For my leadership class, our final is doing something creative about what goals we have. I asked two of my classmates what they would be doing and they said a poem and a collage. I didn't want to copy them, so I decided to do a blog post. I figured no one would do it too and I wanted it to be different. Pretty creative huh? I really wanted to do an acrostic poem of the words 'goals' as well so I'm mixing the two up. Here's my acrostic poem, and then I'll explain why I chose what I did.
Good
Optimism
Academic
Leader
Strength
I chose 'good' because I want to do good in the world.
I chose 'optimism' because I want to be optimistic, I don't like pessimistic people and I don't want to be a person I don't like.
I chose 'academic' because I want to do well in school and get a good education.
I chose 'leader' because everyone is a leader in one way or another and I want to be a good one.
I chose 'strength' because I want to have the strength to stand up for my beliefs and to stand up for what's right.
So basically, I want to be a good, happy person that people can look up to. I want to be a good role model for people around me.

My Doctor Who Addiction
Doctor Who. Where do I start? I suppose how I became acquainted with the show...
It all started with my cousins. At my family reunions I would always listen in on the my cousins conversations and they would consist of Doctor Who and Harry Potter. I could relate to Harry Potter, but not Doctor Who. I didn't have Cable or Netflix at the time so I couldn't watch it, so I always kind of felt left out of their cousin group. Then last year, when my other cousin started watching them, he gave me his Netflix password and I started watching them. Let's just say I got addicted and didn't really do anything besides watch the show. My little sister watched with me so naturally she got just as addicted as me. I even got my friend's brother, Quinn, addicted to it as well.
I was at my cousins one day, it may have been for March Madness, and she put on her wedding dress so we could see what it looked like. She was going to be getting married in a couple of months later. While she had it on, her mom told her she looked so beautiful and had a 'special' smile on her face whenever she tried on her dress and thought about her wedding. I promptly stated, "I get that look when I watch Doctor Who..."
"What is Doctor Who?" You may be wondering, well I found a few wonderful descriptions:
It's true. Doctor Who is all of this and more. The special effects may be horribly crazy, some of the story lines may be super weird, but I love every minute of every episode. There are episodes that make you cry because you're laughing so hard and there are some that make you cry because it's just so heartbreaking. There are lessons to be learned in each episode and I won't forget one. You hear people say they want a love like Edward and Bella or a love like Romeo and Juliet etc. Well, I want a love like The Doctor and Rose. I don't suffer from an addiction to Doctor Who, I am perfectly content with my addiction. On my Pinterest, I may (or may not) have over 1,500 pins on my Doctor Who board.
If after reading this blog post, you feel like you might want to watch the series, here is what will happen to you:
Everything in this video is correct, except where she started. I wouldn't start in the middle of the series, because you would be even more confused than you would by starting at the beginning. Start by watching the episode "Rose" with Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor and don't you DARE skip him. He was my first Doctor, and you never forget your first Doctor.
This post probably makes me sound crazy and weird, but we all of our addictions. For my cousin, it's coca-cola. For my mom, it's BBC Period Drama movies (Pride and Prejudice, Cranford etc.). For me, it's Doctor Who (and some other BBC shows like Sherlock and Merlin). You know what people say, don't knock it until you try it. And even then, don't bash on Doctor Who when you're with me or you might get hurt.
There is so much more I want to say, but I don't know how to say it. So I'll just leave you with the words of Steven Spielburg:
