Ashley Anne Fickbohm always aims far.
What this sentence says about me is that the goals I set for myself are usually high but still for sure reachable if I put my mind to it. One of my goals for example, is to start my own preschool someday. Something that will take alot of work to do, but yet not out of reach.

A friend of mine convinced me to talk to this guy she knew and as a result I dated him.
It all began as a single email, asking a few get-to-know you questions and a reply back with answers and more questions. Later on as time went, I spoke to him for the first time over the phone. We talked about our favorite colors, our favorite things to do, what our families were like, the kind of kisses we enjoyed, basically anything and everything. Our phone call lasted for a total of two and a half hours. We then emailed each other more often and called every once in awhile just to see how things were going. Then in May 2006 we agreed to meet each other in person. So on May 20, he came out to my place, met my parents and then took me out to eat. We went to pizza hut for supper and there he would smile at me, wink, and even played "footsie" with me. Ha ha, it was great and then we decided to go to a movie. It began to rain as we left pizza hut and he said something that made me laugh hysterically! He said, "My windshield wipers only work when there is a hot girl sitting next to me so I don't know if they will work or not." Then he turned them on and of course they worked. The dork! So we went and saw Mission Impossible III and in the theatre we held hands and kissed and cuddled. Then we headed back home, late! Anyways then he came out the next day and helped move cattle and then he had to go back home. But the next day, he called me and asked if I would be his girlfriend. So we dated for two and a half years; when we broke up it really really hurt, and to this day we still talk about getting back together. The fact that I had our wedding basically planned out and looking at engagement rings also made it really hard to throw it all away, but maybe someday it can happen again.
So the fact that I trusted my friend, was something I will never forget.

"Because human problems are created, conducted, and sustained by human beings, they can be ended by human beings."
I agree with this statement because this means that when people are fussing over little things or stressing over big things, they cause issues in their own life. These things can then put stress on themselves, financially, in their relationships or friendships, or even businesses. I know that sometimes when I start to get stressed out over some things, I end up taking my stress out on something or someone else. That's why suicide rates are so high, because people don't realize that when they become stressed out, they need to relieve themselves and end up doing this by hurting them or someone else.
I personally know what it is like to hurt someone else....ask my ex. I also have threatened to hurt myself many times and a few times even came close to finishing it. I am not proud of myself for it, but at times it feels like that is the only way to solve my issues. But after last year, I have been trying different ways to relieve my stress and find better solutions than suicide. So yes I do believe that if humans create, conduct, or sustain a problem, they also have the power to solve their issues.

Nameless Emotion
The room can be full of people
They can be standing right next to me
Yet it feels like I'm in this dream
Where there is absolutely nothing but white
As far as I can see
And it's just me standing there alone
With nothing to do, nothing to say
How do I make you understand this feeling
It's a torture destroying me on the inside
I fight it as much as possible
But the only thing I can do
Is smile, pretend everything is ok
And walk away
Argument Blog for English Comp. 201
This one time I had a huge argument with my now ex-boyfriend. We were arguing over religion and trying to make each other realize why going to church or meeting in the home was different. I had gone to a church all my life until I met Eric. His family meets in the house and speaks out loud to each other. At first I thought it was much like a bible study and didn’t think anything of it. Later when I asked him to come to my church to see what it was like; he said that he didn’t think he would. I got mad because I had went with him to his church and couldn’t understand why he wouldn’t at least come and see what it was like at my church. I blew up at him saying that he wasn’t even given a fair fight. We kept arguing for awhile and finally after a few days, he said he would come. So after that Sunday service, I asked him what he thought of it; he said he liked how he felt at meeting more than coming to a church.
After awhile I continued going to meeting with him because I started to see how meeting actually affected people whereas sitting in a pew next to someone snoring! After about a year going to meetings and conventions, I professed! It was such an awesome feeling and now I love going to meetings and being able to share my thoughts for the week and relating to others that speak that day.
