My Values and Interests

I value countless things in my life and have numerous amounts of interests. My family means the most to me. I was raised in a small town and grew up close to my grandparents, aunts & uncles, and cousins. When thinking about my childhood, I remember things like going to church with my grandparents, being on the farm with my father, and celebrating every single holiday with all my family at my grandparents’ house. My friends, who have always been there for me through thick and thin, mean a lot to me as well. There is nothing like calling a friend when you are having a bad day and having them make you laugh. I value my husband and how he works hard for us to have our house, cars, and anything that we need for our happiness. I also value very much the freedom I have as U.S. citizen in this country. My interest includes such things like animals, sports, children, and entertainment. I have a pet dog that is a pit bull terrier. Its hard at times having a dog that has such a bad reputation even though he would never hurt another dog or human unless he felt threatened. I love sports and watching college and professional sports although I don’t agree with the professional athletes that live a criminal lifestyle being able to continue to play in professional sports. Another interest of mine is children. I hope to be a great teacher one day. I want to touch the lives of many children and help them be the best they can be.


Some currents events that I would like to follow this semester for my reading blog are as follows. The first current event is how Michael Vick, a convicted felon, is being allowed to play in the National Football League. I don’t believe that criminals should be able to be in a spotlight where young children can view them as role models. I believe after a player has been charged and convicted of felony, they should be expelled from the league all together. The second current event I would like to follow is how Michael Jackson’s death is now being ruled as a homicide. I do believe the doctor should be convicted of homicide for Jackson’s death. The doctor did prescribe medication for Jackson but in a deadly dose and combination with other medications. In other words the man is not a doctor but instead a high paid drug dealer with medications at his finger tips. The doctor was well aware that Jackson was addicted to sleep medication but gave him the drugs anyways.
