Know your audience
I really enjoyed this assignment last week. I think it was a great way to get to know more about who we were in class with. Since we aren't really in class together physically and don't get to see or talk to in each other in person, this was a fun exercise to learn more about everyone and their thoughts and beliefs. We all seem to love our families. Whether it be our children and husband or mom, dad, and siblings that make up our immediate family. It was fun who would want what super power and what we would have invented. We are each others audience this semester. We are moms, dads, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, and whatever else we may be. We are all striving towards the same goals right now in life. To get a better education and provide a good life for ourselves and our family. We are all unique and each have our own thoughts and beliefs. It was interesting how many of us had the same answers to some of the questions. We are all humans and I believe family and those memories we create with our family are what we cherish the most. Our audience is made up of young and older students. Some have no children yet, some have half grown children, and some are still growing their families. We all have different things that we get mad at and different places we want to see in the world. I am glad I got to know a little more about who I am taking this class with and who is reading my writing this semester. I think it is nice to have our peers see and critique our writing. I need some advice and tips on my writing. We are all humans with feelings and thoughts and we are all learning to write together. This was a great assignment!

I believe my family is the best
I believe my family is the best. I have the best two kids you could ever ask for. Two beautiful daughters. One is eleven years old and the other one is 2 years old. They are great together. The eleven year old is my fiances daughter but I have been with her since she was three so I am pretty much her mother. She is the best kid. She never acts out or is hateful. She always appreciates everything. I love that kid so much. Then we have our two year old. Oh boy what a handful she can be. We are in the potty training stage and that is always lots of fun. She has so much personality in her. I love how outgoing she is. I was such a shy child and have worried she might be, but so far she is super outgoing. She is always so happy and quirky. My fiance is super great as well. He is such a great provider for our family. I am so amazed all the time at all he does for us. He works construction all day and then comes home normally to cook dinner. He is our cook. If they had to rely on mommy to cook all the time it might be bad. He works hard, cooks great meals and is the best daddy to our daughters. I am so a happy to have found him. My family makes me so happy. Outside of just us I have the best mother and father. My mother has always been there for me to talk to and tell her whatever I am going through. And my brother and his wife are the best too. They are like best friends to me. They have two kids. Logan and Tatum, a boy and a girl. I love them to pieces. My fiances family all lives right next door to us. We are one big happy family around here. Him and his brother run their business together so it's nice for them to be right here next to each other and help each other out. My sister in law is the best. She helps me with so much. They have a spunky little girl that is so sweet. Her name is Rylie. The girls all have a blast playing together all the time. I love my family and am so thankful for all of them.

Jung Typology Test
Well, taking the Jung Typology Test was very interesting. I came out as a ISTJ (Introverted Sensing Thinking Judging). The description of an ISTJ quiet frankly fit me perfectly. I am a very straight to the point, matter of fact kind of person. In the article "Introverted Sensing Thinking Judging" by Joe Butt it says Introverted Thinkers, often give the impression of being aloof and somewhat cold. I hate to admit it, but I am that way and really I'm not sure that this something that ends up being good for my writing in the long run. It reads that ISTJs perform at highest efficiency when employing step-by-step approach. That is for sure how I seem to work best. I kind of need it laid out and see how it should be done and how it works best and that is how I want to do it. In this article it says ISTJs get frustrated with inconsistencies of others but keep their feelings to themselves unless they are asked. That definitely describes me. I am a little uneasy with creative or descriptive writing and hope that I can change my introverted ways of doing things so that I can open up a little more and get my creative mojo flowing. So overall this was a good description of me as a person. I would just like to open up more a writer and have more emotion. Reading this article and seeing that this is how I am probably perceived kind of makes me want to change the way I do things. I would like to me more carefree and open up a little. I am a very quiet person and I think my writing reflects that. So I hope to learn some new habits as a writer with this class.
