Tattoos #9

Do you consider tattoos artwork or junk? Do you discriminate against them? I personally thing tattoos are a simple piece of artwork. Most people do not get tattoos to intimidate people or insult them or just get them just because. All of the tattoos I have mean something and have something to do with my life. My boyfriend does tattoos so of course I'm going to be different and into them some might say, but in high school I even wrote a paper about tattoos being artwork not just junk or ink on someones skin like some describe it. People that already have tattoos will tell you they are like a drug, addicting. At first when I heard that I personally thought they were lying, but once I got one I kept going, now I have eleven. After I have the baby I'm of course going to get more, but getting a tattoo while you are pregnant can hurt the baby. My boyfriend makes very good money doing tattoos so it is not like he isn't making money but there are people out there that discriminate people that have them.

Teen Pregnancy #7

Teen pregnancy. What is your views on it? Do you think teenagers will be able to make it through high school or college while pregnant? Do you think they will come back to school after having their baby? When I found out my best friend was pregnant in high school she said she was going to go to college and I believed her but now it is two years later and she still has not gone to college and I really do not think she will ever go back to school to pursue in her dreams because of her baby. She might do it once the child is old enough to be in school herself but I really do not even see that happening. I personally never thought it would happen to me. I found out Tuesday, September 29,2009 that I am five weeks pregnant. Makes you wonder what I am going to do doesn't it? Now, since I have you wondering I do plan on having the baby in June around my due date and keeping it. Then I plan on going to Western Illinois University to finish off my college career. At Western Illinois University they have housing units that my baby, my man and I can live in, which will be very helpful for me and the rest of the family. Once I graduate college I plan on having my own business being a Certified Public Accountant, which is what I have always wanted since I am very well with numbers. While all this is going on I plan on letting my child know that it is very important to have an education to get through life as you need and as financially stable as possible.

Response and Feedback #6

The different kinds of responses and feedback I have gotten are many different types. I have had negative feedback, positive feedback, feedback I was unsure on how to take, verbal feedback, laughter, silence, and no response that I was unsure of what to think about. The feedback that I have had from my teachers/ instructors varied. I had some that were positive and some that were negative, but in the end they were not really negative they were just trying to make me a better writer. I have had friends even give me negative feedback, laughter, silence and of course positive feedback. The friends that gave me the negative feedback were not trying to down grade me they were trying to help me get a better grade in the class over all. Friends can be good for many different things in this case feedback on things you write and your perspective over theirs. With the many different kinds of feedback and responses that I have got it has had a positive, negative and curious effect on me. When people were criticizing me I was wondering what I had did wrong and what I could have changed. When people were praising me I was still thinking there was something in the paper that could have been better but there were also things that were just right or people would not have agreed with the way I wrote it. When I did not get any feedback or responses I was worried that I did something horribly wrong or something horribly right. It sent many different thoughts running through my head, I was confused, aggravated, upset, excited, nervous, and anxious because I was not sure what the audience was thinking.
