Hills like white elephants (gift I didnt want)
I have received a gift i didn't want. I was in kindergarten and this girl named Fat Head Jasmine bought me a book I already had. It was a Barney book that I had hated when my mom got it for me. I was really upset because I did not like the book and I had already had it. When I was little I was a mean kid. I yelled at her for buying it for me when I already had it. I told her it was a dumb present and I didn't want it. I gave it back to her. She cried at my birthday party and I got in trouble for being inconsiderate to her and I had to keep the book anyway.

Hills like White Elephants
I think that this story, Hills Like White Elephants, is about a girl who is pregnant. The hills represent her sexuality. I think that she is trying to decide weather or not to keep the child. I feel like the man and the girl are young and the child is causing them stress in their relationship. I think this because when they are talking about the operation he says that after it they will be fine just like they were before. When they are talking about the operation i think they are talking about an abortion. I think that the guy is worried about the girl going through with this decision, knowing that it can not be changed once it is done.

What impact Do I want to have on the world Around Me?
I want to have a big impact on my family and society. I want to be the first one in my family to graduate a four year college. I want to be able to help my family financially as my parents get older and retire, and be able to be a positive role model for my younger cousins. I want to give back to my community when I get older. I want to volunteer and help out at community events. I want to be known in my community and not just there.

Who Do I want to become?
After I graduate high school I want to help children. However, I do not want to be a teacher or a pediatrician. I want to major in psychology and minor in art. I want to become an art therapist. I want to eventually have my own practice. I feel as though art is a major way of expressing yourself and the way that you are feeling. Art has impacted me in a major way throughout my life and I feel as though it will help others also. I want to help children that have had a hard or tough life.
