TODAYS EMERSON READING

I read a section from ‘self-reliance’ by Ralph Waldo Emerson’s, in this section he states “ There is a time in every man’s education when arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; That he must take him self for better, for worse; as his portion” I think this means that we need to find our selfs, and find who we truly want to be in life, find our own person.

TODAY EMERSON READING

Today I read a section from " On Self-Reliance" there was one quote that stood out to me while reading " To believe your own thought, to believe that is true for you in your private heart is true for all men' I took some to think about this quote and what it could mean, to me it means, that our hearts are the only truth, not our minds. Our minds could bring negativity which as our hearts can bring the truth, the mind could make us believe somthing that really isn't true, for example when people have insecurities its mostly all in there minds like when someone looks in the mirror and try to find a insecurities and starts saying ' I'm fat' or ' why am I ugly' they start to believe it more and makes them think its the actual truth.

I'M IN CHARGE

Some high school students need to be told what to do all the time and reminded or threatened when they don't get the job done. Independent work can be challenging, but I like it because when I work independently I feel more focused on my own work. I mostly do all my work independently to focus on my own thoughts, and do my own work.

LETTER TO A MENTOR DRAFT 1

Dear, Amy Reichelt


One question that's always been on my mind is ' what is déjà vu? ' and why do we get it? many people know what it is and many people don't. Some people have experienced this werid and odd feeling well others haven't, I know that Deja vu is the feeling of having already experienced the situation.
you explain that it is act before a seizure which is called ' epilepsy ' which happens when there is electrical activity in the brain. you also explain that it is a memory error, but I also want to know why we get these memory errors, is it unhealthy to get Deja vu at a young age? can Deja vu affect us in a bad way? and why are they're many theory's that Deja vu is an act of us already living this life, and its telling us that we already done this in the past.
