During Thanksgiving, my family and I will be spending time in Arkansas with our cousins. Over the break, my brother and I will be going to basketball practices, and a game on Tuesday. It is not very fun to have some of your break taken away, but it is okay since it is basketball. At our cousins house in Arkansas, we will get together and have a good time. Thanksgiving night is when we will have our "feast" with the whole family there. There will be turkey, smoked ham, gravy, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, and have a great time with the fam!

Job Opportunities on the Web

A job that would be ideal for a person like me is being a tutor. This is a part time job that can be well paying and not too stressful. Having a tutoring job can help a person make fast money, and help younger students soften their work load. Tutoring is a great part-time job for many reasons. Firstly, it only requires a few hours of work in a day, or even in a whole week. The lower hours compared to a normal job allows students more time to work on their own homework, and study time. Another way that tutoring can be helpful to a full-time student is the pay. When you are in high school, you always feel like you need a little extra money so you can go out to eat or go and see a movie with your friends. When tutoring, you get payed money that can be used for activities such as the two above. The last thing that tutoring can do is help both sides of the job. The student and the tutor both feel accomplished after the job has been done. The student has learned more, and the tutor has helped the student finish parts of their homework that they did not understand. Having an interview for becoming a tutor can be a simple task. Since you will be meeting with a student, you will most likely have to meet with the parent or parents of the student before you begin. This is a one on one interview process that allows the parent to get to know the tutor, as well as the tutor to know what kind of job they are getting into. Finding a job online can be very difficult. It is a long process, but in the end you can find the perfect job that you need for your very busy schedule.

Homeless to Harvard

The film Homeless to Harvard was a very touching film. The film was over a homeless girl who had great potential, and finally exerted her skills in an essay application for a scholarship in the New York Times. She had come from a poor, druggy family, and did not have much of a life to look forward to in that environment. There were many great parts, but there was one that I liked the best. When Liz gave her speech in the room with all of the readers of her essay was a very emotional part. She told her whole story, and this is what allowed her to touch many of their lives. Because of this emotional scene, she was able to get a scholarship from the New York Times and get into Harvard fully paid for. Liz was a very resilient person, and I do not think that I could be as resilient as her and achieve as much as she did. Her determination got her very far in life, and I on the other hand, do not see my self as being as determined to achieve my goals in life. Liz was a very brave and determined person, and I wish that I could become as determined as much as she was in her life.
