My Home

        I was born in The Woodlands, Texas I lived there till 3rd grade. I still consider it my home, my best memories happened there. I participated in soccer, ballet, and tae-kwon-do for at least eight years. Ballet was a big part of my life until I broke my toe, then I had to give it up. Which is okey because after I started riding my horses more. When I was growing up we owned two houses, well one a house and a ranch in Washington, Texas. This is where I learned how to horseback ride and shoot at snakes. We moved to our ranch my mom would still take my to dance class, an hour away, back to The Woodlands. I remember my dad always washing our cars in the driveway, I used to help him all the time, I enjoyed spending time with my dad back then. We would wash my dads car first, then my moms, and my sisters, I do not know why I enjoyed this but our summers where the same thing everyday. Sitting at our pool with a capri-sun and my jukebox, summers were my favorite. Other activities my dad and I did were going to get ice cream after school, driving around the city for fun, and watching baseball on an old box TV, where he would smoke a pipe of tobacco and yell at the TV.
        I went to a Christian Orientated school for most my life, probably why I am the person I am today.  I truly have nothing against religion but I wish some religions were not forced on children, especially since they do not get to chose. I understand a parent trying to do a good thing, but the memories I have of those Christian School years have me scared. I believe in being a good person, and doing good to others. Living a city life and country life really impacted my outlook on life. Learning how to garden, can food, and shoot can all be useful life skills if I ever needed them. My favorite actives on the ranch were, driving around feeding my horses, fishing, or riding my horse. My horses name was Taffy, she was trained to barrel race, she was also an American Quarter horse. I have had her since I was thirteen, she was my birthday present. I am grateful I lived the life I did, even through the more recent years of my family's split, I am grateful my mom has been supportive and nurturing to me. I am sad I do not get to see my horses anymore since they are with my dad, but hopefully I get to see them soon.

          In Amanda's article talking about spotify's untrustworthy way of listening to music, rather than tradition. Amanda understanding the uses of spotify and all its power and how easily accessible it has become. Amanda's main point/ thesis is why spotify is lofty and how traditional (record player) can be more of a "real" or trustworthy source cause it is right there. The primary argument Amanda makes is that spotify is going public in stocks and that spotify is a good base for the artist who want to get to listen for free. In these sentences she claims why she enjoys collecting records, how Spotify is going public, and how spotify is universal by helping artist and listener. In this sentence it shows her passion for collecting records and she feels like she is not restricted because of it, "because I still relish the experience of choosing and purchasing albums, I've accrued enough that I never feel as if my listening options are in any way circ...

About Me

My name is Mackenzie Roberts. I am a nineteen year old college student starting my first semester. I have two siblings but they do not live with me. My sister is named Meagan, she has two kids named Perry and CJ. My brother is named Drake. An interesting fact about Drake is that he was drafted out of high school to play baseball for the Indians but recently resigned. If I am not at school I am not at school I am most likely with friends, at work, at a coffee house, or with my mom. My current academic situation is that I am starting my first semester of college after taking a semester off since I graduated high school. While I attend A&M Consolidated High School I started junior year last August, and managed to complete a whole year early. I took several night courses online while going to school during day. My night courses included: English 4, economics, government, and science 4. My hobbies include painting, hiking, and dog watching. Painting is something I hop...

Spring Semester 2018

Spring Semester 2018 Blinn College This semester I went in thinking I would be struggling to pass and keep up with my work, but turns out it was the opposite. During the semester I expected myself to fall behind and not do so well, but I actually ended up succeeding in all my courses I signed up for. I signed up for four courses this semester: speech, reading, learning framework, and math. I kept up with all of them, passing and making good grades on tests and quizzes. I actually found them too easy, at some points I would ask myself how I got in such easy courses. Which is fine, I have learned from each course but I still feel as if I wasted my time in these classes. More specifically, learning framework, this class was completely unnecessary. The work was about how I would achieve in college and be a “good student” but realistically I’ve been prepared this whole time. I feel that I am ready for college material, college level teaching, and harder more challenging work. In high ...
