The Big Decision

In my life there have been many times where my personal feelings toward a certain thing have affected the relationships that I have had with people. In one case in particular it was very hard to make the decision that I had made. Right now my parents are going through a divorce and about a year ago I was talking to my dad about what would happen after we moved out of the house. I did not want to be moving out with my mom because of some problems she had and the rocky relationship that we shared, so I told my dad that I was going to live with him and my brother because I got along with both of them and it would be a much more stable environment to live in. Although, much to my surprise my mom came up to me asking where I wanted to live, not with who but which city I wanted to live with her. I was shocked at the accusation and when I told her I wasn’t going to live with her she cried and begged me to and even my brother thought I should live with her because he thought that she would go into a downward spiral if I did not. I made the hard decision not to live with her, for the first time in my life I can drive home and not sit in the car for a minute to prepare myself for what would happen when I open the door, and now my relationship with my mom is better than it has ever been.          

Barak Obama's Inconsistencies

Barak Obama has declared that he opposes same sex marriage which contradicts his views about the equality of all people. He also says that he agrees with the civil union of same sex couples. I believe that these opposing positions have to do with the fact that he is the president of the U.S. Obama is a public figure and to get in higher positions he must please more people so saying that he disagrees with same sex marriage he appeals to the majority of people who disagree while appealing to gay and lesbian people who wish to be treated equally and want to be in a civil union.

If Obama was presented with Nova and Dawidoff’s argument, I believe that he would say that civil union gives gay and lesbian couples the same rights as heterosexual couples. But I also think that he would say that the way he was raised made him think that marriage is suppose to be between a man and woman. Even though he says that he believes in the civil rights of gay and lesbian people he does not support them completely making his position on the matter extremely contradicts.

Hello classmates, this is the first time that I am blogging so bear with me. I have only taken one communication class so far and that was public speaking, which is obviously not going to help seeing as this class is an online only class. I am a Biology major and with the degree I hope to pursue a career as a Veterinarian. As you can probably tell by my career aspirations I love animals and love working with them. other than my interests in animals I also love the outdoors. I love to fish, wake board, hike, ride dirt bikes, and go camping. Besides the outdoors I also love to make things, from scrapbooks to chairs and anything in between, as long as I can be creative. Well that's basically all there is to know about me, so until next time.
