Reaction to Jake's Biography - My initial reaction and thoughts is that he set up the girls to be successful and really have their lives together so it makes me think that Jake is a really positive person. You could also read into it and say that he sees the best in people even if they don't see it themselves. I can't say these things for sure but from what I read that is just my initial reaction and how I personally read into it.

I'm out and about seeing trees and leaves scattered all over the ground. The tree to my right reminds me of the letter Y. I have always liked fall because it is when the leaves start to change color. The leaves make me happy to see how they change and it reminds me of how we all must change at some point. The tree on my left makes me depressed the way it leans.

I think that I would stay the same way I am because I don't exactly believe in most of the things that my Dads country of origin believes in. My dad was born in Brazil and he left me when I was 2 years old and I actually always think about how I would have been different if he had stayed in my life and put his cultures views upon me. I would for one speak portugeuse which wouldn't be so bad, but their beliefs are really what conflict with me. The way that they treat women to me would honestly be nice to have a woman do everything in the household for me but morally I don't believe that that is right. They also have a certain survivalist mentality where it is survivial of the fittest and honestly there is a time for that type of thinking but they take it to the point of death in their country and I cannot stand for that. On my 18th birthday was when it really hit me and I asked myself what if I was this alternate person and I became very emotional even thinking about it because all the years of being mad at my dad and him leaving went away because I am happy with who I am now and even though it was tough it was probably for the better because in the end I am a better person this way.
