Enzo

   It might sound odd to say that I found myself relating most to a dog in the story. Though Enzo is no ordinary canine, he describes himself as a human trapped in a dog’s body just waiting for his day to become reincarnated as a man. However that is not how I relate myself to Enzo. Who would pick being a man over a woman is clearly misguided, but that is beside the point. There is so many humanly traits about Enzo that anyone could relate to. Enzo knows his role and his duty in life and that is something that I believe everyone can find in their selves. Although life as a dog may seem a whole lot simpler that a human life in the end I think that we could learn from animals in that way. I and Enzo are similar because often Enzo has a lot of in depth points about life but no one can understand him so his points go unheard. Being a young adult I find myself often going unheard simply because of my age. As do many people of my generation and younger. Frustrated some of us lash out in ways people don’t fully understand. Much like a frustrated dog who is just trying to get his views heard. If all people shared Enzo’s quality’s I believe the world would be a much better place. People wouldn’t go unheard and feelings would not go unsaid. I also believe that the world would be a kinder, more compassionate place if everyone shared a dog’s unconditional love for something and rejoice in the simplest things in life. That is something I would love to share with Enzo.

beautiful creatures post

The story that I am reading has already captured my attention and intrigued my imagination. From about twenty pages in the novel “Beautiful Creatures.” has had me hanging with suspense. Making every silent reading session feel that much shorter, and way harder to close the book. Currently I am at the section in the book where each page does nothing but leave me more frustrated than the last.  Left with question after question where nothing is adding up yet. Though baffled this is what I enjoy most about reading this style of book. It’s the hook for me because it makes me ponder on what is going to happen subconsciously throughout the day. I would defiantly recommend this book to my friends and family who are down for captivating but long book because it would defiantly take a few weeks at least to make it to the end. The person specifically that I would recommend this book to would be my mom. Me and my mom always share books and she loves my recomendations. Also I would recomend this series to people who are down for a good long read because all books regarding this series are about 500 pages so if your looking for a quick read you might want to look else where. Although only a small ways into this book I have enjoyed it very much and I cant wait to see what happens in the end.

Who am I paragraph


To most I am a typical teenage girl. Spending time with my friends or my boyfriend occasionally. Nothing out of the ordinary. However, like everyone there is more than meets the eye. When I am not at school most of my free time is spent at my dance studio taking classes for hours daily. In the past this has proved challenging to balance my social life, school life, and dance life. But at this time I seem to have figured out a pretty good system that usually will keep everyone happy. Why do I go through all this trouble just for a hobby? For me dance is more than just a hobby, it has consumed me and every inch of my life no matter what goes on dance will come first. My dream is to become a professional contemporary dancer someday and I work my life around it so that I might have a chance in the extremely competitive business. As a dancer you don’t make very much money and your way of life is considerably different than those perusing traditional careers. That makes no difference to me though; as long as I am doing something that I love I will be happy. It doesn’t even matter in what way I become involved in the dance world as long as I am involved. Next year I will be attending a professional dance training program in Winnipeg taking me one step closer to my dream. Although becoming accepted into the school for contemporary dancers was thrilling for me, it was not my first choice in school. But it was attainable, and being declined from my first choice of school only makes me push myself even harder in the classroom and out. Part of me is happy that I was declined because if I wasn’t I might not be as strong of a dancer that I am currently. Everyone needs a kick in the butt sometimes and I am glad mine came early enough for me to change my habits and carry on the best I can. Though I am nervous about graduation and moving away I am also ecstatic to start moving forward with my life the way that I want to live.
