Reflection: In my opinion I think that I wouldn't want to become a Optometrist technician because it seems like a boring job and im not really good with working with eyes and eyewear. I don’t really want a job where I sit in an office almost all day. Even though it does help the people in our community, it's just not the career meant for me  

"It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and unpopular that which is unsound." By Joseph Smith

What this statement means to me is that as a community we should try and make everything that is good popular while make everything that is bad unpopular. For example, in a school it is normally popular for a person to bully others and it is unpopular to do good academically. What we should do is influence the trend and make it the other way around, so that it is popular to do good in school while it is unpopular to be a bully. This would cause peace in all schools and motivate the students to want to do better in school. This can also apply to insulting/Judging others( popular) and complimenting others (unpopular).If everything that was popular was good and everything that is unpopular is bad then we would have a better society because now people are more focused on being a better person than trying to make others laugh by making fun of someone else. unfortunately this not the world we live in today. The world we live in is filled with hatred, betrayal, jealousy, and envy but this could all change if we as people decide to make that decision and its not just for us, its for the sake of humanity.

School Days Break 

This Spring Break was probably a huge relief because it helped me lose all the stress and anxiety I developed throughout the school year. I mostly just played games and binge watch TV shows with my family but occasionally I would visit my Grandma house and meet with rest of our big family there. Some places other places that I went to was a Baby Shower party and the Movie Theaters. At the Theaters I went to go see the movie The Fate Of the Furious. It was hilarious and filled with action that will have you at the edge of your seat. During my Spring Break I had some CTR experiences. One for example was when my sister asked me whether or not I wanted to go with her and her friends or go to a baby shower. I chose the baby shower because I didn't want hang out with a bunch of strangers I don’t really know. The only project and  homework I had this Spring Break was the Algorithms project that Mr. Haymore assigned us. Other than that I really didn’t do much but relax. Another thing that I did was cut my hair. Sorry I forgot to mention that I had an easter egg hunt with my family on easter. 

   

  

  

" I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right and stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong." By Abraham Lincoln 

What this quote means to me is hat you should alwasy be around those who choose the right and are honest to themsleves. They have to be kind, generous, and caring. They have to know the difference between what is right and what is wrong. If those people stanrt to do wrong things then you leave them because if you saty you might also get into trouble and they might influence you to also choose the wrong. If you are rude, disrespectful and ruthless then you are a CTW person. Be true to yourself and others. Never be afraid to be different even when others are making fun of you. Dare to be abnormal and create something new instead of following others.

Reflection: I don't want to become an Optometrist because it doesn’t sound as interesting to me. I want to have an adventurous job in the future not a job where i sit in an office and wait for my next patient. Although I might feel this way, Optometrist are very important because they help the community by providing clear vision and treatment to diseases related to the eye. I for one really appreciate them because i myself own and use glasses but i just don't what to become an Optometrist.

" Character is higher than intellect." By Ralph Waldo Emerson

What this statement means to me is that being a good person is better than being a smart one. people who are kind, caring, and generous will make it farther in life that a person who is snobbish, rude, and disrespectful even if they are smart. What is more important to you, the feelings of others or winning a debate. Most people who make decisions based on logic will say win the debate but people who make decisions based on good character will say that people's feelings are more important. People can both be smart and have good character but it is the people who are just smart that you have to watch out for. They can be ruthless if they don't seem to have a good character. Making decisions based on emotions is sometimes not always the best thing. There are time when you have t think logically. For example, If you are angry and you feel like hurting someone, then you aren't just going to make the decision to hit someone. If you do that you could end up in jail or even worse. The possibilities are endless.
