Welcome

     My name is Cachzmiera, most people prefer to call me Caz; I welcome you to do the same. Many of the things I enjoy in the world of literature  are poetry, short stories, and fictional novels related to social issues in everyday lives (dealing with loss, addiction, and mental illness).  My favourite authors of these topics are: Amy Reed, Ellen Hopkins, and Ava Dellaria. I have been through a lot it the past year of my life so I would love to write about how to overcome some of the things I had to face to possible helps others through their own issues.

       In the video 'Grit' by Angela Lee Duckworth, Angela explains how one person can be a genius but not have the effort to obtain the goal they will never reach it. Angela explains that 'grit" is the work and the reminders they put into to it every single day reminding themselves though now may be difficult the end goal will be a worth while outcome. I relate to this due to the fact, my main goal is to reach happiness in my own life.  Although this goal seem almost impossible in this day and age, if I wake up every day and at least try to make an effort towards my goals the goals are that much more closer. Over all this Ted Talk was a very inspiring experience and thoroughly enjoyed it.

  1. This blog is looking good Caz. I agree that writing is a good outlet for you and I know that you have the creativity and passion to put some important thoughts on paper. Congratulations on getting this done in a timely manner. That makes my work easier.

    Technical issues - Canadian spelling "favourite". You're overusing semi colons and colons (we'll do a lesson on this later) try a good old conjunction "I've been through a lot SO I would like...." "The goal at the end of their own main goals" sounds awkward. Reminders reminding, try not to repeat words. My main goals is to successes in happiness??? Both goal...should be plural. I know it sounds like I am being picky, but I am just being thorough. Talk to me if you don't understand how to make the revisions.
