The Best Times of Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is always great because i get to see all of my family in one house and have great food.  I'd say that my favorite part of thanksgiving is eating a great meal and then shortly after, going to watch football and eat desert.  This year will be great because a break from school is good but a few extra days of good eating is just perfect.  We don't really have many traditions at my thanksgiving, but one year on accident, my grandma got chicken instead of turkey for some reason so we always have chicken and turkey now.  I love Thanksgiving because of the fun we have with our family all on one day.

Career Day is NOT Boring

There were 4 sessions we had to go to and the careers i chose to go to were medicine, business, law, and engineering.  Medicine and engineering were just to fill out the sheet and to complete the session requirements.  But law and business really stood out to me.  Mostly law.  I thought that law was going to be boring when i arrived, but i actually ended up learning a lot from the speaker and the slide show presentation.  A few things i learned from the sessions was how much money those careers make on average, how much schooling you need, and what exactly you do on a typical day of those careers.  Out of all of them i think law appealed to me more because it is fascinating and gives you more of an understanding of the world by learning about law and attorneys.

My Julius Caesar Project

Making my project for Julius Caesar was a challenge but also very fun to do.  I like to have hands-on projects instead of power points and papers.  It is just more interesting to me.  The way i made my project was drawing 3 characteristics of the antagonist, Cassius.  I depicted them by drawing out what they meant with a picture and then filling it in with colored pencils.   It took me a while to color and to think of the ideas for my drawings.  I'm not the best drawer in the world but i do enjoy making those kind of projects.  I feel like sharing it with my class was easy and i  enjoyed that because they all got to see my drawings.  I hope I did good on it and I'm looking forward to being able to do another project similar to this one.

My Response to Spiritual Emphasis Week

I think our speaker, Brent, is a great speaker.  He is hilarious and knows what to say to get through to high school students.  He makes great jokes, and can relate to whats going on in our lives and really connect with us. He really turns us to Jesus.  I'm very glad that he is our speaker because he makes me want to go to chapel everyday.
