Blank Verse

People often say to me “Love is pain”

But for me I believe that love is joy

Love is something that gives us happiness

A sense of happiness hard to explain

Love is like a gift ready to unwrap

It makes us wonder what treats are inside

Sharing love is just like sharing laughter

They say “laugh and the whole world laughs with you”

Just like “Love and the whole world loves with you”

Love is found everyday all around us

Free verse

Life
The divine gift bestowed by mother nature
A blessing from the heavens and earth
we are all one together
together in the core

Then why do we occupy our selves and time
and surround ourselves with meaningless junk?
Take a step back and you will see
what are the things that really matter

Turn off your cellphone and your computer screen
turn off the tv and turn down the beats
Turn off the radio playing so loud
and get up and look around

Look at your friends and family
Look at the scenery outside
Look into your heart and see
what life really means

Haiku

End of today

As the sun sets west
Waving, promising to us
To bring a new day

Jungle Book

Through the overgrowth
Wonder into the unknown
Call of adventure

Island

A speck of greener
May embellish the vast blue
A work of nature

Letter

I've been trying to

To write this letter for you

But words just can't do

Remembrance

Sometimes, I think back

Back to the days, my childhood

Time flies, doesn't it?

Today we continued to learn about available career choices. Mrs. Gunther also told us about  jobs that had the highest pay. I noticed that most of them were professional jobs that required more than 8 years of college education. I was pretty worried, but Ms. Sayler explained that most students actually get a job and work day time, and many colleges give out loans as well. My dream job is to become a bio-engineer.
We also took an anxiety test. I personally thought it was a good opportunity since I'm always overly anxious before major exams and tests.

Careers (2010, Nov 17th)

   Today we looked at what kinds of careers were available for us. Actually, I was very surprised at the huge amount of careers available. There were so many jobs that I didn't know about. For example, my friend Ribby found a job called "Blaster". We all laughed and joked about what kind of job a blaster might be. There were also some jobs that sounded very interesting such as "Food Taster".
   We also took a closer look at our learning styles. There were 3 major types of learning styles. They were visual learning, auditory learning, kinesthetic/tactile learning. It turns out that I prefer auditory learning and kinesthetic/tactile learning. Mrs. Gunther told us that auditory learners are very good at listening, and it is a very good idea to record your teacher's lectures (especially in college). Also, kinesthetic/tactile learners need movement to learn more easily.

Today I took a learning style test and a personality test. I think I got to learn more about myself through these tests. There were a few parts where it was hard to make a choice between my given options, but overall it had a wide range of answers that were possible. When the test results came out, I felt that the results depicted me very closely to what I thought I was like. It also gave me some tips on how to manage my time, classes, homework, etc. I feel that all this was a great experience for me and it would help me out in the future when I am decided what kind of career path to choose.

Reflection (2010, Nov 12th)

Today we talked about our interests and what we consider as "important". I got to realize that many of us (including me) considered materialistic things as important in our lives. I began to wonder if God was ever a priority in my life, or if I just called myself a Christian. Most people consider money and interests as a priority, but if we think about it, these things don't mean anything when everything is stripped away from us. Maybe I should try to change my priorities more towards God and not towards the world.
