Most important belief.

I think the most important thing I believe is that if you're independent and work hard, you can be successful.

JOBS

If I had a choice between a comfortable job or a challenging job, and they both paid the same, I would choose the challenging job. I would make this choice because it would help me grow as a person and become more than this job and get a better job that would pay better and I would like more.

What kind of car do I want in the future.

When I get a stable job, I would like to have a nice honda. I would say a honda civic but I want a newer car in the future and I only like the older honda civics.

Last day to live

If this was my last day to live, I would probably fly my friend nate to Arizona and go to the dollar store with him and spend all my money on stuff there on random stuff. We always do that in the summer; except we don't spend all our money, we just go there a lot and buy a few things.

My Ideal Career

If money didn't matter, I would want to be a elementary school teacher. I think it would be less stressful as a highschool teacher with your students disrespecting you. My dad is a teacher for highschool kids so maybe that's why I want to be a teacher.

Elementary school

One memory I have from elementary school is I forgot to get a permission slip signed by my parent and I had to stay behind from a field trip. When everyone left, I had to go into a lower-grade class to do some work my teacher assigned. It was extremely boring but I was paying attention to what the teacher was saying; It was a math class. I actually learned something from her that I didn't know.

Journal entry

Today, I don't have work! I'm so excited, I just can't hide it. I'm going to hang out with some friends because that's what I like to do.

Deadbeat parents.

In my opinion no parent should be deadbeat parents because when you have a child, that child is part of you; your own responsiblity. Unfortunately though, that's not the case; there are too many poor children that do infact have bad parents. Some don't even realize they are being a bad parent; maybe due to their own parents acting the same way when they were a kid. Others just don't care that they're a terrible parent and can still live with themselves perfectly fine, even though they know they're abusing their very own child.

I believe a good parent is one that cares for and supplies for their child; in a balanced way. I'm not saying a parent should spoil their kid with whatever they want. Instead supply the nessesities and be supportive and encourage their child to succeed. The sooner you teach your kid to be independent, the better and easier time they'll have in life when they're out on their own. Make them earn the stuff they want and desire, which will in the long run make them much happier to have it, and they'll cherish it much more.

TED Talk 6

1. Will Wright / He is game designer that helps kids realize the importance of looking at what effects the future.

2. He basically wants to let people know about his "toys" that help children discover things on their own; rather than someone telling them how to do it. His toys are computer games that let the player interact and discover everything in the game on their own. He feels by showing people long term effects in a short period of time, will help create a better understanding of what we need to do to help preserve the planet.

3. Yes, it showed the effects of adding too much of something to the planet and it's outcome. I learned that there are people out there that have thought of some extremely useful tools, or "toys" that can potentionally help conserve our solar system; let alone our planet.

Yesterday

Yesterday I drove home and did a ton of reading. I'm reading the second book in the Hunger Games series; and it's really interesting. There's three books so i'm looking forward to finishing the series.

Post Retirement.

My grandparents have been retired for a long time now, but they still work out everyday. They're in extremely great shape still regaurdless of their age. They also got swaagg

Presidential Election

This coming up election is the most important election ever. It's going to effect whether the future of the United States will be good, or terrible.

Furthest Place I've been from home?

I've been all the way to Japan more than once. I went there for a couple of weeks. It's been a while since I've gone there last but hopefully I'll go there again by myself maybe. I have grandparents there that I can stay with, and I know a little bit of Japanese so I can some-what communicate with them.

Closest relatives

My closest relatives would  have to be my grandparents; on both sides of my family. On my mom's side of the family, my grandparents are Japanese and on the other side; my dad's side is italian. So they both make completely different types of food, but they're both really good.

2012 Semester Goals

I plan to challenge myself more by not doing just enough, but exceeding my own expectations. I also plan to get rid of my procrastination problem and develop better study habits.

Goals!

Some of the goals I have for this new year is to develop better study skills because that is one of the major things I need for college.

Winter Break

During winter break I caught up on a lot of sleep because I was only sleeping about 5 hours a night before break. I slept about 10-11 hours a day, everyday. So my sleep patern was all messed up and I couldn't fall asleep last night. Luckily my mom woke me up this morning after only getting about 5 hours of sleep. But here I am sleep making it through the day.
