he will never lose there is no one that can beat him.
Intro 2

reaction to causes
wow she hit the nail on the head with the three different guys there are. i love how she used some imagery and also compared them to animals. It was very interesting and entertaining to read. Made me remember the research i did on relationships in high school. I never though of being able to seperate a lot of these topics into three different groups let alone be able to tell a story on each one. I could tell by reading the samples i had my work cut out for me. It made me sit down and think about what to write.
It took me a little time and many try's to get at least one piece i could work with. I think my peice is good but reading all of these other papers makes mine feel a little less grand and not worth reading. Also it gave me a goal to strive for in the future to be able to write in that sense. It was very awesome to read other peoples way of writing.

When i was writing about real life research and listening to music of and anime amv it distracted me. my mind wondered to the new episode of Naruto that was going to come out or watching some more Bleach. Also the music was making me want to write another poem and try to understand how stupid you have to be to fall for the same smuck over and over again before you learn. That's where i tried to stop my mind from going into a rant on how idiotic guys and also the stupid girls are to either treat people the way they do or like being treated they way they are. how many times do i have to wast my breath on ignorant people that just want to bitch. If you hate being treated like that screw him or her find someone else. and my rant continued well after i finished the graff. Trying not to type what i was thinking ontop of writing what i wanted to put was hard. I had to re write my paper a few time and edit the swearing and idiotcracy of my rant to make and appropriate paper.

3 category
The gamer is ma by the one type of guys that make girls want to break every piece of electronic items that their boy owns like the xbox and so on. There are three type of gamer's and its sad to say im in one of those categories. The love to game but girls are better. The gaming is better then going out. The last and worse group in the gaming is better then anything. sad to say i belong in group one.
The type of guy that girls can tolerate because they would rather be with a girl then to play games is group one. The guys if they have nothing planned or dont have a girl friend will sit there and play their games all day. On the other hand if they had someone or plans they would do those instead of playing games. In group one like my self i play the games to pass time now that im in school and work on top of having a girl friend i dont have time for games. Do i still want to play a game and cure my craving for them? Thats easy to answer yes.
This is where i stop understanding guys and gamers who are like this. When you like games more then spending time with friends or getting out of the house it worries me. When you would rather get a 5.0 kill death ratio in modern warfair 3 then go to the movies or hang out with friends. I get a little worried. This is the category that girls can tolerate but they would rather not have this group.
Finally the gamer that makes me no want to play video games in the group that thinks gaming is better hen anything at all. My friend is one of those. I got him a girl friend and he said sweet and went right back to gaming instead of saying can i meet her. I was worried. his girl i brought over was on my scale a 9 our of ten and thats hot. He didnt even look twice at the women that just walked into the room. He said and i quote "Dude, i cannot believe i just got that kill he is so mad. oo hey who is this?" my jaw hit the floor he didnt even see her enter the room and thats all he can say is who is this? This is the type of gamer i would never want my sister or family members or enemies to have.
So when and i hope not if i fall into another category then the one im in. Please for my sake and my girl friends sake break my xbox. These are the three type of gamers i see all of the time. Im in the first group and hope to never fall into the other groups.

There are lots of reasons i joined martial arts to begin with. It wasn't a whim like when i tried out for football. I was always watching movies with people like Bruce Lee, Jacky Chan, And Jet Lee. I wanted to meet them and learn some of their qualities. When i saw how they all had great self esteem and confidence i wanted to gained some of that myself. I thought martial arts would teach me a lot about myself and also teach me how to hold my head high. This was my first reason for getting into martial arts. Another reason was I wanted to learn how to defend the people i love with and without violence. Another reason was I have a lot of fears also like when i see spiders. I know this is funny but i want to overcome those fears and be courageous. I thought martial arts would help lead me to build the adaptation or courage so i could have some. I was on a mission to achieve it. So i loved it when were able to grapple or spar in my judo and jue-jitsu class. I was really good at grappling to the point where they always put me against my sensi.
What i wanted to be the first thing i accomplish was holding my head high and having good self esteem. When i fist started the class my teacher or sensi made a few rules very clear. There is no such thing as i cant do this. He didn't want us to use the word cant. We also were not aloud top beat our self's up with negativity. We had every right to hold out heads high and be all we can be. We are all unique. He not only preached this and drilled it into my head, but every time i would go against the rules i had to do bear crawls and workouts. this action and also being told im the only one that can judge myself helped me gaine what i wanted and that is self confidence.
When i look and see all of the fighting not only in movies but my friends and family getting into fights and i cant do anything about it. It makes me mad and frustrated to the point where i wanted to learn how to defend myself and the ones i love with and without violence. My sensi taught us both the non combative versions of throws and the combative style throw. He would go over different scenarios and how to not only avoid them but if it happened, how to defend it. My favorite exersize was whats called round robin. It was where i would stand in the middle surrounded my people with guns, knifes, and other weapons with my eyes closed. Then he would send one person at me and say go i would only have a second to react to find the enemy and disarm them. This not only made me feel like i could defend the ones i love, it gave me the skills i needed to defend them.
After i accomplish two of my goals all that was left was to over come some of my fears if not all of them. When i asked my sensi to help me with over coming my fears he helped me in a weird way. i said i was afraid of the dark and he showed me a path i could take home that was safe after class but dark. After walking that path home after class every night i got accustomed to the dark and was no longer afraid of it. i always wanted to learn how to do a back hand spring but was to scared to fall on my head. he showend me what to do and then he said do it. I learned how to flip in one day. the only fear i was not able to shake was spiders i hate them with every fiber of my being. In a sence i accomplished my goals.
When i think back to how i would act before i did martial arts and the qualities i have always wanted it feels like a dream. I would always either get a ride home or sprint because i was scared of the dark now i just stroll home. I go to school with my head held high and dont care what people think about. i also am able to defend myself and others. It all adds into what i went through martial arts. It may of taken me over four years of throws grappling and dedication to class. In the long run when i see someone start to swing at my friends i can defend them. i can walk in the dark. i also can keep my head high. Im glad i took martial arts.

research plan
I plan on searching any and all sites. That includes travel sites and prices for flights and so on. I think i will be running into a lot of problems of getting sites that dont have any information on what i need because a word some wear on the site says Ireland or Irish. I plan on calling my friend to get some information along with the internet and ma by a couple of books from the library. i think i will have to be careful of the information i get and verify it through other websites to make sure its true. i might find one of the sites that can answer most if not all of my questions which means i would have to edit hem. I want to visit when i can graduate college so i need to find out how much i need to save. There is a lot of work involved not only web sites but talking to people who have visited and what would they recommend. My plan involves a lot of internet searching.

What i Know
How do i travel to Ireland?
I know I can get there on a plane and fly there what i really want to know is if i can take a ship over there and enjoy all im missing in the sky. If its not a cruiz ship it might be a long long trip to the point where i would just fly.
Where do i stay in Ireland?
I know there is little cottages called hostels i think. I think i might find some american hotels or places run from the locals that i can stay at. Im thinking there are places that get you a group of people that go to pubs and site seeing eith you its not only a way to meet people but a way to have fun.
What kind of tours do i go on?
I know there is historical tours. My friend said there were group tours where you go pub hopping. Also i think there would be tours where you get to get your hands dirty and help people with their jobs over in Ireland.
What is there to do as a tourist?
Besides buying Items to take home and going to the pub. I would like to know if there were items or a day you can spend learning a trade over in Ireland and be able to help make beer or work on a farm.
Do I take a plane or ship?
I know i can take a plane over there. I dont know if i could take a ship over there if it wasn't a cruiz ship. there might be a cruiz ship that stays in port long enough to explore.
Do i stay in a hotel?
I know they have a hotel over there. I think there is hostels little houses with other people that go in groups to site see and pubs and have fun.
Is there information tours?
There is informational tours about some of the history of Ireland. There is a site seeing tour with information on natural wonders.
Is there site seeing tours?
Yes there is a few of them depends on what area you want to go see.
Can i go to pubs or visit historical sites?
I know im old enough over there to go to a pub. Thats what i have herd. there might be a castle or something i can visit.,
Is there event that would be cool to see?
Im hoping there is sporting events over there i can go see. might be someone trying to out drink someone else. is there any special places that are not often visited i could find.
outro
Wow! Amazing! it finally happened to me and it was due to the hard work an effort i put into my goals. At first it was tough because i was wondering how long it would take to adapt to myself all of the qualities i wanted. Then through determination and effort i managed to make them mine. Weither i was trying to break my fear of spiders and fighting or trying to have some confidence in myself. I can say without a doubt that everything i have tried to do to grasp these adaptations martial arts helped me. It put me out of my comfort zone and made me realize i can do what ever i put my mind to. Those movies i found out were not just acting the aspects i admired and respected and wanted for myself were not out of reach. All i had to do was put my best foot forward and make it happen.

I have a lot of fears also like when i see spiders. I know this is funny but i want to overcome those fears and be courageous. I thought martial arts would help lead me to build the adaptation or courage so i could have some. I was on a mission to achieve it. I look at my goal when im in class and it drives me to work harder and push myself to get to the next level.
Intro 2
Why are martial artist so courageous? How are they able to defend the ones they love? How do they hold their head so high with confidence? Its amazing how many questions i can have for one topic. I wanted to be able to adapt these aspects of what i saw in movies and fights and be able to live them myself. I wanted to be able to use it for defense and nothing else so i could protect the ones that i love. I wanted to be able to walk with my head held high and have great self esteem. There is something i have always wanted also to be courageous and over come my fears. There are many reasons i want to develop these qualities and make them my own. The only way i saw myself seceding in doing this was to start martial arts.
There are lots of reasons i joined martial arts to begin with. It wasn't a whim like when i tried out for football. I was always watching movies with people like Bruce Lee, Jacky Chan, And Jet Lee. I wanted to meet them and learn some of their qualities. I wanted to learn how to defend the people i love with and without violence.

Reaction to Cause
There are many things to write about and many ways to write about one thing. I like that aspect of writing. Its not like math where there is some problems that there is one way to do it. It was really surprising how people could find the one that they are meant to be with and mess it up by not being honest, being selfish, and also scared. I have writing a lot of poetry on the subject and to see how wall that the graf was put together makes me learn how to format and write better. There are a lot of different type of writings like putting yourself in the writing and seeing the irony of following someone around and never sticking with something. Everyone is special so it is interesting to read about someone doing everything as someone else. Skating, Dance, and gymnastics and never finding something you want to do yourself is frustrating to read. All of the cause essays i read gave me and idea of what to expect with writing. Different intros and formats. Explaining how things happen and involve the reader with imagery and and make them feel like they were there in person. There were a lot of grafs that i wanted to talk to the person and give them advice and what not to do. They definatly succeeded in pulling me into the piece they were writing. That gave me a gole on how i wish to be able to write in the future.
Intro's
Intro 1
I was watching was younger i always like fighting movies and also liked to watch fights. My favorite martial artist though he is dead now is Bruce Lee. I have always wanted to learn to defend myself. I cant say i didn't at the time want to use the skills to hurt my enemies. Watching Bruce Lee and all the other martial artist i noticed when they learn there perspective art forms that they hold their head higher. That they have more confidence. I also noticed they always stopped the bad guys with fighting as a last resort. It is something that i have always become passionate about and be like them. Courageous, skilled, able to protect the ones i love, and also have more self confidence.
Intro 2
I once read a quote from Bruce Lee that stuck with me. "Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successfull personality and duplicate it." It was a lesson i thought he learned from martial arts. There have been a lot of other martial artists that have had amazing sayings and i have always wanted to be one of them. I wanted to be able to make peace with my enemies, without fighting if i could manage. Always wanted to be the knight on a white horse to save the ones i love. Also be able to stand tall, with head high and not care what people think of me and be myself. I think thats why the attitude and the impression of the warrior or the martial artists makes me want to become one.

Place graf
When i went to a flea market in Colorado it astounded me how people could just clean out a basement of junk and make money off it. When i was walking around i found a very nice shop that had swords and knifes. When i got my fill of the weapon shop i went to the shop next door and my jaw dropped. It looked like a tornado went through a trailer park and just had everything thrown all over the place. Most of the items he had i couldn't even tell what they were. The thing that boggled my mind was not the mess it was the simple fact that people were buying trash for money. There was a broken army children set that had sharp edges from where it was stepped on. Someone grabbed it and said "how much for this awesome toy?" All i have to say is that man was making money off of nothing and trash and it baffled me. There were a mixture of nice shops and tornado shops as i started to call them. To this day im still at awe that it even happened and i witnessed it.
research history
When i was going through high school i noticed a trend that sparked my interest. All of my friends fell into the same category. When i look at all the relationships in school it is based on looks not personality. Most of the people want the bad boy type. They like being cheated on and hurt. I wanted to know why they developed that habit. So my first step i decided to do was talk to my friends and ask them why they deal with idiot men. They would always say "i don't know and i wont give him a second chance." Then less then a day later they are holding hands and kissing. It was a delema i wanted to solve and find out why. I did a servay and recorded my friends answers. What is your parents relationship like that you have seen? This amazed me they act just like there parents do. They look for a relationship like their parents and feel comfortable with it. So i asked myself if it was a trend for kids to act like their parents and to take their habits with them into life. I looked at a few statistic web sites that almost 100% of children take after their parents. It may have taken a couple weeks of me looking but i finally found my answer as to why kids have relationship habits. Its habits developed from watching their parents.

Why
When I look into why I want to write about and also eventually visit Ireland its not hard to tell. I like to travel a lot. I think that Ireland will either quench my drive and desire for travel or make it worse to the point where I have to see the world. Watching all of the movies and also learning about different cultures in history class. It all adds to one dramatic venue I like to travel and need to travel to Ireland.
How do i travel to Ireland?
Where do i stay in Ireland?
What kind of tours do i go on?
What is there to do as a tourist?
Do I take a plane or ship?
Do i stay in a hotel?
Is there information tours?
Is there site seeing tours?
Can i go to pubs or visit historical sites?
Is there event that would be cool to see?

Person
Have you ever had that one person that changes how he acts with certain people that you get whiplash? Its like a constant neck pain talking to this person. He says you can vent to me and i wont tell anyone and sped the news like a wildfire on gasoline. He has to be happy one second mad the next and spaced out all wrapped into one second of the day. One example of what he does is he will be sitting at the table eating food with me and then one second later hit the table pissed. I would ask "what is wrong Joe now?" He would answer with "I just remember that man the other day tried to fight me." Wait here is the kicker one more second and he looks of into space and become a space cadet. After like the fifth time of dealing with this i lost my temper and said Joe your giving me whiplash with your constant mood swings in less then a minute. Stop breath and wait to change so i don't have to go to the doctor. Lets just say since then he has never alk nor sat with me for meal. He has changed to annoying other people. Part of me is sorry i said that while the other is jumping from a airplane with a parachute yelling "YOLO finally."

object
Well i have moved a lot in my life and i have had to get rid of a lot of my property. I have really never been a materialistic person. The one item i can say that has a lot of meaning to me would be what my brother did want. It was a game boy color my dad sent to us. He sent one to me that got broken by my mom and then my brothers. He was going to get rid of it and i said no i want it. I dont have a lot of things from my dad due to the fact that him and my mom were divorced and my brother knew it wasnt his dad so he didnt want it. When i look at the gameboy even though i do not play it anymore. I cant get rid of the one thing that kept me thinking of my dad and trying to find him. Everytime i would get discouraged and not want to go on i would pull that system out and start to play it and it would make me happy. I have been looking for my dad and his side of the family for over ten years. When i was thinking about giving up or driving up to the last address my dad had. When i moved to california i was thinking about trying to get a car and driving to maine to see my dad if i could find him. When the best thing ever happened to me. My aunt called me and said is this Brandon. I felt like i was in a dream. She said we have been looking for you for over ten years and we finally found a way to contact you. I looked at my gameboy that was from my dad and was saying thank you. I quite my job that day and was on a plane to Maine that night. I dont think i will ever get rid of the system due to the fact that i found my family and are with them right now.

Background re writen
When I was going through high school i liked to travel a lot. I moved and lived on my own in many places. I lived in Washington state. I traveled to Maine every summer till fifth grade. I visited a lot of family in Ohio. When i was going through High school i seemed to like to get away and visit different places. What i really never seem to be able to fill was my love of travel so I wanted to see if visiting Ireland would quench my longing for adventure. When i graduated from high school i worked a lot and visited all over Colorado. Pueblo, Canyon city, Woodland park, Old Colorado city, and Manitu were a few i liked. Then my friend moved to California and his parents let me come with them to get a fresh start.
I remember in my senior year there was a fad going around where people would act Irish and use the voice and green was every wear. I guess when i came to school with a tattoo they thought i went to far with that interest. I got one that says Irish in old English. I dont know what really made me want to go to Ireland to be honest. I like the idea of getting away from all of the electronics and getting to a place where hardworking careing about family matters and seeing how they survive without all that we have. Its interesting to me because i want to be able to be that hard working and family binding. There is a whole difference in life style that it makes me want to learn about it and visit. I dont really know much about Ireland except for family ties and hard working different culture ,but the funny thing is i cant stop thinking about it and wanting to visit. Its weird there really isnt much that peaks my interest that i am willing to research and write about except visiting Ireland. Well if I am thinking back to when i first thought about going to Ireland is when my friend in middle school told me about it. Different rules, Customs, Beliefs, lifestyle wake up call as he said it. He really didnt care about anything at the time but the drinking age and rules. I cant remember that far back but it was talking to him when he came back from his visit that sparked my interest.
The only thing I cant seem to remember is my heritage and relitives i had from my Irish roots. When I found out that I had Irish in me even if it was a little I was proud of it. As they said broud eirknock means pride of the Irish. when i got into high school I was trying to save up money because i knew it would cost a lot to visit Ireland. It didnt work out to what i planned because of things i needed for school and all of the Ireland items i found i started to collect them. So i got a lot of shirts and celtic music.

Reaction to isearch examples
When I read some of the examples of the I-search papers it made me realize that this is going to take a lot of time and work to get it don't in a way that not only makes me proud and happy to have written it but also gets me a good grade. When I see how much they already knew about their topics it makes me want to change my topic but in the same aspect it makes me want to tackle the challenge. It is a place i would like to visit so it will make me more keen to look into it and get the information I need. I hate to admit it I was thinking this would be a 5 paragraphs essay not what the examples show. It is a change but i like a challenge and doing new things. Natural birth sounds very painful to me and also building for weightlifting would be a workout in it self building it for me. I'm a twig i break when the wind blows. I can tell i got my work cut out for me. It also gave me a base for what to build on and what i have to do to make a great piece of work i can put my name on proudly and not worry about someone else being able to put their name on it.

Topic/Ideas re edited and re written
When I run through the list in my head of the topics that is when the big bad judge comes and hinders my thoughts. I want to write about visiting Ireland. I guess the questions now becomes what about visiting Ireland? Do I want to put places I want to visit? How I will get there and where will I stay? How much will it cost? When im thinking of what to right im still judgeing about how people will react to the writing. I know it is my paper but i want it to be interesting. There is a lot I can also do on the flip side. I can look up distant family members. I can also ask my friends who have visited if they have any interesting stories they could tell me. It will be a lot of work to do this paper but in the long run it will teach me not to let the evil judge in me head take away all of my ides before I even try them.

Unique
I have a love of martial arts and parkour. I write advice poetry and try to help people with advice. If i can find a new game that looks good for my xbox I will but it beat it, then try to find all the secrets. I have an addiction to soda a big one. When I cant go any wear without at lease 1-2 liters of soda that's bad. I have four tatoos. I want to get more. I love techno music it is the best kind of music in my opinion. I hate to read because not many books have caught my interest. I have read all the harry potter books like 15 time's each. I love to dive and play tennis also. I love to text and love my phone. I love going to shoot guns with my aunts and uncles and grandma and grandpa. I love rifles but pistols are awesome too. I guess I have a lot I like to do and some of it other people might not like to do or do. I'm me not you so get over it. I'm unique and no one can take that from me.

Reaction to isearch
Well when I was looking at the set up used it seemed more like a way to get ideas out there and let it flow instead of thinking to much and judging the ideas to much. Also it is a better format then the other type of planing I learned in school. Also its a way to just write down without thinking about it what on your mind and then look at the topics and focus on just one. Then you break it down to things known about the topic you chose. Then ask questions you need to answer for the sub categories of the topic. It may seem like a disorganized way of doing a paper but in my oppion its more effencient. Instead of writing it in a different format and erasing and reading it because you think its bad. You can just brain storm then research the idea more. When it comes time to put the topic into a essay it will be easier to format in the correct way. I think this version of brain storming is more my style.

Is it that kind of question and answer? If it is, please redo the worksheet
Reaction to a reading
Holy cow. That advice I just read about what to ask about writing had so many questions about what I really need to think about asking myself. Like the question about am I just settling for a lame topic I don't like. Some of those questions seem more like statement's to me on how I have thought in the past. Like I used to write about what I think the teacher would like to hear and am to fear full to put some detail into my writing. When I read all of the questions its like a verbal bitch slap saying hey its your writing. If its what you think put it and if it was what you were thinking about at the time don't censor it. I like the advice paper that i read and I will be asking those questions to myself in the future in a hope that it will make me a better writer.
List List List oo and graph

What is he doing. Can he really not have any time to clean up. Or is he just a messy person.
I ca get why he has mail ma by he doesn't want to throw away personal information, but why the marshmellows. Does he eat them while reading or writing watching a movie? He seems so disorganized with everything. He could at least put the empty bag in the trash. If a girl was to walk into his house they would see that he doesn't care about perception, is lazy, messy, hording person that cant clean up and has to keep every thing even a bag that's empty.

Bad Bad teacher
When we look back to all of our school days spent. We think of friends, family, events, sports, clubs, and of course the teachers we hate, like, or just like to complain about. As far as what I can tell or see is that there is one teacher that you dread going to. It could be a teacher that is mean, annoying, thinks he/she is funny, or just flat out irritating. For me it was a mixture of all of that in one person.
Well one of the classes I was looking forward to was health and swimming. My teacher was miss green. I though she was going to be awesome layed back and wouldn't nit pick. I was wrong. She was so mean the first day I went to class. She looked at me and said I guess we already have someone who thinks he is funny and will be to disrespectful in class. I was just laughing at a friends joke. I guess she didn't like me because I was happy to be there and she looked like she didn't want to be there. She picked on me for the rest of that class that day and for a long time after that.
Whenever I had to go to that class i tried to get out of it. This was a day we were going to run a health type of test. We went to the wrestling room mind you I was in fault also in this. Me and my friend were wrestling around she came in when His head hit me in the diafram and knocked the wind out of me. She come over and poked me over and over saying that's what you get for messing around. The first breath of air I could get I lost my temper and said something I shouldn't of. Bad language only gets you into trouble. She always nit picked at me and was annoying.
There was more then one time when we were in class and she would out of know wear start to laugh. She would say after reading a portion of the text book. That reminds me of a joke. She would say the lamest joke I have ever herd. Then she would laugh even more and ask why aren't you all laughing. It was't only jokes it was pranks with grading our papers making us worry then say I was only kidding. She not only wasn't funny she actually thought she was funny.
Whenever I look back to all of the teachers I have ever had in my years at school. I would have to say she is the worst teacher I ever had. She was mean like she hated me. She was annoying with her nit picking at everything. Not only that she thought she was funny. This teacher had every aspect I don't like in a person perfected. If I had to pick one bad teacher I think it would have to be Mrs. Green.

My hands
After I use the bathroom or I am cleaning with chemicals I use my hands for a lot of different things. It look at my swollen knuckle from my martial arts class where I punched wrong and hurt myself. I also see the burn scars from attempting to cook. I remember my first try to cook some burgers on the grill I didn't know it was on at first so I felt the top of the grill and yelled. It had been set up for me and I didn't know. What really hurt was the fact that my girl friend at the time was there and I wanted to cook her something, but I embarrassed myself. She asked if I was okay and said that it looked like it hurt. I was so angry, but i let it good at the end.
When I look at the scar that comes from my wrist onto my right hand I was thinking what was I doing. Then I remembered that I was trying to show off to a girl I liked. I was doing front hand springs over some fences and landing them fine. That's when I got to full of myself and went for a fence that I didn't test to see if it was stable. I ran and put my hand on it and flipped, but it was to late. The bar broke and my right hand with through the bar and right into the metal pile. When I pulled my arm out there was a Hugh gash across my right hand. The only good thing is that I didn't need any stitches.
I have a burn mark on top of my right hand also from all the messed up pranks my friends and i played on one another. We used to try to wake one another up in the most messed up ways we could think about. One of those times I screamed there is a fire and put some clear wrap in the door way so when he ran out of his room he close lined himself. This is where my scare comes into play he thought I was kidding when I said I don't feel much in my hands. So he heated up one of his knifes and put it on my hand expecting me to wake up saying ouch. I didn't wake up until I smelled my skin burning and yelled at him.
The only other mark I have on my hands is also on my right hand which I guess since its my dominant hand it has more abuse to it. Is on of my other knuckles is swollen. Me and my brother were arguing about who would sit it the from seat of the car. We argued for so long then he ran as fast as he could to the car. Of course I would have one if not for the door of the house. He got to the door before me and slammed it shut at the right time to have my right hand also slammed in the door. Just my luck hurt my hand and lost the front seat.
When I think about it I really didn't think about what I was doing and what could happen to my body. When I look at all the scars and marks I have left on my hands I think to myself. I guess that why I never try things without making sure that they are safe. It taught me what to do and what not to do. Scars do leave a memory imprinted not only on your body but in your mind as well.
When I look at the scar that comes from my wrist onto my right hand I was thinking what was I doing. Then I remembered that I was trying to show off to a girl I liked. I was doing front hand springs over some fences and landing them fine. That's when I got to full of myself and went for a fence that I didn't test to see if it was stable. I ran and put my hand on it and flipped, but it was to late. The bar broke and my right hand with through the bar and right into the metal pile. When I pulled my arm out there was a Hugh gash across my right hand. The only good thing is that I didn't need any stitches.
I have a burn mark on top of my right hand also from all the messed up pranks my friends and i played on one another. We used to try to wake one another up in the most messed up ways we could think about.
