Personalities

I have learned that there are a few different personality types according to the Myers-Briggs Personality Inventory. There are four different categories. You could be and E/I- an extrovert or introvert, N/S- Intuitive or Sensate, F/T- Feeling or Thinking, and finally J/P- Judging or Perceiving. I took the Myers-Briggs Personality Inventory test, my personality is ENFJ.

Valentines Day

Most of the time people think of Valentines Day as a holiday to get gifts from or for someone special. Valentines Day makes people think about hearts, candy, bears, and flowers. There is actually religious history behind the Valentines holiday. Valentines Day was named after Saint Valentine. The day comes from an ancient Roman celebration which used to be on the 15th of February. It was soon changed to the 14th of February for a fest day. Now onstead of being a traditional holiday, Valentines Day has become very commercialized.

Today in the United States when kids hear the word "doctors office" they cringe and dread the day of their check up. We go to the doctors to make sure that we are not sick or to help us not get sick.

The Symbol of Light

Native American inhabitants dug circular pits in the ground, they used these for ritual ceremonies. They had these ceremonies before they were forced by the Spanish missionaries, to abandon their religion, and become a Christian. Many Native Americans believed that spirits from the underworld. These places were used as a place to connect with the underground spirits of their origin.

Light is a symbol of survival. Light shines through darkness to help someone (something) find their way through what they cannot see. When we need help getting something done it is like being in a dark room, you cannot see anything. But if you keep trying you will soon find your way through the darkness. The sun is the worlds flashlight, it makes a path for us to get through the day. Sunlight shows happiness and survival. When people are in a tough situation it brings happiness to see light because it shows them a path.

The Beauty of The Sun

The world awakes to beautiful colors rising over the mountains.

My electricity brings beauty to the world as the day goes on.

It comes time for the world to rest; I slowly bring the colors of night.
