Time Capsule


This is part of an English assignment that I had to do... so this is just about me and my opinion on things, enjoy :)



What is important to me:

My education is one of the most important things to me, I want to succeed in the jobs I choose for the future, and I enjoy learning and experiencing new things. Even things that are irrelevant to school I like to know about, like ‘Why does the sky turn orange at sunset’ Which is one of the things I actually don’t know yet, but don’t worry I’ll find out...
I’ve been told I ask too many questions.

Relationships are another important thing because these people support me through the ups and downs, and watch me grow into a better person. I know I would be lost without them.

Health, I know health is very important because I couldn’t achieve anything without being healthy first, I learnt this two years ago when I got taken into hospital with an appendectomy because my appendix ruptured, and even though that wasn’t my fault I think I’ve looked after myself a lot better since.
My views on:

Pollution: I don’t agree with people littering or trashing the environment, we should look after it as in the future no one wants to live in a dump. We take so many things from the earth and in return we should look after it. It’s all like a cycle, well that’s the way I look at it.

Judgements: Judging is something that we all do at some point, but I think people should keep an open mind on others they don’t know especially if its a bad opinion, and I don’t think you can say you hate being judged because everyone does it at some point.

Abortion: I don’t believe in abortion, it’s wrong to me, even if a young girl falls pregnant and she does not want to keep the baby, there are lots of women who can’t have children, that would love a child, it’s like saying murder is okay. That poor little child loses it’s life because of one mistake.

Memories:
My best memory, I don’t know I have many. One that I’m thinking of now is when I was little I would be tucked in for the night with my pillows and all 30 soft toys, each one named and in a certain place, to scare off the monsters (I had a HUGE imagination, still do) and my dad used to sit on the bed beside me and read me a bed time story, I can’t remember if he was good at reading but I know I used to enjoy it.

What makes me:

Laugh: Almost everything makes me laugh, life would be miserable without it :) My closest friends make me laugh the most, my laugh changes into a siren and i start crying when I find something very very funny.

Cry: Sad movies make me cry, I just always feel what they are going through like I’m going through it too. Movies like Marley and me (I cry every time the dog dies) I’ve never watched the notebook so that would be interesting.

Worry: I worry about peoples feelings, friends/family and my pets and if somethings not working out the way that I want it to, but most of the time my worry goes away very quickly because I’m determined to fix it.

Definitions:
What is beautiful? something that is flawed and imperfect. Mother nature is the most beautifulest thing and it’s not beautiful if you try to change it, it just becomes fake and unnatural.
What makes a kiwi? well everyone would say stuff like BBQ’s, jandals and socks, rugby, but I consider that stereotyping,they just represent us. Friendliness, and support are the things that separate us from other countries.

My friends and parents would say I was:
Caring, trustworthy, loyal, good with advice, determined, strong, patient, happy, sometimes lazy….a bookworm, hilarious, weird, sometimes sassy, stubborn, an animal lover

How have I changed in the last five years? I would like to say I’ve matured but I don’t think I have, one of the biggest things I think has changed is my confidence levels, 5 years ago I was the kid that was very shy,didn’t like speaking my opinion and had very few friends, now I voice my opinion too much probably, and have plenty of friends.

What do I want from life? Wow... that’s a big question, I guess I want to live life to the fullest, learn as much as I can; experience as much as I can and leave a mark on this world, to show that I was here at one point. I can’t ask for anymore than that.

What do I think of myself? do I understand myself?
Well I’m comfortable with being myself now and I’ve come to not care what others think of me, their opinions don’t matter because they’re not important to me. I wouldn’t say I understand myself, I think my friends know me more because to me an outsiders perspective is clearer, like a camera when you zoom in too far to take a picture, you can’t see anything ,but when you zoom out you see the whole picture, crystal clear. I don’t love myself but I don’t hate myself either.

Have I viewed anything that is memorable or has made an impact on me?
Sure, many things inspire me. To think of just one tthough is tough, I guess the most impacting thing is when I read books, I feel like it’s my world, a place that I can hide away in. Every story has a plot that without you realising teaches you something or has something that you can relate to in your own life, or life as a whole. Books like Last Song, The hunger games, Tomorrow when the war began series, Graceling, Narnia Series etc...

How am I different from other people?
Well there is the obvious reason, D.N.A, but I think the two things that set me out from others is I don’t try to fit in at all, I don’t care if it’s cool or in with the trends, I don’t care if your popular or hated, if your my friend your my friend. I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t find fitting in with everyone appealing. The second thing is I look at life like my phrase “ If you don’t like your life, fix it” I don’t see any use in moping around because you think your life is too hard ,no. If you think about other people who are going through worse, you realise it’s not a big deal even if it is, you will survive, change will come.
