Ambition is one of the most desirable qualities in human being. anyone who has changed the world in a good way is ambitious; anyone who is the best at what they do is ambitious. Most everyone who sets a goal and accomplishes it is ambitious. Ambition is having a want to do better, be the best you can be, and having a want to accomplish goals.


Being in a position of power can be a good or bad thing. If you think about the good things, you are a leader, an important person that plays a big role in the control of an area. You get benefits like protection and typically a large salary. Some of the downs would be not being able to live the life you want, having to endure the hatred of people who don't support you, and having to act certain way, because if you don't you will be ridiculed.

hit or miss

     I enjoyed writing the literary analysis the most. For me, it was very structured, starting off with a good thesis statement. From the get go I had it all planned out in my head. I also am pretty good at arguing a point and can usually do a good job of getting it across, All these contributing factors helped me write a pretty good literary analysis.

     The paper I had the most trouble with was definitely the research paper. To start off with my topic, and thesis were not very good, prohibiting me from writing to my fullest extent. Also my social studies teacher did not provide much constructive criticism on my topic for me to improve my writing. All of these factors hindered my writing.

Post 2, week 4

     Although we are reading a challenging book, it has been not-so challenging for me. I have personally enjoyed this book so much and I think I know why. To start off I decided to do reading responses for my Bread and Butter assignments rather than annotating and I feel that this has given me time to really enjoy and immerse myself in the book. Even though I did do the reading responses I still would underline key parts that would help me write my reading response. my advice for anyone reading this book next year would be to do the reading responses.

What I'm grateful for

                    I am grateful for many things in my life like the nice school I get to go to, or my parents who do so much for my, or my whole entire family that supports me. There is one thing I am especially grateful for and it tops off everything else on my list, and that thing is the country we live in. there are so many things we are able to do that other people in different countries aren't.

                    I started to realize how lucky I was to be an American when I was in the 4th or 5th grade, when I started paying attention to the news and learning about our constitution. All throughout my childhood the U.S. was at war in the middle east and it made me glad to realize how stable and civilized our country was, and how we don't have to be in a constant fear for our lives. I think some of us nowadays don't realize how fortunate we are to live in this great country that so many people have fought and died for.
