IRONY

During this time last year, was my first semester at MSC as a freshman in college. Ofcourse I was excited to finally become a college student which to me, indicated that there were going to be college parties, or things highly related to the movie, "Drum Line" or "Legally Blonde" where every one and everything seems Live and fun, dramatic, and eye catching.
Soon enough I realized that college at MSC wasn't what I had in mind. On the first day of class, while I had the mentality of meeting new people, exchanging numbers, creating some kind of group-click (the movie: "Legally Blonde") basically having non-academic fun, everyone else around me looked more serious and things seemed more intense than expected. I found myself alone, with no knowledge of which building was which even with the signs on them, thinking to myself how I thought the first day of college was going to be fun and enthusiastic....no, it was the excate opposite of what I was prepared for.

I find this irony because looking back on it after a year now, I can't believe I actually thought college was just like high school where things tend to be more easier for someone who just graduated. Just glad I know better now.

STORY vs. ESSAY

The movie that I've watched that revealed the truth about life is "BLOOD DIAMOND". The movie, says alot about the behind the scenes that jewlery lovers, especially Diamond buyers don't see. As far as they know, diamonds comes from Africa but what they do not know is the price (what it cost: life, the struggles, the way of living) that was paid by the Africans to export those diamonds to the Uninted States or other continents.

The truth the movie, BLOOD DIAMOND revealed is the abuse that the country of Sierra Leon encountered not only physicall, but as well as mentally and emotionally. It went into details as to what people would do just for materialistic things such as money and Diamonds. It also, shows the risks that some leaders would take their country through just to show who has the upper hand against other countries. The truth was revealed mainly through War: killing of families, War between Sierra Leon's army and Somwhat of America's or other country.

This movie, clearly illusrates what the real world is like today. For example, the War going on between U.S and Iraq. What exactly are these two countries fighting for? How is this fight benefiting the citizens of these two countries? This war is doing nothing but killing the soliders who dedicated their lives for their country to win the respect and honor of their country with little to no knowledge of the REAL PURPOSE why this war is still going on.

Overall, the movie, "BLOOD DIAMOND " reveals alot of the truth about life through war, pain and agony. However, not a lot of people knows the truth about these diamonds and the lifes that were given up for it. The saying : "diamonds are a gilr's best friend" is an ignorance saying because not all girls knows the truth behind those shining diamonds.

Things Carried

As a young, but soon to be a full-adult, the things I carry depends on how I plan to spend my day. For instance, if I'm going to school, I know for a fact that books will be involved with my normal load of stuff compared to if I was just going out for my own pleasure. However, on a regular basis, regardless if I'm in or out of school, there are up to five items I carrry in my purse at all times. First is my cell phone. That is something I can't go a day without. This is an item I use to keep and stay in-touch with my friends and family. A way to letting them know my where abouts. It is also an object that I use as a safety net when I feel uncomfortable within my surrondings. Secondly is my wallet. I think everyone will agree with me when I say you can't go anywhere if your wallet isn't within reach. As a young lady, I believe that apperance is one of the top three things one should ALWAYS keep up with which is why my lipgloss and hair brush are the third and fourth most imporatant items that stays in my purse. As my mother always says: "Never know when you meet Mr. Right." Thats something that runs in the family. Last but not least of the most important thing I carry on me at all times is my identification card. With this, I know that i have the prove to identify myself as the person I am. You can never know when I can be in a situaion where my ID will be the only thing to safe my life besides God.
