Fast Food blog

               In my early childhood, fast food was not a major part of my life, it was more of a casual going out because my mom didn’t feel like cooking that night or she had to work late and my dad was on deployment. When I was younger I never ate hamburgers, well back then I called them “hambugers”, but aside from that I was addicted to chicken. It didn’t matter where it was from it could be chicken nuggets or even a chicken sandwich. Regardless I wasn’t the biggest fan of fast food as a child, what I was more interested in was the play pins and all the toys that would come with the meals, which sometimes depicted what type of meal I was going to get. An example of this for me was when the Pokémon movie came out in theaters, burger king released a limited series, I ate there almost every day until I finally got all the pieces of the set, I was a huge fan when I was about six, so of course my mom wanted to get me the set. Another thing that really played a big role into me eating at fast food was the fact that I traveled a lot as a child since my dad was in the navy, and we would always go visit family that lived in different states. As luck would have it, there was always a fast food restaurant so it was quite often the dinner of choice.

                Now fast food plays quite a small roll in my food choice. I try to make healthy choices and although I do enjoy a greasy hamburger every once in a while, I prefer a nice home cooked meal I can enjoy with my family. Not to say that I only eat salads, I still love steaks and chicken wings, but it can be made much healthier. Also I enjoy the comforts of home much more than a fast food restaurant, just enjoy that feeling of home while I eat. Another thing is that at home I can enjoy the peace and quiet serenity of home in comparison to the noisy cluster of people in fast food restaurants. I don’t shun fast food because it does help provide food for those who can’t afford appliances or are even homeless. The down side to fast food though is that it is extremely unhealthy most the time. To me now I see most fast food as more of a convenience thing rather than a reward. In all I try to avoid going to fast food places, but if friends or family decide that they want to go I’ll bite my tongue and go get a greasy burger.

Past, Present, and Future.

Throughout my life I’ve been to many places, being the son of a military child this was expected. I’ve lived all across the U.S, from Florida all the way to Hawaii. I was born in Gulfport Mississippi in September of 1993. When living in Mississippi, I discovered that I suffer from severe hearing loss in both ears; the doctors say it’s about 40% hearing loss. The majority of what I don’t hear though is only certain tones.  Other then that when I lived in Hawaii, I had the opportunity to attend 2 pro-bowl football games. Also I had taken part in what now seems like a horrible idea, but it was a rock war. Looking back now it makes me laugh, but during that rock war I had gotten hit with a rock in the eye, almost blinding me, but I got lucky and the rock was about three centimeters from cutting my retina. So in my past I have consider myself to be quit a lucky person, whither it be from injuries or the place in which I was living.

Currently, I am a fresh out of high school graduate attending OC. One of my favorite classes in high school was being a teachers aid for the special needs teacher. I love to hang out with friends and go to the movies. I also love to play video games in my off time when I’m not with my friends. As of now I live with my parents while I go to school. Also I just got a new puppy his name is Godzilla, even though he’s a Chihuahua. Since I attended an environmental science in high school, I learned a lot more about living a health life style and am now trying to live in a more sustainable way to where I can enjoy a nice long life. I love going to the gym or just even going for a jog, something about exercising is really mind clearing for me, so it’s an important thing for me to do often.

In the future I think I would like to work with special needs children.  After taking the class in high school for 3 years I could really see myself going to college to major in that field. I feel that I am able to work well with them because I have great patience and I just love working with them. In the future I would also like to see myself having a great life with a wife and kids. Another thing I would like to see me have in the future is a 1967 mustang, which has been my dream car since I was about twelve. Another event in my future would be me getting to attend a Steelers football game. If even half of those things took place in my future then I know that I have truly lived my dreams.
