What steps can you take now to prepare for a career that pays more than minimum wage? Think about education, skill-building, job research, and networking. Which steps are most important for you right now?

 You need to meet people in the field or job you are interested in. They carry valuable knowledge and experiences that you may also face if you decide to partake. You also need to research the education, skills, qualifications, and factors in order to get the job. Right now, I need to prepare myself mentally for all the math I will be doing as well as reaching out to anybody I know that could give me insight into whether the job would be right for me. Today, we watched a video on about a woman living on minimum wage. It was interesting to see the experiences, challenges, and sacrifices she went through taking care of herself and her son. Me and my mom have gone through similar experiences so it’s nice to relate and understand other people have gone through the same experiences. Today, I feel good. I have nothing today so I get to go home.

Summarize your holiday break. In addition, write about 5 personal goals that you want to achieve in 2025. Explain why you chose those goals.

All holiday break, I spent my time filling out and finalizing college applications. I enjoyed about 4 days of my break, sleeping and playing video games to distract myself from realizing I had school on Monday. I wrote many paragraphs and rewrote my essays many times, but I am happy with the final result. 5 personal goals I have for 2025 are passing all my classes with a B or above, getting a job during the summer so I have something to do during college, successfully transitioning from High School to College, keeping in touch with my friends as we move onto different paths in life, and improving myself into my journey of becoming an adult. I chose these goals as they are beneficial for my life journey, being things that can benefit me or push me to be better every day. Today, I feel okay. I'm still finishing applications and have more stuff I had to deal with, so I hope it gets resolved soon so I can finally have peace. I also have a practice on the first day of this semester, get...

Write about a moment you had to step outside your comfort zone.

 Ever since I joined the marching band, I've been constantly put in the spotlight during football games and school events, especially since I play the snare drum. As I've gotten older, I've soon become center snare, meaning I was responsible for marching the band onto the field, counting them in for songs, and overall being responsible for the tempo. The first time I tried this my sophomore year, I was too nervous knowing everyone would hear me and see me first as I was the only one playing. However, this taught me the values of consistency and perseverance, as the more I did it, the better and more comfortable I got, becoming my favorite thing to do now. Today, we continued our reading of The Color Purple by Alice Walker. After we finished, we wrote a Found Poem using any lines from any chapter we had read in order to portray something. I wrote my poem about a cheating husband with his wife being the bystander and having to deal with his blatant infidelity. Today, I feel o...

Write about something that you heard that you wish you could unhear.

 I wish I could unhear my friend reveal that during a marching band practice, they snuck someone into the public practice rooms with someone and got "personal". It left bad memories every time I walked past the room and ruined my appetite that morning during breakfast. Today, we took a survey and got the whole period to work on any missing work we had over the virtual days. I was able to get 2 assignments done, with one left which I can finish when I get home. I need to stop procrastinating and stay on top of the assignments, because as I did them, I saw how easy they were. I did not need to let it pile up. Today, I feel good. I probably could've stayed home and done my work, but I enjoyed seeing people at school today.
