Writing 110 Reflection, it was a pretty good time yeah :D

Since the second semester started back in February I've been in Writing class, for the last five months and really enjoyed it! Everything I learnt in this class was fun and excitable, and I learnt a lot, although it was challenging at times. I really did enjoyed this class and it was one of my favorites of my second semester!
The most difficult type of writing I did this year was probably the pervasive writing i did last week. It was so hard for me because with that particular type of writing because I couldn't really pick a funny topic to do and write a lot on, so I had to pick a serious topic (and being serious is one of my strong points!). The writing I found the easiest this course had to be anything that I got to be creative on and really use my imagination. I found ones like that so easy because I have an over active imagination, probably from watching all the TV I watch like Buffy and Ugly Betty. The writing piece that I like the best is an extremely hard question because I really do like all my writing assignments because I'm proud and still a little astonished that I did all this. But if I do have to put down my favorite one I would have to say it is the pervasive essay Imma Adopt a Lil Asian Bebe !! :D I did last week, because I had to put a lot of research and time into it to make sure I did a good job on it.

I would redo this because I think I did a pretty poor job on it because I was in a rush to do it and just did it for the hell of it.

I have must of peer evaluated like 60 different times!!!!!! I found thought of it as kind of a nascence at first but then when I could use the notes from them to better my work, I realized that they actually did help. So after I realized they helped I didn't mind doing them. Back in my writing inventory I stated that my weakness was that I have very poor spelling and punctuations skills, but now I do believe that I have gotten better at this, because when ever I got marked they would always comment on my spelling and punctuation, so it made want to strive to get a mark back that said there were no errors of that sort! I don't think that ever happened, but I have improved outstandingly so its all good!
The three most enjoyable activities I did were the one minute video, the how to video and Young Lads Adventure! I enjoyed these one soo much because I got to use my imagination and had free range to do what ever I wanted! The three least enjoyable things I did were The Pigs that Pushed Their Sibling out the Window!, The three Grammar Writing Exercises and The Christmas Story. I didn't enjoy these activities because two of them had to do with spelling and grammar (one of my weak points), and the other one I didn't really pay attention to.
Ive been taking this course since second semester and have really enjoyed. Whether it be from writing articles, making videos or just because I am able to let my imagination run wild! So I would like to thank Mr. Carter for having this class and thank him for the skills I will be taking away from this, that I will keep and use for the rest of my life ! :)

Imma Adopt a Lil Asian Bebe !! :D

Adoption is where some one takes a child that is not biologically theres in as their own, to raise and treat as if it was there own child. Adoption has been around for decades if not centuries, where people would take in their siblings or neighbors children if they are deceased, and now most people adopt when they can not have children of there own. But the process of adoption is very difficult, it takes any where from a couple of months (in special situations), to a number of years! So the how adoption is very vigorous and difficult at times, but in the end is always rewarding. So I have a few things I would like to change about it would be things like that adoption in your home country should be easier, the time should be lessened to adopt, more good eligible people should be able to adopt!

A lot of the time when you hear or talk about adopting, you are usually saying that you would like to adopt a little foreign baby from some poor or overpopulated country. Most people say this not realizing that a lot of adopted children are from different countries because it it soo hard to adopt in your own country! The main reasons is because in countries like Canada, USA or ever England because we have extremely strict rules and regulations that you must file and do be for your even considered to be put on a waiting list, plus the waiting list have hundred of people on them! Causing a lot of people to travel to foreign countries like China and Africa where they can adopt a child more easily because they have soo many eligible kids that need a home fast so the process is usually a lot quicker too! That has to do with why some celebrities are running around with African or other poverty stricken children.

The wait for when you adopt a child is usually between a year to five years, and some have gone longer. When you think about this it sounds pretty crazy, because when a lot of people want to adopt they usually want a baby, but if you wanted to adopt a baby and had to wait FIVE YEARS the baby isn't a baby anymore! So i would only make sense to speed up the process to make it better a less stressful for both the parent and the child. But of course they have to do some checks on you to make sure that your not a schizophrenic pedophile, and make sure that you can support the baby and stuff, but you don't need to take five years to do what you could do with in months.

Luckily we live in a part of the world were everyone is considered equal and have rights, so if we are all the same why are there some people that aren't always allow to adopt or have a harder time adopting? For many years now gay/lesbian and single parents have been trying to adopt haven't been judged fairly because of the who they are or because they are single. Although throughout all of Canada as a gay/lesbian and single parents are legally allowed to adopt it is way harder for them, then a straight two parent family. Why you may ask, it is because there are some people in the world that don't think gay or single parents could raise children right, and with them they always to extra things to make sure they could raise a child and they are often harder on them to. But really it is people like that that cant raise a child right because with ideas like that it proves that they discriminate and probably will attempt to raise their children to think the same thing, when a single or gay parent would try to raise their children to be more open minded because of what people think of them.

"But they need to keep these measures in place to protect the safety of the children" some people who say when they are trying to crush my ideas, but in a rebuttal i am not saying that you must eliminate the laws in tact I am just saying that the laws could be lessen to help people be able to give these children a happy home more quickly. "...to protect.." when they say that do they mean protect the children from gay or single parents? If so then someone must find these children and protect them from ideas like that because its things like that that cause discrimination and prejudice in the youth, from people that have ideas like that.

Adoption is a long a strenuous battle for happiness of both children and parents to come together to make a family, so if it becomes more available for people, the wait is reduced and anyone that wants to start a family can whether it be a single parent of a gay or lesbian couple, a happy family will be made sooner. I'll say tell you my thesis one more time, "So I have a few things I would like to change about it would be things like that adoption in your home country should be easier, the time should be lessened to adopt, more good eligible people should be able to adopt!". I would like to leave you with a quote about adoption to keep you thinking, "It has been said that adoption is more like a marriage than a birth: two (or more) individuals, each with their own unique mix of needs, patterns, and genetic history, coming together with love, hope, and commitment for a joint future. You become a family not because you share the same genes, but because you share love for each other." - Joan McNamara
