Challenges Teens Face Today

Challenges Teens Face Today

1. Several challenges teens face today is pressure from your parents and expectations.
2. A challenge i am dealing with today is trying to keep up with all my work since this is my first year of high school.
3. It can help me by not being shy and ask more questions during class and it can help me commit to school.
4. I can encourage other teens to not give up and try to focus on the main things in school.

Reflection: teens have the need to have a mobile device in site and that is what may cause a distraction.

Student Success Statement; John F. Kennedy

“ Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.”- President John F. Kennedy

I agree with President John F. Kennedy when he says that physical fitness is not only the most important keys to a healthy body. Physical fitness does not only have one purpose, it can have many purposes. They can be to get in shape, just for fun, to blow off some stress, and many more. The point is that physical fitness does not have only one purpose. It can help a lot of people with many things in many ways. If you think that it is just to get in shape, then you are wrong. Many people depend on physical fitness to help relax their bodies. Or people can also use it for the brain too. It can exercise the brain in many  ways. Just because you see a person that has a nice body and seems all happy all the time, it does not mean everything in their life is perfect. They can have some issues at home or with a person. That’s where the physical fitness comes in, they use it to let their stress out or to get their mind off of things.

Health Sciences Career

Health Sciences Librarian

Duties and Responsibilities: A health sciences librarian conducts in-depth research on different medical topics in order to find the latest information available. These librarians are in charge of arranging and distributing clinical, scientific, and biomedical information for texts, journals and electronic databases.  Health science librarians are skilled at producing detailed bibliographies related to many different health fields, as well as publications and abstracts.

Salary: $52,000

Education:To become a professional health science librarian, you must first complete a high school education with courses in science, math, and information technology and management. A bachelor’s degree in life sciences should then be followed by a master’s degree in library science (MLS), which is licensed through the American Library Association. Typical coursework in the master’s program includes classes in biomedicine, literature, communications, library management and organization, bibliographic resource usage, and standard cataloging systems.

Demand for this profession: A bachelor’s degree in life sciences should then be followed by a master’s degree in library sciences. As with most jobs, employment and salary depends on skills and training. Predictably, trained professionals have greater chances of successfully finding employment than beginners.

Reflection: I would not like to think of myself as a person with this career. I do like the idea of helping people out, but not in this career.

Student Success Statement: Joseph B. Wirthlin

“ Kindness is the essence of greatness. “- Joseph B. Wirthlin

I agree with Joseph when he says that kindness is the key to greatness. Kindness is just a word to most people. They see it  and hear it almost every day but the truth is are they really comprehending? People may see or hear this word and not make much of it, but it is a powerful thing. Kindness can lead to many things in life, it can lead to possibly anything you want if you are well aware of what it means. Kindness means family, friends, partners, etc. but it also means something that you do out of generosity. You don’t do it to receive something out of it or because you think by doing it people will like you more. You can be kind to anybody just because you can and want to. It doesn’t mean to do everything for a person, it means to be kind enough and ask or offer help. Be kind to someone, it doesn’t have to be a big act of help. It can be something small like offering to help with carrying something or opening a door. It can be anything you want, but show it to people.

Thanksgiving week

Thanksgiving week

Thanksgiving week was very interesting. Every family had to bring some type of food or dessert. My family was required to make ham like every year. The reunion was held at one of my close aunt’s house, where all our family ate, talked, and enjoyed each other's company. But most of the times I stayed home with my two siblings. We usually just cleaned the house and then I would cook for all of us and just lay down and watch movies, mostly comedies. Or i would go sit by my reading window with a book in my hand or draw when I felt like I needed to get my stress out. I would also talk to my friends for a while and then go to bed and watch TV. I also ate a lot of food over this week, for Thanksgiving i ate pasta and potato salad. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday I went to the mall shopping. I went to one of my favorites stores Abercrombie and Fitch. I also went to Paris Baguette and bought macaroons of all types of colors and flavors.

  

Student Success Statement: Marcus Aurelius

‘If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it.”- Marcus Aurelius

I agree with Marcus when he shares this quote with us. We have to remind ourselves that we need to be honest. Lying will make your life hard. You will be living your life lie after lie and it will make it hard for you to say the truth after a while. The longer you keep the lie the more effect it will have on you and other people. You have to be honest if you want other people to trust you. You have to be honest to yourself and prove yourself that you are better than lying. Show yourself that you are better then depending on a lie. Show your good side to other people and they will do the same. Be respectful and truthful to others. Don’t lie if you want something so bad, say the truth because you want something badly. You can’t get something in life by lying and feel good about it. It is not right and it shows that you don’t care about anything.

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday celebrated in Canada and The United States. It was originally celebrated to give thanks for all the blessings of the harvest and the preceding year. It is celebrated on the second Monday of Canada and the fourth Thursday in November in the United States.  Pilgrims and  puritans who began emigrating from England in the 1620s and 1630s carried the tradition of Days of Fasting and Days of Thanksgiving with them to New England. Prayers of thanks and special thanksgiving ceremonies are common among almost all religions after harvests and at other times. The Thanksgiving holiday's history in North America is rooted in English traditions dating from the Protestant Reformations.  In the English tradition, days of thanksgiving and special thanksgiving religious services became important during the English Reformation in the reign of Henry VIII and in reaction to the large number of religious holidays on the Catholic calendar. Before 1536 there were 95 Church holidays, plus 52 Sundays, when people were required to attend church and forego work and sometimes pay for expensive celebrations.
