Cara Willis is one of my closet friends. Today my group of friends has decided to surprise her with a little get together. Birthdays to me are a big deal because that's the day one gets the opportunity celebrate life. Life is something that we all take for granted. The reason why it was so is something that I cherish is because I was in a serious car accident my senior year in high school. I totaled the car I was in as well as did some serious body damage on the other car. I remember getting my god sister and my little brother out of the car before my car exploded. By the grace of God, the car didn’t; however, the car was very smoky. During the mist of the car wreck, I literally saw my life past before my eyes. I knew that very moment will be were my short lived life will ended. I began to see the “White light”. It was then that I vowed that I would no longer take my life for granted. I have stopped putting off things until tomorrow. I have chosen to live my life like it’s my last. Each new day I take as a blessing from God because I know he is the very reason why I am in existence today. I wasn’t so perfect that I am guaranteed a second chance, but he so fit to allow me a second chance. So now I have a new found philosophy “Laissez les bons temps rouler” “Let the good times roll”!!!!

Hybrid vs Traditional

In a Hybrid class one has more responsible. The assignments are similar to a traditional class with an exception that most are submitted on the web. Personally, upon registering for this class I had no knowledge as to what I was getting into. If I had the opportunity to register for a traditional class I would because, for me it’s a little irritating remembering to submit an assignment at a specific time. Blogging is becoming a component of the class. I do not particular care for this element of the class because if feel like my thoughts are exactly that “MY THOUGHTS”. I really do not care for people to know how I feel about an aspect of the class.  All in all the class is a new experience. 

My personal style of writing

Earnest Hemingway once stated “There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”  In this quote, Earnest Hemingway believed that one should take a nonchalant approach to writing. One simply should sit down and write what he or she feels.  Personally, my writing style is reflective of my day. Today I have been in a very calm and lethargic mood.  One might notice that my sentences are very boring and straight to the point; however, if I am excited there will be exclamation points. If, I am angry my choice of words if very harsh and strong.  In my writing, I am free to say what and however I feel. The freedom of the page is what I love ever so dearly. I know that a blank page will never desert me, hurt me, or cheat on me. Writing is my passion. I thirst for the freedom to express myself. 

Writing is a way to express myself when I cannot verbally express myself. I love writing; however, the pre work is a little difficult. Brainstorming is the biggest problem I have. How and where to begin is a problem too. Why must writing be so difficult?
