The big step!!

The Big Step!

                                       May 25 ,2018 i remember it like it was yesterday it was was our last day of school 2 weeks before graduation i think but i had drove home that evening and i as soon as i walked into my house my parents were waiting for me at the kitchen table. The first thing that they had said was “ Its time to move out Gabriella” i shocked that they even said that i replied back with a “WHAT!!!”.In my head i was like well dang they are trying to get rid of me but why now i asked. My mom told me that if left now it wouldnt be hard after graduation which she did have a point so i did. I moved to college station the next day with my cousin sarah and it was whole new chapter starting for me really ealry but i was ready. I was scared during the first couple of weeks i was nervous about everything it was like “wow i have a lil bit of freedom” Honestly i stilled called my parents to go places and i really dont know why. So as months passed by i got used to things and started acting more free and exicited about things I was even ready for school to start and thats shocking because i hate school so much.Then “BOOM” school started and August 27,2018 i got all dressed up for the first day of school i was so ready to start this next chapter in life with college. So far its not bad i like some of my classes except for one and that my education course im not a big fan of it the reason  i guess its because its not exciting to me. I enjoy my read class and math and i uselly hate math but i dont know and i dislike reading so much but now im starting to enjoy it. Ive made alot of new friends other than my classmates that go here to blinn and im actually really suprised that i made new friends. But i just had my first major EXAM in my reading class and honestly i feel like it was insane and crazy i wasnt really ready for it but im pretty sure that i did really good on it. I made some good note for that test so that i Knew that i would be able to pass this test. So yeah i honestly love it here in college station theres alot things to do here and more opportunities for me and im ready to see what college life has in store for me. Trust me i still have alot to learne but i still have time to make mistakes and learne form them blinn has alot to offer me and im excited to see how far i go in collge i plan to go really far and get to my goal like i intend to go. Good luck to me for the rest of the semester!!!

Gabriella Henry this is who i am?

About ME!

I am Gabriella Alisa Henry and I am 19 years old I graduate in 2018 and was a dancer for all 4 years of high school and half of my life basically but yeah im attending blinn and planning on going to ATM soon i hope.I grew up in a small town called Hearne, Tx and went to school in Franklin, Tx. Hearne is 45 minutes away from college station Hearne wasn't a bad town its actually a cute lil town and i enjoyed it alot everyone knew each other, got along and we all just grew up together and had each others back. Honestly Hearne really doesn't have that much history that i know of so i really can't say much about it. My mom and dad are the most important people they took me in a gave me a home when i needed one as well as them teaching me everything that i know. My parents mean the world to me without them I wouldn't be the strong and independent woman that i am today, they have always been on my case with everything with school,dance and work I love them very much for that. Them pushing me like they did I  wouldn't have gotten me here to this level of my life.They are the reason why i wanted to attend college so picked blinn i wanna be the best that i can be and try my hardest in every class and being able to transfer to Aggieland “whoop” i wanna be able to get my degree in sociology and become a caseworker and couples build a strong family for them. My hobbies I enjoy dancing,spending time with family and friends, love to draw random things and write in my dairy sometimes when i have deep thoughts and i just wanna write it out. These are the things that i enjoy the most they make me happy and relaxed and i love it. So i think the most surprising thing about me would be that i am adopted but that no one can tell that i am because i look exactly like my mom and dad. Now if you look at my other siblings you can tell they are i was adopted at the age 8 and i went through alot of stuff that (i won't mention in this paper) . Honestly i can say that i have been through alot and still manage to get through all this in life that happening to me and say that i overcame a lot since i was 8. I jumped around from house to house until my amazing mom and dad took me and my lil brother in to there house so that me and him could stay together, beause at first they were going to seperate us but my parents wanted to keep us together. Things got tough for us bacuse it was hard for us to really get used to everthing that i was going on. So this is a lil bit about me!

David Brooks takes the dub!

David Brooks the delivers his message very successfully he say that being online can be good and bad for you. Brooks says that "Being online can be like being part of the greatest cocktail party ever and it is going on all the time". Meaning that being online can be outstanding in many ways like, you can chat with anyone online and also get other people's opinions at anytime so that's the good benefits from it. Also you have to think about it yes being online with friends can be good but it can turn bad if drama is involved then the internet can be used in a bad way.  Brooks also says that “I know some people who are relaxed and their best selves only when online since they feel more in control of the communication they are more communicative, vulnerable, and carefree”. So that's saying that when doing this the person feels more comfortable talking online rather than being in person. Some people can be fake online too and that's not good because what if the person wants to meet the person in real life well they can't do that because that person wouldn't be able to so that's the bad part of it. My last one example will be this one “ online life is so delicious because it is socializing with almost no friction”. Meaning being online can be so good because it can teach you things you never know but, that's why it can be good for you. Also it can it can have its flaws big time being online can be horrible for you because it could destroy your confidence pretty bad. Its like you can say one thing and someone can turn it into something pretty bad. This why i think David Brooks wrote this paper really very well he is well explanatory with his information
