Experiences

                      Everybody has some sort of experience he/she has gone through in life. Whether it maybe good or bad, that person learned from it. Experience helps humans grow more knowledge, and go further in life's chapter everyday. Obtaining experience for a job is most needed in today's society. A recent breakup could help you gain better knowledge on what to expect from a partner, and to avoid. As you can see, having experience is most beneficial to yourself, and others around you. I have had three major experiences, where i have obtained in my life that have given me knowledge of myself, exposed my power, and gave myself a lot greater insight about where I want to go in my life.

                     One of the most positive experiences in my life was when my dad took me to Orlando, Florida for my seven year old birthday. It was probably the happiest moment i ever felt in my life. Everything was so new to me. It was my first time seeing a palm tree, huge roller coasters, a giant water slide, going on television! It was really exciting, and breath taking. I enjoyed all the sight seeing, autographs from my favorite cartoon characters dressed up, the amusement park rides of course, being on Slime Time Live, and all the different types of food. The one thing they made me angry on that trip was the day of my birthday. I went on Slime Time Live, however they told me I was too young to get slimed... If anyone ever sees the replay of that episode you will see one angry little blonde girl sitting on the red team with her arms crossed. I was so mad! I told everyone in my first grade class I was going to get slimed. Oh well i had the time of my life. I guess a healthy way I controlled that was just realizing everything else good going on. Going on this trip helped give myself a better insight on where i wanted to go with my life, and that would be wanting to travel the world someday. See other beautiful, fun places to explore, and enjoy. My power would be my curiosity. I wanted to travel and discover more while fun!

                        

                    Another positive experience that I had gained in my life would be my graduation from Revere High School 2013! Everything just went so perfect that day. My grandfather came down from PA to see me! I got to wear a pretty red dress under my white graduation coat, with my hair all cute, and curly, and my makeup done nice. My boyfriend Eddie at the time, came to see me and my best friend Chris graduate. He made his way through the thousands of people on the bleachers to purposely stand behind me near the gate. He kept shouting to the top of his lungs "I love you Jamie Logan!" Especially when it was my time to go up and grab my diploma. Oh the excitement i felt. There had to be at least a thousand people there that day all in the school's football stadium and I heard him scream i love you from so far away. My heart couldn't stop beating, I just felt so happy, and successful! The only thing that went wrong that day would be that Eddie couldn't sleep over, and that made me pretty upset, because I am currently 18 years old, I just graduated high school. Why can't they just let him sleep over? A healthy way i processed that anger was by saying another day. Just look past it positively. Graduation that day, helped me gain a better insight on where i could see myself attending college. I want to do the best I can in school no matter how hard the work gets, I can't get left behind! My power would be achievement. I had driven myself to work hard for that diploma, and applied myself to get on a good path to success with my school decisions. 

                     My third experience that I have obtained is not from a good past memory. It came out from a horrible nightmare. The most life changing moment in my life would be when I was attacked the August 2011, I am a victim of sexual violence. It was the worst experience I had ever had in my life. I felt less then a person after it. The trauma I faced was just so unbearable that it changed me. It changed the naive, cheerful, innocent side of me to a pessimistic paranoid person. I hate it so much! I didn't tell anyone what happened that night. I was just too embarrassed, and afraid. Even though I didn't get an STD (thank god), however It caused me an anxiety disorder, and post traumatic stress. It is the reason why I have so many stomach problems to this day! I'm always very shy, and nervous when meeting new people or going places. My friend kortney was the first friend that I had ever told about the attack in February 2012. I couldn't stop crying in her arms. It took me forever to talk about it to other friends of mine. My family still doesn't know, because I just don't know how to go out and say it to them. I feel stuck. I don't know how to feel sometimes, and it's hard. I feel like i'm at war with my mind all the time. A healthy solution I do to help this is by seeing counselors, therapists, going to group meetings, and taking anti depressants. It's really helped me a lot by staying positive and strong. I'll never give up hope on myself. Someday i plan on telling my parents what happened, but not just yet. Once i feel ready. As much as I hate what I went through, I have no regrets. My insight on this situation helped me figure out the career I want to pursue. That would be to become a counselor to help troubled teens. I understand if you find irony from this since I can't solve my own problems, but I want to help others. It's good to talk, and express what is going on. No matter how embarrassing it maybe. I want to be there to give an ear, and listen. If i can become a stronger person, then so should more teenagers everywhere. My power is courage. I got the courage to get myself help, instead of commit suicide like other victims. I want to live a happy life. I know I can. There will always be hope.

                     

                   Like a great woman once said, Everybody has some sort of experience he/she has gone through in life. It may have been a positive moment or a not so positive moment, but the fact is you gained knowledge from it. Ones knowledge is ever so important. It's not like a pair of UGG boots or the new iPhone. It's unique! Sure someone may share similar thoughts, and ideas as you, but they will never have the knowledge that you learned from and obtained from the experience you went through. That is truly one of a kind. In conclusion, having experience is most beneficial to yourself, and others around you. These were my three major experiences, where i have obtained in my life that have given me knowledge of myself, exposed my powers, and gave myself a lot greater insight about where I want to go in my life, and a lot more about myself that i didn't know. You know what mine are, what's your experience?

                                                         - By Jamie Logan

     Okay i may like to rap to music but this is my first time ever coming up with a rap ,and i know it's lame. Just in case you didn't get the poem coming out of t, basically one worker is trying to con another to take their shift. The person asking to take the shift is a lazy no good for nothing worker, as the other person being asked the question does their job right. There for that person stands up for themselves knowing they don't need to help this person out. Moral lesson to my rap poem, don't be afraid to say no. Even in the working world.

Power

          

               There is something special in everybody. We all find out what our special talent is eventually. Whether it's being good at hocky, playing an instrument or styling hair. My point is that it doesn't matter if you're not good at one thing, you are good at something else. That something else is your special talent. Some people are still unaware of what they are good at. As for me, i discovered my special talent growing up. I always enjoyed drawing as a child. It was fun and kept me entertained. However, i was always judged on my drawings. People would always say "Oh Jamie I don't even know why you bother. You stink at drawing!" That didn't bother me though, because my goal was to rise above my haters and become a better artist, so i did and that is how i discovered this power i possessed.

               A time where i felt I lost power was when i went through a lazy day. There are some days where my mood contradicts my creative abilities. It will over power them by making me feel lazy, and lay on my couch to watch Netflix. I have no control over this.

               What i do to help strengthen this power is by practice drawing moe characters. One day i'll draw The PowerPuff Girls, next day will be Quinn from the MTV cartoon "Daria". I just try to explore diffrent characters to create, see who i can draw, and see what needs work. I have a hard time drawing Shaggy from "Scooby Doo". In conclusion, Everybody pposses some sort of special talent that gives them power. They just need to mess around, and find it. Mines drawing, what's yours?

               My binder cover i made. Courage The Cowardly Dog, Number 3, Bubbles, & Dexter.

                                When I was a Limitless Child

     When I was a limitless child I would constantly play,

I would love to play outside and inside there were so many ideas

that would flow through my head that I had many options to choose

       "What should I play today", I would ask myself, 

I had so many dollys, stuffed animals, board games and videogames

       So hard to choose from when my options are limitless,

                I would love to play on my own, 

that way I had the power to say what comes next & how this works,

My mind was limitless to so many thoughts racing though my brain,

         My childish self could'nt hold any of it back,

      My mind was more open than the door on my front steps,

                As for my toy chest in my room,

         It didn't matter if it were my bedtime either

I had my whole colony of toys to sleep by my side into the night,

                   We were always playing,

          It didn't matter if I were asleep or awake,

               I would still constantly play.

Dear Mentor

Dear Mentor,

                 Hi mom! I chose you to write this wonderful thank you letter to, because you deserve it. I am writing, or should say typing to thank you for always being here for me. You have been a great mentor to me, along with being a parent. I have tons of respect for you, and adore your existence. You are brave, intelligent, beautiful, kind, noble, wise, cunning, and oh so witty. Everyone I know either adores you or knows you’ll crush their existence if they cross us. You are a fabulous cook, great comedian, award winning nominee of hugs, and just straight out a good person.

            We first met on January 15, 1995 at Cambridge, MA. You gave birth to me, you raised me, and you loved me.  You made me realize that to get anywhere in this world you have to work hard for it. Well, that’s what I’m doing. I’m trying to get myself better, making sure I get all my school assignments done, so I can go far in life. You’ve also helped me realize that as long as you’re a good person, you will have good things come your way. You don’t make your way to the top by being a rich snobby person, or being the class bully. You make your way to the top by being kind to others, and true to yourself. With an open mind comes a long journey full of goals to fulfill.

           The kid I was back in the day isn’t here no more. Constantly talking smack to a teacher, pulling shenanigans in class like tying my shoes to the desk, procrastinating homework till last minute or irritating others around me, GONE! Because of your help and guidance, I’ve become a much better student, and person. I respect others who respect me, I talk rationally with a teacher if there’s a problem, I get my homework done when it needs to get done, and I keep my hands to myself, not the desk. The point is I love you and thank you for all you’ve done to help me. Thank you Mom!

                                                                                                                            Love, Jamie Lee 

                                                                                                                                                   
                                                                                
                                                                                     A poem i made for you!
                                                                              
                                                                                           "Who is Tommy?"

Roses named Fred, Violets taste glue.

Moses is dead and pilots got the flue.

My mommy is sweet, and so my queen.

But Tommy is sour, and not a queen.

My mom is the best, it’s so right.

But tom is at rest, and says night.

She is the sun that shines bright.

He is the nun that mines a fight.

   HUH?

"Roses are red, violets are blue."

I made up this poem just for you.

About Me

           Hi my name is Jamie Lee Logan. I am currently 18 years old and i live in a small town near Boston, MA. I am currently enrolled as a student at Bunkerhill Commuinty College, and i am majoring in Psychology. My goal is to transfer after my second year here to a university to get my Bachelors Degree. I want to become a counsler so that i can help guide teenagers on the right path to sucsess. I made this Blogger account for the class i am taking. It's called Voicing Your Future, and it's an online class. This is my first ever blog along with the first time taking an online course. I plan to do my best in all of my classes!

            As you can tell i am intrested with Psychology, but i am also intrested in Theatre. I love acting! Something about being in someone elses shoes interests me. I love to go shopping, my favorite stores to shop at are Forever 21, Aeropostale, Victoria Secret, Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch, Bath&Body Works, Dots, Deb, Macy's, and Amazon.com. I love to draw posters in my spare time. I usually make either myself one or friends. I'll make either cartoon characters, Victoria Secret designs, or something random. What i usually do for fun is go out and hang with friends. We watch tv, play videogames, go for walks or just chill.

          My appearance, I have long blonde curly hair with blue eyes. I graduated from Revere High School this year. I live with both my parents and i have a younger brother and sister who are currently 14 years old. They are twins, Shannon and Steven. My main nationalities are Irish, Italian, French Canadian, Native American, and english. This has been an intresting year so far, i figured out who my real friends are and who doesn't matter in my life. I'd say i'm a pretty creative person. My best friend Kassie says that i always have a plan to do something or help improvise a situation. One time we were in a pickle. We both didn't finish our math homework. My idea to improvise was we distract the teacher. It worked. He forgot about the homework and said it's due tommrow. My other best friend Kortney says i am a very kind hearted person. An example of me being kind hearted would be me spending an hour of my prom calming my friend Charles down. Sometimes i put others before myself but it's only because i care.

          17. Wonderful thing unfold before me. I chose this Acrostic from the list because it best describes me. I'm constantly stressed and i'm always waiting for something good to come out of it. I feel like i've found that wonderful thing but it's taking forever to unfold itself. I'm not a dependent person, but i need his love. Something about him when were together makes me feel hopeful, and strong. So my wonderful thing unfold yourself to me.
