Journal #11: What is the most spectacular place you have ever seen?

The most spectacular place I've seen would have to be the reservation I'm from. I've seen how Chicago and San Diego look, and both places are nice in there own ways but I love my home land. It's just the way the landscape is what makes me think it's so beautiful. The main town that is close is about seven miles away, so you know you can see the stars at night and the land is so peaceful. I would like to travel to see other places to see if there is another place more beautiful than where Im from, but untill then I would have to say where Im from is the most beautiful place there is.

Journal #8: How’s it going so far in this course?

Well this class is fun and I know how fun it can be, because I took this class in the summer of 2006. The teacher overall is a good teacher and she does want to help her students pass her class. As of right now, I'm enjoying the classand it's good and fun. I really got no bad points to put out there about this class.

Journal #7: Something I noticed about myself today.

When I woke up this morning,I just wanted to lay in bed all day. I was deep in my thoughts. Just thinking about being back on the rez, back home. Where I feel free and feel my bliss. As I was thinking I was thinking about why im here in Phoenix, and not at home. Then it came to me, like understanding a dream the next day, that I was doing my schooling for my family back home. So today I noticed I was more helpful, becuase of my thoughts in the morning.

A NFL player from the team the Buffalo Bills, Kevin Evertt, was playing in a game and made a tackle useing his head. This was a mistake in takling, because he used his head as his main source of pressure from the tackle by using his head, not the way to takle someone. While in the hospital he made movement and showed signs of walking again. Doctors say, "It's not unrealistic that he will walk out of the hospital."

Journal #5: Wiki Journal: My comments about what I learned.

The article that was just out of the norm was an article about Art. I know everyone want's to read the articles about the war on the other side of the world from us, the deaths that just may have happen, the worst weather to hit any where, and the other countries propblems. When I was reading the article Art comes from the Latin word ars, which means "arrangement." Art can comes in different types of form such as: writing, poetry, dance, acting or drama, film, music, sculpture, photography, illustration, architecture, collage, painting and fashion. I think art came bring people together and really get our minds off the problems were dealing with in our indivial lives.

Journal #4: Would you like to be famous?

Yeah, I would most definitely like to be famous. I really think being in the lime light can do more than people really imagine. If I was famous I would use my riches to help my people and give back to my Native community. Alwas wanting to help, that's the person I'am especially when it come to my Native people. I'm not saying famous people now and days do not help, it's just we still need help dealing with the struggle.

Journal #3: Write about a time someone dared you to do something.

There was this one time when someone dared me to take a snowboard at the local flea market. This was back in my hometown Gallup, because you know it does not snow here in Arizona. So, I did take the snowboard and solded it for thirty dollars. The only thing I regret was everytime I would go back the same man would keep on bugging me, and I played it off like it wasn't me. I beileve he moved back to where ever he was from because after a couple of weeks I never saw him again.

Journal #2: What are your strongest communication skills?

My strongest communication skill is my voice, I believe so. When I do youth conferences I do like to believe I'm reaching out and touching someone mentally. I love talking to people and meeting new people. A lot of my close friends and family members say I'm the Native American Chris Tucker. Just because in most of his movies he does a funny role and always seem to be talking a lot. So, I guess some times I talk to much, but understand I know how to listen as well. There's my other, if not strongest point of communication, is my listening skills. People love just to have someone listen to them for a change, and I do like helping people though their problems and all.

Journal #1: What's your real world goals.

My name is Kevin Begay and im Native American, Dine to be exact. My real goals are to help my Native people in any form. I want to become a foot doctor to help my people fight diabetes. I had family lose their legs due to war and diabetes. I want to become an activest to help my people though the struggle. In all round about, i just want to help my people though any cause, and I'll die for my people. To me that's saying it real than a motha (not mother).
