I believe that having a career that makes you happy is essential. Why would you go through your whole life at a job that makes you unhappy. If it is just to support your family think about this.. would you rather go through life happy.. or with a lot of money.. I would personally pick money. When I was young I wanted to become a veterinarian.. but hey.. what young little girl doesn't. I wanted to be a veterinarian until I found out that you actually have to put perfectly healthy dogs and cats to sleep. :( . I would never be able to do that.
Right now I am thinking I want to be a rehabilitation counsellor because I love learning about peoples problems and to know that I helped someone and possibly saved there life would feel great. I am going to get there by trying to get a scholarship anywhere possible. Taking a year off to work and save money or travel for a year. Then get right back to school.

Write About a Memory Related to a Holiday
Every Christmas eve we go to my grandma Joyce's and have appetizers and play poker with my whole family, and my aunt Val and my cousins. And 3 years ago that night was not so good.. i didn't really feel like eating.. and there was a good reason for that. About an hour after we got to my grandmothers house. I started puking like no tomorrow, I have never felt that sick before. All the way home I was puking puking puking.. and all night as well. When I woke up on Christmas day I felt as if i had just drank two 2'6s of vodka and had the worse hangover ever. I couldn't even eat my moms delicious eggs Benedict and champagne and orange juice that we have every Christmas morning. I unwrapped my presents half asleep. And later that day I came back up and re looked at my presents cause I was half asleep when I opened them. That was the absolute WORSE Christmas ever.

10 Reasons You Should Skip Bathing for a Week
1. To save soap- if you save soap that means you save money, and saving money is always good.
2. I'm not a very good swimmer- So it would decrease my chance of drowning
3. Taking a bath once a week would make you smell- So that would help chase away all your sports competitors or those people you just don't like
4. Save Time- If you only bath once a week, that means you can use that 20 minutes it takes to have a bath to do important stuff, like school work :)
5. Use your natural oils- Natural hair oils are very good for your hair, so it would make it healthy
6. Must save water- Due to all the polar ice caps melting, it is just unnatural for me to continue going on with my daily life and showering everyday even though I'm harming the environment
7. I'm allergic to the water- I would brake out with hives and my throat would begin to close= bath less
8. To lose weight- You would simply smell yourself before eating and lose your appetite
9. Other Methods- There is other methods you can use to bath yourself that saves time and money.. like sponge bathing.
10. Lazy- Bathing is a big hassle you have to wash your hair, clean your body. And after your done you have to dry your hair, do you hair, dry your body, pick out clean clothes etc...

Journal Entry
"The Glass Castle" by Jeannette Walls
This book made me see my life differently, that I should never be thankful for anything, each meal I eat I try not to waste, because I always think of familes like Jeannette's on how they were happy, for even stale beans. The father of this book is very unresponsible, even though he does interesting things with his kids, like pets a cheetah, he puts them in danger more the less of the time. The mother of the book, is very selfish. She has a full teachers degree but she chooses not to work. She had a full chocolate bar, and she would rather see her kids starve the share a little piece.

Thanks
The book I am reading is called "The Glass Castle" which is a memoir about the struggles and the life that Jeannette Walls lived.
This book makes me thankful for so many things. For the things I don't think about everyday to be thankful for. Like a house with no termites, 3 meals or more everyday, heating, and just a loving and trust worthy family. Unlike, Jeannette Walls whose father is a drunk, and mother is a highly educated lazy person, who could be earning the family money but instead with rather paint.
I watched the interview on Youtube of Jeannette interviewing her mother Rose Mary. Rose Mary was a lot different then I thought she would be, she was heavier set, and I was thinking her living on the streets at all seh would be rather skinny. But then again, I remember her saying in the book that she is addicted to chocolate like Jeannettes father is addicted to alcohol.

The Ending of 'The Lottery'
I compare the ending of the Lottery how they choice one person out of a hat to get stoned to The Holocaust. I compared these too things because in both cause the choice is very random, and it proves nothing other then less people in the world. I find the ending of 'The Lottery' very selfish, even though people are fighting for the lives through poverty, cancer etc.. they will still take the life of a completely healthy individual. This is the same as 'The Holocaust' to because the Nazi's just took the life millions of innocent and healthy Jew's, gays, and blacks. This shows how judgemental our world is today, and how we don't accept many of raises, and people who don't meet our expectations. Or what we think people are suppose to look like. I find it very ironic how the person that was the happiest got chosen to get stoned. Like how the jews would do anything to survive but the Nazi's wanted nothing to do with them.
Top 3 Holidays
I choice the top 3 holidays, because everyone has a different perception of what holidays they like and to the ones they dislike.
My criteria for the top 3 holidays was what makes it special to me, what is the best part of the holiday, and one thing you dislike about the holiday.
1. My birthday- My birthday is April 17th, this is my favorite holiday because it is about me, its when I turn a year older, not anyone else in my family. The best part of this holiday is it sets me apart from other people. One thing I dislike is how you have to eat cake. And I don't like cake.
2. Christmas- Christmas is special to me because you get to spend time with your family everyone together, and in the morning i get to drink shanpane and orange juice, and later at night you get to have a BIG christmas dinner with all my family together. The best part of the holiday is of course the wonderful presents you recieve from your family members. One thing I dislike about this holiday is all the money I have to spend on all my family members, and I have a big family too.
3. Thanksgiving- Thanksgiving is special to me because you get to tell your everyone how thankful you are for everything they have given you and how much you appreciate having them in your life. The best part about this holiday is when my family all sits around the table and tells everyone what they are most thankful for, I believe this is important because this is the one day in a year that you can actually tell someone how much they meant to you. The one thing I dislike about this holiday is how you eat turkey on thanksgiving because I HATE turkey.
