what i really want in life

What I've wanted in life and the goals I want to accomplish have changed over the years of my life and there's a chance that they may change again, but as of now, I know roughly, what I want for myself. First of all, I of course want to finish college. This means obviously four years or so left. the major I'm going for is Social Work because I've been through a lot in my life and I've learned how to get through some tough times, and I want to help other people with their problems. especially those who cant help themselves. If I can get enough money though, I want to go for my Masters so it'll broaden my job choices and payment amount. As of now i of course live in the dorms, but by the beginning of next year i will be getting an apartment with my boyfriend. When my college life is over with then it'll be time for some change. im not going to rush myself but i want to eventually move somewhere that has a need for social workers. so i'll apply online for jobs all over the US. hopefully i will get a few job offers back and then it'll be time for me to decide where i want to go. As of now i dont have a certain state, city or county that i prefer to move to, so i'll make my decision on how far away i want to move, what kind of area i'd be moving to, the type of jobs i could get there, and a lot of other things. but i do hope to move me and my boyfriend to a different state besides wisconsin or minnesota. i want to work in Child and Family Services because i love working with kids and teens and they are the one's i want to help the most. my dream is to work with the government because they offer great jobs and also provide a lot of benefits for you. even though i dont have everything exactly planned out out in my life i know i will do great and find the job thats right for me. the only other thing i want is, after im settled in and have a good paying job, to have a family of course.

something we have to do

Something that I have to do every year but hate is going to my yearly check-up with my sleep doctor in the cities. Every since I was brought to the sleep clinic sophmore year of highschool and diagnosed with narcolepsy, its necassary that I do a yearly check-up to make sure everything is going good for me and that I dont need any changes made in my medication or anything else. I've hated going to the doctor all my life but since I've had to go to so many different ones when we were trying to figure out what was wrong with me, I've grown more used to hospitals. My doctor at the sleep clinic is very nice, but its such a hassle to have to drive there in the first place. And then when we do get there, even if we're on time or even early, we end up waiting for about an hour past our scheduled time before we actualy get in to see the doctor. What makes it even worse is that since my disorder isnt extremely common and iIexperience a lot of other side effects from it also, doctors really take an interest in my case. So usually every year i go there, doctors in training come in groups from their schools to sit in and listen to me and the doctors conversation and then are allowed to ask any questions they want. and every time im always picked to be a guinea pig for them to question. all the people are nice and respectable, but its so weird having to explain the things i go through and experience from my disorder to strangers. especially since a lot of the things i talk about probably dont make total sense to them. i know they are being taught all about my disorder and other ones too so they can one day be a doctor, but no matter how much research and information they have on a disorder still doesnt mean that they understand. the only way to really learn and understand is if you go through it yourself and experience everything first hand. and even though its basically required that i get a check up each year, it still is something that i never look forward to doing.

routine, expectation, adventure

adventure-

ROUTINE: In highschool I did have a routine set up for what i did each day basically. I'd get up every morning at about 7:00 or so and get ready for school and eat breakfast. Then of course until 3:30 i was in school working hard. When school got out I'd always run home first to eat a snack and usually take a nap. Once I woke up I would either do homework for awhile and then go out to see my friends after, or I'd switch it around and go out with my friends first and do my homework when I got home. Then i'd go to bed between 10 and midnight and get ready to do the same things the next day. but now that i'm in college, i dont really have a routine that im used to yet.

EXPECTATION: When i worked at my last job at the Holiday gas station in my hometown, i absolutely hated it. my boss's there did nothing but complain and would always go out for cigarette breaks and leave us in charge. We never got treated fairly and were always being yelled at for so,ething. even though i did not like my boss one bit and i absolutely hated going to work, i still drug myself tehre every day i was scheduled to work because i needed the money and i wanted to prove to myself and others that i could work hard even with people who are rude and annoying.

ADVENTURE: the best adventure i ever had was going to Aruba for my first time. It's an island off the tip of florida and its absolutely lovely there. the timeshare we stay in is gorgeous and so is all the screnery. it never snows there so its always a perfect sunny day and theres so much you can do. the beach and ocean are right out back of our timeshare so i got to do fun things like jet-skiing and parasailing. all the wildlife on the island is amazing. i love everything about that place and im lucky i get to go there now every other year.

birthday experience

theres nothing really special about my birthday. its on the first of february so its always freezing cold outside which makes it even worse. but the best birthday i can remember was when i was probably a 7th or 8th grader and i got to have my party at an indoor waterpark nearby my hometown. i got to bring like 8 people and they were my closest friends. we had an absolute blast going down the waterslides and everything else. and then my parents rented out one of the party rooms there so after we swam for awhile and gained an appetite, we went to the room and had pizza and pop and played tons of games.

favorite childhood toy

i'd have to say that my favorite childhood toy was barbies. they were a lot more popular back then even though they didnt have nearly as much stuff as they do now. but i loved dressing them up in different outfits, and i had a big sister who gave me a lot of hers and was always there to play with me. i remember that i thought they were the coolest thing ever and figured everyone loved barbies. so i could never understand why my older brother never wanted to play with them with me haha. they probably remained my favorite for a few years and then i of course began to grow out of them. i still remember though, the day my mom decided to sell them at our garage sale, even though i never played with them anymore it was still hard to see them go for some reason.

explanatory and argumentative essays.

The explanatory essay approaches its topic by using a thesis in the first paragraph to inform the reader of the subject they will be reading about. the topic is also given for mainly information and usually doesn't present an argument. Just like the explanatory essay, the argumentative essay also usually starts with a thesis, but its focus is more on supporting one side.
Another way these essays differ is in the source they may come from. newspaper articles would be better used with argumentative essays because newspaper articles often convey opinion or bias, sometimes discreetly and sometimes openly. Editorials are good for for explanatory essays because they often convey unbiased information, along with opinion. but even though a source will usually be better used with one type of essay, it will still most likely contain elements of both explanation and argument.
Explanatory essays define and explain key concepts without taking a position. argumentative essays do take a specific position and are meant to be persuasive. its main purpose is to convey a point of view regarding the topic. but many scholars of writing say that these two types of essays overlap eachother. they say that all writing is essentially persuasive, even if it doesnt enter into a complex argument. an informative piece must also work to persuade the reader that its claims are truthful. and then on the other hand, in order to persuade others of a particular position, we typically must also inform them about it. Writers say the key is to just focus on the primary purpose of the paper.
