Top 5 role models in my life.

1. My mom: I look up to my mom for many reasons. She has always been not only my mom but also my father figure my whole life. She is my best friend in the whole world and I know I can talk to her about anything. We have had our differences but at the end of the day I will always love her. One day I hope to have the same relationship with my daughter.
2. My friend Kayla: Just like me Kayla had a baby young. Times were rough for her and her boyfriends relationship but they made it through it. They are now married and just celebrated their one year anniversary. I know that I will never be back together with my daughters father, but I hope to find the right guy and make it through the obsticles together.
3. My grandma: My grandpa died a couple of years ago now and it was the hardest thing for my grandma. Even though times were tough she tried her hardest to stay strong. Her plans her day around activities to keep her busy and keep her mind off of the negative things in life. I hope to be a strong woman like my grandma in life.
4. My stepdad: He came into my life when I was about 6 years old. He stepped up and took over the dad role. My dad has never really been in my life, so he fixed the missing part in my life. To this day he is still here for me. He treats and loves me no differently than he would if I was his own. I think its tough for a guy to come into a broken family and be able to step up and help out where things were once missing.
5. All single moms: Sometimes guys aren't so they seem to be and don't stick around once a baby is in the picture. I think it's amazing that woman can take control and make life work without having to rely on a man.

My Christmas List

I feel like since I have Madalynne people will just get me like basic supplies for her as my present. Some of the things that I want for myself include:

• New Laptop
• GPS for my car
• New tie blankie
• New curling iron
• Hair extensions
• Nail polish - All colors, especially pink :)
• Money to help towards my car payment
• Babysitter for New Years Eve
• Happy Holiday Season

None of these things honestly matter to me. I would really just like a non-drama filled Christmas, surrounded by friends and family. Surprises make me super nervous so the gifts that come along with Christmas aren't enjoyable to me. I usually know most of the things I am getting to reduce stress. I would be perfectly fine with no presents this year as long as Madalynne has a good first Christmas.

How I plan to get 130 hours this grading period.

This grading period I don't just want to make the required 130 hours. I only have 199 hours left before graduation. I've set a very high goal for myself that I want to have my remaining 199 hours completed by Friday, December 16th. My reasoning behind that date is because my 18th birthday is the following Monday and I would like to not have to come to school or work that day. I've made a plan of attack in order to try to fulfill my hopes.

1. English: Finish Grad Doc. to finish credit.
2. U.S. History: Get to 25% on semester E2020.
3. Government: Finish E2020s and court case researches.
4. Economy: Finish E2020s.
5. Art: Post 4-6 new posts to my blog.

Succeeding in all these would mean graduation. :)
