Very Peaceful and Pretty

Being in San Diego is one of the best spots in town that you could be at. Not only is the weather nice but the view is gorgeous. This picture was taken on the deck of a dorm at the University of San Diego. When I was there I really didn’t want to leave. The air smelled of fresh leaves and pine trees. It was so quiet and peaceful, you could hear birds and different creatures making there different sounds. The view was amazing. You could see for miles and miles and never get tired of looking for something different. The scenery right in front of you was even prettier then most places I had been that day. As you can see the trees leaves are purple. The purple trees were surrounded by different types of green trees. This made it all the more interesting. In Minnesota you hardly ever see trees with purple leaves like this unless its fall and still it’s very rare. This view made me happy and I wanted to experience more of San Diego because of this one view. Imagine waking up everyday to this view. Wouldn’t that be great? I know I would love it. This is one of the many reasons why I am applying for the University of San Diego in the fall!

Wow I'm amazed!


Wow I was just browsing the internet when I came across this fine site called Mariah Hero.com. It is a fan site that displays information about my life and my career. Most sites I come across I pay no attention to. But this one struck my eye because the first thing I saw was that the background was purple, and that is my favorite color. So I started reading the site and to my amazement almost every detail was factual.
It sort of made me sad reading about my biography, because that was a really hard time in my life, that I really don’t like to talk about much. It was really hard for me growing up with my parents so culturally and racially different. There were days I thought I would never make it through. But I learned from my dad and my mom that no matter the situation never give up.
So to see this site so accurate was great.
It made me smile when they mentioned Morgan and Alison. These are my siblings that most of the world no nothing about so it was nice for them to have recognition of some sort. Another thing I like were the pictures from all my different albums. It gives a better story when you can actually put a face to it. I was really pleased with this site. I wish others were like it! Here's the site go and check it out! http://www.mariahhero.com/biography.htm

# 1 Reflection



Panda Bears are very cute animals to me. This is why they are my favorite animal. For those of you who don’t know much about Panda Bears here’s a chance for you to learn more! Their Height for males and females is 29.5 inches at shoulders and 5 ft in length (with a 6 inch tail). They weigh around 250 lbs were as the females weigh around 220 lbs. Their lifespan is from 20 to 30 years. They like to eat a lot! Which I'm sure you all do as well. They eat staples bamboo, flowers, vines, tufted grasses, green corn, honey and rodents. They look very soft and cuddly but can become very mean. So if you see a Panda Bear your best bet is to stay your distance away!

Many of you probably have a favorite animal. Mine has been very apparent all my life, because my room is a panda bear theme. This is why I chose the picture above. Not only did I choose it because it's a Panda bear but it also shows character. I like how the Panda's image is reflected off the water. To me it seems so much more complex then just a normal picture of a Panda. It seems as if the Panda is trying to figure out who it is looking at them. As we as Americans do everyday. Try and figure out who we are and why. I like panda bears because they are so pretty and they look so innocent. If I could have any animal in the world the Panda would defiantly be my first choice. Sadly Panda Bears are endangered but maybe one day they will not be. If you could have any animal in the world what would you choose and why?
