Personal Legend

              For years I have wondered what exactly is my life's mission in this world. Am I to become a doctor and save the lives of patients? Or am I to become a police officer putting bad guys behind bars? To be honest I am not quite sure what lies ahead for my future. Hopefully good things. I've been having a rough time these past few years and now that it has caused me a mental breakdown and the jeopardy of my grades at school... my goal is to graduate community college, transfer to university to get my bachelors degree in psychology. after that I plan to start my career as a counselor. I believe that this career will help me bring joy and hope to the teenagers and adolescents I would be helping. It would make me feel accomplished with myself and bring positive thoughts toward my soul and well being.

               How do I want to be remembered as? well I suppose someone who was kind hearted, beautiful, bashful, loving and overall a good person. I don't expect to be remembered as a hero like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. or an inventor like Thomas Edison. I just want to be remembered as that girl who didn't care she was always different from everybody else. That girl who would always be willing to help make a person laugh or smile with her witty humor. That girl who wasn't afraid of what others thought of her, and just did what made her happy. I want to be remembered as that girl.

               I want to be happy, its just so hard sometimes. most days I just want to stay in bed and sleep all day. I feel like I've lost my purpose in life. I don't give up on my dreams though. I want to become a counselor. I want to become an actress, and I want to become a loving wife and mother. I currently have a job at the movie theatre so that helps with motivation to get out of bed on the weekends. however, it still isn't enough to help my mind cope with the past trauma of what has happened. I know I need to move on but its just so hard. I don't know why but it has finally taken an effect on my mind and its sad because I have so many opportunities to have fun and explore my mind yet I have so much depression inside. it sucks but I have to make due with what's happened. it is a slow healing process and I'm not giving up yet.

Here lies Jamie Logan

a woman with great ambition

always had hope

while looking mad dope

never gave up

pinky up

when drinking from a cup

never looked down

never showed a frown

never afraid of a clown

always stayed real

and ready for a meal

favorite color was teal

we will never forget you

your humor and love

forever in our hearts

 

 

 

 

 

 



            

workplace gratitude

                       


               The only place I have worked before was at the Revere Recreation Center. It was a seasonal a job in the summer and I have done it for two years now. Our job is to watch kids in a local park from 10am-2pm. My first year doing it wasn't good. I loved the kids they weren't the problem! It was the teens I worked with! Ugh they were horrible! Only two of them were nice and they were barley there. Everybody else would always talk crap about me when I wasn't there... Like really you are all how old now hahaha? I just seems where ever I go there Is someone who has a big issue with me. I'm starting to get sick of it! This summer (my second year) there was much better! I switched parks and the teens were much nicer! I wasn't the only teen playing with the kids too! They would ask or volunteer if a kid asked and that made me happy to see that they weren't selfish like the other vermin I had to work with.

              Cooperation in my opinion is very important in the work force. You know that old saying that not everybody is going to like you in this world and that's dead on true! Sadly you are going to have to work with people you don't like in this world. But you know what, you can do it! if I could do it so can you. Just forget about the drama and put yourself first. Be the mature one. Don't let someone else make you feel uncomfterbal. This is the real world now, don't coward down or let someone walk over you. Never show fear, show that you don't care and that you are strong. Usually it's jealousy and that's why they don't like you. There will be people who like you and that's when you can be yourself while getting the job down.

               I just got hired to work for a company called eworks at the Revere Showcase Cinema. All I have to do is go up to people and ask them if they want to take a quick survey to help benefit movies. I got to meet three of the teens there and they seemed very nice, and professional. If we work together then we can help eworks get the information/feedback on others opinions to help benefit the movies. I look forward to my job training this Friday and finally getting to have a real job that makes money. I feel very comfortable about taking this job, and confident. I suppose my gratitude comes in play here. I am grateful to now have a paying job that won't be temporary. I am grateful that I get to meet new people. And I am also grateful to help make a difference.



For this week's poem, please write a 16+ line hip hop resume.  Many rap songs are about frontin' the skills, the bling, the talent.  Think of the key words and phrases you included in your elevator speech.  Write a rap that highlights your specific skills, talents, and experiences - as if an employer were going to give you a job based on your rhyming ability.

The Wider Path

                                     

Story 1:

          Describe your ideal future.  This is the one that you strive to get to.  It's plan A.  The dream job.  Where you want to live.  How many children (if any) you want to have.  Your big break.  Your ideal financial situation.  Be creative and describe the scene. Imagine yourself in this place - all your hard work paid off.  You did exactly what you set out to do. After finishing two years of community college at Bunker Hill, I ended up transferring to UMASS Boston and got my Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I end up starting my career in a Cambridge public High School as a social worker for teenagers. In my spare time I would participate in the college's drama club, since I graduated now, I joined a local theatre in Boston. Pretty much my career status will be counseling and acting on the side. I plan on still living in Massachusetts, either Revere still or Boston, Cambridge area. Possibly Maine?  I'll make sure to have a car and licensee by then since I now have a paying job. One amazing day I will meet my handsome prince either at work, one of my performances, or just randomly out in public. We will fall in love and spend the rest of our lives together. I plan on having four kids. Two girls and two boys: Juliana, Major, Noelle (Know lee), and Logan Matthew. My kids will NOT be attending Revere Public School's or private schools! I want the best for them!

              As my acting hobby on the side of my career, one day I get discovered by a director from LA who is interested in making me a star. I don't want to become Lady GaGa, Princess Diana famous. I want Molly Tarlov's fame level. She plays a bitchy school girl on MTV's show AWKWARD. A lot of people know who she is, but she doesn't get the press constantly following her around like The Kardashians, or Britney Spears do. So now I will be making more money for me and my family as an actress and counselor. I can see myself now chillen in a big beautiful brick house with a swimming pool in the backyard with a jaquizie, tree house in the front yard with a big fence. Cuddling next to my cute Pit bull dog watching Hey Arnold re runs on a big screen TV, with my family in my big parlor with a huge fire place on to keep us toasty. We are safe, happy, and well supported with my money and the money my husband will make from his career.

Story 2: 
                As I walk out of the Boston Wilbur theater from m performance, I hear this crying noise. I look around until I find this little helpless pug on the side walk. It didn't have a collar, or any scratches on it. I picked the pug up to examine it to see what was wrong with it, and I found out it was a girl. I believe she was abandoned by her previous owner because she was too clean to be a stray. I decided to take her home with me. I put her in my big Coach bag in the passengers seat of my car and brought her home. I named Vanellopie from Wreck it Ralph. We become great companions and I take her on sets when acting. The twist with having Vanellopie in my life is that she replaces my pit bull, which is fine. As long as I have a beautiful, loyal, friendly dog by my side I am happy.

Story 3: 
                I wake up one morning for class, I walk out the door and this limo pulls up next to me. As the window rolls down it is my idol Chanel West Coast. She recognizes me from her concert at The Middle East in Boston and asks me to hop in. Obviously I do! "Hi Jamie you interested in helping me out?" She asks me to help her fame get out in Revere for a movie she is going to star in. She gives me $10000 to get the attention. We go to the football stadium in Revere and blasts on the speakers her music. I am getting paid mad money to help promote her! At the end of the week she tells me to star in the movie with her! We go to Hollywood together and I become her new best friend a long with a new celebrity in Cali! Rob Dyrdek buys a giant mansion and invites us both to live with him along with the rest of his Fantasy Factory crew. I get paid to do crazy stunts like skydiving, bungee jumping, motor cycle stunts with Rob, raps with Chanel, movies in Hollywood, modeling for Young&Reckless clothing by Rob's cousin, and just for being on TV!

This was the happiest night of my life meeting my idol Chanel West Coast, I got her to autograph two posters, and her album. She knows me by my first name because that's her mommy's name. "Aww Jamie you are so sweet it was so nice to meet you! I'll never forget your name! Enjoy Your night and get home safe!" - Chelsea Dudley (Chanel West Coast) 12/2/13
