This Christmas break I'm going to Tyler to see my mom's side of the family. Then I'm going to go duck and hog hunting with my brothers and dad.Other than that I am probably just going to sleep in and hang out with friends. Make a couple bonfires and just have a good time. On Christmas my family will open presents and then go to my grandparents house to 

eat and celebrate there. 

In college I hope to accomplish an associates degree and get a good paying job after that and get an apartment so I can live away from the family. I'm doing college for me and my dad, my dad because I'm thinking about going into his business with him and I need at least an associates degree to get a job there. The characteristics that matter most is your GPA and the grades your made in all your classes in high school. Also all of your test scores such as the SAT or the ACT and your ranking in your class. I will seek my older brothers input and my dad's input because my brother is in college right now and he knows how everything works and my dad's for advice and help. College will help me achieve my goals by helping me get a nice job that pays a decent amount or more.

On this break I am going to my grandparents house and getting together for thanksgiving. Other than that I will be duck hunting or hunting something else but most likely just duck. I will be hanging with my friends and watching t.v. and sleeping. That's pretty much all I am going to do this Thanksgiving break. Also, I will just be relaxing and enjoying the nice break away from school.

I found a job as a restaurant team member at Love's in Midlothian, Texas.working at this place would be a great start off for my future. I could work at several different spots in the restaurant like the cashier, the equipment manager for food and drinks, or stacking and lifting object in and out of the restaurant. I could neatly sort products out and stack them correctly in the place their supposed to be. I would prepare for a possible interview by asking questions to myself that most jobs would ask like can I work flexible shifts or am I well with working together and getting a long with other crew members or can I operate food preparation equipment and questions like that. It's a good job because they cover medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans. They also help work flexible hours in case something happens. Also i'd be paid weekly and pay'd on holiday's.

I thought that the movie was very inspiring because of the way Liz overcame the fact that her parents were drug addicts and that her family was falling apart. Liz did not give up on her goals even with being homeless and got an education and went to Harvard and I think that is very encouraging to other homeless people. The movie lets people know that impossible things can become possible if you set your mind to it and do not give up on your goal. My favorite part of the movie was when Liz got into the high school and started making all good grades.

I wanna go to Texas Tech so its a little expensive up there but i can live through it. The monthly payment for a dorm/apartment is around 450 dollars. The good thing about it is that it has all the utilities and necessities I would need so that's good.

I think my top career choice would be to serve my country in the United States Marine Corps. All the grown males in my family have been in a branch of the military and 90% of them went to the Marine Corps. That inspires me even more to go, so I want to carry on the tradition for my family and fight for my family and country. Ive always wanted to go to war and shoot up some bad guys and do my best to protect my country.

I made a 17 out of 24. The thing that stresses me out the most is school and football, school mostly. I love football but you have to do everything perfect in school and you need to pass or you cant play in the games. I also have to pass anyways just to graduate and obviously I need to do that as soon as possible. All the work at school is just a big stress and I deal with it by I guess trying to relax as much as I can.

ORGANIZATION METHOD

My current organization method is keeping everything in certain parts of my binders for each class. I will put three or four classes into one binder. This may seem very unorganized but for me, its not. I have each class separated into sections so when I open my binders I know exactly where to go.

PROCRASTINATION

Procrastination can hurt you grades at school or college really bad. The worst thing you can do to yourself is wait to the last minute to finish homework or projects or anything really. Even at work it can hurt your reputation for other jobs as you grow older. You can fight procrastination by just doing what your supposed to do when your supposed to do it which is the first chance you get. The sooner you get your stuff done the better because you will have more free time at the end.
