Manifesto

On Thursday, we were given the assignment to look up the word "manifesto" and write one of our own. Of course, I was not too excited about this assignment because I did not know what a manifesto was, and I figured it was not going to be that easy. What exactly is a manifesto? A manifesto is a public declaration of intentions, opinions, objectives, or motives, as one issued by a government, sovereign, or organization. It basically states what a person believes in and what a person wants to get out of life. As I researched more on the word manifesto, I came across some famous ones. One of the most famous manifestos is The Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence states the United States of America's freedom from Great Britain. "The Declaration isconsidered to be the founding document of the United States ofAmerica, where July 4 is celebrated as Independence Day and thenation's birthday (Wikipedia)." This document states that everyone has the same rights. Dr. Seuss once said "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." I love this quote. I believe that you should not try to be someone you are not. It will get you nowhere in life. If someone does not like you for who you are, then you don't need them in your life (as mean as that sounds..we all know it's true... am I right?). I also believe that everything happens for a reason and noone can help it. I believe that you were given your life you have because you are strong enough to live it. We all know that life is like a roller-coaster, it has its ups and downs, but you just have to get over it and move on, because life is way to short to take anything for granted. I believe that you should live each day to the fullest, because you never know what the next day will bring. I also believe that noone should ever judge you on the mistakes you have made. No one is perfect, in fact, I believe that everyone is far from it. I do speak my mind and I am not afraid of what people think about me. That is one thing that does make me who I am. My family and my friends are my backbone. I have the most amazing family ever, without them I honestly would be nothing. They are the ones who have brought me up to who I am today and who have taught me to not let anyone bring you down. My dad is my hero. I look up to him so much and hopefully when my day comes to get married my husband will be a great father like mine. I am a daddy's girl, but I am not spoiled by no means. My friends mean everything to me. I love my true friends, without them I would be nothing as well. I am grateful to have not gone through the pain of losing someone very close to my heart in awhile. I honestly have no idea what I would do. I believe that Jesus Christ is my savior. I'm a very outgoing, friendly, lovable person. I am not shy at all. I believe that you should never judge a book by it's cover. You should always get to know someone before putting a label on them. I always try my best to treat people that way I want to be treated. I am very talkative person, and will talk to you about anything and everything. I can talk for hours to someone about pointless stuff. I really think I'm ADD and most of my friends would agree. I am very random, but again that's a little something of what makes me who I am. My goal in life is to be a teacher, which is currently my major and to be a mother. I love my major because I enjoy working with kids. My major is elementary education. It's a privilege to know you have impacted a student's life. I tutored a student last semester at campus school and it was an honor to watch the student grow in his subjects. I can't wait to become a teacher when I graduate. Another goal of mine is to have a family of my own in about five years and maybe eventually be a stay at home mom. I wouldn't mind being a dance teacher on the side (more than I am now). My grandmother owns a dance studio and I have grown up around dance my whole life. I have also taken dance for 18 years now, and it's something I love to do and something I enjoy. Well hopefully after reading this you have come to know alittle bit about me. I'm just a normal nineteen year old college student living my own life! =)
