Tuesday's With Morrie
All of the Tuesday's has really inspired me and helped me look at life in a different perspective. The Tuesdays that most inpired me would have to be The ixth Tuesday in which Morrie talks about emotions. Another Tuesday that really has inspired me a lot would be The Fourth Tuesday where they talked about death. i think that the sixth Tuesday really helped me learn how to handle my emotions more better. Another reason why The sixth Tuesday really inspired me is how Morrie talks about detachment. Also it inpired me because of Morrie'ss connection of death with living. The Fourth Tuesday really inspired me because it helped me look at death in a different prespectie. it helped me understand Morrie's feelings about death, and how it is really different from how everyone else looks at death.
I feel like one of the main reasons why The sixth Tuesday has really inspired me is because it has showed me how to be able to handle my emotions and experience all emotions with a good porportion. Morrie states '"But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your head even, you experience them fully and completely.'" This shows me that if I let myself feel my emotions then I will be able to experience and know how all emotions feel like. This follows along with the concept that Morrie explained about detachment. Morrie explains how you have be able to detach yourself from everything in order to really be able to experience all emotions. Something else that inspired me from this Tuesday was when Morrie made the connection of death and living. Morrie stated '"When you learn how to die, you learn how to live.'" I think Morrie was saying that when you are dying, you experience many emotions at once, and once you are able to detach from all these feelings, then you are able to learn how to live.
Reading the Fourth Tuesday in the book about death, really helped me look at death in a different perspective. Everyone looks at dying as just plain horrible, but Morrie shows how there's much more to dying than just that. He explained how if people knew exactly when they were going to die, they would be involved more with their lives. Mitch stated "And the things he was saying in his final months on Earth seemed to transcend all religious differences. Death has a way of doing that." From this, I was able to interpret that death helps you become more open to new ideas, and helps you look at things differently. This also made me realize how right Morrie is about how no one really thinks about dying when they are living. Morrie stated '"We really don't experience the world fully, because we're half-asleep, doing things we automatically think we have to do.'" This inprires me to actually take this advice, and live life to its fullest because you never know when you can die.

Tuesday's With Morrie - Bucket List
So far, I would have to say that Tuesday's with Morrie has been one of my favorite books that I have ever read and I haven't even finished the book yet. Morrie is such a positive guy and he never looks on the bad side of things. This is one of the things that I like about Morrie. Morrie always tries to look on the positive outcome of things even though he is dying with a terrible disease. Morrie is really brave and isn't afraid of death. I think Morrie is really different than most people, and I think all of his experiences have impacted him to become the person he is today. Morrie is really self-less, and thinks about others a lot more than he thinks about himself. He shows no self-pity for himself, and considers himself lucky in the position he is in. He explains how most people don't get to say goodbye to everyone because they don't know when they are going to die, but Morrie takes this oportunity to do just that.
Some things that I would like to accomplish in my life, would be of course graduating high school. After I graduate high school, I would want to earn a full-ride or part of a scholarship to get into a really good University anywhere in the U.S. I want to be able to earn my bachelor's degree, and then after that I want stay in school to earn my master's degree. After earning my master's degree I would want to go to Law school because I want to become an attorney when I become an adult. After finishing school, I would maybe want to start a family. I would honestly want to become someone like Morrie when I grow older. The world needs more people like Morrie to live on this Earth, then maybe the World can become a better place. I would also want to travel the World because I love seeing new places . I want to visit all 50 states of the U.S, and visit all 7 continents of the world. Two places that I would have to go to would be Italy, and Paris.
Bucket List:
-Trvel the World
-Go to Space
-Meet my favorite artist
-Go skydiving
-Go bungee jumping
-Volunteer around my community often
-Work at an animal shelter for volunteering or as a part-time job when I am in high school
-Have a family, and friends that are loving and caring
-Have a bunch of dogs, cats, or other aniamls as pets
-Live in a mansion
-Have a big pool in my backyard
-Have a trampoline

3rd Quarter Reglections Blog
Prompts: In what area do you think you have made your biggest improvements in English Language Arts?
What is some thing you have accomplished this quarter that you are proud of?
What has been the most challenging part of 3rd quarter for you and what did/can you do to help overcome this?
The most challenging part of 3rd quarter for me was being able to keep up with all of my work and submitting it on time. I feel like time management has always been a struggle for me, and I am getting a little bit better at it but it is still very challenging for me. I am sporadically changing my ways with my time management. I feel that sooner or later, I will finally be able to manage my time and submit all of my work on time with my best quality. Something I can do to help myself overcome this would be manage my time a lot better with all of my classes. I can organize my days in the week in which for each day I plan what I am going to be doing so that I can turn all of my assignments in on time. I could organize a planner for myself to use every week, and this could help me know what things I have to get done on a certain date. This could help me a lot with my time management and so that I won't have to be doing my work at the last minute. This way I'll be able to turn in all of my assignments on time with good quality.
Something that I have accomplished this quarter that I am proud of is completing my butterfly project and doing the argumentative essay. These projects and essay were both really fun assignments for me and I definetely enjoyed working on these. I am proud of how I was able to submit my butterfly project and complete all of the steps for the project on time. I am also proud of my work that I put forth into the project. I worked really hard on the butterfly project and I am proud of the quality of my work. Doing this project also allowed me to learn a lot more about the Holocaust. The argumentative essay was something that I also really enjoyed doing because I was very interested in the topic. I was able to get a plethora amount of knowledge on scientific and commercial testing on animals. That is something that I am also proud of because I was able to learn new things that I didn't know before. Also I am pretty proud of my essay in general because I thought that it turned to be pretty good.
The area that I feel that I made the most improvement on in English Language Arts would be with my writing. I feel that I made the most improvement with my writing in this class because we have been learning many tips that has helped me with my writing. We have been doing many mini-lessons on certain writing tips which has helped me improve a lot. I feel like I noticed how my writing has improven with my argumentative essay. In this class, we also have recovered basic writing tips that I may have forgotten about which helped me remember those basic writing tips. That itself also has helped me with my grammar in my writing which is one the main parts of writing. I like writing a lot, and I feel like this quarter I have been able to get more into writing and have gotten more interested when it comes to my writing. This helps motivate me to try my best on whatever piece I am writing. Trying my best always on my writing is something else that has helped improved my writing.
