Start and Stop

"We need the courage to start and continue what we should do, and the courage to stop what we shouldn't do." 

By; Richard L. Evans 

There are many things that we do bad in our lives, but there is also a lot of things that we do good. We need to make sure we stop doing the wrong things. We need to make sure we make ourselves strong and that we do not give in into the bad things in this world. We should put all of our strength into being better people. We should have the courage to do the right thing and so no to all the bad influences. I myself have to stop many bad habits that I have developed throughout my life. I have to have courage and let the bad habits go and welcome some new and good habits. I have started and will continue doing better at school and giving it my best. I have to stop letting others get into my head and bring me down. This quote is very powerful because many things can be applied to it. It is a multidimensional quote and does not only apply to a certain group of people, it applies to everyone. 

Orthodontist

Orthodontist

Duties and Responsibilities: Orthodontics jobs involve straightening teeth and correcting bites. They are responsible for finding problems with the position of the patient’s teeth. They may use x-rays or plaster molds of the patient’s teeth to find the problem. They may give the patient braces, retainers, and space maintainers to correct problems. They are also responsible for planning custom treatment plans for each patient according to their needs.

Salary: $196,270

Education: Need to graduate from dental school with a Doctor of Dental Surgery or Doctor of Dental Medicine. In most cases you may need to earn a bachelor’s degree in chemistry, biology, physics and organic chemistry. 2-3 years of orthodontics training

Reflection: I would not want to be orthodontics because it seems like it is a lot of responsibility and also because I don’t think I would be able to work with people and their mouths.

" When you tell one lie, it leads to another" 

By: Paul Hatch 

What this quote means to me is that if you tell a lie you are going to be trapped in a web of lies. The moment you tell one lie then you have gotten yourself in a whole lot of trouble. Telling one lie leads you to telling more to cover up that first lie. I remember once when I was in the 9th grade I really wanted to go watch a movie so I lied to my mom. That day we were supposed to have a performance at school but it was cancelled two days before. I told my mom it was still going on just so I could go. That day I went but then my mom kept calling asking where I was. I kept telling her I was at school so then she told me she was telling my brother to go pick me up. I had to come up with many m ore lies just to get her from catching me on my first lie. I felt bad for lying but there was no going back at what I had done I was afraid of the consequences. I got trapped in a web of lies and I did not like it one bit. I told her the truth of what had really happened and I got my phone taken away. I did not complain because I had earned the punishment.  

School Break Days

                                                    Winter Break

            This winter break I spent most of it with my family. The very first day of winter break I went ice skating with my best friend; it was a great way to begin my break. The first week of vacation family came down from San Francisco and Bakersfield to spend Christmas here. Christmas was pretty fun hanging out with family members I did not see for most of the year and catching up. The second week I went to Bakersfield to celebrate new year’s there. For the most part I spent it watching Christmas movies. Even though Christmas had already passed I still enjoyed the movies. I watched the polar express one of my favorite childhood movies and I watched my overall favorite movie Frozen. The third and final week I spent it at home. I read The Fault in Our Stars twice, and began reading Reconstructing Amelia which I still have to finish. The rest of my time I spent it watching television series on Netflix or watching movies. This winter was not very exciting as others yet I enjoyed my time off and had a pretty good time with family.
