My top 3 =]

The three most important people in my life....

            First off, of course my mother. She is about 5'2, very skinny, with long, thin, highlighted light brown hair. She is very loud and energetic. She can always be the life of the party. She is a single mother of four kids. She works all day and sometimes all week juss so she can make some money for us to spend. She's always worrying about us, and making sure she is able to provide us with everything we need to succeed in life. She is always putting my siblings and I before her. She is always there when you need her, and she can be very caring at times. Without my mother's help and support, I would not  be the person I am today. I wouldn't know how I would be where I am today without her. My mom is one of the only people I can really count on in my life. I know that when I need her most, she won't walk out on me. Overall, the main reason as to why my mother is important in my life is because she raised me and has been there for me my whole life.

            The second important person in my life, (in no particular order) is my grandpa on my mother's side. He was always there to pick me up from elementary school when I was young. He was always there to take care of me when my mom was at work. He would always buy me something from the liquor store and give me money for the ice cream man. He would make sure I was always as happy as I can be. He looked out for me all the time when my brothers would try and pick on me. I would go crying to him, and then he would grab a broom and chase my brothers around the house trying to find them. They would always hide from my grandpa, he wouldn't hit them with the broom, but they were scared of him when I told on them. I was his favorite grandkid. =) He was more of a father figure to me. I loved him with all of my heart, and he loved me too. R.I.P Grandpa. <3

             Now, the last important person in my life(in no particular order) is not a family member, but my best friend, Sidney Walker. She has always, and I mean always been there for me when I was just bored and wanted to do something, or when I needed someone to talk to. She was always there when my other "so-called" friends walked out on me. She has been there through the thick and thin, the good and bad, and the ups and downs. She is the one person I can always talk to, and just sit on the phone and talk about nothing. I can always have a good time just hanging out with her even if were just watching T.V., play any kind of board games, or just sitting there doing nothing. I care about her more than basically any of my friends, only because I know I can count on her whenever I need anything. I know that me and her will always be friends, even in the long future.

My Thoughts on FFN=]

Before reading Fast Food Nation, I thought that it was just going to be about every fast food company and how successful they’ve become. I never thought that it would get into gruesome details about how the food that we eat is prepared so badly. I’m glad that we read this book; it opened my eyes to a lot of the stuff that I eat. It makes me think about the animals and how they were treated, which makes me upset. Just like the trees in the rainforest, or the oil we have, people who work in slaughter houses feel as though there are so many cows, that they are able to do anything to them and not have to worry about the end result.

This book affected me in many ways. Not only by changing my diet, but also thinking about the animals that are being horribly treated and basically sacrificed for our nasty eating habits. I think that I am going to try and really cut down on a lot of fast food and eat more healthily. I still cannot believe that the cows and pigs that we consume, consumed dead animals and feces themselves. It disgusts me to such and extent to where every time I eat fast food, I think about eating dead, rotten, nasty animals and their poop. I think that these fast food industries should just stop worrying about the quantity, and start worrying about the quality. If all they care about is the quantity and not quality, their food is going to cause all of their customers to get horribly sick and may even cause death, and then they won’t have anybody to sell their food to, so in reality, they’ll end up losing money.
