Let me tell you what I did last August. I took a short trip to Arkansas this weekend to see my parents. I left right after school on Friday. It took 9 hours to get to the small town where I was raised as a child. The reason for the trip was my 10 year reunion for high school. I also moved more of my stuff back with me. The reunion was saturday at a club called Varsity Grill. To get ready for the event I went to get a haircut and highlights. I also got a neutral outfit together, not to fancy a...

I have several different identities: such as student, sister, daughter, and aunt. I love being all of those identities, but some are harder than others. Like for instant, being a student can be hard, especially after being out of school 10 years. I just now started back to school after being in the work force 10 years.

Your teacher is there to help you with any problems you are having. If someone starts bullying you tell a teacher. Friends are always nice to have around. You make and loose new friends daily, so d...

I decided after 10 years in the work force I would return to school. It was not a hard decision to make because I had already made up my mind about it. It was however hard to quite my job of 10 years and leave my work family. I had to give up alot just so I would get to go to school. I had to give up a steady paycheck, health insurance, and putting money into my 401K plan. I had to convince myself to do this by quitting work without thinking about the consequences, and by moving out of state ...

My inner critic is always there waiting to emerge and cause problems for me. She always seems to speak her mind about anything that is bothering her about me, or if I've done something wrong. When my inner critic comes out she is sarcastic, alundt, and moody. She's always there to tell me how stupid, lazy, and what a big baby I am. In some instancess, she is there to calm me down and encourage me when I need it. She can be funny at times and make me cry at others. Sometimes I listen to her, b...
