Christmas 

Over Christmas break I will be visiting all of my family and going and having many Christmas's it will be very fun I will also go shopping and use my Christmas gifts for the things they are for. I will hang out with my friends and family. 

 

College

What I want to accomplish at college is I want to graduate with a degree and be able to pass every class and every grade be good so I can have a good GPA. I want to have fun at college and be responsible. I'm going to college for myself and my family so I can have a good future and a good life. What college fits you best is what characteristic would probably be the most important thing because you should go somewhere where it can be best for the major you are trying to get. I will seek my mothers input because she was valedictorian and she got a huge scholarship because she was determined and dedicated to finish her work and was very smart. If I go to college it will help me achieve my goal of making my own business and be able to be a physical therapist or athletic trainer. I have to go to college to achieve this and I need to make my life goals with going to college.  

Thanksgiving

For thanksgiving I spend the whole day with my family and eat all the food in the world. I love eating macaroni and cheese, deviled eggs, turkey, and of course pumpkin pie. I usually eat a big dinner or lunch with my whole family and we go around the table and say what we are thankful for.

A Job for A 16 Year Old

I found a job at buffalo wild wings as a server or seater. It would be appropriate for my age group because it wouldn't be too hard its a part time job and it pays by the hour so you get paid by how much you work. I think I would like this because they show sports and other shows on the TV's I like watching sports so if no one was coming in or if we aren't open yet I could chill and watch the sports and stuff and it would be easy because I would just take people to their seats ask them if they want a table or a booth then ask them how many where in their group/party, tell them who their waiter/waitress is and then I just get that number of menu's. If I was a server I would try to visit all my tables as often as possible and I would make sure and ask them as nicely and politely as possible and make sure and double check their order so I never got it wrong I also would like it because I love their food especially their wings so I could get a discount and I could meet new friends. Also if I wasn't working one night I could go up their with my friends and still get a discount for everything and a discount for everyone I would bring too. Finding a job online was real easy but I think you it would be better if you went and got one in person.

Homeless To Harvard

Homeless to Harvard was a good movie to me in my opinion. The only thing that was kinda sad is that it never got happy or good until the end it was kind of depressing. But I don't think I could ever do what she accomplished especially since I have all of the things she never had and I have never had to face as many battles as her but I think what she did was phenomenal. My favorite part was when she was living homeless with all her friends and having a good time even though she didn't have a home she was still enjoying her life and living it to the fullest. I think it would be hard to be resilient but I think I could do it because if you set your mind on something you can achieve anything you just have to push through the hard times and you will be rewarded like she was. 

Most Surprising Budget Cost

The most surprising things to me was how much food would be per month it was larger than I thought because now I know how much my parents pay. I also didn't know that I wouldn't have a lot of left over money so I will pretty much be broke. I think that I am pretty prepared and ready to take on that responsibility. I realized that I have to live on my own and live in the real world. I can start saving up some extra money for college so I can take some of those expenses away and live a little less stressful. 

My Future Career 

Professional Baseball Player

When I grow up I would love to play professional baseball. I know not a lot of athletes will make it to the major leagues but I think I might have a pretty good chance. I have played baseball since I was 3 years old and I am on my high school varsity team and I have been on varsity since I was a freshman. Baseball is my passion and I also play other sports like football and basketball but I don't like them as much as I like baseball. The reason I like baseball so much is because I am pretty good at it and it is the best sport in the world. Also baseball players in the major league average on making more money than almost any other sport. Another thing is in baseball there are not as many ways of becoming injured as there are in other sports so that means I could play longer and have more money. If I did become a professional baseball player I would get to meet all of the other great baseball players. Another thing is though if you plan on playing sports for your life you have to have a back up plan or a plan B, my plan B is to become a physical therapist because that is still in the sports industry and it would be a fun and well paying job. 

Stressed 

I am not stressed at all but i do get stressed at times because of school and other problems. There is not that many problems in my life and I feel like you shouldn't really stress over anything. I feel like the more you stress the more you over think things and that makes you stress more. I only stress over certain things and things that are worth stressing over or things I need to stress over. I try not to do things to put me in stressful situations or do things so I can avoid stressful situations. I don't usually avoid my problems or challenges I think I try to address them as soon as I can so I won't have to stress about it later. If I am stressed or if I'm stressing I usually go talk about to someone I can trust or that I want to just vent my feelings or why I am stressed to them. I like telling people why I am stressing because most of the time people will try to help you out or give you advice so you can stop stressing so much. The main things that I stress over is like grades in school, family problems, drama that people start, and just adults that mistreat me and I cant tell them how I feel about them because then I get in trouble or come off rude. Those are the main reasons but I think if none of that is a big problem then I don't stress that much.

A. My current organization method is to remind myself to do my homework and study sometimes i'll write a note and put it in my pocket and remember what it was for or put an alarm on my phone. I think it works most of the time but it could use some improvement because sometimes I forget to do it or forget to remind myself. It does because I will feel the note in my pocket and remember to do things that i'm supposed to do like homework or study. It doesn't work because if I forget to remind myself I wont remember and then i get a zero on a paper and that's not good. 

B. Procrastination hurts because if it is something that takes time or something that you cant do in a rush then you should take time out and find ways to work on it and there might be a surprise where you can get extra credit if you turn it in early and if you do it earlier you can work on the little stuff too.

C. I can fight procrastination by being more determined to do my work and just working on it early that way I know I have it done and not have to worry about rushing or anything. Then you can get better grades and have a better year overall because it will not be as stressful.

In college transition I plan on getting more interested in looking at what college I want to go to and I plan on playing sports hopefully in college and if that doesn't work I would like to be a physical therapist. Me and my twin brother both plan on being physical therapist's and hope to have our own business and own therapy place. I have a twin who I am 2 minutes older than and I also have 9 other siblings so there is 11 of us in total. I play 3 sports right now and my favorite is baseball because I have played it since I was 3. I also play basketball and football. I like to travel but I have only been out of the country once and that was to Haiti for a missions trip. I have visited many of the 50 states and one day I would like to say that I visited all 50 of them. I would like to go to college somewhere in Texas but not too close too home because I would like to live on my own. I am very outgoing and like having fun. These are just a few random things about me if you would like to know me come talk to me.
