Tuesday's with Morrie - Bucket List

     I thought that it was pretty interesting on how the narrator says that Morrie was different, and then it shows how he was different than everybody. Something that showed he was different than the usual person is that he had a funeral for himself but he was still living. Usually somebody wouldn't do that, the usual routine was to just do a funeral when the person was dead.

     Somethings else that peaked my interest is how brave Morrie is. I think he is brave because he would go on and ask random students to help him hold a beaker while he was using the bathroom. Not only that, I was surprised that the students would accept his request. I'm sorry to say this but if he would have asked me to do it I would have rejected, but I would call another student to do it for him.

Bucket list:

 - Go travel out of the country (Out of the Americas)

 - Get at least a bachelors degree

 - Have a career or professional job that I would be proud to have

 - Help my family out as much as I can

 - Get a decent home in a good neighborhood

 

3rd Quarter Reflection Blog

     The area I think I have most improved on in English Language Arts is turning my assignments on time. Yes I know that there were some assignments that I turned in late but last quarter I had even more assignments that I have turned in late. I think it is a major improvement because before, I would not be able to turn in assignments during class and have to take it for homework. Now, I work a little faster and I'm now able to turn things in on time and not suffer later.

     Something that I have done this quarter that I am proud of is actually reading a book, not for an assignment however. I was bored one day and I didn't want to play video games or be on any electronics. So I just scavenged my house for a book, luckily I found one and it is called Black Beauty. I have been reading it for the past couple of weeks and I have been quite intrigued by it. 

     The most challenging part in 3rd quarter was doing the Anne Frank slides for the Holocaust Unit. That was the most challenging because when I would forget to do a couple slides then I would suffer later because I would have to do even more work than what I would have had to do. I made it easier for myself by doing it earlier so I wouldn't have to suffer later.

     A strategy that has been the most beneficial to me is getting things done early. For example when I was doing my Holocaust slides I started out not doing so well, like forgetting to do something then paying for it later. After that I thought that it would have been way easier to do more things than I needed to do later. That way I could have free time or could do any other work I was missing, or even do more.

     Other than that 3rd quarter has honestly been the easiest quarter in comparison of the others, one reason is because I made things easier for myself. Another reason is that I tried my hardest to commit to school.
