Believe in yourself!

This blog is on what Robert said about self reliance. I agree with him 100%. You gotta take risks and believe in yourself to make your life better. He said that if you don't think your gonna make the team for a sport and you try out and make it you made a big difference in your life. Now you know your good enough for whatever it is. Just go out their and believe that you can do it.

My Emerson.

What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think means that everything you do only concerns you. You shouldn't care about what other people think.

Journal entry!

On a scale 1-10 That Emerson is right. I would give him a 10 because he says what I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. What hes trying to say about this is that what he does concerns him not what the people think about what he did. He could care less. Also he says society is a wave. This is a good one because it's true society is a wave and you never know when it's gonna be a low wave or a high wave.

Letter to my mentor!

My Letter is to my dog.

  My big question is why do you like to bark at the mail man?

Anyone can be walking by our house and my dog will be just fine but once the mail man comes by he loses it. I don't know that it is maybe the hat he's wearing or the bag? When someone knocks on the door he  might bark once or twice and that's it but for the mail man he barks until he's gone. Just a little curious on this subject.

RESPECT MY AUTHORITY

My dad is my most influential authority figure. He reminds me to be myself and to not forget where you came from. He cares about about me and guides me to the right path while still being a responsible parent. But at the same time I see a lot of people using the word respect in a whole other way. Like they don't want you to question them back or raise your voice. Respect isn't what you are feeling at the time but how you actually treat the Person on a day to day basis. Then you can say what type of respect they give you. My dad has been with me through my whole life and I can never repay him for everything he's done for me but I can make him proud and that's what I'm striving to do. I wanna graduate high school. And go to barber school and try to get my license and maybe open my own shop. I could just work in a barbershop but I'm trying to make a good living so later on I can chill. I'm just gonna have to wait and see what the future has in store for me. But I know if I make it that it was all from my dad he made me who I am today. Go 49ers 😈

Sometimes my mind!

Sometimes when I'm really hungry and I feel like I can eat 2 whole pizzas things change when you see the food physically in front of you. The more food you see the quicker you get full. So I can eat like 3 slices and I'll be done already. It's because you see all the food. Something interesting to think about in my opinion.

MY AERIES

The grade I earned on the essay was not bad I just needed more info on what I was saying and I was not shocked by that. I just needed more time to finish it. I agree with it.

I've think I earned at least a B- just because I could have been posting a lot more often on my blogs but I'm fixing that.
