Thanksgiving Break

For Thanksgiving I am going to Santa Fe, New Mexico to visit my sister and her husband for 3 days. We will probably go skiing and or sledding since they have a lot of snow there right now. Then I'll fly back home for Thanksgiving dinner with my whole family. Then the next day I'm going to Jenna's house and we're all putting on a friend family dinner with Paige, Tori, Tyler, Masen, and Kaitlyn. Then I will probably just spend the night with Jenna another night.

Jobs

A job, found online, that is good for my experience and age is to work at American Eagle. I absolutely love shopping and being in that environment. This job is appropriate for me and people like me because it is not very hard and might seem fun. You would have to have good people skills and know the store very well, being that you would have to help customers. It would be a simple, easy job to have while in high school as long as you love clothes and retail. Also, you would have to be able to do simple things like work a register. To prepare for an interview I would just make sure I looked presentable and knew how to persuade the Manager into thinking I was a good fit. I would do this by showing a love for the store and for helping people. Finding a job online is really not very hard if you know a company you would like to work for. Once you know that, you can just go to their website and click on a career section, most companies have them at the bottom of the site, and go on from there.

Homeless to Harvard

I thought the movie and story were very inspiring. My favorite part would have to be when Liz Murray finally decides to start taking care of herself now that her mother has passed. This was my favorite part because I think it was the most important. Throughout the film I kept hoping she would use her potential and make something of herself, so when she finally does it I really enjoyed seeing it. If I had been in Liz's place I don't think I would have been as resilient that quickly. I think she went through a lot, and it would've taken me a bit more time to bounce back.
