New Purpose
At a young age I had tons of stuffed animals, probably like most kids. Although would argue that my collection was pretty big. They were of every animal and size. All of them together easily took up the whole bed which was a queen. One Valentine's Day even got like about twenty stuffed animals at once. On that day I woke up and saw them all on the couch, of course being a kid that made me happy. Then as time went on some were let go and some still are with me. Getting rid of them were so hard being a little kid. To the point were my mom did kind of have to force me. Did not help that also had a walk-in closet which made me want to keep them even more. Ar0und the young teenage years still had like a small amount from before. A few were some big teddy bears. One was like this long stuffed weenie dog with hearts. In my room there was a spot which they were like on a chest. Those I guess were my favorite due to the size. They were close to my inner child which still is with me.

My Weird Pairing
I would say pasta is one of my favorite foods of all time. This would be easily be a comfort to choose right off the bat. Usually my list consist of they typical foods that most would pick. That is like hotdogs, cheeseburgers, and mac and cheese. Just love how Italian food has usually all these different flavors. The sauce makes the whole meal perfect and brings the dish together. The two sauces I use for the pasta is Alfredo and Marinara sauce. By far my favorite is the Marinara sauce any day of the week. My favorite Italian dish Baked Ziti. That is pretty much what I order every time going to Olive Garden. The cheese and the sauce make the whole dish so good. Of course can't help to get some wine with it too. That is what my story is going to be about. My combination of Baked Ziti with Moscato wine. Not sure if this is a weird pair, but this is mine.

It's Spooky Season
Ever since I was little Halloween was one of my favorite holidays. There are a couple of reasons why. Most of them are the typical reasons like just about everyone else. Like dressing up in the costumes and doing all the makeup. Makeup has always been fun for me to do. There are sometimes when can’t decide to be scary or cute. Another reason Halloween is fun to me is because of the haunted houses. Which is sort of weird since everything inside the haunted house does occasionally get me. Even decided that I would never go alone in one. Then started to think and wonder how did Halloween even start? I doubt a lot of people wonder why so then started digging for information soon after that. After doing lots of research this is what I found and the reasons was very interesting. It was actually dated back a long time ago with a certain group of people. There was a lot of information, but with this essay I just wanted to focus on the Celtic people at the time.

Confusion and Motivation

Creative to Leader
From a young age there was a creative side to me. There were many different hobbies I had which changed. It all started really with something simple as drawing. I would do just about anything that would come to mind. Most of the time it would have to do with nature. Roses were my favorite flower to draw over and over again. Then also some animals like wolves, horses, and random ones.Another creative aspect that I love is music. Throughout my whole school years choir was another outlet for me. Just singing would always but me in a better mood. All my troubles would just go away for the time being. As I was growing up trying turn both these things to more than just hobbies was a goal. All was said to me is, "Go to school,that will set you for life." I agree with that, but also wanted something else. Then e-commerce crossed my path.
