What make you happy, what are you passionate about? If you're passionate about something , if it makes you happy, and if you always look forward to an activity. You're passionate.

There  are three things that i'm always looking forward to, drawing, writing, and reading. Somewhat  cliche,I know, but being creative is something that comes naturally to me. I'm an imaginative person, I can make up a fantasy story right on the spot. I give thanks to all my hobbies. I take pride in my creativity, and like visiting DIY (Do It Yourself) sites, learning and adding to my collection of tricks and skills. 

List hobbies (and things i like to do)
 *Drawing   *Painting
*Tumbling  *Singing in the shower (lol)
*Reading     *Designing shoes/clothes
*Writing      *Cooking

I don't always have time for everything, so i just set up mini project for each categories. One week I'd work on finish reading a book, and the next working on mastering a new recipe, and maybe the week after that I'll work on a mural on my wall. I guess it's a game of pacing yourself, if you're interested in more than one thing. If you do something you like you'll be at peace of mind (at least while you're doing your hobby). 

I do what I like, and what I like keeps me busy. Finishing my schoolwork is always my first priority, but once I have an hour or so of free time, it's creativity time. Getting to my point, when you're a teen and are about to apply for a college and or a job, you want to seem well rounded, not fat, but that you were very involved in in-school activities and out-school activities. Employers/ colleges not only want to know what clubs you are in in school. They also want to know what you do with your free time, if you have hobbies, if you play an instrument for fun, if you're involved in a church related club. They want to know what you do with yourself when you don't have work to do.

Do pets aid a persons mood, from sad to content? I think pets bring joy not only to the owner but also the people around it. My family is a great example; two months ago we got a puppy (Pictured at left). It wasn’t just his adorable face that makes you smile, it's his whole personality. We decided to name him Shirley Holmes, derived from the infamous Sherlock Holmes, because he was very observant of his surroundings. Shirley is playful no matter what time of day, he won over everyone’s' hearts. When i say everyone, i mean EVERYONE. My mum takes him to work with her (a Coin Laundry), and he's adored by every single customer who comes through the door. Since Shirley is only a baby, people tend to carry him, he feels soft and it's just like literally holding a bundle of joy.
            There's something about having a pet, or playing with someone else’s. There's a certain calm that comes over you when you pet one, and a sense of childhood when you play with one. It's not only dogs, any pet that you can be interactive with, probably not a goldfish due to its boundaries. If you were to ask me would I prefer a dog or a thousand dollars, let’s just say I’ll be working very hard to buy some chew toys.
            There are of course people with irrational fear of animals; maybe they had a bad experience. Coming near a dog (or animal) right down scares them. I think they should one, get help, or two begin to enjoy living with a pet and get over their fear. Also, people who are allergic to dogs (or the certain type of pet they want), if their allergies aren't too bad they should often visit a friend with a domestic pet, and play with them, but wash their hands well after words. Now for the people with harsh allergic reactions, they should a Tomagotchi or an online virtual pet. The idea of playing with a pet is still there though if virtual.
