As I've grown up, my childhood dreams have been changing and developing into different dreams and goals. My main dreams are to finish college, get a good job, become successful, live a long life and be proud of myself and all of decisions I've made throughout the years, and to not be ashamed of very much in my past. In one year, I see myself in the middle of my junior year in high school doing very well in school and trying to do good on all of my test that you have to take as a junior. I plan on getting ready for college and really trying in school. In five years, I see myself in college. I'm not entirely sure what I want to go to college for yet, but I have an idea, and I want to do something that has to do with law. In ten years, I see myself hopefully married and having a good job that I've always wanted. In fifty years, I see myself still married and living happily. I'm not sure where I'll live, but I do know it won't be in Erie still. I'm planning on moving to a bigger city, preferably Chicago. For a living I think I'll be doing something in the law area, and I plan to make good money. I think and I hope I'll be married with children, that's one of my goals to accomplish. I'll reach these goals by being myself and trying my hardest to reach them.

Decision Making Model

I found this decision making model to help me sort through this problem in my life. My brother Matt and I got into a fight over where we're going to go on vacation. My dad put the decision up to us to decide on our own, but we have to agree on a place together. He wanted to go to Florida and I wanted to go to California. I looked over this model to help us make a decision that both of us agree on. First, we identified the problem by basically saying we disagree on where to go. Then we the second step on the chart says to gather information, and we did. We looked up what we could do in both places and what the weather was going to be like in both places. Then we analyzed the situation and we found out that the weather wasn't suppose to hold up in California at the location we would go to, and we found more fun things for the both of us in Florida. Then we developed our options. We had two options that included going to where one of us wants this year then go where the other one wants the following year. After that, we evaluated our options. We thought since Florida weather and activites would be more reasonable for a vacation this summer, we were thinking about going there. Then we selected a preferred alternative, and we made a decsion that made us both happy; we were going to Florida. The last step of this decision making model was to act on the decision, and that's exactly what we did, and we had a good time.

Introducing Myself

I'm Amanda Mangoni. I'm a sophomore in Mr. Corbin's health class and I am fifteen years old. There are many things that make me who I am. The things that are most important to me in life are my family and friends, so i spend most of my time with them. Summer is definitely my favorite season, I'm not a very big fan of snow and the cold. The activites I like to do in my spare time are running, swimming, hanging out with friends, shopping, going to the beach, and I love to go on vacations. My interests are sports, traveling, and boys. I'm not entirely sure where I want to go to college yet, but I know I want to go pretty far and I don't want to stay in Erie at all. The colleges I have in mind are Notre Dame and Florida State. My career plans are for sure going to have something to do with law. Law interests me and I want to be a lawyer or something like that.
