Raeanna's ENG101 Blog

After listening to the Podcast, ' Status Update ', I found myself reflecting on my own life to see if I too was caught up in the superficial things such as likes, comments, and follows. It is easy to say that the girls in the Podcast are way too focused on the opinions of others when it comes to the comments and likes but as I took a deeper look at myself, I found that I relate to those teenage girls more than I would like to admit. When the girls talk about how they feel good when other girls comment on their pictures or more specifically their selfies, I can relate. I may not post with the intention of wanting other people to comment but it does feel nice when other girls take the time to let you know that they think you are pretty. Another thing that I found interesting was the unspoken rule of commenting that the girls in the Podcast mentioned. When I am on Instagram, I will only comment on the pictures that my close friend's post.  And it is almost expected t...

The summer of 2016,  I went on the trip of a lifetime. I traveled to the Dominican Republic to help serve ' Del Corazon de Jesucristo ' a non-profit Christian ministry.  A doctor and his wife from my church, have a medical, sports, and education organization in a small town called El Catey in the Dominican Republic.   These are pictures of the campus which began as a dream in a little shack and grew to this amazing campus. The property includes a pristine baseball field that was made possible by grants given by the Arizona Diamondbacks Organization, classrooms, a covered pavilion, and a medical clinic.  Dr. Steve and Julie Dorsey welcomed a group from my church to help run a Vacation Bible School for a week. Our team joined young men from North Carolina, New York and Hawaii who were there for the summer to run a little league program for the summer.  The mission of our trip was to share the love of Christ with the chil...

In the busy life I live, I've never had enough free time to spend reading blogs. Therefore I had a very limited knowledge of blogs.  After taking time to study the different types of blogs, I know hold a different view and appreciation for them. There are so many blogs that can appeal to many different people. In fact, there are blogs about almost everything. I found while researching blogs that popular blog topics include, Lifestyle, Popular trends, and Politics. Like many people my age, I spend the little downtime that I have on social media apps checking on what my friends are up to and liking funny animal videos. However, after researching blogs, I decided that instead of spending time liking pictures or videos, I should use the time reading more useful blogs. While researching blogs, I decided to look to see if one of my favorite authors had a blog and discovered that she did.  Katie Majors is an American who at the age of 18 decided to move to Uganda ...

Hi everyone, My name is Raeanna Perez but my friends and family call me Rae. I am 18 years old and am an Arizona native. You can usually find me with my best friend Maddie eating, shopping or on a road trip. I have known Maddie for my whole life! My uncle married her aunt before we were born and we share cousins so whether we like it or not, we will always be connected. Being spontaneous is one of my favorite things about our friendship. Two weeks ago we went to Sedona and went on a Pink Jeep tour , It was such an amazing experience. We took the Scenic Rim tour and hiked to the top of a mountain. As we were getting ready to head home we made the decision to get matching tattoos.  My biggest pet peeve is when people crack their necks however, one of my biggest passions is helping children in third world countries. Twice a year I go pack food for Feed My starving Children, which is a non-profit christian organization that provides nutritious food for children around the wo...
