The Only Gift I Ever Truly Loved, My Special Gift



         So let me start this off by saying this is about a past gift I received and will never receive again until the day I move out of my mother's house. Another note, this was on a day in May and I was not a happy camper that day. My bird had just died due to my two dogs attacking it when they somehow managed to get into my room. So after about an hour of crying my mom asked if I wanted to go out and get a puppy to make me feel better. Of course I said yes since it was my dream to get a puppy.
       After a few hours we finally came to adopt a Yorkshire Terrier and I named him Logan for some strange reason. As a puppy Logan was fun to play with and probably my best friend back then. As he started to grow up he became more aggressive towards my male dog ,Pookey (who is sadly deceased), and would always nip at him. It got to the point where Pookey would be bleeding due to this puppy biting him constantly. I will also say that since Pookey was much older he never bit Logan back, he just endured the treatment. After finally having enough of Logan continuously tormenting Pookey, my mom thought it would be wise to give him away to a co-worker's son who had always wanted a puppy for Christmas. So as Christmas Eve came, my mom gave him away just as she said she would.
         I was fine with that. I was not fine with that. If I'm being honest here I probably cried for a good hour. Thinking of the saying "all good things must come to an end," I accepted what had been done and had moved on with my life(lol). So I guess you can say my early Christmas gift for that year was my mom giving away my puppy :,). 
         In all seriousness though, I really don't blame my mom for giving him away. Looking back on it I probably would've done the same. Oh well, what can you do? Things happen for a reason so it's best not to question it. Also did I mention I'm closing this? Oh. I didn't? Well I am now so bye bye!

Origin of My Oh-So Lovely Name



     So for starters Acacia is a baby girl name. According to most websites I've visited the name's origin is Greek and was derived from the Greek word 'ακη'(via Ακακία ), which means 'thorn, point'. Now I don't know how accurate the translation is since I'm not Greek, but we'll leave it as is.
     This is just for fun but some nicknames for 'Acacia' are Kay, Kaysha, Aysha, Ace, Cacie, Cacia, and Casey. That's about it so see(??) you next time when I have another assignment to write. Bye for now!
   ((NOTE: Do NOT address me with any of these nicknames because then I would be very angry with you and it will not end well for me nor you, unless you're Mrs.Joyner in which case it's ok.))

If I Had To Work In A School




      If I had  to choose a job in a school, I'd most likely be a photography teacher. The reason I say this is because it would be something that I both enjoy and know about. I also just love taking pictures of things I find fascinating because just like the phrase, "take a picture, it last longer," I like looking at beautiful things for longer than just a few seconds or minutes. Aside from that, I'd love to teach students about the history of cameras and how they took photos from way back, when the first camera was invented, up until today. I would also love to give out assignments of taking photos of a specific object or scenery and have them turn it in to see how well (or badly) their pictures turned out, and if they didn't turn out so well I'd love to help students work out their problems. Another thing I'd do is probably give test on how to produce photos and about specific types of cameras. After the test, if the class got scores higher than a C-, I would do a class project where they actually try to produce photos of their own, from when you couldn't just simply take a photo and have it appear. Other things I'd probably do are capture photos of students doing school events, whether it be a sports event or a fair, or I would record concerts.
      That's basically what I would do if I had to choose a job within a school. Though some of my ideas most likely won't be allowed by schools, I would still love to try those things out. Anyways, since I'm terrible at wrapping things up I'll end it with this, See ya later~!
