Alcoholics

People don't realize how drinking can affect someones life. They don't realize it until it happens to them. People who think drinking is an amazing thing and that it gets rid of their problems is wrong. Little do they know is that it can cause them to get this disease that is incurable unless you stop drinking and it is easier said then done. I know all of this because of experience. I have two alcoholics in my family. My dads dad was an alcoholic but unlike many others he decided that his family was more important than drinking. But on the other hand my dad was not this smart. He chose drinking over his family. many people don't realize how much pain this can put on someone especially someone my age. He has gotten more than four DUI's and he has been in and out of jail. My parents divorced when I was six or seven and then we moved to my grandparents house. After about six years after that we had moved back with my dad because supposedly was "better" but after a couple years he had went back to how he used to be. So we went back to my grandparents house. We have moved quit a bit. But what people don't see about me is that it puts a lot of thought on someones mind. it gets you thinking does he really care? Does he really like drinking more then seeing and talking to his own kids? Well I have come to a conclusion that he does like drinking more than being with his kid. He didn't even come to my eighteenth birthday party because he was going to "scout fields" (for goose hunting) I haven't seen my father since about the end of august, I haven't even talked to my dad since then either. The past time he went to jail we wrote letters to each other. He told me he was going to stop drinking and get sober so we could do things with each other like any other father and daughter would do. After he got out of jail he went into this second home thing like an inpatient treatment. He was sober for a little more than six months. But after his parents left for Florida he went straight back to how he used to. All I can tell all of you who think drinking is amazing and all that take it carefully and don't let this happen to you. I'm not against drinking I just know how painful drinking can be to others. Don't let it get this far where you cant get better. Drinking also changes the way a person is. My dad was always an outgoing fun person.

Criminal Minds


Criminal Minds is so interesting and so easy to get hooked on.When I first saw the commercials for the show I did not think it was a very interesting show. I always loved to watch NCIS and didn't think any other show was as good as this show.

Criminal minds is basically a show about not only criminals but it is about cases and how they solve them and what the general steps are to solve and find the suspect. This show helps me realize that this career is actually hard not only mentally but emotionally.
Garcia who is the computer girl. I give credit to her because she has to be so smart with computers and know how to hack peoples computers and how to figure pretty much everything about a person or a criminal, she has access to really anything she wants. She and Morgan sometimes act like they are dating but I don't think they are. She is a very funny outgoing kind of women. She often get overwhelmed by all of the crimes especially with little kids.

Reed he is a smart guy and he has an imaginative mind. He is good with figuring out who and what is causing the crime he helps the FBI talk to the suspects and the criminals. He doesn't shoot his gun often he is often just with the others figuring out where or what is causing the crime. He is often scared of what will happen to others its almost like his team is his family.
