Why can’t ipods just use Windows Media Player? I am once again having problems with itunes. It won’t import CDs. In all my years using Windows Media I never once had an issue. But ever since getting this ipod for Christmas well, this is my third post. I should have just returned the thing and gotten an mp3 player that isn’t so screwed up. I wouldn’t have thought it was Apple itself but ever since seeing all the other posts complaining about Apple technology and using Macs in a class… APPLE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN. All I ever hear is problems, or this product sucks. I hear a lot of people all enthusiastic and I’m like you poor b*******. You haven’t been using Apple very long, have you? I’m a PC, and I didn’t have anything to do with Windows 7 but I’m betting you even Vista which I’ve never heard good things about works 100x better than any of the crap Apple tries to spew out of its disgusting hole of a company.

I feel better :)

Job Corps Essay

Growing up, I wasn't allowed to attend school. My adopted mother decided that, without any prior experience or training, she wanted to try home schooling. Well, the first 10 years we squeaked by but after we moved when I was about 12 she let it pretty much fall by the way side. Instead putting me in once a week home schooler programs usually sponsored by churches invented so home schoolers could meet other kids. Well, taking bible study, science, Shakespeare, and gym once a week doesn't quite earn you a diploma.

Now I'm working as a cart pusher at Walmart and one motivation for wanting to pursue a career path is seeing the employees with the '10, 15, and 20 years of service' badges. 20 years as a cashier? With no education or money that's what will happen to me. This is why I feel I'm ready to enroll in Job Corps. I want to earn my diploma and work with computers. I've been on computers since I was knee high, and have always been fascinated by what's inside them and how they work. Which is why Computer Repair and Business Technology sound perfect, I could have my own repair shop!

Since I wasn't busy with school, I spent a lot of time volunteering at the church. It taught me team work and discipline. That, and my job has helped build a good work ethic.

My Childhood Hero

I watched a lot of TV as a kid. I was homeschooled, so I had a lot of free time. But it wasn't all cartoons and sesame street. I watched a lot of Animal Planet. And one person caught my attention more than both Jeff Corwin and The Planet's Funniest Animals combined. He helped make me who I am today. He not only taught me facts about animals, but respect for them. And how to respect them. He taught me passion, something not everyone has. I couldn't do what he did, nor would I want to. I have slightly different dreams, but I can apply what I learned to what I want to do. Instead of looking for animals and studying them, I want to look for extinct animals and study them!

Even when he wasn't talking about animals, he was enthusiastic and passionate. These occasions were rare, but in one episode he was talking about a jet. I'm not really interested in jets, but I was while he talked about it. He got me deeply interested in something I didn't care about at all.  And I think that's pretty amazing. I wish teachers could be more like him. Heck, I think we can all learn something from watching those old reruns.

He wasn't perfect, of course. One thing he did I couldn't yet could believe he would. Of course the media was all over it and a lot of people didn't like him after word. Even I kinda back up at it, and I wish it hadn't happened.

Even so, I still wanted to meet him more than anything. I dreamed about it and was determined to do it. He taught me so many important things, and his skills with animals was impressive and I knew I'd get to see a lot of cool ones. Knowing that'll never happen absolutely breaks my heart. He wasn't in it for the money, or tthe fame, or whatever. He was just a guy doing what he loved. Even though his life was cut short, he did more than most people would in 4 lifetimes.

After everything he did for the world, saved animal's lives and people's by collecting snake venom, spreading awareness and educating about animals and their situations, instilling passion and respect into kids like me..





All I can say is...









I hate stingrays.
