Going-to future

Spending time with my classmate and my new friend, who I will call Betty Boop, has really opened my eyes for my future. Betty Boop is truly an inspiring person who has touched my heart. For my last journal, I am going to talk about chapters eight through fourteen in my textbook, Adult Development and Aging by John Cavanaugh and Fredda Blanchard-Fields. First, I asked Betty Boop if she has met her personal goals over the years. She had to stop and think about this as we were at the bowling alley having a good time. After Betty Boop bowled, she looked at me and said that she had met her personal goals. “I have lived in Hawaii, I have been married, I have the best family and friends, and most of all, and I have God.” To me, personal goals are opportunity you get to do that can change your life. According to my textbook, personal goals are across a person’s lifespan starting a young adult age (Cavanaugh, 2015). Betty Boop’s advice for my classmate and I was, to never give up on our life goals. “Go the extra mile because life is too short and always remember to pray to God daily”. Getting to spend my last day with Betty Boop, my husband Andy, and I took her out to eat. This…

afternoon dragged on endlessly. School was out at three and with the sun still blazing my mom decided to drag me with her to one of her vitamin and good earth organic supply stores. It wasn't exactly the worst place to spend your afternoon, since it had better air conditioning than any house or store alike around for a good block or two, and it smelled pretty damn great. The one guy running the shop was about as preppy and basic as they came, with a salmon pink polo shirt unbuttoned down the…

I got everything ready, including my passport, but it just wasn 't meant to be. When I went to LA for the film festival, I tried to meet Rick Ravanello, but he was too busy, and our schedules just didn 't work. I considered going down to LA this fall when Dylan Neal and Brooke Burns were on Home and Family on the Hallmark Channel, but the timing never seemed right. I used to dream about meeting Sebastian in Vancouver, but I had essentially given up on that dream ever happening. The timing never…

“Alright good luck.” Rich responded. I went home and got up the next day determined to find the girl. I don’t know why I wanted to do this so much. Maybe it was because I wanted to go around New York like I did last year, I mean I could have done it any other weekend, but I guess I didn’t have any reason to. Or maybe it was because if it was for Phoebe I would be pretty pissed. I’ll tell you that a lot of things happened while going around in New York but I’ll just summarize for you. I went to…

to understand and stated, “Zach has already told me this. I’ve known about it for a long time now”. After the disclosure Mrs. Lee was asked how she was going to help Mr. Lee comply with not having contact with her children. Mrs. Lee made it clear that she has made arrangements with family and friends to watch her children in Port Orchard when she visits Mr. Lee here in Snohomish County. The two also made it clear that Mr. Lee would not be in Port Orchard so physical contact with her…

Obviously everyone has heard the saying everyone is different. Which is true, and that means that people are going to have different opinions on their relationship with "stuff". Growing up my mom has always told me, "Erica you better not get rid of your grandma 's stuff when you get older, or I 'm gonna come back and haunt you." Which I guess I 'm just not a sentimental person, but I have never saw the point of keeping it. To me in order to keep something you have to use it. So I have never…

of us started walking to dollar general to get something to drink and i got myself a dip ice cream mini bites. Then we started heading to farmington on the bloomfield highway it took like twenty five mins to get to a turn off that went by hill, thought that it be a short cut crossing the hill but it didn’t turn to be a short cut. The four of us go up the hill on top and we just mess around on top of the hill, but we did kinda got lost on the hill for at least ten mins. We got are self down from…

had probably been even in the realm of what he was going for, at least initially. Especially initially. He’d vowed to ruin her day, everyday, of course she fucking hated him. “No.” Small, but sure, her answer came, and when he looked thrown, she at least had that to savor. She had people she hated; her rapist, Lilly’s killer, Don Lamb for a million reasons. She’d never really hated Logan, had she? Hadn’t that been the problem? “When’d you start forgetting to hate me?” Slowly, she moved…

liked video games, art, and using swear words for emphasis. And he will definitely be the first to die in the zombie apocalypse. In gym class, she had a new personal goal: help Hunter pass gym class. No matter what, she would give him the numbers he’d need, (what are friends for?) but she wasn’t going to tell him that. She wanted him to earn it, or at least, try to earn it. Though today, he might’ve tried…

“And that is all for today class, make sure to do the readings and the homework that I have assigned in the syllabus. Who knows, you may or may not have a pop quiz coming up,” the aged professor says. Concluding the class with a slight cunning grin. As all the students get up to grab their bags and leave, I turn to Amanda and say, “hey Amanda, would you want to exchange phone numbers so we can do the homework for next week.” The words get out from my mouth very quickly, since I had been thinking…
