Henry David Thoreau

"Goodness is the only investment that never fails." 

For starters, I agree with this decision. You can invest money to buy a house or car and when something happens you fail and possibly lose all your money. But when You make an effort "investment" in goodness you don't fail because you are being kind. You're not making the investment for yourself but for another and through that you feel good afterward. Even when someone tries to make you feel bad or put you down, they won't succeed. My mom always teaches me great life lessons and I remember one time she told me to be kind to everyone, even to those who aren't nice to you because that is what makes a good person. Now I get that she was trying to tell me that everyone is equal no matter what and I should treat everyone kindly because it shows that exceptions don't exist in this certain area. So yeah it's true. When you make the effort to be a good person, there is no way you can fail from being a great person

                            

Psychologist

Duties and Responsibilities: Psychologists study behavior, emotional health and social processes of a patient by observing the patient and record their findings. What they usually do with their results is study them and find new ways to help the patient get better. To find their results they usually interview/ survey a person and from there they can find out if the person has a medical disorder. They also talk to the community and inform them of behaviors and what can cause each behavior.

Salary: $75,230 per year

Education: License and a Ph.D. or Doctoral of psychology

        

Reflection: I would like to be a psychologist because to me it seems interesting learning about the mind. I want to be able to help people mentally and emotionally and through this, I can hear what is going on with their lives and help them out. I think studying the mind is amazing because from this you can learn why people take violent actions and I can help prevent those hate crimes that have been going on in the U.S. 

Theodore Hesburg

"My basic principle is that if you don't make decisions because they are easy, you don't make them because they are cheap, you don't make them because they are popular you make them because they are right."

I like how this former president was so clear and straight to the point.

Spring break

Well for my spring break nothing much happened. I mostly stayed home and watched Netflix and cleaned the house. On Wednesday I went to Old Town in San Diego and I met an artist who paints only with his fingers and nails on glass. His paintings were so colorful and beautiful. I also went to the gift shop and saw many paintings on canvases that were made from students in a high school. They were so beautiful too.The whole week I was running errands for my 15. I went to get my ring and order the cake. I'm excited about it but I don't show excitement like others. My face is void with no emotion but on the inside, I'm excited and nervous for when the day comes. On Sunday for Easter, I didn't go to the park to look for eggs instead I went to a special service at my church which was at 5 in the morning, and then went to the regular one at 2 in the afternoon. The good thing is I love going to church, to others it may seem odd but I like it and I don't complain. I watched a lot of movies with my little sister and watched a show with her. Her favorite show is Miraculous: the tale o Ladybug and Cat Noir. Season 2 appeared on Netflix so I watched it with her and we ate popcorn, it wasn't so bad, in fact, I actually like the show.

                   

Abraham Lincoln

" 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."

I understand Lincoln I had many friends, but I had to go my own way because they started to grow up and do really bad stuff. Sometimes they would pressure me so I walked away from that friendship. This did not happen just once so I know what Lincoln is talking about. I had the choice to be true and I lost something. I lost my friends. So yeah when you are a true person to yourself and others around you, most of the time you lose. It can be a loss of a possession or a person. One reason I decided to walk away from these friendships because they were doing something wrong, and not only once. I saw that if I stayed with those friends my life would become full of problems and I would become like them. I did not want that, I wanted to stay true to myself. I later found some friends who were so kind and honest and I stuck with them, they always have my back and I can see they are genuine and true.
