Extroverts & Introverts
I believe that I am an extrovert. I think that introverts have it easier because they don't have to worry about people & they mostly have to focus on what is important to them. If everyone was an extrovert this could possibly be a problem because everyone would try & be a leader but there would be no followers. If everyone was an introvert, this would also be as problem because people would rarely interact with each other & no one would ever take charge so nothing would ever get done. I prefer to have extroverts as friends because I think they'd be more fun to hang out with where as an introvert would not talk very much & may not want to hang out very often. Extroverts are better leaders because they can talk to more people. Introverts might be better writers because they spend a lot of time by themselves, giving them time to think more. Either could be a good neighbor, some people like to get to know their neighbors, in which an extrovert would be good, but others just like their neighbors to be respectful & quite, in which an introvert would be good. Extroverts would make better teachers because they would talk to the students more & be more of leaders. Extroverts & introverts matter a lot because they make up who we are & give us a more diverse society.

Your Living Conditions as a Child May Be Detectable In Your DNA for Life
Epigenetics- the study of heritable changes that occur without a change in the DNA sequence
Examples of such changes might be DNA methylation or histone deacetylation, both of which serve to suppress gene expression without altering the sequence of the silenced genes
three interesting thing I've found in this article were that the geneticist name was Snoop Dog, that
future research could peg where certain methylation differences are associated with specific diseases, & they found that 1,252 methylation differences were associated with socio-economic circumstances in early life while just 545 were associated with socio-economic circumstances in adulthood.
I do not see this in my family.

Deep Sea Amoebas
This article was very interesting because it told you how scientist study under sea life.
What is the Mariana Trench? Where is it located?- The Mariana is the deepest region on Earth. It is located in the Pacific Ocean.
What are xenophyophores? Xenophyophores are single-celled animals exclusively found in deep-sea environments.
How are the researchers able to capture such great images on the deep water camera? Researchers are able to capture great images on the deep water camera by luring sea floor animals to the camera with bait then recording with with drop cameras. Tuesday, October 18, 2011
My road, my path, my journey.
My road is occasionally littered with construction. For the most part it is smooth and easy to travel, but there are times where it gets a little messy. My close friends & family are traveling this road with me, & make my journey much more happy & bearable. I don't have a specific, set destination yet in my life. Although overall, I would just like to be happy. At the end of my road, hopefully I will have my own home, family, be a psychologist, open up my own bakery, & write a book. Some roadblocks that may try to stop me are me doubting myself, money for collage, or me not trying hard enough. I can over come these roadblocks by saving up my money and getting scholarships, thinking positive, and trying my hardest.

Forgiving, but not forgetting .
We've all had other hurt us in our lives. Whether is was something they said to us, about us, or something they did to us. The pain is normal to feel, but we can't let it affect our lives forever. If someone has done you wrong, you shouldn't waste your time dwelling on it & being upset over it, they should. To move on from a bad experience with a person you must forgive them. Sometimes we feel like people aren't deserving of our forgiveness when really forgiving them is more beneficial to us then it is to the one that hurt us. Just because you're forgiving someone doesn't mean you have to let that person back into your life. Forgiving someone is more about coming to peace with yourself about what happened. It's saying to yourself "What this person did to me is wrong, but its over now, I'm done worry about it. I'm going to learn & grow from this & move on." Once you do this, you can finally be happy with yourself & your life.

Thought for the day: Life Law 6
I think the lens was very relevant to me. I often use the "The Authority Lens" "The Victim Lens" "The Hate Lens" & "The Safety Lens" I also think that I can be very close minded & let the tapes influence my thoughts to the point where I don't give people a chance anymore. I think other people do that too. You are so quick to judge people based off your past experiences in life, that you never give people a chance, & you end up shutting people out or pushing them away. But you do have the power to change all those things. You just have to change your perceptions on life.
