-Unlike the Disney Cinderella story we all know and love, in the original story Cinderella goes to the dance twice. The first time, the maid impresses the Prince during the dance but has to go home before midnight as that is the limit of the magic.

-After she goes home, the Prince goes crazy as no one seemed to know who the mysterious girl was. So, as they hold another ball/dance, the Prince orders his soldiers to put glue tar on the lower steps of the stairs, so her shoes would get stuck and he would find out who the girl was.

-Like the first dance, when the sisters came home, they mocked the maid and did not realize how much fun she was actually having.

 -The King ordered the soldiers to take the golden shoe around the entire kingdom trying to see who would fit into that shoe. Many women tried hoping they would fit into the shoe.

-When they got to the house of the Cinder-Maid's father, the two oldest girls tried he shoe on but was too small for both of them. 

-This is crazy, the older sister wanted to be the future Queen, so we went upstairs to cut one of her toes off in order to fit into the shoe. 

-The Prince noticed the trail of blood as they were riding the horse back home and asked the father if he had another daughter. The step-sisters replied saying Cinder-Maid but the prince gave her a chance she was also of noble blood.

-The shoe fit and they lived happily ever after. 

-It would be a lot of fun to give a little twist to stories suck as Cinderella or other Disney films.

Introduction to my life

  Hello and welcome to my first blog! My name is Taeam Kang and I will be taking you all on a trip down my life. I first came to the University of Oklahoma to major in Microbiology, Pre-Dental. I enjoyed the field of dentistry and made the effort the past three years to work and get as many shadowing hours and experience as possible. However, this past summer I had a change of heart and changed my major to Pre-Pharmacy in hopes to further my education in pharmacy school. My career goal is to become a head pharmacist for Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals. The reason I decided on Pre-Pharmacy rather than Pre-Dental is my hands strangely shake constantly and I decided it’d be best if I did not choose the hand-on surgery route. It is not a serious condition as one can barely even noticed without staring hard at my hands, but I will entrust the field of dentistry to those more qualified. I currently live with six of my friends in a house near campus. My family consists of my mother, step-father, an

(Image Information: Ultimate Vessel for Supreme Diety  https://www.reddit.com/r/NanatsunoTaizai/comments/7ir36v/ultimate_vessel_for_supreme_deity/) In the beginning of time, a big bang created a world split between heaven and hell. Each world was ruled by all-mighty entities; Aura, the goddess angel of heaven, and Amadan, the demon king of hell. For years, the two rulers raged war upon each other, creating chaos for centuries to come. Between the two opposite worlds existed a world of man, who found themselves constantly in the crossfire in the war between heaven and hell.  The two rulers also had children of their own. First born son of Amadan was named, Zaratras, who became the most notorious and feared soldier in the demon king’s army. First born daughter of Aura was named, Yama, who also became the strongest soldier in the army of heavens. Both fought countless days and nights, fighting for a cause created by their parents. However, when they met on the battlefield, it deemed too d
