Dream Job

People now-a-days believe that it is important that you have to do some kind of schooling in order to get you dream job. I think that it depends in what you are interested in. If you are a talented person who can sing, or act than I don't believe that you have to go to school necessarily to do that sort of job. Although when some celebrities see other people trying to make it big on American Idol, or Canadian Idol, they think why do they get the easy way out. Some artists like Avril Lavigne, or Taylor Swift, any of those young BIG celebrities, who had worked their butts off to get to where they are today, than there are others who just go on some talent show, and make it big. I do believe though, that those people like Kalan Porter, and Kelly Clarkson, have a different type of fame, I believe that they are a little less respected than the people like Johnny Cash, because they DIDN'T have to work so hard. Although there are the people like Fantasia Burrino, who needed American Idol to get her through the difficult times with her and her baby. Now that she had won she made a movie, recorded a couple of C.D's and is doing well. The people who need it the most are the ones that I root for on those types of shows. Therefore, back to reality, I am going to have to put thousands of dollars into schooling to do what I have always dreamed of. I want to be a Child Psychologist. I am going to be attending Okanagan College here for 2 years to get my Associates of Arts Degree, than go to UBCO to get my Bachelors of Arts Degree in Psychology. I have wanted to do this since I was around the age of 12 when i watched the movie Gothika. Funny I know, but there is a psychologist in the movie, and her job seemed really interesting. Although I would not be interested in working with somebody who claims she has the devil in her - not my gig. I believe that it is important to be compassionate about your job, and I think you should love what you do. Anybody who doesn't like there job, makes everybody elses lives so much more miserable. I actually don't know anybody who likes their job besides my dad. He is a Truck Driver, and he is a work-a-holic, and he just destroyed his relationship with his family, so sometimes its not always for the best.

Mitch Albom- "Tuesdays With Morrie"

This is Mitch Albom. He is the author who wrote the novel "Tuesdays With Morrie". Mitch Albom is actually featured in the novel as one of the main characters. Mitch's original goal in life was to be a musician, but while he was living in New York, he discovered that he was interested in jounalism. To help pay for his tuition at his University, he worked with a sports magazine, and played the piano at some of the night clubs. Mitch began to be interested in sports writing while he was working with the sports magazine.A couple years later Mitch's breakthrough novel was "Tuesdays With Morrie". Nobody actually wanted to publish this book, until Doubleday ( a publishing company ) fulfilled Mitch's wishes and published the book, and this helped pay off Mitch's tuition fees. "Tuesdays with Morrie" slowly climbed to number one after 6 months, and now there is going to be a movie based on this book. It should be a good one, if its anything like the book.

"Tuesdays With Morrie" Synthesising "The Human Touch"

"The Human Touch"

'Tis the human touch in this world that counts,

The touch of your hand and mine,

Which means far more to the fainting heart

Than shelter and breand and wine;

For shelter is gone when the night is o'er,

And bread lasts only a day,

But the touch of the hand and the sound of the voice

Sing on in the soul alway.

Both the poem "The Human Touch" written by Spencer Michael Free, and the novel "Tuesdays With Morrie" written by Mitch Albom, both tend to deal with the impact people can make on others. Spencer Michael Free emphasis's " 'Tis the human touch in this world that counts, The touch of your hand and mine..." In the novel "Tuesdays With Morrie", Morrie is a very remarkable person. Everyone who meets Morrie, can't help but be touched by him. Once Morrie had passed away, he left his legacy behind. Anyone who knew Morrie will remember him for who he was, and what he had done. Morrie was never anyone but himself. He was a very compassionate person.

When Morrie was growing up he was living a devastating hard life, which is hard to believe considering how is personality is now. Morrie grew up with a single father, because his mother passed away at a young age, and his family was very poor, and having to work extremely hard, and get only little pay. While in "The Human Touch" poem, Spencer highlights " Which means far more to the fainting heart, than shelter bread and wine..." This is explaining the fact that even though Morrie has gone through all of this misery in his youth, he still is a giving person, more than a taking one. He has always gives more than takes, and this is what he is trying to tell Mitch throughout the whole book. You don't need the newest blackberry, or a huge mansion, for everyone to love you. It is the person you are everyone falls in love with. Morrie has none of those things, and he is loved by everyone he meets.

At the end of the novel "Tuesdays With Morrie", Morrie finally gets to Mitch's heart and gets Mitch to start making some changes in his life. For a example, after Morrie had died, Mitch picks up the phone and calls his brother that he hasn't talked to in ages. Mitch and his brother had become very distant after his brother was diagnosed with cancer, and moved to Spain. Morrie had touched Mitch the first day they met in University, but Morrie had grabbed Mitch's' soul when they got back in touch again. Spencer Michael Free discusses " But the touch of the hand and the sound of the voice, Sing on in the soul alway". Comparing this quote to the novel basically describes everything that Morrie had done for Mitch. Mitch had grabbed Morrie's' hand and Morrie had guided Mitch back into the right direction. Morrie's' soul still remains here.

One Tree Hill Review

One Tree Hill is a telvision series that is on every Monday night on the TLC network. It is 6 seasons in, and every season has something more to give. Now One Tree Hill isn't one of those shows like The Hills, or The O.C, where everyone is sleeping with everyone, and everyone is crying because their daddy took away their 90.000 dollar car, it is more than that. This show is a relateable, heart-warming, series that keeps you hooked on every episode. It deals with issues like love, death, family, and friends. The main characters of the show are Lucas Scott, who is played my Chad Michael Murrey who you may also know from the movie House of Wax, or the new Freaky Friday. He is a highschool student who lives with his mom, and his best friend is Haley James, who is played by Bethany Joy Galeotti. Than there is Brooke Davis who in the beginning has a crush on Lucas Scott. Brooke Davis is played by Sophia Bush, who you may also know from the House of Wax Film, or the 2008 movie The Hitcher. Brooke Davis is best friends with Peyton Sawyer who is played by Hilarie Burton. Hilarie Burton has made her debut on One Tree Hill and she is doing fantastic. All of these people are what makes the show so great. They are all phenomonal at what they do, and every emotion that they feel you can't help but feel the same way. One Tree Hill isn't just great because of the great acting, and great topics. The show also has an awesome soundtrack. The soundtrack includes people like Gavin Degraw, Jimmy Eat World, Dashboard Confessional, and Sarah Mclachlan. The show has won many awards on thins like The Teen Choice Awards, and MTV Music Awards. Even after 6 seasons the show is still going strong, and it still contains all of the same people in it. There isn't even really a bad thing about this show, besides the fact that it only plays once a week, and when a season ends it is off for more than a few months. Overall if you haven't seen the show, or watched a whole season you are truly missing out. Next monday flick the channel to 61 and see what you think of it. You won't be dissapointed.

"The Lottery", and "Pearls of Indifference"

I am sure there has been a time in where you have seen injustice, and you couldn't or do anything about it.
In relation to "The Lottery" near the end of the story, concept of the story was every year it was a tradition to pull papers out of a black box and it would say someones name, and that person would get brutally stoned to death. "it isn't fair," she said A stone hit her on the side of the head." This case of injustice doesn't phase anyone because it is a tradition, and everyone is used to it, and everyone is capable to killing that person. Now this story was writtin a number of years ago, so it is quite a bit different to now a days, but this still happens in some areas.
You could also relate this to "Pearls of Indifference", people knew what was going on in the concentration camps, and they didn't do anything, but the people who were doing these horrible things thought that if anybody knew, they would stop them. When the leader of an army says you have to go fight in Iraq, they automatically do it, because they were told to, and they have to.
These people who do these acts of injustice are normally just normal people, they go home and sit down for dinner with their normal family, and talk about normal things, and after they have done all of these things, they can still go to sleep at night. Its truly a sick thing, but they don't know any better. They are just doing what they were told to do. This doesn't make it a excuse though, its just a reason i guess.

Top 3 Movies

It is extremely hard to choose only 3 of my favourite movies because I'am such a movie finatic. If I had to choose though, I would have to say they are...Armageddon, P.S. I Love You, and Enough. My reasoning for why I chose these movies are, they are all different genres, and they all have different meanings. Armageddon is a dramatic/tear-jerker movie, but it shows teamwork, love for one another, and what it is like to give your life for someone else. I can watch this movie over and over again, and cry everytime. Therefore, P.S I Love You is a movie that every girl would want to make their boyfriend watch. It is a extremely cute movie, although I dont want to give the movie away incase someone who is reading this, hasn't watched it yet, so maybe I should just stop here, and tell you to just go rent the movie, and have a box of kleenix right beside the couch. Lastly...Enough. Jennifer Lopez is the main actress in the film, and that pretty much explains everything. This movie is about a man who abuses his wife...and I think i like this movie so much because of the fact that I'am totally against this. Any sort of abuse should not be tolorated, and she reacts to this in an amazing way. This movie keeps you on your toes the whole time. I love it! This pretty much sums up my paragraph, and i reccommend that if you haven't saw these movies yet, what are you doing? Get on it!

Wouldn't it be nice if we all had superpowers...If I were to have any superpower in the world, it would have to be a power where I can have a double. I always find myself in positions where I don't want to do something, and I find myself saying "Man I wish I had a twin". I wish I had this power for things like, going up and speaking in front of people, or having a brilliant twin who can ace all of my exams, and tests for me. It would be so nice. Although if I had a twin who would do all of those things for me, than it would change the type of person I am. If you had somebody who would get you out of getting in trouble, or doing your tests, it wouldn't exactly make you a great person. You would more than likely be not a nice person, and make you dependent on them. It wouldn't be fair. So I am happy I don't have any superpowers, cause personally I don't think I am that bad of a person.
