Life Update

Im not positive any one will read this, but this is just me jotting down my thoughts. Its been around 4 months since ive graduated from high school. And around 2 months since ive moved out of state. I came along with my friend, and things have been tough. Physically but mostly mentally. Being away from home for longer than usuak has taken a toll, but its a part of the process.  I got a job at the home depot which is pretty good, nothing to complain about. The people there are kind, which is a big up. We've been living in a garage, but its only a motivation for me to keep working, to get something better. I dont want to work forever, and i feel like school just isnt for me. Theres so many people that find their way out of this "working" system and i want ins. Ill find a way to break the cycle, but i gotta work for it first. Anyways thats enough of me talking, take care peeps.

Elements

ELEMENT 1: You have been treated as colleagues and you have been given a great deal of choice in this course; this represents a high level of trust.  Did you and the others deserve it?  Earn it?  Honor it?   The others and I would definitely say we earned it. Whether we did a good job or not, we still stuck to the routine and tried to get stuff done. I tried my hardest to not forget, and though sometimes i wouldnt feel worthy to post, i tried my best. ELEMENT 2: Fiction has been called "the lie that tells the truth."  Which works, authors, or characters did you read this year that rang true enough to make you feel like they described parts of you and/or your journey? (Please mention at least three.  It makes them sad when we forget them.) In this class, we have reached out to so many amazing new topics for me to learn about. I would have to say the music and the dreamland topic really connected to my journey because at that time, i was listening t...

Brave New World Essay

     In Brave New World, a character who conforms outwardly but is questioned inwardly would have to be John. John is an alpha who is supposed to be this top dog, in this higher class group, though he was made with a little bit of alcohol in his blood surrogate. Bernard is also different from the alphas because he would rather be alone in nature, and rejects taking soma. In the following passage i will explain how Bernard from Brave New World is closely related to a real human, and how he is different.      Bernard Marx was created an alpha, but had a little alcohol mixed with his blood surrogate. This is the reason why Bernard is pretty much the outcast of the story. He was meant to be the main group of the Brave New World, but only to be rejected by all of them because he doesnt meet the requirements of an alpha. Instead, Bernard is smaller than all the alphas and wishes he could just fit in with them. This makes him become anti-social with all the other...

BNW chapter 15 notes

These children are there to experience death. They just watch because they know everything dies. In the beginning of chapter, John is in the hospital with his deceased mother. When he exited, he saw 162 Deltas lined up to get their soma. John throws the soma out the window and the Deltas start to attack him. Bernard and Helmholts are still in the apartment trying to track down John until suddenly they get a call from the hospital saying John is there and causing trouble. They got there as soon as John threw out the soma and he starts to get attacked. All hell breaks loose and the police have to come in. Soma gas is released for the Deltas and they end up all making love and getting more pills. John, Helmholtz and Bernard get sent into custody by the sergeant

MY BIG QUESTION RESEARCH

Some people think research is boring because they have to do it for a class, and it's usually about something that's not interesting.  But today I did research and it was awesome.  Here's how I did it. I was just in class, it was a really short day, and I decided to look at whats going on with the internet. I asked myself, what do i really love doing. And so i had very few thoughts, but still, i had some. What i came up with, was gaming and i told myself, "i know i have to give this my best shot. I need to try"  What i saw were people making a living by entertaining other people by playing video games. I thought to myself, "oh wow! this seems like it can be, fun.". I grew up playing video games, and i still enjoy playing them a lot. I think this can be an amazing experience for me since its something that i love to do. I am also really anxious about the future and what it holds for me. I'm not a school person, but i still get my work done, but i find...

EVERY ONE IS , DIFFERENT

What i had learned through out my high school years so far is, school is not for everybody. Everybody is interested in something, but not everybody is interested in the same thing. I feel like i know what i personally want, and what i don't want, or at least i think i do. I don't feel motivated to do some of my math work, but when it comes to my science, or history, i do my work because im interested in what goes on. I like the feeling of doing my work, and actually enjoying the time doing that. What i dont like, however, is when i have to complete some work for math because well, i don't enjoy math. Its not that i dont like coming to school, but i just don't feel like math is interesting. There are some people that would die for math, and there people that would die for art because those people are doing what they love. For every minute i spend doing math, i feel like its another minutes of my life being spent in a wrong way. And i just want to let you know that these ...
