I am looking forward to the many experiences that come from the senior year in high school. And gee is it crazy to think that I am already a senior and that we will be the upperclassman finally. I want to improve my learning of science by a grand scale which is part of the reason why I chose to take complex science classes that will push me to the highest level of expectations and thinking output. I want this so I can take my skills and use them or even pass them down to make the learning process an easier and more dominant part of my life. I also will look forward to being able to be the highest class in the school so we can be the ones who make certain decisions or the ones who show our leadership skills to the classes before us. Most of everything will be different next year because everything from this point on only gets more complex. I like that because if you make some things harder for yourself it can sometimes be a wake-up call or it can open your eyes to your weaknesses and strengths. I will most definitely know where to go right away compared to freshman year, I can relate to more teachers than I could my first year of high school. That is one thing I will never let go because being close to some teachers can be very beneficial.
For Memorial Day weekend my family and I basically just stayed home and bonded with each other as a form of entertainment. We aren’t really the family to do anything extraordinary because we have each other and that is enough for us. I spent most of my time working and getting some hours in to make my paycheck a little better than most weeks. For the period of summer I hope to be relaxing and doing what I love; researching and helping people build new computers. Work will also be a big factor of my summer as I would like to save up my money for future use. The big plans that I know of this summer are most likely our family’s June BBQ and then a couple of camping trips. I plan on retaking my ACT test sometime not sure if that is something that can be done during the duration of summer but only time can tell. My job really doesn’t relate to my career path but it does implement god work ethic and logical thinking which can be used to obtain a career or another job in the future.
Amazon is a website we all love for it's online shopping opportunities. What I like other than Amazon's online shopping is amazon's stock and it was a very excellent stock to invest in. When I had started investing in AMZN back in March 25th the price per share was $374 up until now June 5th the price per share was $429.56. I have invested a total of $3,233.75 granting me 7.9710 shares in total. Computer Sciences Corporation is a company I know very little about but they relate to technology and computers so I thought I might invest in something up my alley. When I had started investing in CSC back in March 25th the price of the stock was $65.14 up until now June 5th the price of stock was $67.52. Not a whole lot of changes there compared to the Amazon stock. I have invested a total of $1,718.25 granting me 25.9615 shares in total. 2 for 1 Article - "To Judge or Not To Judge?" (Article 9) This article is all about how we judge people we see and talk to in our daily basis. The main purpose of the article is to learn some insights on how and how not to make critical judgments regarding the important people in your life. There are really only two purposes of making judgments about people who come and stay, or come and leave your life and that to benefit their life as well as you own. The dictionary has two forms of the word judgment, one having a positive meaning and the other negative. Judgmental being the negative version meaning too willing to criticize others actions and behavior saying that they are wrong. Whereas, judgment says an opinion or estimate formed after consideration or deliberation. Judgment is a deep thought that has the thought of feelings implemented inside of it. Then we have judgmental which is just a quick uncaring and unhelpful criticism. The article brings up the good point of judging people over time. Some of us are really unpredictable when it comes to our outside appearance compared to our personality. The article also says to judge the action not the personality for the same reason as ‘judging a book by its cover’. Another good point is to recognize your limited perspective meaning basically to make sure you have your facts straight before you go ahead and make conclusions about people. Last but not least we need to be thoughtful in communicating because through communication we send powerful messages to each other and we need to make sure we say what we really mean to say before we go ahead and say something we didn’t mean. Therefore, judging is something that should be heavily analyzed. I loved this article because so much today especially with today’s generation you see al lot of judging. I feel that everyone should really stop and think and ask themselves “Should I really say this?” In the long run we should all appreciate each other and try to keep the judgmental levels on the down low before we start going to war with each other figuratively speaking. Yeah sure someone may not look like someone you can get along with but that is only one piece to the puzzle. There is a personality behind all faces and it can relate to you immensely. With the knowledge of this article I can now use these points and try to convince people to stop what they are doing and be conscious of others and their feelings. This can aklso create many friendships and get rid of the making fun of people scene. It will not be easy to help people understand as some of us are ignorant but it is definitely worth the try because it is something at least I would like to see. |
