My Blog experience

I have had many experiences with stereotypes in this blog most of them have been about us in Mccool and do not many have been about New York. The stereotypes are mostly about rednecks here and stuck up people over there. The rural and urban differences are great we are rural here and they are urban there well well obviously. I met alot of new people with this website and all of them good. I'd like to meet some more people over there in New York. You guys over in Ny probably have different perspectives than us here and i would like to know what they are. The writing was boring but the outcome was entertaining.

Blogger Experiences

What I think of stereotypes after blogging is that I do not believe all of what I hear. I used to believe some of the things, and now with talking with kids from New York I think that kids from New York are no different than kids from Nebraska. I think that Rural areas and Urban areas are about the same except that rural areas have less people and urban areas have many more people. After doing the blogger I still think that I would live in a rural area because I like to know everybody in the area. What I thought of meeting new people on the blogger is that it was cool to learn how people from other areas act and how they are at writing. I also liked the way that I was able to see other peoples perspectives from other areas. After doing the blogger I was able to notice that my writing has changed alot from when I started.

The Life Of The Blog!

Sorry, I can't get my font color to change...

I found out that not all stereotypes are true about people. Just because we are from different places. Stereotypes make you stop and think if most stereotypes are true. Stereotypes are easier to know about people in high school.
In my opinion I think urban would be better just because there are more activities and jobs. It would be much easier for teens to get jobs. I also love living in Rural towns just because you get to know everyone. People are much more friendly then people in urban place. Meeting new people was more of a new thing for me. I use to be a shy person when i talk to people but now i know i don't have to be so shy because i know someone will like who i am. Writing has became much easier for me now that i know people out there are actually reading it and liking what i write now I'm not so paranoid about what I write and what people will think about my papers. Writing is much easier knowing people like my papers.

My Amazing Experience

There were a lot of stereotypes that went back and forth between our two towns. Such as, we thought you guys were stuck up and found out you guys were not and found out that you guys are the same as us. You guys probably thought we were rednecks and that is true to an extent.
Rural and Urban was another great part about this past semester. When we talked about our own towns it seemed like we were mostly on the same page and we do mostly the same thing when it comes to teenagers that is. When you guys put up where I'm from poems I could picture all the things you guys said.
Meeting new people was the best part about this experience. I love meeting new people and I love meeting you guys. You guys have changed my thought of everything and I was very happy to meet you guys.
Writing changed me because I knew that you guys were watching and reading everything I wrote. Now that I have an audience I wrote my best and I just wanted everything to be the best but also be myself. You guys also helped me get all my thoughts out and help me with everything I needed help with. You guys have made me open my mind up and get everything out. Thank you guys so much for everything you guys have done for me.

My Experiance

What i think about stereotypes well i think that some of them are not true.Like the ones that people say about big cities, like they there are all stuck up and i do not think that is true at all. And the stereotypes that people think about small towns are some what true. and some what not true. Like when people say we are hicks i don't really think that is true. From what i hear about rural and urban areas well i think that they have some of the same things that we have. Like we have everybody knows everybody by just looking at them or by telling what their personality's are some times they are the same as ours and some times they are not. My writing has changed a tone since we have been exchanging writing on the blog. I have been doing a lot better with my writing. Like i get comments on how i should write the next piece or how i should fix my piece and that is really help full.

My Experience

My view is really different about people in New York since I talked to them. I know not all people in New York are stuck-up and rich and many students are just like me. I have benefited from this project in many ways. I think I don't judge people as much now and my writing has really changed. I have seen so many writers on the blog with so much potential that I strive to be like them. I have thought more about being rural and urban and even though we live in different environments we are the same in many ways. I noticed some people talk about going to the river and I go to the river and swim all the time. My writing is more detailed and organized since the blog. I have seen how other people write and they inspire me.

I Am From

I am from heaven up above
I am from the 8th floor in NYC
I am from across the street from the bodega.

I am from "When We Get Married" and "Gypsy Woman"
I am from salsa & merengue
I am from beautiful women & gallant men.

I am from the energy that flows within
I am from Sunday school to Youth group at church
I am from we love Him because He first loved us.

I am from scoldings & lectures
I am from wisdom & strength
I am from everything pure & lovely.

I Am...

I am from the gray house on Townsend st
I am from the yellow tulips
I am from the soccer cleats on the front porch

I am from the cookie batter in the kitchen
I am from NCIS and AIM
I am from the new paint in my room

I am from basketball and soccer
I am from the pink razor cell phone
I am from the big brick school called Beacon High School

I am from the big family that I don't know what I'd do without
I am from my brother and sister who I am so much alike
I am from my grandparents who love to spoil

But most of all I am from parents who provide me with much love!

':.-.:' where im from ':.-.:' by zesha ♥

I am from the rainbow in the sky
The wind that moves so far so fast
From the clouds that hover way up high
The remembrance of humans' past

I am from the grass down there on the ground
The flowers that grow so tall
From the beat of nature's sound
A bird in it's nest shouting out in call

I am from the trails in the woods
The creatures that climb and or crawl
From the place that many others have stood
The color of leaves when they fall

I am from pride in humans' eyes
The animals out in the wilderness
From the hunters out there in disguise
The orange peel and it's bitterness

I am from many places many others have been
Many settings where many others will be
From the colors and shapes many others have seen
Many people and objects many others will see
