Break

I honestly do not know what I am doing for break. I usually go to visit my dad and I spend thanksgiving with that side of my family. This year I will be with my  mom and I don't know where she spends thanksgiving because I am normally gone. I just hope I eat a lot and sleep and watch football. 

Be A Good Sport!

I chose a job in retail as a cashier. I feel like this is one of the best jobs to start with as a teen. I found a job with Dick's sporting goods. I think this would be a really good job for me because I love sports, so I could probably help people. I think this would be a fun job for me even more so because I'm a teenager. I think this job would be appropriate for me because I would actually enjoy my job. Being an athlete working in a store for athletes would be a great opportunity. Also, I think it wouldn't be as demanding as somewhere like Wal-mart or Target. This could work for other students  I think in preparation for the interview I would edit my resume and include more of the athletic activities. I think that finding a job that is age appropriate is harder for a teenager because a lot of the job openings are for adults or college students. 

I found my job at

Homeless to Harvard

My favorite part of the movie was when Liz was at the school very late trying to finish work. Not many people have the drive that she had. She went through a struggle that most kids couldn't imagine, yet she overcame it. I feel like if I had the resources I needed I wold have been just as resilient as Liz was. But, if I had the opportunity to go to go like she did I would have gone. I understand she felt she had to watch her mother and take care of her but even when she taken from her mother she still didn't go to school. But ultimately her drive and motivation helped her reach her goals. I think the movie was a great example that you can do anything if you have the right mindset.
