my life capsule


In History class we are writing essay's about important people in History and as part of the assignment we have 
to come up with items that would represent our person and put them in a time capsule! Now I'm going to talk 
about what I would put in a time capsule to represent myself. 

Family / Childhood: As a child I was very happy and creative. I loved reading and anything to do with art. So in my time capsule I would put one of my favorite books and piece of art that I painted.

Heritage / Culture: I have a HUGE family. My grandpa has 7 brothers and a sister, so I would put a photograph of all of them in Holland in front of their flower business.  

Accomplishments / Achievements: I think one of my bets accomplishments was after training for the Carpinteria orchard to ocean 3k run. I finished in under 35 minutes and made top three out of the 11 to 18 age group (I was 12) Another one of my best accomplishments was when I got an A on my Grammar Final in 6th Grade. 



Legacy Left Behind: I am basically a kind person and I hope that people feel the same way. I want to be remembered as a funny, sweet, and lovable person so I would put a candy heart inside my capsule.

And all of these things would go inside of a treasure box because who doesn't like finding treasure!

Me as a Motif

Today I will be writing about how animals have effected my life. In The Glory Field we are tracking the motif of animals, like birds, dogs, and horses. 
Those three animals have a strong impact in my life and in the Glory Field. 


Birds that are in my life are owls. Not only are they my school mascot, but they are a big part of my outside life and where I live. However, owls are not the only type of bird in my life. I am a photographer so birds are something that I can capture in the moment. 



My family and I are very big animal lovers and we have many animals. I have four dogs which have helped shaped who I am today. They have taught me how to be responsible and caring even more than you would know. 
However, in the Glory Field dogs aren't a happy thing like in my life. Dogs were helping the white people to capture the runaway blacks, so most of the Glory Field Characters had a negative experience with dogs. 


Horses are another animal that have made an impact on my life. I started horseback riding when I was 10 and a few years ago I got my own horse, Sunny. Like dogs, my horse has taught me how to be responsible.

Child of the West

Am I a Child of the West or not?

I am definitely am a child of the west because I can't imagine myself living in another part of the country. However, I do want to go travel around the world and the United States. 



I am for sure a West Coast girl because I love the beach. I also love camping and being outdoors which is something that is very common in California. I go camping in Big Sur which is SO amazingly beautiful.

My Legacy


What do I want my ancestors to remember about me?

 
I want my grandchildren to always be kind to others and to remember that people are having their own struggles in life. So always be optimistic and give people the benefit of the doubt. 

I want my great-grandchildren to always be brave and follow their dreams. Live life to the fullest!

My Three Words

In English class we are starting to talk about Identity. So this blog post will be three words that explain my life and what I am as a person.



Friend: I think one of my best qualities is that I am a great friend. I love to have people I can trust and rely on. I hope people feel the same about me. 

Sister: I have two younger sisters and a younger brother. I love them all so much and I can't even begin to think about life without them. 

Happy: I am a generally happy person and I like to make others around me happy as well. I think that one of the most important things in life is to be happy with yourself and to be happy with your life.

Revolution

If I could change the world within my lifetime, I would want there to be world peace, to end malice, and to keep everything safe. 

WORLD PEACE: I want everyone to coexist with each other and everything around them. To not have wars and no violence.

ENDING MALICE: All the anger and hate in the world needs to stop. People must take care of each other and be friendly.



SAFTEY: Every person on this planet should feel safe and welcome. Children, Adults, Animals, and every single living thing. People should not fear being judged and they should be themselves.



How would you want to change the world?

My quest in Life

I don't really know what I want to do in life, however I do know that I always want people in my life. Funny, happy, and exciting people that want to make memories.

I want to take vacations to many different places since I've never been out of the United States. Whether I would take a plane, boat, or some other way of transportation. ZOOOM! Since I absolutely  cannot live without cheese I would definitely go to Holland.  


New York City
The Caribbean 
Colorado
