3O Goals, #4 Leave it Behind - Stress

There are many ways I relieve stress in my life.

I have my little brother walk on my back to crack it.  After he gets off my back it feels much better and I feel more relaxed than I did.

If something in my life is causing me stress I usually go to a friend for advice or to "vent".  I make sure I trust the person so that no one else will know about it.  I have friends that live close to me so sometimes I hang out with them and that usually gets my mind off what I'm stressed about.

Sometimes I go for walks.  The fresh air feels good in my lungs and it lets me clear my thoughts.  It's also great exercise if I stay out for a while.  There's also a park that's a twenty minute walk from my house so sometimes I go there too.

There are times when I might not be able to go out.  There are also times I can't get in contact with my friends or I don't feel like talking to anyone.  In that case I listen to my music very loudly whether it's on my iPod or off my laptop in my room.

If I get too stressed out I usually get headaches so I will take a nap in my room for a couple of hours.

3O Goals , # 29 Stay Focused

There are many ways I can try to stay focused to overcome my long term goals.

To lose weight I will try to eat more healthy and exercise more often.  I can exercise more by taking walks, doing exercises in my room, or trying to go to Planet Fitness more often.  I could go with my mom or with a friend.

Another goal I would like to overcome would be getting good grades for the last semester.  I would overcome this goal by studying and trying my best.  I would also have to do all of my homework that is assigned to me.  I could have a study buddy that could push me to do my work and vise versa.

3O Goal , #8 What's Your Personal Theme Song?

My personal theme song is "Love the Way You Lie" by Eminem and Rihanna.  I think this is my theme song because it's ironic in my life.  It's ironic because I'm usually lied to often but usually find out the truth.

3O Goal, #6 Google Alert

Yesterday I created a Google Alert.  So far I like the website and I find it interesting that I can see what people are searching for in relation to me. 

I realize that since I am still learning, that there may be a lot I still don't know.  I think the software would be great for people who are trying to be discovered over the internet.

( I wrote more the other day, but it disappeared.  It seems I had a mental block about what I wrote :/ )

3O Goal , #17 Tell Your Story

There are a couple moments of my life that I am most proud of.  The impact on my life that I'm most proud of is my cheerleading career.  I went to Orlando, Florida for the National Competition for five consecutive years.  My first year I competed in Florida my team came in fourth place.  The following year I came in second.  In 2007 I came in 1st place and won the Spirit Award.  That same year was the 20th annual National Competition held in Florida.  We were awarded with plaques, ribbons, and even a beautiful leather jacket.  The following two years I came in third place.

In my room I have every award I've won from cheerleading, so the shelves are pretty cluttered!

Cheerleading taught me that success comes with hard work.  I have experienced how great success has felt.  That's why I now coach younger girls so that one day maybe they can feel what I've felt.

3O Goals Goal #1 , Diary

Today I woke up a half hour late because I fell asleep on my cell phone. I got ready for school, but forgot my cell phone at home.  I called my mom on the bus and asked her to bring it.  At around 8 I picked up my cell phone.  During gym class, my second period, we had to run a mile.  I walked and did not finish the mile.  In geometry I had a quiz.  Web 2.O is my fourth period class so there's nothing more to write about..

Osama Bin Laden's Dead!

Most people would grieve over a loss but America is celebrating.  The man responsible for our countries pain inflicting terrorist attack, 9-11, was killed on May 1, 2011.  Personally, I think he deserved to die considering he took the lives of so many loved Americans. 

During 9-11 I was in kindergarten.  I don't remember anything about it, but my mom does.  She claims her friend called her while she was in the shower and told her to turn on the news.  I don't know anyone that was killed but citizens of my town have.

I find it annoying that he was living in luxury for ten years.  It surprises me that it took us 10 years to find him.  It also shocks me that no one killed him during the ten years.

It also shocks me to see soooo many people around the world celebrating his death.  Some are worried that his people are going to retaliate. There are many different stories about how he died.
