" My Fair Tale"

1. Beauty & The Beast- This applies to the book push and the movie precious because through out  it all she saw herself in the mirror as being beautiful and being in the spotlight while the mother in the movie and in the book her actions was bringing the beast out of her . She didn't care for her daughter to much.

2.The Princess & The Pea

3.The Ugly Duckling -In both the book and in the movie both main characters felt ugly inside and felt like they didnt have any self worth .

4.The Wise Little Girl- Both characters in the book and in the movie made a change in their lives. Both girls had new people in their lives that care for them and wanted tmo see them suceed. They both felt that there was more to live for and to live for their children. Both characters acknowledge the past and decided to let all that negativity go away and just want their hearts to be free.

Once upon a time there was a beautiful young women, that lived in a dungeon far away from everyone. She was cursed by her evil family because she had dreams of pursuing a modeling career so they cast her away from captivity. The family was so jealous of the young beauty, beacuse she had great skin, a beautiful smile, she had natural beauty,she was tall and had a oh so fab figure.The young beauty would \look up to the hevens and cry every night that someone would come and free her. So one night the young beauty was doing what she does every night looking up at the sky and dreaming , she finally fell asleep after crying her eyes and a little fairy came and flew up on her window and flew straight to her bed side. The little fairy told the young beauty that she can be anything that she wants to all she have to do is believe. The young beauty told the little fairy yes I do believe...... The little fairy asked how much do you want to make your dreams come trueand the young beauty replied real bad I want to get away from all this negativity. The next morning the young beauty happen to be hanging up clothes outside and for some strange reason a modeling agent came out of no where. The young beauty was stunned because she never see anyone come near where she stays. The modeling agent loved what he saw and asked her would she like to become a model and the young beauty said yes why of coarse that has always been a dream of mine. He signed her that day and her life wasn't never gonna be the same ever again. That's the story of a young model who's dreams came true all she had to do was believe. THE END!!!!!!!

Community And You ..............

My 6 communities that I am involved in:

#1 School : for me and princess
#2 Church
#3 Riding the subway
#4 Voting
#5 Charity Work
#6 Shopping

School  is a community that matters to me, because I'm getting an education. It's important because without knowledge your nothing. Mine and my daughter's future can be more comfortable and stable after a while. School matters because it expands my brain it teaches me current and past events , that I can teach my children one day. When you further your education there are better jobs that awaits you when your finished.

Charity work and church is a tie. Church matters to me because I keep my faith.I believe in God, there for I am. Just by waking up opening up my eyes it because of the all mighty.Growing up in church I was taught that when you help other you receive good in return. That's where my charity work comes to play.Just helping others whether it's feeding or clothing others puts a smile on my face. I feel deep down in my soul that I did a good deed and even though I don't look for things in return , when I may need I always am provided for. That's what Church and Charity work means to me.



Church & Charity Work:

1. What primary role (s) do you play in that community? The role I play in church is being of the attendants there praising God.The role I play in my Charity work is I either pack or cook and feed people, give away clothes so someone can put clothes on their back and be worm.
2.What are the most important things  you get from that community? The important thing that I get from church is feeling belong and so happy and joyous just being there and to hear the good word. The important thing that I get from charity work is that I'm doing something wonderful for someone else. Making a difference and  making someone else feel at ease changing their life that they will never forget.
3. What are some of the problems,issues,or tensions in that community? The problem with a lot of churches these days is that the higher people like the pastors and deacons be scamming people out of their money. Example: when your putting money in the offering plate they use it to buy cars, house nice expensive things for them and their family when that money is for building the church, repairs  be light and gas bills etc. they use the money for their own selfish needs. The problem with the charity work helping others is that its so many people in need and once again you have people that is trying to take advantage of your generosity, by lying saying or acting that they are in need  when they are really not. As a person who loves to give its hard to trust so it can become very difficult at times. I guess at the end of the day you just have to say to yourself  well i hope that they do good with whatever you gave or did for them.

Progress Assessment !!!!!!!!!!!!

My most favorite/ memorable assignment was doing my strength and weakness, because it gave me a chance to  be truthful to myself and acknowledged my weakness that i may not be good at . My strengths is what makes me;me. My weakness is a process that I will have to work on myself to improve .I was also able to let my peers know exactly who I am.

Here is another favorite of mine my intro to the class "Welcome" . I was introducing myself to everyone, explaining what it is making me motivated to be back in school . What am I studying while I'm in school. What is my career goals when i graduate. My answer to  that was I want to be an advocate for children. That was a touchy subject because I been where these poor children are today, but i wanted to let everyone know that I  over came my struggles and it made the person that I am today. A strong individual who is smart, intelligent, confident, beautiful and know where I been and where I'm going .

I can honestly say that I didn't dislike anyone of my assignments those were the two that I really enjoyed the most.

My assignments that I haven't finished are the fairy tale assignment and The community  assignment. I was behind due to being in the hospital one week and another week was personal. I feel if i didn't have my personal issue this semester that i would be fine, but I cant control people or things around me. Hopefully next semester I wont have this same issue and i will do fine with my attendance. I'm a single mother trying to make my life better and a lot more easier for me as well as my daughter and to let her know that I struggle with her but that I didn't give up on my goals and that I did overcome my triumphs.If I had more time I probably wouldn't be so overwhelmed and stressed, I can take it a little easy and focus on one assignment at a time. My progress I can definitely relate to my strength and weaknesses assignment because I over came one of my weakness " Not to be too hard on myself" and I didn't do that to myself .One of my weaknesses that I'm going to work very hard on is be punctuational . Meaning with school work , being on time to school, doctors appointments etc.. Over all I think that I made some good adjustment this semester and accomplished a few of my goals, I finished this semester with minor bumps and bruises. Next time around I can come with a clear head and fresh new start .
