Project Icarus Journal #3

Essential Questions:
- My passions are baseball, and making new things. These are my passions because I dedicate myself to baseball for like a year as I have seasons, practices, and take time on weekends to make myself better at it. I enjoy making new things because it expands my knowledge and makes me learn new things in the world I never knew. For example when I first started making new kinds of food like beef broccoli I felt so successful and from there I learned that making food and new things were something I really enjoyed.

- Something that motivates me towards learning is the success feeling you get when you accomplish something. For example when I was in 8th grade and I got a 4.0 I had a accomplished feeling that really motivated me to do good because before and that I really didn't have a purpose to go to school and from then I really push myself to get that same kind of feeling I got. Also just to get that kind of feeling makes me feel like I really mean something to the world as I'm not just another person in school.

- Some skills that I mastered is patience and dedication. I mastered these skills because  I have been through so much I have learned to be patient and not force things because there is always so thing that happens if you try to just force things to happen. For example when you are baking things you need patience on waiting for your end product to come out instead of trying to take it out of the oven too soon or else it wouldn't turn out the way you want it to. Also it takes dedication because baking is something you can't just do when you want without it getting boring. If you had dedication baking would be something you like doing instead of just another thing that you have to do.

-School is important because without an education you wouldn't be able to get a good job or go to a good college. Also it creates opportunities for you to have success in your life as in different majors in college. Also it gives you information that you wouldn't get if there were no school which would give you a more harder life. Also it gives people an opportunity to others to meet others. And finally school is a way for some people to take of some stress they have at home and gives them people to express them to.

1. My passion is making different kinds of food. I think of it as something I enjoy doing and always having fun at it no matter if it gets boring after a while. It really makes me learn patience and dedication to really succeed if I want to be good.

2. I will use recipes from online along with recipes from my mother to make different kinds of foods. I will access these questions when I see my mother and also when I look on the internet, instead of just staying on facebook I will try look on different recipe websites.

3. I want to know the different ingredients and different methods people use to make a specific type of food. Also I want to learn how different kinds of cultures have different kinds of foods.

4. I will take action by making a cake or pie of my own.

Reflection as comment

Occupy Moanalua Flyer

We are doing the kind of flyer to show that once not that long ago the prices for lunch were very cheap. but now they are thinking of making it to almost $3.35 and for the economy now that kind of is alot for people that have been laid off. So we feel that the school department should lower the prices of lunch.

Video Response: Oprah

1. The torture of the prisoners, the way the camp looked, the look of what the gas chambers looked like, and what the camps had looked like and how big the gates were.

2. I liked how they talked quietly during the whole interview from not trying to disrespect Eliezer's feelings, and also respecting the fact that the place was where he had gone through so much, and how he felt that he stilled believed that people's souls remained and didn't want to disrespect them. Also i liked the different camera angles which shown how the ground had looked, and how they used excerpts out of the book to really emphasize the feeling that Eliezer was trying to describe during that particular part of the interview.

Allusive Poem

Life can be like a strident
3 way dagger.
Stap you one time
and another
and when you thought it would stop
it staps you again.

But you have to pick yourslf up,
you can't be greedy
you have to grind it out.
You can't have anger towards others,
you have to it take it upon yourself.
And you can't abandon those you love,
You have to embrace them.

So when life gets tough,
make smart choices
your own hope
your own motivation
your own determination.
But at the very least show to the world
that you won't go down without a fight.
