Asher, Goddess of Happiness Optimism and Wealth


 
a)The name of my goddess is Asher.
b)Asher is the goddess happiness, optimism and wealth.
c) Her sacred animal is the golden retriever.
d) She doesn't fight because she is always happy with everything. She does, however, try try to make everyone happy.
e) She has brunette hair and golden eyes. She wears purples and blues to symbolise wealth. Asher always has a smile on her face and her hair is streaked with gold from the sun.
f) When, and if, Asher gets angered then she always tries to be very optimistic. If she does get extremely angry she just makes the people happy and optimistic about everything. It's not a punishment but 9 times out of 10, they stop annoying her.
g) Asher did fall in love once. It was the one time she had ever been heart broken and pessimistic. She was in love with Apollo. Asher loved the heat of the not-so-sun-god. Apollo was known to have lots of mistresses back then but Asher thought she could change him. When she found out he was still having affairs she wanted to find all the women he had been with. When she did she turned them into the only thing she could think of that was happy and still living, golden retrievers.

About Me:)

Hey! I'm Ashley Bryant! I'm fourteen years old and I am a freshman at Carbondale High School. I play basketball, volleyball, and softball. Started young... Five years old when I started basketball and softball. Besides sports, my social life reloves primarily around friends and family. I have a brother and a sister. My mom and I are close. Most of my friends play sports, like me, so during our seasons together we get really close, too. I love to read and listen to music. I am reading a book by Sarah Dessen, that I am falling in love with, currently. It's called Along for the Ride. It's kind of about high expectations from parents, and really just wanting to do your own thing. Sound fimilar? I thought so too.
My initilal thoughts about reading The Oddssey are that I've read it before at my junior high and I really liked it. I just hope we go into more detail with it.
