future






hello everyone,
Sorry I don't update much anymore..I've been really busy.
So I'm taking psychology in school and I must admit that it is very interesting and I get really involved in the discussions that we have. It's great! anyway today we took a little survey about multiple intelligences. First we had to write down what classes we excel in and what we would like to be when we grow up and a couple other things...So for Classes that you excel in I put band and art hahahaha because I have really high grades in those classes...and for the future question, well I left that one blank...then we filled out these checklists, checking the statements that apply to us.
After tallying up the checkmarks my four highest were...

Interpersonal Intelligence which said this.. "This intelligence involves sensitivity to moods, temperament, and intentions. The ability to work well in groups and be an effective communicator with others. The ability to "read" people and have genuine empathy for others feelings, concerns and beliefs. This intelligence is often found in counselors, therapists, teachers, religious leaders, and politicians."

Visual/Spatial Intelligence.. "This intelligence involves skill in the visual arts such as painting, sculpting and drawing. The sense of sight and imagination is key, as is the ability to form mental images and pictures in the mind. This intelligence is often found in architects, graphic design artists, painters and sculptors."

Musical/Rythmic Intelligence.."This intelligence includes the ability to use rythmic and tonal patterns, and recognize differences in the human voice, instruments, and other sounds from the environment. This intelligence is often found in musicians, dance bands, composers, music teachers, and vocalists."

Bodily/Kinesthetic Intelligence.. "This intelligence involves the ability to use the body to express (dance), to play (sports) and to create (invent). The body knows things that the mind is only able to express through motion. This intelligence is often found in athletes, dancers, actors and inventors."

My areas of weakness where in logical/mathematical Intelligence which explains why I hate math sooo much!!! And Verbal/Linguistic Intelligence.

Well there you have it hahaha now the question is what career could include all these aspects?

The pictures are of some of the AP art projects I have been working on.

Corps Band

Well, today is Tueaday... Tuesdays are very very long days at the Hempstead corps..This morning started kinda rough for me...I set 4 alarms the night before to make sure that I would wake up and sure enough I either hit them all while I was asleep or they didn't go off. So I started the day off on "the wrong side of the bed." Afterschool I had a PSAT Class till 5. Then as soon as I walked home, I had to leave to go to the corps...I then taught Drama, THeory, gave an instrumental lesson, played in Junior Band, sung in the songsters, then the youth chorus and last but not least the senior band..now by the time band rolls along, I'm dead! And all through the rehearsal all I can think of is how much school work I have to do when I get home...haha now this sounds really bad like I'm complaining and well I shouldn't because after all its done right before my head hits the pillow (literally right before because as soon as it does, I'm out like a light!) I am blessed and gratful for the opportunity I have at the Hempstead corps...So during band we got the rest of our hallelujah choruses because well we had copying problems anyway we turned to "In Christ Alone." Silly me I thought that it was the cool upbeat one that Roofus sings then I looked at the top of the piece of music and it said thoughtfully 69 bpm...haha..I kinda laughed at myself...ANyway as were playing this piece we got to the final verse and its a key change and its at forte and man oh man it was amazing.. I could feel God in that chapel with us...so I took my copy home and decided to read the words to this song...what a GREAT TUNE! I think it's my new favorite ;) anway here are the words.. THEY ARE SO POWERFUL and Meaningful...

1. In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This Cornerstone, this solid ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease.
My comforter, my All in All,
Here in the love of Christ I stand.

2. In Christ alone, who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness,
Scorned by the ones He came to save.
'Til on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied.
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.

3. There in the ground His body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slainl
Then, bursting forth in glorious day,
Up from the grave He rose again!
And as he stands in vicotry,
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me;
For I am His and He is mine,
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

4. No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
can ever pluck me from His hand;
'Til he returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand!!

Ah I love it! :)
