Happiness

Basically there are people and sounds in my life that complete me (aka make me happy) my family, my friends, and music. When I am near my family, I am the happiest. I love my family. My family is so random, funny, NOT quiet, kind of pushy, and very lovable. Here is how it goes in our home. First off, there are my parents. It's like they say in My Big Fat Greek Wedding: "The father is the head of the family, but the mother is the neck, and the neck can control which way the head turns." Yes, that basically defines my parents. My dad MAY think he is the boss, but it's always what my mother says that goes. Then there are my little siblings, my little brother, Matthew who is 14, is the clown of the family. He's always the one cracking jokes in the family. He is just the funny outgoing slash daredevil of the family. NOW, my little sister Selinna, who is 13 years old, she has some issues: she's a major BRAT! Never, I repeat never come over to our house when Selinna has just woken up; because you will actually, get to meet Satan himself. She always has an attitude, but in-spite all of that, I still love her. And for myself, I'm the eldest, I am the one that gets blames for everything, I am the first in our family to attend college, and the one who has to ALWAYS set a good example for my little brother and sister. This takes care of the main part of my family, and I'm not going any further into the rest.
The other people that make me happy are my friends. My friends are my comfort zone, my security blanket. I'm usually with at least one of my friends every day, and if I'm not...then I've probably already talked to them on the phone, or at least communicated with them in some way. I love all my friends, and I hope to never lose them.
Last but not least, MUSIC! I love music; I can listen to any genre music. Music is the best thing in this world. It's hard to explain how I feel about music, but all i know is that no matter my mood, music is there for me to listen to.
So far in my life, the only thing that I can think of that I can do to bring more happiness into my life is to stop caring what other people think of me. I've actually gotten better at not caring what others think about me, but it does still bother me. I'm aware that sometimes, it lowers my self-esteem. So I plan as much as I do now. What people think about me is their own decision and to make my life happier to not care I choose to not be concerned about what I cannot control!

Dream Job

My dream job would be, me, having my own business for Architecture, Engineering and Interior Designing. I would be the Architect/Interior Designer and my father would be the Engineer. Of course a family business called "Kapu Co."! My father would be the head boss and I would be the "back-up boss,"I guess that's what you could call it. In this position,I would be designing the look of people's houses and I would then offer if they would like me to design the inside of their house/building. My father would be the one to do all the dimensions and watch on the site and make sure that everything is being done the way it should be. And what the best thing about my dream job is that it is what I've always been wanting to do my whole life.

Getting Most Out Of Butte College

Me being here at Butte College gives me a lot. Getting my education is the most important. i want to take all the classes that i need up until i leave/transfer to a four year college.

Another way that i get the most out of my time here at Butte is my job. I started around the end of my first semester at Butte and then went on "officially" at the beginning of this semester. My job allows me to interact with new people everyday, helps me become more of a people person, it is going to be good on my resumés, it gets me money, and since I'm S.I.ing for a Foundations of Writing class, I'm never going to forget what I, myself, learned in that class.

Not only is going to school good for my education, but I get to get out of the house. I'd rather be at Butte everyday for the rest of my life, than be stuck at home doing nothing. So I'm glad that i get to come out to Butte four times a week for all of my classes.

The last thing that I get the most out of being here at Butte, is that I work as an S.I. and of course i make money. If I never came to Butte i wouldn't be making money which I always need.

My Goals This Semester

This is my second semester at Butte College, and my first semester here went really well, but I still think that I could have done much better. This semester I am expecting to do WAY better than I did in the fall. I have many goals and expectation for this semester and as I can tell, it isn't going to be easy!
First off, I really want to pass all my class. I am trying to get my PhD, and major in Architecture, and Interior Designing. I'm going to start off my first three years here at Butte College and then transfer to a four year college (preferably Chico State).
Second, I want to try and not let my work involve with my schoolwork and study time. I really like my job, I work at Butte College as an S.I. (Supplemental Instruction). I help students who need to raise their grade in a certain course or better understand the material in that course.
Third, well this isn't really related to school, but I want to be able to get my car fixed. I dislike having to carpool with my friends when I have a car of my own. I don't want to just use all of my friends gas, I want to be able to be the driver and I don't want to have to depend on her so much.
Lastly, I want to be happy with how far I've gone this semester. I don't want to be stressed out, and worrying so much. Usually when i worry to much about school i worry myself to sick. I just want to try and take this semester at my pace that will also work for my classes.
