I want my Mom to know that no matter what, I will always love her. I will always love her, and not just because she is my Mom. I believe that a Mom should not only be a Mom, but also a best friend and role model. My Mom is even more than that to me, she is my hero. I have always told her that she is my hero, and she is very well deserving of this title. She has been through so much in her life, and i am sure there's things I don't even know about. All of that is beside the point however, her being my hero has to do with what she has been through, how good of a mother she is, and who she is today. Even though she has been through a lot, she is a very great person today and continues to be. She would do anything and everything for somebody that needed help. She has always been that way, my Aunt is like that too. I believe its just the way they live their lives. Nobody is perfect, but they sure do all they can for the world. My Mom is a great person, not only to the world but to me. I hope when i grow up, that im at least half the woman that she is. One day when I have kids, I want to be their hero, just as my Mom is mine. We have had our struggles but I would say its just normal teenage daughter- mother issues. At the end of the day, we get past those and we have a good relationship. Last week I had my senior photo shoot. It was kind of bittersweet, but yet scary at the same time. The photo shoot went great but the thought of growing up kind of scares me. I'm really glad that my Mom and Aunt tagged along on my photo shoot with me and Amy Scott from RAARS Photography, Amy is a great photographer and im glad they got to share this great experience with me. The photo shoot really got me thinking about life though. Im going to be 18 in three short weeks. I will be "grown", that's scary. A lot of times us kids will talk about wanting to move out, and go away to college. As much as I want to do that, its scary, growing up is scary. I don't ever want to lose the relationship I have with my Mom, and we need to do more things like the photo shoot together so we don't lose our relationship. As we all grow up, we drift apart. You should never drift apart from you're hero....thanks for everything Mom. You truly are my hero.<3 Love you:)

This week in the google reader world
I was actually very surprised when i logged into my google account and saw all the useful information on it. I was beginning to think that I wouldn't have much to write on this blog post because I wasn't finding much useful information. Yahoo answers has actually been helpful and its nice to see different peoples opinion on racism and if it will always be around. I read something this week that really opened up my eyes about racism. A couple people on yahoo answers said some very insightful things this week. One of those was " Racism will always exist, and not, as the black nation says because of white people, but because all people are different." Its true, everyone is their own person and we are all very different people. Until the world accepts the fact that everyone is different then racism will exist. Another thing that i found insightful was, "So eliminating those who do not fit the ideal race profile will "fix" the issue. The problem is that racism even thou a matter of color is more of matter of discrimination. So even if we "fix" the race issue people will find something else to discriminate about (i.e. hair color, eye color, nose shape, height, nationality, etc)." This statement was very powerful to me and made me think about racism as a whole, a lot. There is no way to fix racism because a big part of racism is discrimination. Discrimination will always exist because someone will always have something to discriminate about. Unfortunately that's just how our society is and probably always will be. I didn't find much on breast cancer and its causes this week, but im going to look into it more for my next blog post.
Inquiry...
My Personal Inquiry Questions:
1) Will racism always exist?
2) What causes breast cancer?
Racism is something that, for as long as I can remember, has been around. Its all around you and you can never escape it. No matter where you live, racism exists there in one way or another. Many strides have been made since slavery days, as far as racism and prejudice, but they both still exist. I grew up in a small town in the middle of no where with not much diversity, but there was A LOT of racism there. It seems quite ironic that such a place has more racism then Urbana does. There is a lot more diversity here in Urbana then there is but yet the level of racism is much lower? Its actually quite intriguing to me. I would hope that eventually racism will be something of the past, seen in history text books. Racism is something I want to research and learn more about. Racism could eventually be ended, but like world peace, it will probaby never be achieved.
What causes breast cancer? Im sure a lot of people would like to know the answer to this question. I sure do. I've heard that many things can cause breast cancer but I don't know how much of it's true and how much of it's fiction. I personally want some answers and to see other peoples take on the subject. Blogs are a great research tool to see others take on the subject of breast cancer and its many causes. Hopefully, breast cancer will have a cure one day. A couple of my close relatives, my Mom and Grandma, have both had breast cancer. Luckily, they are both survivors!
