Favorite TV show/ My favorite Holiday

I am more of a reality TV person. I like reality shows like the real world, Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, or The Kardashians. I like those shows because they are real and not just people acting it out. Yes, I like fake/acted shows to like Ghost Hunters or George Lopez but I think reality shows are so much more interesting.

My favorite holiday would probably have to be Christmas. I don't like Christmas because of all the gifts, but I like it because no matter what, on Christmas all of our family always gets together. I get to see all my baby cousins and aunts/uncles. I'm really excited for this years Christmas because my sister and I are thinking about driving to Idaho to visit my three cousins and my favorite aunt instead of them coming here! I also like Christmas because we always make the best sweets in the world! My favorite would probably be the almond roca and choc brownies with this cream cheese stuff on top.

How do Junior & Rowdy look at the world differently?

Rowdy just kind of takes whatever he has and lives with it. He doesn't really try to accomplish things it seems. He just goes with the flow and beats people up to make himself feel better. While Junior wants a future and is moving forward by going to a bigger and better school instead of staying at the other school learning nothing pretty much. It seems like Rowdy feels like he doesn't really have anything coming for him and feels like life is nothing. Then there is Junior who feels like he can do stuff and wants to do stuff so he does the right thing and goes to school in a way different environment.

What I think the title Means

I think that the title is The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian because he goes to an Indian school, is half Indian, and he learns that they treated the Indians badly. The teacher ends up having a one on one talk with Junior and he prefers him to go to Reardan High because Junior is different than the others. I also think that it says Part-Time Indian because the first school he went to was full on Indians and the school he's going to now is completely opposite.

My Impressions of Life On the Reservation

If I were to live there then I don't think I'd like it. I think that it's messed up that they didn't treat the Indians very well. If I were an Indian then I would definitely do what he did and switch schools to go to the other one. I think that living in that town would be depressing and it'd make me mad just seeing and getting treated like dirt when all you're trying to do is attend school and get a good education. I don't think any kid deserves to get hurt or treated that way because kids are innocent and too young to understand what's going on.

What it'd be like to move away

I think I'd be weird and scary to move away from home. Some people say it's good to move on and move away from where you grew up but some people say it's better if you stay close to home and be around everything/everyone you grew up around. I actually plan to move to Vegas in the future. I plan to go to college to become an ultra sound tech. Then once I'm done with that I plan to move to Vegas, continue doing that but on the weekend I wanna be a party promoter. If I change my mind about being a party promoter then I might think about moving to Boise, Idaho to be near my baby cousins and my favorite aunt. To move away from my home town would be really scary. I'd be around people I didn't know. I would most likely get home sick at some point. I would have to meet new people which is very nerve wracking. Then again it'd also be pretty cool because it'd be a fresh start.

During my Break/About School

The whole time I wasn't here I pretty much ran errands with my sister all the time. I also helped out with my parents because stuff was going on with the shop but now my dad is opening another shop in Scio which is way exciting! I was also job hunting. I found this place called Plato's Closet and I'll hopefully be getting a job there. Plato's Closet is pretty much a clothing store that takes name brand clothes that are barely worn and sells them. It's a pretty decent store and has cute name brand clothes :). I got into some trouble in the past that makes me not able to get my license till I'm either seventeen or eighteen but I'm seventeen now so hopefully I can get it. If I can get my license then I'm gonna help my dad drive cars to and from the shop and it'll be easier because I won't have to depend on my parents for a ride to school/work everyday. I pretty much stopped coming because a lot of stuff was going on and I started slacking but now I'm ready to settle down, quit slacking, and get the job done. It sucks because I love coming here in the morning when not too many people are here because noise distracts me but then again I hate waking up so early in the morning because I'm definitely not a morning person. I love sleep! I always tell myself that it's just an hour and a half and then I get to go home. So it kinda helps motivate me to go!
