How do you find time to enjoy your day, even when you have a lot going on? Write about at least three specific things you do to enjoy small moments throughout your day.

 I really like to meet with my friends and since I have different friends for every class its always something new. Also waiting to relax at home is a nice thought and there is even this foot massager machine that feels very nice. Then there is playing my video games almost everynight which I've loved scine I was a little child. Today we finished up the one pager that we got on wednesday I really liked the look of my one pager especially with the dual baby image.

After reading The Tyger by William Blake, take a moment to reflect on the idea of creation. What do you believe is the most beautiful creation in the world—natural or man-made—and why? Describe it in detail and explain what makes it so awe-inspiring to you.

 Honestly I really like some man made art but I think that natural scenes are always going to win the competition. Like for example my favorite scenes are when you are just in a quiet place and you are over looking a forest at high noon or you are on the beach at 6 Am looking at a sunset rising over the horizon. Those are the things that I think are the most beautiful in the world. There is just something so serene about those moments especially when you are all alone and you get time to think and appreciate what you are seeing and sometimes the peace can give you time to sort some things in your life. Today we just did a common lit on The Tyger by William Blake

Easter Sunday was yesterday, a holiday full of traditions for many people. What holiday do you look forward to the most each year, and why is it your favorite? Share what you usually do to celebrate it and what makes it meaningful or fun for you.

 Honestly I enjoy what I assume has to be the most celebrated christian holiday and that is Christmas. Obviously it is my favorite because that is when I get the most gifts in the year, but I also like it because I enjoy watching my family open gifts, whether that is a gift I had got them or a gift that someone else got them. I really just like to see their reactions whether that is excitment and joy or just plain pretending to like the gift, any reaction is fun to watch. We usually just eat a nice breakfast and then open the gifts and sometimes we will go over to a grandparents house and celebrate with the reat of the family. Today we did some sort of testing thing to guage ourselfs I think I don't really know. I've defenitly done this test before and I can't remember if it was this year or junior year.

What steps can you take now to prepare for a career that pays more than minimum wage? Think about education, skill-building, job research, and networking. Which steps are most important for you right now?

 I think definitely finishing highschool and moving on to college is the biggest step because getting your degree opens up a lot of jobs that make pretty good money. I also think that starting early and doing some sort of internships in the areas that you want to work in for your career is a good step which will make it easier to get better starting pay. Also looking into jobs to see which ones will provide large incomes is an important step so that you can live comfortably and do something that you enjoy. Today we watched a video on someone who lives their daily life on $7.50 and answered some questions  It was interesting to see what people who live like that and people who don't make a lot of money I think she was in a better place than some other poor people and it was most likely due to her using government assistance.

Write about what you did over the Spring Break.

 I didn't really do anything over the break most of the time I just played videogames and watched shows and movies. I also of course did some of my missing work which took a decent chuck of time out of a few of my days but it was some not too challenging work. I did watch Iron man 2 and Age of Ultron for some reason and those are always good watches, I do have pizza night on Fridays where we watch movies and my little sister usually chooses horror movies.  Today we did a career work sheet and did some research on those careers that we choose. Scince I had already kind of choosen my major it was not to hard to fill it out but when I choose the second job I forgot how appealing Engineering looks but either way Physical Therapy and Aerospace Engineering pay pretty well both ways.

If you could plan the perfect spring break with no limitation, money, time, or responsibilities—what would it look like? Where would you go, who would you bring, and what would you do?

 I think that if I could do anything that I wanted to do for spring break I would probably want to rent out a race track and drive suoer cars. I would probably want to do this with my dad and my brother because out of everyone in my house hold my dad loves cars and my brother likes to tag along with me and my dad. I would also like to go rock climbing with my whole family because I really like it and I feel like I would be good at it, also it is an easy enough activity that anyone can get into it especially since you can choose your level of difficulty. I would also like to go kayaking because I have done it before and it is pretty fun especially with a group. Today was just a make up day

Consider a film that portrays your culture. Reflect on how accurately your culture is represented and the potential impacts of this portrayal.

 I remember the movie dumb and dumber was about two dumb white guys and I feel like that whole movie kind of portrayed young white guys as very stupid people who are very irresponsible and can not function in the real world. Of course the movie is hilarious but I'm sure it is not the best portrayal for us like if a person who had to hire people and then remembers that movies and thinks that young white guys are incompetent and maybe doesn't hire them. I don't know about that scenerio but it is a small chance that that could maybe happen. Today we presented our slides on one sided stories in media
