A Moment To Rememberr**

I believe of all people, Frederick Douglass would be very honored to see this historical moment today, as our first African American man becomes president of the United States of America. The reason I conclude Frederick Douglass would be so privileged is because he was one of the first African American men to run for president and was the first to be nominated as a Vice President candidate, in the U.S., running on the Equal Rights Party. Douglass was also very firm believer of in the equality of all people whether black, female or Native American or recent immigrant. He was fond of saying, "I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong."

-Airbus A320;;

"You are one of the 155 passengers on board US Airways Airbus A320.  It's Thursday afternoon and your plane in pulling out onto the runway at LaGuardia Airport."

....................

Once I boarded the plane, I put away my things and tried to relax, because I am terrified of heights. So I put on my head phones, closed my eyes and laid back. The Captain announced lift off, so I took a very deep breath and shut my eyes tight. Right after lift off we were running smooth. About 5 or so minutes later we were flying right over the Hudson River. I had to look out the window adjacent to me to see the beautiful view. For some reason it looked like we were flying rather low. I recognized a few geese below but i thought nothing of them until a thundering roar from behind. And immediately after the Captain announced, "Brace for impact because we're going down." My heart dropped, I froze for a second then right away I started to pray. We started to go faster and faster towards the water, the hit was so intense. People around me started to grab some of their belongings, some were screaming like it was the end. We started to sink very slowly, but surely. A lot of people, including myself grabbed life jackets from the plane crew and went out onto the wings of the plane. About thirty minutes of waiting help finally came, and gladly to say, everyone on the plane was rescued.

"interesting!!!!"

Sadly, my freshman year so far has been pretty boring! However, I guess there are some interesting projects, or experiences I have had this year. This first semester I learned how to make cookies from scratch in Personal and Family Development, and our group made the best cookies. Something else that I guess is "interesting" are proofs! I LOVE math, but geometry makes me think twice...At the moment I am struggling to nail proofs, but I am working extremely hard on perfecting them.

*Wow! 10 years;

In ten years, I will be 25!!! By then I would have already played college basketball for 4 years, but I still have  about 3-4 more years of college, to become an awesome Dermatologist, or any type of surgeon. By now, if not already I would hope to be married to a very handsome man, ready to start a family of our own!! =]. I see my self in a cute house big enough for a family of 4, most likely not in Wellington. But I do want my *future* children to grow up in a town like Wellington, maybe just a little bigger. But for right now, I am going to try my hardest to get to where I want to go and live life to the fullest!!
