Average Day in the Life of Jaedyn



Growing up my grandpa who we called "Papa" was more like my dad than my biological dad. My Papa was an amazing man who had a great sense of humor brought and joy to my day. I loved every moment I spent with him.  Some of my fondest memories included him taking my sister Endy and I to McDonald's before school, getting to have a talk with him in the hospital when he was really sick, and our trips to Dairy Queen.

One of the reasons that I viewed Papa as my dad was he cared so much about my sisters and I. He would do anything for us no matter what.  He inspired me to do great things and offer kindness to all. Papa was the type of guy that would tell you exactly how he felt.  He was brutally honest.  He always told me that he would be there for me regardless of what was going on.  He didn't understand my dad's actions but never put him down.

My Papa passed away on September 01, 2015. On the day he died my sister and I were both at my dad's house when my mom called Endy letting us know that she was picking us up from Hy-Vee at 4:30 pm.  I can remember thinking that something bad just happened.  When my mom arrived and told us the news of Papa's passing I was devastated.  I thought, "why now?"  To this day I miss the man who taught me to believe in myself and be proud of who I am particularly with the color of my skin.

Hi, welcome to my blog. My name is Jaedyn. This blog is about an average day in a teenage girls life. My family is a big part of who I am. Like many kids these days my parents are divorced which has it's perks but also it's disappointments. My parents divorced when I was young and pretty much all I've known is them in two separate homes. My mother is a strong and independent woman. She can be a little crazy sometimes overreacting about little things like the time I spend on my phone. Often times she says, "Jaedyn all you do is sit in your room and stare at your phone." When she's really disappointed with my sister and I she swears like a sailor!!  We both know that she'll get over it and ask us what she needs to do to make it right.   My father is a strange man.  He doesn't really trust my sister and I with stuff. There was a period of time that he wouldn't give us his phone number and instead call us from a private number. When my sister and I...

Texting while driving

Texting while driving project Hey guy's I'm going to be sharing about an important issue that is going on in today's society. Texting while driving is a big problem because loved ones are dying and people are getting into accidents. I believe that texting while driving is dangerous. Distracted driving causes harm to families, friends and other people. There are statistics that show that many people are effected by texting while driving. Texting while driving must stop. It’s a problem among drivers young and old. According to the source, The Dangers of Distracted Driving , "Just under 3,500 people were killed in distracted driving accidents in 2015, and another 391,000 were injured" ( Teen Safe Protecting Your Most Valuable Treasure). Based on these texting and driving facts, it’s clear that distracted driving is a huge problem facing our society. I feel like there should be stronger laws put in place. People all over the world are dying from this issue and ...
