SCHOOL BREAK DAYS

For the three weeks that we were off from school, I did quite an array of things. Even is I remained at home the entire time. The first week was not filled with many pass time activities. Since my parents were working, I was sent to my grandmothers house with my sister. I remained there the entire week. I did not do much at her home besides watch some movies, watch my sister, read some chapters on The Green Mile by Stephen King. I spent a majority of my first week binge watching shows such as Greys Anatomy, Criminal Minds, etc. All the while I counted down the days left until Christmas Day was to struck. My second week was a bit more hands on. After Christmas I spent many days building a 3D model of the astronomy tower at Hogwarts ( Harry Potter). I had received this as a Christmas gift from my mother and had spent approximately three days building it. Through patience I managed to succeed in assembling it, however I must admit I had become frustrated a great many times. During that second week I also spent time filling in and coloring some patterns on a type of stress relief book. To add a few details of my second week off, I must add I also spent my time using my 5 in one entertainment set I received as another gift. It is an old fashioned styled radio, cassete and cd player, along with a vinyl playing feature, and Bluetooth management. My final week was spent reading up on some novels I had yet to finish. I had also begun to reread the Harry Potter series for the third time. Amongst the three weeks mentioned, I must share two days in particular. One of those days being the day I was taken to the movie theatres to see the movie Star Wars the Last Jedi by my father. I had waited so long to see the film, the wait was greatly worth my while. Another individual highlight was the day I spent with my mother. It was the past Saturday where we woke up early to go to the Barns and Noble bookstore in Long Beach.   I had received a $50 gift card from my godmother and decided to use it well. I bought a total of 4 books, ranging from America's history to bibliography's based of Holocaust victims, and two packets of bookmarks. Although my winter break was not all that exciting, I must admit I was relaxed and did thoroughly enjoy many moments of it.

Student Success Statement

''The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity, (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem.'' - Dr. Laura Shlessinger This quote is true. Usually when doing something that is right you never really get a physical reward. The satisfaction is internal since you yourself commited the act. At times there might not be any witnesses. Physical recognition comes for other reasons. When you acknowledge those factors, right truly will feel like a phenomenon. The feeling you get when doing right is like no other. That is the only feeling apart from all others. That sense of well being will not be caused by any thing else. Reward over moral is a great prize.

STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT

'' I hated poverty. Poverty is more of a choice than anything else, and I can change that (poverty). It depends upon how hard I want to work, and I decided that I would change it.'' - Dr. Ben Carson I do not really agree with this statement. While it mat be true that poverty can eventually be overcome, many out there do work hard and give it their all at what they do yet they still do not escape. There are two ways to work hard at something. Sometimes you get what you want, other times things remain the same. This quote can not always be held true. There is a key element that breaks this from being true, education. You can work hard all you want but not go far because of lack of an education. Without education your efforts will mean nothing. Education can be in many forms. Education is the real key to success, without it efforts will not do much good. At times poverty is not a choice, lack of education will forever hold a family down. While some may be lucky to mov...
