Thanksgiving:

This year I am so excited to be hosting thanksgiving with my older sister. Although it has been a lot of stress getting the food together and getting the decorations. Everyday I'm thankful for having the life I have and going down the road I'm going, I'm thankful for all the success that's coming my way and most of all I'm thankful for having the people that I have around me support me and bring me up when I'm at my lowest. I hope everyone enjoys and has a great thanksgiving this year! 

Do Now:

One thing I will always remember from taking this class is the relationship the mind and the brain have and the difference between both of them.

Do Now:

The most important thing I have learned from doing my I-Search project was, finding out that the difference between the mind and the body is that, your mind controls your feelings and your brain controls your body.

Self Assesment

When I finish my project I hope to have at least a 4. I have good grammar when it comes to proceeding projects like this.

What Motivated Me?

My I-Search topic is based on thoughts and my main question is "How do we control our thoughts?" What motivated me to select this question was, day by day everyone goes through about 1000 thoughts a day. But it's completely impossible to control every single one of your thoughts. I would like to know how can I control myself from having several thoughts that come to my mind.

What are you a genius at?

There's a few things I believe i'm good with or at but one thing I can say I am a genius at being is making people laugh and smile. At the age 13 is where it started. Where I can make any person's smile reach from ear to ear. I began to notice it with my close cousin's I was always the one in the clique who made everyone laugh whenever someone was down. Then when I entered middle school that was one thing I did with everyone. I started off by suddenly making anyone who came my way feel happy, whether it was by saying something funny or making them realize the good side of something bad. I now have become the girl who has the ability to tell you things and to teach you things when you feel like your whole world is crashing down on you and when your not happy within yourself or a particular event in your life that has occurred. I learned to use it with anyone who comes my way! 

Are we all born as “genius” or do we obtain it?

The Physical Genius

In my personal opinion, I know that people aren't born as geniuses. It develops over time. Once you're born you live up to expectations and you begin to learn things little by little step by step. It determines on how many times you practice a particular activity until you get better. In the article we read today in class, we read about a very successful surgeon named Charlie Wilson and other artist who are good at what they do. Charlie Wilson wasn't born a genius but he did work his way to get where he is now. In the article the writer states that in the 1980's thats when Mr. Wilson was at his busiest. He would routinely perform seven to eight brain surgeries in a row starting at dawn and ending at dusk. This states that Charlie Wilson didn't just wake up one day and assume he was good at being a surgeon. He practiced on, day and night until he was as  Michon Morita stated, "like a cat playing with a mouse".
