I have never had a blog before, so I don't quite know what to say...
I guess I will start with my favorite things.
1. Family
    My family has always been there for me and helped me to get where I am today. I owe everything to my family!

2. Wonderful Friends/Roommates
     I don't know where I would be without my friends! Family is wonderful, but friends have become an extension of my family that help me when and where my family cannot.

3. Books
    Where would society be without books? Books have been the inspiration for movies, plays, music, major inventions, and the creation of many a nation, like the US. There are myriad books to choose from covering a variety of subjects and genres. There is something for everyone, regardless of age, sex, race, citizenship, etc. Within books, one can find an escape from the everyday mundane life and travel to Hogwarts, Narnia, Paris, Egypt, Spain, and anywhere else one desires to go.

4. School
    The fondation for all greatness. Everyone who has ever done something great has been educated to some degree, whether it be a Ph.D., a M.D., or maybe not any more than 3rd grade. There was still a level of education. As a future teacher, I see the need for better education and educators to help shape/guide the minds of the future.

5. Music
    Not a day has passed when I am not moved/influenced by some kind of music, for good or for bad. Classical/piano music has a special place in my heart, as I am a piano player (haven't played for quite some time, however). Piano music is able to touch me in ways that other methods cannot. I also love Country music, since I grew up in the heart of potato farm central. Although I didn't live there for too long, I still have fond memories of riding next to my dad in a giant John Deer tractor for hours on end and sharing lunch out of a round, flat Tupperware container. :-)

6. Movies
    I have a wide variety of movies that I enjoy. From Disney classics to horror/thriller movies like Paranormal Activity or the Haunting in Connecticut, I can find something to enjoy in every collection of movies. I enjoy the classics like The Princess Bride, Arsenic and Old Lace, Fiddler on the Roof, etc. and newer movies like Hop, Rio, Harry Potter, etc.
