Keeping Up With Kylie

 I know that it has been a long, stressful, and confusing semester for everyone. Zoom calls, online work, and the use of technology is what this semester has been like. But that’s okay, it is good to be adaptable to change. I am proud of myself because I think I have done a good job of improving my organizational skills and communication skills because of this pandemic and the change of how schools work now. I have been a little stressed with finishing up school this semester just because it hasn’t been the same as previous semesters, but that is okay. I feel extremely lucky and fortunate because I received a job offer already in Austin. I have been interviewing every week for different positions and I believe that these interviews have been motivating me to do better in school and be more independent. I want to be more responsible and take incitive for my actions. I sometimes lose sleep over worrying about my future and where I am going to end up. I think that was been stressing me ou

 Wow, this is a great tip. I did not know that Firefox has been around since 2002. I have used Firefox my whole life and love it! I always use it whenever my safari is acting up. I like that there is a large amount of security options because sometimes there can be sketchy websites on my browser. I think this tip is very useful and I am glad I discovered it.

 I had a conversation with my best friend earlier today about how we are feeling about finals. We are both stressed but overall feel much better than we have in the past. We are also both stressed about graduating and our job search journey right now. But the best piece of advice we both gave each other was to not settle for a job opportunity or working towards getting promoting during this process. We both think about dreaming big and setting our expectations high. Obviously, if it is a great job opportunity we will take it. However, we want to push ourselves to be the best we can be and get the best job for us. The most important growth mindset for my best friend and I is staying positive, working hard, and believing in ourselves. I love this post because I feel like I can share some personal motivation to my classmates. I hope you enjoy. I chose this image because it focuses on the importance of accomplishing your dreams.  Growth Mindset

 My Dog Tucker (100 word Story) My dog Tucker is my best friend. He is the most loving pet I have ever had. He is always getting so sad whenever I leave the house or whenever I leave to go to school. He is an Australian Shepherd. He does not bark ever and always wants to be loved. He lays on his back every time he sees someone hoping they will rub his belly. He is caring and knows when someone is upset. He sleeps with me evert night when I am home. I take him on long walks and always cuddle with him. Sweet Tucker.  Tucker on Walks (50 word Story)  Tucker loves walks more than any dog I know. His face lights up whenever I say the word walk.  He pants and cries because he is so excited to go on the walk. He sniffs everything during the walk. Going on walks with Tucker is my favorite thing to do.  Here is a picture of Tucker. He is the sweetest. 

  The Act of Kindness The holiday season is here, and young children are filled with joy and cheer. What a hard year it has been for all of us, not getting to spend the holidays with our families. The children not being able to attend in person school or participate in their favorite activities.  But the holiday season spreads joy and cheer. And we have never needed a holiday season so much.  For people to spread joy and cheer this year, and simple act of kindness will do. Telling your loved ones how special they are, donating to charity, and spending time with family.          What Christmas Means to You   Christmas can symbolize different meanings to everyone. Whether its time spent with family and friends or the gift of giving, Christmas holds a special place in people’s hearts. What the holiday season means to me is spending time with the ones you love the most. Giving back to your community. Spreading joy to the world and acts of kindness to everyone. That is what is important to

I have written a few microfiction stories myself before, but not very many. I love microfiction stories because they are short and sweet but fun to read. I read the "Tiny Tales Teaching Guide," and loved them. Most of them were about animals, which is always enjoyable to read about because it gives me a different perspective than a human would have in a story. I learned some story telling techniques as I browsed the material that I might want to use in my own writing such as using quotes from characters, using animals instead of humans for characters, and writing a bunch of microfiction stories about the same plot. I think I will want to write a microfiction series about a specific storyline so I can elaborate on different things in each microficiton story.  Tiny Tales Teaching Guide The Lion's Share

One late evening, a Cossack went into a village. Cossack pulled up to the last cottage and cried, "Heigh, master! Will you let me spend the night here?" "Come in, if you aren't afraid!" "What does that mean?" thought the Cossack, as he put his horse in the stable. He gave his horse food and went back into the cottage. He then saw his inmates, me and women and little children all praying and sobbing to God. When they were done praying, they began to put on clean shirts.  "What is everyone crying about?" asked the Cossack.  "Well, you see," replied the master of the house, "in our village Death happens during the night. It doesn't matter what the cottage looks, the next morning one had to put everyone who lived in the cottage into coffins, and then carry then to a graveyard. Tonight is our turn." "Never fear master. Without God's will, no pig gets its fill!" Everyone at the house went to bed, but the Cossac

 Once upon a time, in a certain village lived a happy husband and wife. Their neighbors envied them because of how pleasant and peaceful their marriage was.  The father's mistress had a son, but right after he was born she passed away. The sad moujik moaned and wept. He was devastated. How was he going to take care of his son now without its mother?  The father decided to hire a nanny to look after his son. The baby did not like the nanny and would not take the food she would give him. All the son did all day was cry and cry. But one night, the nanny was able to get the son to sleep peacefully. "What does this mean?" thought the nanny to herself. "Shall I stay awake all night to see what happens?" Right as midnight struck, she heard someone open the door and go to the son's crib. The baby became quiet, just as it was been taken.  The next night the same thing happened, as well on the third night. The nanny finally told the moujik about what has been happenin

 Once upon a time, it was a cold, winter night. The snow was falling so hard you could hear thumps from inside the castle. The king and queen just brought a little girl into the world. Her skin was as white as the glistening snow, and her lips were as red as a cherry. She was beautiful. The king and queen were in love with their little girl. They were so proud to be her parents and knew one day, she would be the most beautiful queen.  Years went by, and Snow White was growing into a woman. Her long, luscious black hair. Her psoralen skin, and ruby, red lips. She was irresistible.  The queen became very sick when Snow White was 10 years old. The king and Snow White prayed and prayed, but the queen did not get better. That winter, the queen died. Snow White was devastated. Her mother was her best friend.  Snow White began crying, her skin turned blue. Her hair turned gray, and her lips were gray. The king did not know what to do. If he should tell his daughter, her physical appearance ha

Once upon of time, it was the middle of winter. Snow flakes falling and the queen sat at her window working away on her embroidery.  She gazed into the snow, and pricked her finger. Three drops of blood fell into the snow. The queen said to herself, " Oh that I had a child as white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as the wood of the embroidery frame!" The queen gave birth to her white as snow skin, and blood red lips daughter. The queen died after her birth.  A year had gone by, and the king married a beautiful woman. She could not bear to let anyone be more  beautiful  than herself. She had a magic-looking glass and would stand before it. Looking-glass upon the wall, Who is the fairest of them all? "You are the  fairest  of them all," replied the  looking-glass. She knew the looking-glass spoke the truth.  Snow White began to grow prettier and prettier. She was now seven years old. Far more beautiful than the queen herself. The queen went to the looking-glass

 Once upon a time, a fisherman and his wife lived in a hovel by the sea-shore. The fisherman fished everyday, he angled and angled. One day, he sat with his rod and looked in the clear water. He sat and sat. At last, a great flounder was attached to on the hook. The flounder said to the fisherman "please let me go, I am not a real fish, I am an enchanted prince. I shall not taste well and be good on land for you, sir. Put me back in the water and let me swim." "No need for many words," said the fisherman. He let the fish swim away. The flounder sank to the bottom, and left a long streak of blood behind him. The fisherman got up and went him to his wife. "Did you catch anything today?" asked the wife. "I caught a flounder, but he was an enchanted price, so I had to let him go," said the fisherman.  "Did you wish for anything?" asked the wife. "No, why would I wish for anything?" asked the fisherman. "Oh my!" said the
