Entry #2: Say bye-bye to cyberbullying

 Cyberbullying happens everyday all over the world. Have you ever been a victim or cyberbullying?

Everyday someone is cyber-bullied or is cyberbullying someone. Why people think it is okay to treat someone like that I have no idea. Many people across the world have even ended their own lives due to constant bullying. 

Take the story of Amanda Todd for instance. She was a young girl who had made some unwise choices and was bullied online continually from schoolmates and people she hardly knew. She endured harsh treatment for months and months to the point where she had severe depression, cut herself, and ultimately it led to her death. Amanda Todd was only 15 years old. She was so young and still had so much life to live and because of some rude and hateful people, because of their words, a young girl took her life. Not one person ever stood up for her. 

I would hope that all of us would have the courage to say something if we saw someone being bullied online. It may be just the thing someone needs. You could be that one person that makes a difference in someones life and could ultimately save a person's life knowing that there is a friend out there that cares. Show that you care and be the friend they never thought they would have. #stopcyberbullying

Entry #1: Hey blogger buds

So, I do not have tons of experience blogging but I did spend a semester at school practicing blogging for my English 101 class. That definitely doesn't make me a pro but I am now starting to get the hang of posting! I have learned to not hate blogging so much but it still isn't my favorite thing to do in my free time.I do actually enjoying reading other blogger's posts but whenever I post I feel like my content and style of writing is not interesting to other readers. It could be me just being too hard on myself!

I have gone over three blogs to see how other people write and here are my thoughts of what I saw! :)


The first blog I went through is actually a favorite of mine! She is a mommy blogger that actually lives in here in Phoenix, AZ. Alexa Jean Brown is a mommy in her mid 20's who is a health and fitness fanatic and a fashionista. She has inspired thousands with her motivating posts. Scrolling through her site keeps me motivated to get in shape. Sometimes I feel like I am too busy to work out or take the time to eat healthy but then I see that she is a working mom that has so much on her plate and yet makes time to take care of herself. If she can do it so can I!!!

The second blog I explored was that of Kristy Wicks. Her life revolves around decorating, shopping, gardening, and her friends and family. Her blog is filled with colorful and gorgeous photos of her home and decorating ideas. She is an inspiration to people because she reaches out to the penny-pinchers and the splurgers. Many interior decorators have such an expensive taste that the average American couldn't afford. Kristy changes it up by finding items at flea markets and consignment stores. It showed me that I can have a gorgeous and well put together home and not have an empty wallet by the time I finish.

The last blog that I skimmed over was a sports blog. I am not going to post anything about what all I read. But feel free to read through and tell me your thoughts or interesting thoughts about what you read in the blog.

Hello there mates!

Well hello there lovelies! My name is Alexandria Renee Penner. You can call me Penner, Al, Al-pal, Aly-girl or whatever you feel like calling me! I am a fun and outgoing 19 year old (soon to be 20!). You can pretty much always find me outside hiking, rock climbing, playing tennis and the list goes on. So, I guess you can say I am an exercise freak! I enjoy spending time with my wonderful family and my beautiful 4-month-old daughter, Peyton. God, family, and friends are the most important things in my life. I have a huge heart for people and love to get to know people on a deep level! <3 

As I said above, I really enjoy activities that are outdoors! My real passion is tennis. I have played ever since I was 4 years old. During high school I won 3rd in state and I used to be ranked top 8 in the southwest of the United States. Tennis was my life but I soon got burnt out after 16 years of several hour lessons everyday!

 My glory days are over now. My time is spent working at an OB/GYN office (WOMEN ALL DAY LONG), going to school, and taking care of my little one! These may not sound like fun tasks but they are important to me in pursing my goals. I hope to graduate from GCC with my BSN (There is an RN to BSN bridge program offered). After completing my BSN, I hope to further my education and get my masters. I have a passion for ICU patients and to be able to become an ACNP (Acute Care Nurse Practitioner) is a real dream of mine! It will take lots of time, effort, and sacrifice but the end goal will be so worth it!

Hope you enjoy getting to know me and who I am! :) See you later!
