1:19 AM Sunday morning, laying in bed not a sound in the house . Wide awake ..... why do we have feelings ? Life is just a funny thing.... make money to buy things .... have phones to contact people around the world... feelings .... that’s another story! Has the brain asked the heart why do you have feelings ? Feelings is one MAJOR problem in this world ... without feelings there wouldn’t be this crazy world that’s standing today. It’s a big part of our lives . This shouldn’t be something people should be hurt by....something is bugging it messes up the rest of your night..... can’t sleep feels stupid .... just annoyed..  constantly  wondering about others opinions.... too many eyes looking .... feels as if people are talking about the  intruder .... all leads to this thing that has caused not only.. pain.... war.... deaths..... but this world to be a closed book....

This gif is explains how I was all year I was lost  throughout the course . I didn’t read the books Dr.preston said to read. I would just ask someone to tell me what the book was about. I didn’t do my  journals  I would just sit there in my own world alone or maybe talking to my friends

My masterpiece is coming along, I’m learning some things I didn’t get from the beginning. Something that fought my attention is that the fact the government doesn’t want to spend money on mental people because they said there’s no point if they will die. Honestly that makes no sense to me because everyone will die but just because they are mental they won’t spend money. That’s going into  stigma . I didn’t know what stigma mean but now I do thanks to Dr.preson. Anyways so I know that I will be set by my due date.

My grandma and I are fighting. We haven’t talked for over a little over a month. She is not talking to me because I haven’t said sorry, why would I say sorry if I’m not sorry for what happens ? I am not mad at her I will talk to her but I will not say sorry. I tell me self everyday “ why wake up to a whole new day and live that day that already last” meaning why wake up on a Tuesday and still live with what happened on a Monday? Like just let it go don’t be mad it takes more time to be mad then to be nice. That’s how I go about with everything in the world. Like no matter the pain the person put you through just let it go the next day because the could not be around that long.

Today is the first day at camp with the 6 graders. My day was pretty chill. It’s weird because 5 years ago I was the 6 grader at science camp. I am at Rancho. Today we went on a night walk and learned that when you have your ears cuffed backwards you can hear far. Also that the green mint lifesaver creat light at night when you chew with your mouth open. We eat backed potatoes with beans and broccoli. My natural name is Sea turtle because I love turtles! Well tomorrow my group will be heading out to morro bay! I’m going to get some rest.

This picture is very powerful.

Many of us all have electronics. We use them on daily basis but, do we ever get things done that need to be done on time? I don't for example I should be doing some type of something in my Ag Chemistry class right now but I'm not. I'm on my phone taking my "precious time" as what my English teacher said out of my day. This world is crazy! When I was in elementary we all wanted til the next day to talk about whatever we needed to talk about or, we will go over and visit our friends. Now you don't see that. You see kids walking around with the phones out.

Why i'm i so tired ? Is it mentally Tired or I'm I really tired ?

I'm sitting here thinking about what to post about and as I'm sitting here bored, i'm yawning. I am tired yes, but i'm I really tired or is it mental? so I look it up and I find out that being tired can be mental but the cause of being tired can also be a result of health issues: depression, heart disease, chronic illness, and autoimmune disease can all lead to insomnia or trouble sleeping. all of the theses cause you to have trouble sleeping. but me I sleep well or I have a good enough nap to were I wake up and I don't feel tired.if your mentally tired you will know because it becomes harder to stay focuses on a task, make health decisions and remind calm.

Self-Reliance essay

Emerson's title is Self-Reliance. It's called Self-Reliance because you're the only person who can tell yourself what to do and be who you want to be. In the essay, he pointed out the main idea about tone, diction, and syntax. This essay didn't help me because I already have my own mindset to how I want it to be. I put my foot down when people try to run my left. I don't let that happen because I do what I want and I become who I want to become.
     In the essay self-reliance written by Emerson, his main idea for tone was inspirational. It's inspirational because in the essay Emerson said " the soul always hears an admonition in such lines, let the subject be what it may" in other words this to me means to stop listening to others, and start being who you want to be, rather than someone your not. This is inspirational because so many people expect everyone to be the same. everyone is different but not many are truly themselves. They just let people tell them who to become and how to live their lives, rather than living their life just the way they want to.
     Diction in Emerson's essay would be allusions and analogies of historical figures. Emerson believes that people follow the head leader so they can protect themselves and their wealth. "self-reliance is its aversion". This shows the audience that they must be willing to speak the truth without being afraid to say it.
    In self-reliance Emerson's syntax is philosophy because he has long paragraphs, run on sentences and uses big words. "there is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance... given to high to till" this is a long sentence.
    All in all in this essay on Self-Reliance by Emerson. He is basically saying to be your own person. You are who you are, not to be someone else. His words have a strong meaning.

Emerson for the young buck

If I would have to explain " on Self-Reliance" to a ten-year-old I would say don't let someone control your life. If you feel someone is trying to control your life then step up and tell them " this is my life and I do what I want and become who I want to become". This is your life and not someone else to control, you're your own person so be yourself.

So today I have an walk-in interview . I was so excited and now I'm just waiting for the call saying I got the job. In trying to work so i can support nyself sjnce you know i dont live with my family. Anyways so I really hope i get this job.

young girls grabbing older guys attention by what they wear

When girls walk down a street wearing shorts, why do older guys have to turn around and look? like i don't understand why older guys have to look at a girl that way! Its very disgusting. Not only has it happened to me but it happens all the time to a lot of girls. Honestly the guys that look at the girls wearing shorts or tank tops happen to more Mexican people. Now I'm not trying to be rude but if you pay attention to the guys out in the streets, stores and party's it happens to be more of the Mexican people. Like I don't get why they do this. Speaking from a personal experience I feel uncomfortable when guys as old as thirty years old look at me when I have shorts. Is it my fault i want to wear shorts when its hot? Like should i not wear shorts because it grabs the older guys attention? Like that's what my dad would tell me " don't wear shorts if you don't want them to look at you" like is it really my fault?  I think people just need to learn what respect is and stop starting at these young girls wearing shorts and tank tops.
