A hat that suits me best will be a dancing and nice hat. Ever since I was a little girl I always loved to dance with my grandparents, family gatherings, and even at jaripeos in Mexico. In Mexico I would dance and always win 500 pesos. It has to be nice because nice to me means very generous, polite, and have manners. As I was growing up I never experienced being nice until I had to teach myself. So nice has to be on the hat

A way to forget about the past is learn from the mistake or blessing and use it as an advantage for the future. If it is a dark past you can talk about it out loud because that can heal you slowly in order for you te get over it and move to the present.  If you only think about the future you can’t live the present. To stop focusing on the future you can control your breathing and rub a finger on your thumb. My experience with it was good.

Sympathy and empathy may sound alike, but there meanings are different. Sympathy is a feeling of sorrow for someone else’s misfortune. Empathy is an ability to understand and share the feelings of others. An example of sympathy is me feeling bad for my brothers lack of knowledge. An example of empathy would be a person who lost a loved one because I can relate and we can share emotions together.

Out of all the movies I’ve seen, I would love to read Flowers in the Attick. It is a very emotional and suspenseful movie. I would love to read it and imagen it on my own. It would be a fun activity to do. I can compare and contrast the movie and the book.

An interesting fact about me is that I do not like chocolate. There are days I crave it, so when I eat it my skin gets soft and clearer. I dislike it because it is to sweet. I only eat the dark chocolate with almonds when I crave it.

People in this generation hardly walk to where they have to go. They either go on a bike or a vehicle. I di not walk around my community because I live in a ranch where there are wild coyotes. When I go over my friends house we do walk to where we want to go. If in the culture the people walk a lot I say they are very energized humans. For cultures who rarely go walking I say they are sloths, very lazy.

To survive in a lonely surface, I would know how to make food for myself and also run out of time so I could do it the next day. I would grade myself a C because I don’t know how to live without my mom yet, so it would be quite difficult.

I am currently waiting for a direction, so I can plan a schedule. I am not that satisfied for the work I’ve done. A guidance I need is  how to pay off the internship to go aboard.

Journal March 5

I think the paragraph is talking about a society that is make believe with “normal” human beings. Where “regular” humans is going to take over to be free. I say Huxley chose the paragraph to give us a notice on what he will be talking about a new generation.

A person who is important in my life would be my aunt, dad, & my grandma. If I found out that I would speak with them any longer, I would say that I’m truly trying to do things righteously and most importantly that I love them. I would let them know all the great memories we had, the great advice they had given me, and also that I will accomplish the things they couldn’t do.
