Emerson Essay

     In Emerson essay it talked about so many things about life. I understood what Emerson meant in his essay. Many people can say many things about you, but you are the one that chooses who you wanna be. Emerson's title is "On-Self Reliance" is pretty explanatory it talks about you. You are the one who makes the decisions of who you wanna be.
     The main idea of Emerson's tone, diction, and syntax is supported by "Most men gamble with her, and gain all, and lose all, as her wheel rolls." In that quote it means that the desicions that you make in your life depends on you and that the desicions don't control you.
     In the equation that I used and in general the essay helped me that I am the only one who can control my life. In my life i was always a girl that wouldn't be me because I would always care what people think about me. This year I dont care what people think about me I just do what I want to do. I dont regret on thinks that I do. I am happy with myself. I learned that when you are not yourself you are never going to be happy. Just make the best decisions in your life and just be you. Dont make people decide on what you wanna be, but you.
     I agree with everything what Emerson said. He explained so many ways on how we should discover ourselves and not others discovering you. I like how I read the essay and did not understand until Dr. Preston explained some passages. The quotes that Emerson added in the essay was really interesting. One of my favorite quotes from the essay is "Nothing can bring you peace but yourself" in this quote you are the only person that can make things happen in yourself. As well as peace no one is going to bring you peace, but yourself. You are the only one that can make you desicions and control yourself on what you do.
     In this essay I learned so much. It was confusing at first, but then I understood what the whole essay meant. I agree with Emerson and just find yourself. Dont let others control your own life. I believe that you can decide the person that you want to be in life.

Where Dreams Come True! PART 2

DISNEYLAND!😁 Today was the last day of going to disneyland. Today we were able to go to every ride. It was so tiring we had to walk so much it was really fun though. Today I took some new pictures that I want to share with you. My favorite ride of today was the Indiana Jones. The worst one was the Haunted Mansion. In the ride we got stuck we had to waited for 30 minutes in line just to get stuck in that ride. I was really frustrated when the game got stuck. Inside the ride we had to wait about 20 minutes just sitting down and the song of the ride was getting me annoyed. I was so mad because I wasted my time in that ride so I could get stuck in that ride. Ohh well the rest of my day was so fun.For breakfast we ate some yogurt and waffles it was alright it's the hotel food. For lunch we ate pizza in pizza planet. It was so good the pizza tastes different than Costco, little cesar, and etc. . Im not going to forget this day and yesterday's day either. I keep creating memories wh...

HAFTA/ WANNA

As I know right now I can't really tell you what my life during high school and after high school will be. I am not a person from the future that can tell you what is going on. What I can tell you is that there can be a lit change. It might be if your mentality grew or the you act. People are different and you are the only one that can decide of you want to change or not. What I have seen is that students or older people do take things more serious and their actions are not childish. For my personal life I might stay the same, but I would be more mature. Not because I older means I'm going to stop having fun and being funny. Many people might change completely that is something tht no one knows. Once we graduate from high school you become adults something that we will be pretty soon which is year 2020. Now once you graduate you are going to have a busy schedule. You might have a jobs, school , gym and more. Like I said you are going to change no matter what if it's somethi...

Ignite talk

My topic is about religion. I know not so many people talk about this can be a sensitive topic because some people do get offended. I say this because when I was a little girl in elementary and my classmates would talk about what they would do in church and sometimes they would ask me what I do. I was raised in church and my parents taught me that there is only one God which is our savior and creator of the earth. I am Christian so yes I do different things than other religion, but when I would explain to my classmates what I do in my church they would start getting mad at me just because I wouldn't do what they do. I have always been really involved in church since I was a little girl, but at first I dint really understand much about God and other things. Once I did understand things I thought everyone believed in God, but that's not true. I would have classmates that are atheist and would tell me that they dont belive in God. I was shocked or surprised when they would tell me...
