Throughout my life i had many personal experiences that's changed my life positively and some just made me the crazy person I am today. Many of the choices I made as a child helped me understand the future like when mommy says "respect your elderly" i took that to heart and learned that given respect you will receive it back. I will experience many amazing changes throughout my life which i can share to my children in the future.
My fondest memory I wet myself in front of my principle in first grade. The reason for my accident was that my teacher, Mrs. Dreger, said we couldn't disturb her while she is in a guided reading group, so I remembered her saying that and didn't want to ask her because I am respectful. I had the platter of a squirrel, I couldn't take the pain anymore. I was the dancing first grader at the door, putting a show for everyone in the hallway to look. I couldn't hold it! I WET MYSELF (gasp)!
The principle was the guest of honor! Watching the show from front row seat. My pants wet, I'm cold and i remember exactly what he said. "Woah son, i see you had an accident. No worry we will call your parents to bring you fresh clothes, and the janitor will clean up, don't worry son. I will not tell a soul, don't feel embarrassed." i felt like i was about to die; my life flashing throughout my eyes, only thinking if my classmates saw! i waited in the nurses office for my dad to laugh (chuckle) and i to change into clean clothes, but the nurse said you can take him home if you want to, so i went home. Monday when i can into school I wondered if anyone saw the accident, if they were going to pick on me for wetting myself. Thank god nobody saw; a thousand pounds came of my shoulders.
Although I wet myself that day was a nerve wreck for me, I was very respectful to the teacher and she apologized to me for not letting me go to the bathroom when i really needed to go. She is my favorite teacher i ever had and i still wish she was teaching so I could give her the biggest hug in the world :) comment on my blog people!!!!!!!!

Character I'm Mostly Drawn To!
The Character I'm mostly drawn to is Mr. Utterson because he is a very noisy and detective person who wants to know everything. For example in the previous chapter he received an envelope containing a letter from a friend that pasted away Mr.Lanyon; the note says "PRIVATE"," Letter must be open when Dr.Jekyll either dies or disappears. the reader could sense that Mr.Utterson wanted to open the envelope and read the letter but to have honor to his friend, so he didn't. I feel attached to this character because i am very noisy to be honest and suspect unusual attitudes; I think Utterson adds that spark to the book! To my point of view, Mr. Utterson shows that friendship has obstacles that can either destroy your relationship or improve it.

"Story Of The Door" Reaction!
The first chapter of the confusing novel " The Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll & Mr. Hyde" was very complex to understand because it switches settings and conflicts fast without giving anyone a warning. The memory that still conjugates in my mind is when Mr.Utterson walks at 3 in the morning. He witnesses a child and a grown man collide and fall to the ground; the man stand up and without brazen and walks straight on top of the poor child.It draws my attention because grown men should not just have respect for themselves, but at least have some dignity and assist the child on the floor that you stepped on. In Victorian Times manners was a habit that people should know, so Mr. Utterson goes up to the man and says if he doesn't show respect, he would publicly shame the heartless mans' name to the town. All in all, the memory still draws my attention today because in order to want respect I think you should give some respect!:D

Mental Illness In The 19th Century!
Today I read "Mental Illness In The 19th Century" which was about how the confused were seen in a different manner. People believed that mental illness is caused by witchcraft and demonic reasons thus the ''normal'' people decided to open facilities for the people that they seemed are not the same.Citizens concluded that insanity was caused by brain damage from outside tissues of the brain. As the establishments started to increase from population the doctors began to become frustrated and started to use physical maneuvers to ''cure'' the patients. Also the doctors accredited that alcoholism and masturbation was the roots of madness; later on then using electricity and painful procedures by the mid 1900s. :D Comment!!
