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?

     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.
