Mission Statements :)

What are mission statements? Well, a mission statement is a short written statement of the purpose of a company or an organization. When someone is writing their mission statement, they should be inspired and have determination to accomplish it. Here are some examples of some mission statements by some companies. :) Starbucks: "We inspire and nurture the human spirit — one person, one cup, and one neighborhood at a time." What Starbucks wants to do is, make their customers happy by creating delicious coffee flavors and nurturing the customers. 


If you are interested in writing a mission statement for yourself, there are 5 simple steps.
Step 1: Identify past successes.
Step 2: Identify core values.
Step 3: Identify contributions.
Step 4:Identify goals( short term and long term).
Step 5: Write your mission statement. :)

Wellness, Health, and Fitness ! : )



Wellness is making the right health choices that can lead to a more successful existence. This also means being healthy and disease free. I really didn’t know what wellness meant, but in easier words, it means to make healthy decisions that benefit you. Some examples of different types of wellness are: physical wellness, spiritual wellness, emotional wellness, and environmental wellness.

Your health is VERY important. In order to keep your health in a good state, you have to eat your fruits and vegetable and be sure to take your vitamins. (: You have to take really good care of yourself, because if you don’t, it can lead to diseases and that can be very dangerous. Hygiene is a very important role for your health. You have to maintain your body clean because that is good for your health. Washing your hands is also important, because if you don’t wash your hands often, it can affect your body and you can get sick. Nobody likes getting sick! So, wash your hands before and after every meal J

Fitness is a MUST. Exercising can be tiring, but you have to do it because if there is no fitness, it can affect your wealth. Many people are involved in sports, which is great because that involves exercising and that improves your fitness level. Exercising can be fun! For example, there are some games for the Wii that are for exercising. “Just Dance” is a game that involves many dancing moves, and that is exercising. I think that children get more exercise than adults because the children play and run around in school and they also have physical education during school too J There are other things I could say about wellness, health, and fitness, and all you have to do is choose the right! :p

Unique Piercings :)

There are many different type of piercings . The most common ones are on the ear or nose, but there are some that I have never heard of which are very interesting..and weird. There's the "cheek piercing" which is also called the dimple piercing. It's located right in the middle of the cheek, as if you had a dimple.
Another piercing that many people get is a dermal anchor hand piercing. This piercing can be anywhere in the hand or in the fingers. Many couples get this piercing on their marriage finger, showing how much love they have for each other.

In my opinion, these piercings are so weird.. they may be popular, but I wouldn't get these piercings. It's definitely NOT my style. :)

My Hobbies (:

I like to do many things to pass the time. One of my hobbies is watching television and movies. Oh, a movie that I want to see right now is Never Say Never 3d!! Haha :p One of my favorite movies is Titanic. I really like that movie because it has a good story to it, but I don’t really like seeing the end because it makes me tear up a little -_-. I may be in high school, but one thing I’m always going to love is watching cartoons :p Sometimes my little sister asks me to watch Spongebob with her and I do. (: I think that my most favorite hobby of all, is listening to music. If I’m in a bad mood, listening to Chris Brown’s music always puts me in a better mood and makes my day. Another one of my interests is reading. Many people may think that reading is boring, but I really enjoy it. Mostly, I read mystery books because they’re really entertaining. When I have nothing to do, I go shopping. My favorite store is Forever 21<3 If I go into that store, I will stay there for a very long time! I absolutely love that store because they have cute accessories and sometimes they have sales which is even better for me. One thing I want to learn, is how to play piano. I know that’s going to take a lot of work, and that’s why I practice almost every day. Another hobby of mine is cooking. There’s many cook books in my house, and I always look through them because I like learning how to make new dishes. I really like Italian food, so that’s one thing I try to cook ☺ I also like watching basketball games. I try to play basketball, but I’m not good at it. My favorite team is the LAKERS(:

Tyler Haws: Mr.Basketball (:

Tyler has played in his high school basketball team for a while, and he has led them to two state titles and many wins. After a while, he decided to play or for BYU: Brigham Young University. He has been named Mr. Basketball twice, which is very impressing. He spent every morning with his dad, who also played for BYU when he was younger. Tyler practiced with his dad for two hours before he went to work, and that made his basketball skills better. Tyler worked together, and he worked very hard to get where he is now. Tyler is very successful because he chose the right and practiced every single day until he got better. He once made 143 free throws without missing one shot! All of this was possible because he worked hard. (:

Jason McElwain :)

Jason was diagnosed with autism, and his dream was to play in a basketball game. He was the high school basketball manager, and he would always be in the school gym, practicing his basketball skills. When there was a basketball game at school, Jason finally got the chance to play in the game. He made many points, and at the end of the game he was the top scorer. Many people were so proud of him and he was proud of himself for not giving up on his dream. Like Jason said, "The sky is the limit. Give it all your effort to catch your dream, and never give up." That is really great advice, because it worked for Jason and it can work for anyone if they keep going and not give up on your dreams. (:

What does my name mean ?

So, I searched up my name to see what my name meant, and I found out that Brenda means sword, trusting, and extravagant. The origin where my name comes from is Scandinavian. Hmm, well that's interesting. (: I also decided to search up my middle name, which is Alicia. My middle name means truth or noble one. Alicia is the spanish version of Alice which is an English name. I searched my last name, but there weren't any results. -_- It's very interesting to find out what my name means, because I never thought that my name would mean a sword, which is kind of weird.. but coool at the same time :P
