A man and his cockroach
There once was a man named Tim. Tim was a loner and had no friends. He stayed in a rickety old cottage all by himself. He had no wife because no woman would marry him. Nothing in the world really meant much to him. However, there was one thing that meant something to Tim, his pet cockroach. Tim named the cockroach Sue because he found her near a sewer while he was walking to town one rainy day. Sue was the most important thing in Tim's life. He spent his long lonely days making clothes and food for Sue. Sue was his princess. Tim thought since Sue was a princess, she should learn to dance. Tap dancing was Tim's secret special talent. Day and night Tim worked so hard to teach that cockroach to tap dance. At first it was quite difficult because Sue did not want to cooperate. Finally after she realized Tim as not going to give up, Sue gave in and decided to learn to tap dance. Once she started to learn, Tim knew she was going to be a star. Tim worked very hard with Sue to perfect her dance. One day while walking to town to get more fabric for Sue's clothes, Tim saw a poster that advertised a dancing contest. He knew his Sue could win it. Tim got home and told Sue about the contest. At first Sue was hesitant, but she knew it would make Tim happy so she agreed to enter the dance contest. After filling out the paper work, Tim brought it into town to the man in charge of the contest, Mr. Dancinshoes. Mr.Dancinshoes looked at Tim's paper and began to ask questions. After the fact that Sue was a cockroach, Mr.Dancinshoes could not stop laughing. He wanted to know if Tim was actually serious. Of course Tim was serious. Mr.Dancinshoes allowed Sue to be in the contest because he just wanted to see a dancing cockroach. Sue performed in the contest and tap danced her little heart out. She would have won too if it was not for one of the other tap dancers stepping on her.
UFC better than WWE
Ultimate Fighting Championship, UFC, takes dominate position over World Wrestling Entertainment, WWE, for many reasons.
First and foremost, UFC is real fighting. These are real professional fighters beating the living daylights out of each other. In WWE, the "fighters," I say they are just characters really, are not even really touching the people they are supposed to be hitting. When UFC fighters hit each other and beat the living daylights out of each other, they are really doing it. WWE "fighters" just have good stage presence, and are good at making it look like they are fighting. People really get hurt in UFC fights; however, nine times out of ten no one really gets hurt in a WWE fight (I say nine times out of ten due to the fact there have been a couple of real incidents of people getting true life injuries in WWE). UFC involves real fighters really fighting to achieve a win, while WWE involves really good actors putting on a show for an audience.
Secondly, WWE has story lines and plots. The producers of WWE have the "fighters" follow plots to appeal to audiences. They have stories like friends turning on each other, marriages, and enemies becoming best friends. UFC has no story lines. The only stories told on UFC are the stories of the fighters backgrounds. The UFC fighters do not have plots to follow. They fight to win. That is their main goal. Of course UFC is appealing to the public and the real fighting makes a good show, but the fact is they do not follow story lines.
One last reason UFC is better than WWE is the fact that you never know what is going to happen in UFC. In one fight the usual guy might win, or the under dog may turn it around and win. UFC is always an edge of your seat type event to watch. WWE is quite predictable. People may say it is not, however one usually knows who is going to win what fight, or what is going to happen next. UFC can not be predicted. One can try to say what is going to happen, but usually it usually turns up to be a surprise.

How to write a blog
In order to write a blog, one must follow these simple steps:
First, one must have a computer to log on to. This computer can be a personal computer or a public computer such as at a library or college computer lab. The computer is one of the most essential parts of the whole writing a blog process. Without a computer, one will not have the main tool to write his or her blog. On this computer, one may have to use login information. In order to log on, one must use their login information they were given, for a public computer, or that they created, for their personal computer. After logging on to the computer, one may go on to the next step of this process.
Next, one must access the internet from his or her computer that they logged on to (see step one for information). The internet may have such titles as: internet explorer, firefox, or safari. If one has a question about their internet program, they may want to ask someone who would know about it. The internet is another essential part to writing a blog because the blogging program is on the internet. Once one has successfully gotten onto the internet, they may continue on to the next step.
Thirdly, one must either type in the web address to the blogging site they know or type into the search bar "blogs" to find a program to blog on. The blogging site is the most important part of this process. Without a blogging site, there is no platform for one to blog on. Once one has found a blogging site, one may have to create an account on that site. This usually involves typing in one's email address as a user name or one creating an unique user name. Along with either using an email or an unique user name, one will also have to create an unique password. The password is used to protect one's blog from getting personal access from anyone that did not create the blog. Once things are set up on the blogging site one may continue on.
Finally, once everything is set up on a blogging site, one may create a new post. This new post will be one's first blog. A blog can be about anything that one is feels like writing about. One may write a story about their pet, a story telling about their day, or one may write a poem. Blogs can be about really anything. From animals to people to places. One can be creative when it comes to their blog. If one feels the need to confess their a love for someone over a blog, one can. However, one may want to be cautious about what they write because blogs are public and anyone can read them.
Now one has learned to write a blog. Hopefully one will take this information and go out and blog.

Timothy Pledger
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.
