WHAT IS YOUR TOUCH STONE

MY DREAM: My Dream is to become a Doctor.
To go to Medical School, graduate and become a Doctor, and then further it by going for my specialty in Neuro, and become a Neuro surgeon. Which is another long ass 7 years added to my already 4 long years ahead, to get the higest level of respect in the society and among fellow Doctors.

TOUCH STONE: My touchstone is to be an acclaim Neuro-Surgeon Doctor.
So I can help others. I have flare for the brain and how it works. I have my bachelor degree in Neuroscience. I want to help people who are not in the position to help themselves at the moment not because they can't but because situation warrants them not to be able to. Example: sickness, disease and so on. What I can get from this position is position, class{social class}, respect, and comfort living. What I love best about it is the respect people in the community gives you when they know you are a Doctor especially if you are known to be the best of the best{Nuero or Cadio Doctors} The sweet center of the goal is that am patient and I believe that's a good attitude to have if one has to succeed.

MY ROLE MODEL is Dr. Jones.
Dr. Jones is a senior Neuro-Surgeon at Mercy Hospital. I admire him because of the way he carries himeself with prestige, and humor. He's highly repected and his opinion counts. He has the final say to ideas and every other Doctors and Nurses respect him to the core. He controls the 12th floor of the hospital because he owns it and that's where he does his surgeries. I want to be like him, and have what he has. Am aspiring for that goal and I won't stop at nothing till I get there. All I need is to stay focused. Whenever I come to work and I see him I use him as a point of contact to myself, that '' if he can do it, then I can also do it''. I say to myself I'll get there soon. That one day people will look up to me and my opinion will matter and count. Getting what one wants is something, sticking to it is another, patience, endurance, confidence, and positive thinking is so required for the dream to come true.

I spoke to Dr.Jones before, I told him I was finishing my pre-med and will soon go to medical school, and he was excited and happy for me. And he told me if I needed anything I should let him know if he would be able to help, that he would.

TARGET: My target is to be in that Operation Theater with scapel in my hand, number 10 blade, and so on with a head lying on my theater table ready for me to work on. Then to cut it open and work on it that would do it for me. The after feeling that I've saved someone today, I'll feel right that I' ve saved someone from dying from brain tumor. That's when I'll know that this is my dream. I've realized it, and am here to stay.

DREAM: To be a Neuro Surgeon
TOUCH STONE: To help others and gain Respect
ROLE MODEl: Dr Jones
TARGET: My name to be on the doctors progressive board, as one of the best Doctors

WHAT I LEARNT AND INSIGHTS I GOT

What I learnt about myself is that am a go getter, and am stopping at nothing, till it's done. I'll keep going cause '' I CAN DO IT'' I have gained to know how to get my dream, when to get it, how to get it, and ways to achieve it. It's by starting now. To make up my mind now, and that I can change my goal in life when I realize it's not working for me. Instaed of sitting there, trying to make it work, while time rolls fast by you. Time is going so change ur route and move on to something else closer to what you thought you want to be. Because the next step/level might be just right for you.

Optional. Activity you love

Haven't joined the class at week two. But I can blog about an out door activity I attended. It was a hot sunny day and the degree outside was in its 80's wao! what a nice day to go to the beach. I and my friends went to the beach and had fun. We placed a net pole of voley ball and we began to play voley ball, we had people on the beach who joined us and we made a team of three each and we played into the night, and we won them with the scores 8 to 5 points. It was intresting and we did'nt want to go home. We ate drank and told each other stories. It was an evening to remember.

WHAT IS YOUR PERSONALITY TYPE?

ISFP {Introverted, sensing, feeling, perceiving}
Quiet, serious, sensitive and kind. Do not like conflict, and not likely to do things which may generate conflict. Loyal and faithful. Extremely well-developed senses, and aesthetic appreciation for beauty. Not interested in leading or controlling others. Flexible and open-minded. Likely to be original and creative. Enjoy the present moment.

The insight I gained from figuring it out was that certain things were so true about me, the questions asked i could see myself doing some of them, and when the result came, it was so me. A good one would be that I am difficult to understand and that is so true about me. Most times I make it hard for people around me to actually understand me.

CHOCOLAT

It was a fun movie. It was very informative and highly helpful in a way that it makes one realize ones worth. Vienne thought she was hated by everyone which she was, but at the end of the day the hatred turned into love, and it ended up favouring her. She brought the whole town together and she even made the Mayor realize himself and change his mind towards her from bad to good, and he ended up eating the largest share off the chocolat and even slept in it, int that funny. Vienne broke a old traditional custom and gave them a new view to life.She was a strong woman and she had a curse following her from generations. She was able to break it and not let the wind of the north re-route her again. She was able to make her decision to stay behind and finally make that small town her home. However Vienne brought flavour to the town. They at first called it sin, but however it was unity she delievered. She was pleasant to all the towns people and very cheerful in giving. She made friends easily and welcomed all to her chocolate shop. I believe these attributes she had possesed were what changed her story. Whereby people started loving her and even enjoyed being around her and her shop.

She allowed Elizabeth to realize herself that she could overcome her husbands mal-treatment and do fine on her own, while she hadn't even realized her own self yet. Until she wanted to leave and her pot or vase of ashes broke, that was number one sign that she's here to stay and she's gat no where to go. Cause it seems to me the ash itself wanted to finally let go. Secondly Elizabeth reminded her what she had told her that made her fight back her husband and be strong, and that again made her realize that if I could be the one to tell this woman what to do and she did it, why should I be the one lacking this idea. That made Vienne realize her worth and how much she needed to stay behind, also her daughter don't want to leave that's another sign she refused vividly that she's not doing that journey thing anymore, cause she's tired of changing schools, and been insulted by peers and making new friends all the time. That was not pretty cool for Anuok anyways. She also had a reason to stay, her pirate{says Anouk} male friend came back for her, in the pretense of coming back to repair the squeaking door. You see that all signs are positively pointing towards her to stay. She knew it right there, and I believe seeing those wonderful people join hands and help coordinate baking her chocolate in that kitchen as she opened the door, gave her the completeness she needed to feel that really enforced her to stay, and she finally let go of the ashes into the thin air. It was a good sign of saying "Am thorugh running away from myself, now I have found myself, now I know me, I want to realize me and also to deal with me and my new turn around leave. No more to be running around towns, this is my last bus stop.

PROBLEMS

- Money
- School Degree
- No Family Support
- Discouragement from friends/family that it is not necessary to get all that luxury, because it is waste of money, and more so "all that gilters is not Gold" as the saying goes. They'll say get a moderate house and call it a day.
- Mentally I need to be prepared not to be afraid of water so as to be able to live on it for weeks or days.

FANTASY ANALYSIS

{1} INDISPENSABLE

What{1} Listening to music
{2} Viewing nature
{3} Doing aerobic excercise
{4} The workshop


Where
{1} The mansion house
{2}The yatch on sea
{3}School place

Who
The Musicians
My Family
The Commedian
The Athlete

{2} OPTIONAL BUT DESIRABLE

What: Learn to play Basket Ball on a ship/boat
Where: Going to Paris/Italy, Climbling the mountains
Who: Jack Bauer, and Martin Lawrence


{3} FRILLS
What The Auto workshop
Where My yatct. It would be amazing to actually own one.


{4}Well it would be okay still, because i'll be doing these things regardless it's on this special place or not, most remains the same whole thing i had been doing. My excercise routine dont cahnge, my viewing nature can only be different and new, but i still view nature everyday, at least some kind of view. Listening to music is part of me, it's just my day-to-day must do.

{5} I already have most of the elements. Celebrities around me I may not get, but I play basket ball in my compound anyways with my brother.

{6}I have my family, my school, the party place, but don't have the humongous mansion am dreaming of.lol

{7} Well what stops me from getting my Ideal day or my missing elements is basically"MONEY" Also me being a student, with huge loans am yet to pay off, credit card bills how on earth will I be able to afford that kind of luxury. I go to school everyday am not done with school i need my degree certificate to be able to get a good high paying job, for me to be able to treat myself in that manner. So until then I need those two things to land me to get my desired dream day/elements.

My Ideal Day

First thing first, when I wake up in my million dollar house, I'll brush my teeth, do some aerobic excercise. Am not big on breakfast so I just skip it, but when I do I make it myself . However; in this mansion am so going to be eating breakfast and I'm make it myself or maybe someone to serve me, a maid perharps. then I'll take a short hot shower, I'll put on my jeans and a sexy top or a dress, am will be so off to school, that won't change. What will change is that my mansion will be closer to school. I'll figure that out, whereby me driving long distance to school, won't be the case anymore. But I doubt it cause those kind of mansions lies far away from town.So I better be prepared for a longer drive now.lol. Will be in school through the afternoon, evening I get done receiving lectures. I drive back home, get busy with homeworks or get active depends mostly with who's home, but there's always someone home though. I'll like to go to church and sing to a large church congregation. I'll also love to have a fully auto workshop, so I can fix my truck and dont have to go spend thousands of dollars with the mercedes Benz dealers no more.lol I'll take a long ride, come back sit on the pouch outside by the lake, viewing nature. I'll sit there and be listening to my kind of music, which is my huge thing, a must do activity everyday. And chilling with my no alcohol pina collada glass in my hand, enjoying the nice breeze that says problem free, new beginning. After all that enjoyment, into the evening I'll move to the next enjoyment galore phase, yacht ride in the middle of the sea. I'll be there laying down, face up and just counting the stars, and trying to forget all my problems.
Then I'll drive back to my expensive sea side mansion , that's located near the waters where I can see the mountains and live on the water in a house boat if I choose to. I'll be in it for weeks or lets say days, because me and waters aint all that friends...lol I'll be in it and just relax back and feel the waves of the sea, the sound of it, the air that blows from it which is so different from the one you feel when you are on land. I want Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, and Yollanda Adams to be there to sing to me and Disney character Lizzy Maguire to be there aswell as commedian Martin Lawrence so he can make me crack up{laugh}. Along with my family and friends, my hair dresser has to be on board. Coby Bryant definately will be on board, he has to teach me how to play Basket Ball. I need Cheryl Crow to be there so she can sing some country song and put me to sleep. I can't just imagine my dearest actor Keifer Sutherland{known as Jack Bauer} to be on the sea ride, oh my God!!! I'll be the happiest on earth.
I'll go climbing mountains and bungie jumping. I might take a ride to paris and Italy, crazy isnt it. I'll have all the fun I can get by touring around and doing some shoping at my stop overs on land. When am back on my yatch the party continues, now i can go for days or a week just eating, sleeping and dancing and watching all this wonderful performers perform for me. When I get back on land I'll go watch some movies, or drive around at least after been sure my legs have not been eaten by sea sharks..lol. Then i come back home retire for the day check all doors make sure they are locked, check all appliances see if they are turned off and then I'll get some princess sleep and get my beauty rest.

Shaping Time

I'll spend my time staying at home after work and caring for my family{home} I'll cook, clean and watch T.V, I'll water the gardens and arrange stuffs.
Intresting! A million dollar in my bank account wao! great day sunny weather am feeling good right about now, my Jet is what am taking out today. Am flying around no destination at least let me get used to my mini plane common now, lol. When i get back, am cruising in my yatct because I know she's already getting mad at me that, Gaddamn you am ready to sail, I should have been the first to be taken out.lol

My Ideal Environment

My ideal environment would be married and living in a quiet neighbourhood filled with gradens and nature. Such as the mountains, caves or perharps, a sea view. Along with nice people, good hearted and friendly people. Maybe successful people. I can say rich and happy individuals is all I want around me, cause am one ideologically right!? lol I want people with positive energy, ideas, notion and "+" motion. People who will affect my life positively and not those who will bring me down in life.
Help from others will be good, such as connection to the right places, hook up with the right people and rightful ways of life. I want positive responses for my ideas, action packed people who is ready to explore and exploit with you. Respectful atmosphere, soothing and quiet environment. I want to be a teacher and a learner. I want to teach people what I know so they gain from me, while I learn from their experience and gain more knowledge.
I'll be loving, caring, productive and creative. Am not insecured and I don't need the significant other to be. Am trustworthy, independent filled with energy and can act weird at times. My mood changes depends on who says what and I want to have parks and luxury all around me.

Creating Your Cheering Section

Karl Popper: I can see that Ibi is a kind person, sweet at heart, patient and a good listener. Shares and she's happy to give. She's got lots of energy and she's considerate. She's got conscience and she's articulate with words, she elaborates on issues making sure you very well understand he plight/point.

Beyonce: Ibi's got a trembling sweet voice that will catch any audience attention to listen.She's not afraid to take the next step, even when she doesn't know what to do next. She dispise no one, and give people benefit of the doubt.

She love people at first sight and relate well with everyone. Above all she smiles to everyone, it doesn't matter who, and she's so caring and helpful.

Seeing Yourself as Others See You

I pick Karl Popper, he's a philosophist and a researcher, who believes science often errs, just like my father does. and he also believes that psuedoscience may happen to stumble on the truth. Also because he gave report of his own work in the philosophy of science and he's so, into conviencing the world that astrology isn't science. And that one could attract anything into one's life, just by using one's thought. Int dat amazing!!!.

I choose Angelina Jolie, because she's pretty, and so smart. Elegant is her middle name Tough is her last name. She's creative and self sufficient. Pretty strong for a lady. She's got nerves, but very adventourous, and she's gat faith and believe too. She stands tall, not afraid and can face anything and that makes her successful. That's exactly with my Mom. She handles practically anything I like that in her. Jennifer Lopez, Julia Robert Halle Berry are some other actresses I like dearly.

I choose Beyonce because she's got a voice like an angel just liike my sister. She's different, calm and classy. Well organized and respectful..

I choose Paris hilton because my friend acts like her, in a way that surprises me. She could be annoying at times, jealous and envious, but she's a good friend who stands to your resue in time of need.

Do one of the things you love from our in class activity. Blog about what you did and how you experienced it.

Well first of all I just joined this class on friday last day to add or drop classes, so I wasn't here for the first class meeting time, so I dont know any in class activity. But what I can share with you is the activity I did over the weekend, on Saturday the 5th of september 2009. I and my family members along with friends went on a boat cruise. It was fun and fun all the way. I loved the experience because water makes me feel calm, clean, happy and above all, the view of the water alone, makes me feel free. Some people were sea sick and they were given sea water concurtion. This is a kind of medication given to those who feel dizzy or sick while on board.
There were pictures taken lots of food and drinks, lots of snacks and fruits. We played games, such as monopoly, cards, Scrabbles and lots more. But music was the number one prirority of the day, and everyone danced and danced and danced for 4 hours, while the boat went off shore and back to shore all the way to the loading dock area where we were loaded into the boat from the beginning, and we all came down and wished it wasn't yet over. However; the most intresting part was that we had fun and fun had us.

What do you think are my graetest gifts/strengths?

My friends said my greatest gifts/strenghts are, am a very nice, kind and a cheerful giver. That I stand by people to help in the time of their needs, and that the little I have i share without regrets. Also, that I keep secrets and am a go getter, whatever i want I go get it and I dont stop at nothing. That I dont believe in No for an answer and that am very ambicious, I strive for something and until it's mine i don't relax. And am very blunt and staright forward, that I tell it as it is.

What did you think i would become when i grew up?

She said I loved constructing things so she normally say to me, you are an engineer/ architect in the making. Alsothat she shows her friends whenever they come around what I had previously put together if it hasn't been thrown away or destroyed, and that I was always happy when she does that because her friends will call me and show me my work and say wao! you did this and they give me a hug, or a gift you know something, and that puts a gracious smile on my face. She said i was good in keeping things, and hiding things. So as I grew up she made me be in charge of her room and even hide the room keys with me, so when my elder sisters and brother wants to go ramsack her room to take anything they cant get in, they ask me where mom's key was I tell them I sure dont know, she locked her room and left for work. My sister doubt me though she said I was closer to mom and that whenever mom gets home from work am the first person she's asking for, so she knows it's with me and I said no it's not.

What things did I love, what games did I like to play, what did you think was unique about me?

When I asked my mom this question she laughed, and I wondered why? She said she could remember when I was little, I used to watch her makeup and ask her to put on my face and she would apply lipstick on me. And that I was a tradition person always wanting us to travel to our village so i can see how they live there, it was such a different atmosphere from the city lifestyle.
I love poems she said and that i like to write. Even when it has no meaning or it means something she said i would just take a piece of paper and ink pen and just write and draw, and do all sorts of nonesence on papers. She said I used to play all over the house running and dodging my older sisters whenever they try to catch me to sit down and eat or take my bath, that the whole house will know it's bath time for me. She said because of my toys such as train, barbie dolls, hand game{king kong} and my pink hand bag that follows me to church, and everywhere I go, and my walkie talkie that talks to me, and that there was this kids laptop that shows graphics of animals and objects that no one could seperate me and these things, that i hardly want to eat, but snack on cookies and candies. This I could remeber though, I and my immediate sister and her friends used to play hide and seek, and I find them but they cant find me. They come to a point they start screaming Ibi, Ibi, come out we cant find you, and we no longer doing this game, i guess I was just smarter than they are. Laughs! I also remember I used to play outside the compound with sand. I will go and fetch water with a bowl, and pour into the sand and satrt molding a house with my foot inside the sand, i'll mould the sahpe of the house around my foot and remove my foot and there you go a house is built. Then with my hands i'll mold gates find sticks and insert into the ground like it's a fence and i'll plug flowers from my moms garden and put to beautify the sand home i just built and my little friends too are doing the same, then after we've finished we look at one another's house and determine whose house is the finest and most times it was mine.
My mother said I was unique in a way that i can read people's mind what they are saying just by paying attention to them talk. She said that we had a visitor one day and they where speaking another language and the mother asked her daughter to go bring her pen in her bag in the living room and she didn't mention bag for me to have had a clue what she sent her daughter, and i just stood up and I went staright to the living room and I brought her bag and she was so surprised, cause there was no way i would have known becuase of the language she had spoken. And above all, my mom said I was the only one that when she wanted to deliever me at the hospital, after she was having a hard time delievering me, she said she prayed to God that this baby I must and will have, maybe another one I wont have but this one I shall have her, and that three angels appeared and not long she was able to deliever me, so she thinks am unique and special, because of that.

What was I like in the first 5 years of my life

According to what my mother said, she said I was this adorable, gentle, patient and caring little girl. That when I was a toddler, I usually dont cry, but smile all the time, except when i was hungry then my cries could tear the whole house down. Also I was told that I was able to start walking at the age of one year plus, and I allowed friends and family members to carry me, without struggling. She then said that I was a good sleeper, until I turned three, then I was now talking little by little so I gave her trouble. Trouble in the sense that, what ever i want If i dont get it, I will cry my eyeballs off , throw myself on the couch or ground, hit my toys on the floor trying to get as much attention as possible, so they can give me what I just asked for and i continued till I was five years old, forcing my way through to get whatever I want. Sometimes I receieved spanking for that, and sometimes, she said she'll pet me and hand over whatever it is that i wanted, if it was something not dangerous that little kids could play with.
