Sensory Expireience
Stepping on the the sand it burns I can fill the soles of
my feet sizzling.As I walk further the wet sand
squishing between my toes like playdough it starts to
cool down.The air smells like salt,the waves crash
against the shore.Little feet slapping against the sand
running away from the tide.My first steps in to the
water are relaxing,then the adrenaline hits when a 3ft
wave is rolling in at full speed.I dig my toes in to the
sand trying to keep my balance.The wave hits me and
Im soaked every time I speak its an overload on salt
and my eyes are blood shot and burn a little,despite all
this I cant resist going back for more.

crazy happened you got to believe
me! See what had happened was I
woke up at 7:30 I had jumped out of
bed and had rushed to put on my
clothes as I was running I fell down
the stairs and broke my arm,the whole
 thing came off,but that didnt stop
me.I ran out side and a dog snatched
my broke arm out my hand and took
off with it.I chased him and got hit by
a car and died.but Im back now so
its all good.

 Personal Symbol

My Personal symbolof course would be

food! Not just any food though,a
musubi.It represents a place I miss very
much and hope to return to soon.Almost
every day after school me and my friends
walked to the gas station and bought as
many as we could.It brings back
memories of sunshine,laughter,and local
vibes.

Flash Back
If I could relive a day in my life it
would be prom night.I would
relive prom night because it was
a highlight of my senior year and
I got to enjoy myself with few of
the people I will miss after high
schoool.The event and after
couldnt have went any better.
Rememberance of things
Present
In 20 years I will be 38 years old probably
married with kids,thats my real goal in life to
be a good mother and wife and be
independent.and when I look back on my life I
want to remember a few things.I want to
remember my senior prom and how much fun
I had.I want to remember the crazy things me
and my cousin did together before he left for
the military.I want to remember how much my
dad has done for me and appreciate it much
more than I do now.I want to remember
getting accepted to UAB and how excited I
was and thinking that was the first step to my
success.
 As Time Goes Bye Bye
One thing I want to accomplish before I turn 35 is becoming a mother and being
sucessful.Thats my main goal and what I work hard for in the long run,a business woman and a
good mother is all I strive to be.But as time goes by other things start to fade out my life.Here
are a few things that have come and gone that I have said goodbye to.

Military-Majority of my life I was raised in a mlitary setting and I enjoyed everything about
it.My life was better and much more enjoyable.The places I lived,the people I met,and the things
I did will always be memomarble,but its something I cant go back to.

The worsem Jazlyn-A person I once was has come and gone and Ive learned a lot from the
expierences and consequences that have come from the decisions that I use to make.I dont
regret anything Ive done but Ive definatly learned from it.She is long gone!

My Family-My parents divorced after 26 years of marriage and it split my family in two.It was
sad at first but things you have to get over and Im over it.Its weird saying goodbye to your
family but its something that will never be the same again.

Relationships-You have to let people go sometimes even if you dont want to its better for the
both of you.Certain people I had to cut off and its a weight lifted off my shoulders Im happier
and more focused now.

Series of Unfortuante events-Things that have happened to me because of others spite,

sickness or whatever may be the reason I have to say goodbye to.It was traumatic at first but
you have to learn to forgive people for yourself.You have to say goodbye to all that hate and
move on with your life.

Child Hood-Its my senior year and sadly I have to say goodbye to my childish ways.Adult hood
is a month away andI have to transition into adult hood .Its sad but you cant be a teenager
forever.

Look Who I Look Up To

Michelle Obama-

Michelle Obama is truly my role model,if any one ever asked me who I look up to
with out a doubt Id say michelle obama.She is everything I aspire to be.She holds
two ivy league degrees and hold her own title and legacy and doesnt hide behind
her husbands presidency.Her persona is graceful and welcoming and she supports
everything feminist.She encourages girls to do and be whatever they want to
be.She genuinely cares about people she has launched lets move to fix or obesity
problem in America she brought so many people together,she got the school lunch
program passed to better our school food,She partnered up with regoal grocerers to
build over 1,500 stores where people had limited or no healthy food,she got the
worlds largest full service resturant company to improve their kids meals,and so
much more.

Beyonce-

Beyonce stands firmly on feminism and the empowerment of women.She is a

powerhouse in music but behind the scenes is quiet the humanitarian and business
woman.She has donated hundreds of thousands to organizations.She has partnered
with foundations to spark global movements to help others.She reaches out to
people through her music and uplifts them.She is the true definition of beauty and
class.Everything she does seems to be flawless.I admire her grace and her hustle
and how she doesnt let any one or anything get in her way of staying at the top.

Bill Gates-

Bill gates net worth is 66 billon dollars,I know so many people who wouldnt even
think about helping anyone with that kind of money.He has given away 28 billion of
hiss 66 billion.He has been called the most generous person in the world.He is a
leader,philantrophist,and entrepunear. I admire how hes a risk taker,a generous
person,and how he built his company up to be the worlds largest softwarebusiness.
Remembering the
child
As a child I was told I was bad,I use to hit other kids and curse
and I didnt know how to act,I got kicked out of day care for
 opening the gate and leading all the kids across the street but I
was also a very emotional child and was always crying which is
contradicting to me.The one memory every one always talks
about is when I was about 2 my mother left me and my siblings in
the truck to run inside my grandmas house.I crawled my way to
the front and took the emergecy brake off and we rolled into my
grandmas fence and I knocked it down till this day her fence is
still bent up.

One Medium Suitcase

If I was leavng home forever Id bring my
baby box,my ukulele,and my photos and
clothes.Id take those things because all
of them have a connection to my
childhood and are filled with memories.
 The Perfect Present

My perfect present would be passion.I feel the most sucessful people are passionate
people who have drive about what theyre dong.Im the type of person that goes
with the flow and nothing reaches out and grabs at me and drives me to work at it.I
want success and will have success but I want it to come from a deeper meaning
and a deeper place.
Memorable Event
 A memorable event this year was the football games I went to.I
always have fun at the football games and it will be another thing
Ill miss about high school.I reunited with people at games and
enjoyed myself with friends and met new people at games.
