In my English Comp 1 class there is a guy I sit next to. His name is Timothy Pledger. He went to high school at some place that I do not really know. He just told me he went to Sidney Lanier. Not like I know where that is, but it makes him feel special. Tim is a very interesting character. The first thought about him that comes to mind is basket ball. Pretty much I think that is all he does and thinks about doing. He works at Winn-Dixie as a bag boy. He makes a star bag boy. I am not really sure if he will help people take their groceries outside to their cars or not, but he can put groceries in a bag like no one else. Snail videos on YouTube make Tim very happy. I know that is a little odd, but they really make him smile. He loves English class. Writing papers would be a hobby of his. Not really. He does not really like writing papers at all actually. However, he does love English class because I am in it with him. We are pretty much best English class friends! Even though he is late to class almost everyday! Tim takes his little sister to school everyday. He is so mean to her. She in turn beats him up and makes him cry.
For Halloween this year, Tim gave toothbrushes out to the little children. That is how mean he is. The kids wanted candy, but no. I think the kids beat him up for that. He will not admit it, but if you mention "little trick-or-treaters" he gets very scared.
Tim is a pretty cool guy. He does not talk much. He likes to wear gym clothes all the time. Basketball is his life. Physical therapy is his major. He may have his life planned out, but I am not really sure. However, Timothy Pledger is pretty much one of the most awesome people I know!

Moving To AUM
It was my senior year of high school. The time to go came for me to choose where I was going to go to college. I had many choices in mind. I came to AUM as one of my "college tour days." When I got here I was so very nervous.
"Are you okay babydoll?" asked my mom.
"No! I am nervous and scared! This college thing is more than I thought it would be." I replied.
My mom and I walked into the admissions building. We found the lady we needed to talk to about getting information, and then our tour of campus began. The campus turned out to be not as big and scary as I had imagined. The campus size seemed to be similar to the size of the campus of the community college back home. My nerves settled, and I realized this is where I wanted to go.
Initially I was a nursing major, so during our tour we went and met the Pre-Nursing adviser. She turned out to be a really nice lady and answered all of the questions I had. This just added reasons to why I wanted to be a student at AUM.
I got back home and started to talk to my mom. I told her everything I thought about AUM. She told me what she thought as well. I thought about how the campus seemed to be small enough not to overwhelm me. I remembered that the Pre-Nursing adviser had said the classes were not very big at all, the way she made the class size sound they were not much bigger than my class in high school. Then I thought about distance. My mom has some health issues, and I can get to AUM in about an hour and a half; therefore, I knew I would not be that far away if something happened and my mom needed me. Taking everything into consideration, I knew I wanted to go to AUM for sure.
I got accepted to the college and to the Pre-Nursing program. I even received a scholarship to come to AUM.
Here I am now going to school at AUM. I still love it. Only one thing has changed for me, and that is my major. I swapped to a psychology major because one of the teachers here inspired me. The atmosphere on campus everyday makes me grateful for my decision to come to AUM.

Hero
Everyone has a hero. Some people choose a person they actually know and talk to in person to be their hero, while others choose their idols or people they do not actually know to be the person they look up to. Parents, friends, teachers, and celebrities can be choices to be a person's hero. A hero can be defined as someone who does something that makes an impact on one life or the lives of many. Heroes portray bravery and courage. People have heroes that they want to be like.
My hero would be Mrs. Karen Anderson, also known as "momma." My mom has been through so much throughout her life. No matter what obstacles she has faced, she has overcome them. She does not let anything bring her down. At home she saves our lives just by being there. With out her at home, I really think everyone would starve or really hurt someone because there would be no peacemaker. She proves her strength by just putting up with my dad, my little brother, and me. Courage, love, compassion, determination, and strength are just some of momma's amazing qualities. She has taught me how to be the best I can be. She always uplifts me when I am down. My mom is also very opinionated. She is not afraid to speak her mind, and get her point across. Karen Anderson would have to be one of the most amazing people I know.
In my life, I try to live by the examples given by my mother. I try to keep my goals in mind, and not let any obstacles stop me. Strength is something I envy of my mom. I try to be strong like her, but sometimes I do not succeed. My mom is my hero because she is the person that I try to be like in basically every aspect of my life. She is the one who gave my life, and who has helped me throughout everything.
Heroes can be anybody. They do not have to be a celebrity. My hero is my mom. She may not be famous in the eyes of other, but to me she is. I love my mom, and really hope that one day I can be like her!

French Fries
French fries come in many varieties. Fast food places are known for serving their own "type" of french fries. Two fast food restaurants are well known for their french fries. Arby's is known for their signature curly fries, and McDonald's is known for their signature golden fries.
All I can say is this: Arby's curly fries are amazing! The fact that they are curly and springy just makes me happy. Their taste can not be mimicked. Many people have tried to copy Arby's curly fries, but none have succeeded. They are just a classic. I know with me personally I really only go to Arby's for the curly fries. From their seasoning to their crispy texture, these curly fries are like none other.
When it comes to McDonalds fries, they are decent I suppose. They have a signature taste that I will admit one can not find anywhere else. Personally they are not my favorite. However, I know there are people are out there they just think these fries are amazing.
Both of these brands of french fries are signatures for their restaurants. Neither can be copied by anyone. Arby's and McDonalds have made a name on their french fries.

Big Brother
There is this reality television show that I am absolutely in love with. The name of it is Big Brother. Now I am not a big fan of reality television, but this show is my absolute favorite of all time. I have watched almost every season! The whole concept is pretty simple. You have a group of strangers, usually it is about thirteen people, living in a house. While in this house these people are completely isolated from the outside world. Over the course of time there are challenges for power. One power is called the head of house hold, also known as the HOH. The person who is the HOH is the head person in the house. They get a luxury room and random gifts from home, including a letter from loved ones. The HOH also gets to nominate two people to be evicted from the house. After the nomination of the two people there is a competition for the Power of Veto. Whoever wins this power gets the opportunity to take one of the nominees off the eviction block causing the HOH to have to pick someone else, the person who won the Veto is safe from being evicted. Then comes the time to vote for the person the group wants to be evicted from the house and sent home. Over the course of time it comes down to the final two and then the last six people evicted from the Big Brother house gets to vote for who they want to win Big Brother. The winner of Big Brother gets $500,000 and the runner up gets $250,000. The whole idea of Big Brother is really to manipulate people so you can get further in the game and closer to the money. Allies are made. People are backstabbed. Lies are told. Friendships are made. It is just a show of a roller coaster of emotions. The creators of Big Brother really made a show that has captivated my attention.
10 years? 15 years? 25 years?
In ten years it will be 2019. I will be twenty-eight years old. By that time I hope I will be graduated from graduate school with my PhD in Social Psychology. I would like to be a trauma relief therapist specializing in trauma relief in children, and I would also like to be doing some research in a lab. Also by this time I hope to be really settled somewhere. Possibly in an area like Montgomery or Mobile. When I am twenty-eight, I hopefully will be married to the "man of my dreams". Will I have a kid or kids? I am not really certain on that aspect. Maybe by this time, though, I will finally get the dog, a miniature Yorkshire Terrier, that I have been wanting forever. Ten-years is pretty far down the road; therefore, I do not have my life planned out in precise detail. Really, I would just like to be settled in my career, and settled in my home-life.
Fifteen years from now the year will be 2024. Wow I will be thirty-three. Getting on up there in years! Well I am pretty sure I will be really settled into my career. I hope to be really accomplished in a little be of research. Maybe find some sort of discovery with medication or treatments for some kind of psychological disorder. My marriage will hopefully be doing really well. By this time I may have a couple of children. I hope to be settled into my big house in the area I finally decided to live in. I can not really give much detail on this because so much can change in fifteen years.
The year 2034 I will be forty-three! Oh my! I only know that by this time I hope to be very settled in every aspect of my life. I want to be very accomplished with my career in trauma relief for children. I also want to be very accomplished in the lab, and hopefully conducting my very own research with followers under my instruction. My family will hopefully be very settled in. My life in general will hopefully be very settled in twenty-five years.

Biology class
I really dislike Biology class. I hated it in high school. That hate has not disappeared over the years; therefore, I still hate biology in college. My teacher is not that bad. He is not the best, but he is not horrible. I just hate the whole class in general. I take so many notes, it is unreal. My teacher does talk pretty fast, and at times I have difficulty keeping up with what he is saying. I get cramps in my hands and ink on my pinkie! It drives me crazy. I figured I would write more in English, but no! I write so much in Biology class that the writing in English class is a piece of cake. Really I would much rather write a paper for English class rather than write notes in Biology class. My papers in English at least make sense. The scratch looking notes for Biology have no consistency. My notes really look like a big thrown together mess about random things about Biology. Also, I just am not a Science person. Obviously Biology takes a branch under the topic of Science. I really do not like going in to all the detail about all of this stuff that I really do not care about. I mean I am sure there is some sort of purpose in Biology. I am also pretty sure that there is a big reason why everyone, not just Science majors, has to take the class. Do I know that reason? No! Do I really care to know the reason? In a way, but not really. Biology class would definitely be my absolute least favorite class that I am taking right now. I can not say of all time because I am going to have to take Chemistry at some point, and I hated that class to in high school. I know I should not have a bad attitude about the class just because I hated it in high school, but I can not help it. I just dislike Science that much!
