Well lets see by being a passive person , i can sit here and think about just more then one thing to do today if i were brave. But the one thing i would do today if i were brave would stand up for myself the whole entire day, to the people i come into contact everyday, and the people in my life, i think i would do it in a sense of past situations where i would wish i wasnt so passive or i was scared to say what i really wanted to say, even sometimes wanting to scream on the top of my lungs what my true blunt opinion is . I think being passive, keeps alot of things bottled up that you wish you could have that bravery that aggressive personalities have. One specific situation that i would do if i were brave is state my opinion to a certain person and finally saying if you dont like what i think or if you completely dont want to accept me for me then, goodbye and its your loss.I am a very strong opinionated person but i seem to lack and chicken out at the moment when i am confronted at the moment and i always kick myself and knowingly stay quite and become passive . Its like when strong aggressive personsalities challenge me i become this other weak, quite person, when i am strong, loud and very opinionnated person. I dont know how that works, but it does. As i get a little bit older i can see that part of my personality really wants to shine out but it cant completely come out yet. But i guess thats the whole part of growing,slowly but shirley maturing and knowing exactly what you want and taking no for an answer. So for all the times, where ive been quite,frustrated, and regreting for not taking charge and saying what i really think and not thinking of what others think and if they will take it wrong, or have there feeling hurt, and fearing i could lose a certain relationship with a person for stating what i truly think. It would be something that would relieve everything that i had bottled up for years. To me it would be the bravest thing i would do in my life and i know in reality i could not obtain that much bravery in a day. I would have plenty of people very upset, but i hope to be able to obtain that bravery little by little so that i can have that passive fearful side of me go away in the long run.

Blog #4 Scent in history

I think the most significant scent in the whole life span of the 21 years that i have lived is my mothers scent. Since i can remember my mother use to work nights for years, and when ever she would have to work i clearly remember going into her room and being able to smell the scent of my mother on her night gown and bathroom. In a sense it was a comforting scent to me at the time because i would hate saying goodbye to my mother as she would leave everyday at 3pm. As ive gotten older that scent is the same, and i may not pick up her nightgown anymore as she leaves.But as i come across this scent now its significance that it had when i was little and that comfort is still there when i smell it. Now that i think about it i believe that no matter how older i get i believe that specific scent will represent my saftey zone, and my childhood . If you think about it a scent is one of the six senses that i believe is the most important, because with a scent you can tell so much by it wheather it could be in a survival situation or the scent of a scenic surrounding like the beach, mountains, or national park. Scent is also a key factor in any type a relationship with a person wheather it be a significant other,mother and father ,sibling. or grandparent. Many memories can be built around a specific scent that is a memory chip in a sense to a person had a event built around it. Thats why to me my specific scent that has been engrain in me is the scent of my mother because of the fact that i was growing my both parents worked full time and they had to take turns to raise my sister and I. We never had a stay at home parent around,because of the fact that my parents had to work very hard to give my sister and I everything we needed and not grow up without the basic necessities we have in the country because they came from a thrid world central american country.But to this day i still hug my mother and my age and still smell her scent and feel that sense of comfort and warmth i felt when i was five years old, and i hope i my children will have that sense i had as a child but because of the fact that i will have the luxury of spending all the time in the world with them and i can dedicate my undivided attention to them.
