Same Words Different People

My group had the same words, but we each had different definitions for them. We didn't know which one was the correct definition of the vocabulary words. So me and my partner searched it up on duck duck go, google, and bing. They all had different definitions, I didn't realize how many meanings one  word could have.

Story Of My Life

It was just like any other day, I remember this day perfectly it was a Friday morning. Good Friday to be exact, April 3rd. My family members had just came to visit, we don't really see each other that much since they live in Bakersfield. It was like around 75 degrees outside. I was in 6th grade that time so I was like 12. My uncle wanted to go to the beach, so he invited us to go with him, me and my sister said " yeah just let us get dressed". We put on our shorts and a sweater because it was actually windy but not that kind of cold windy. We got in his car and he drove us to the beach.  We arrived at the beach and enjoyed that nice beautiful sun. We stayed  there for about like an 1 hour. Then my uncle said "let's go to the park" we all said " yeah let's go". We went to buy pizza's first because we were hungry, we took the pizza's to the park and me and my cousin went on the playground. We were eating our pizza's, but since I didn't eat pizza crust I wanted to throw it away. I had seen my friend Elizabeth with her mom, so I said hi. I still needed to throw my pizza crust away, so I went running. Forgot to mention I had sandals on and still the same clothes I took to the beach. While I was running I tripped over a crack on the cement. I didn't realize I feel with my arm under my stomach, I stayed laying on the ground. I didn't know what to do, I didn't feel any pain while laying down there. Until my sister picked me up and asked if I was okay, that's when I felt my arm ache. It hurt so bad, I told her and she started to wiggle it and it hurt so much. I saw like a bump on my arm, my uncle said it was my bone sticking out. We went home really fast and my sister helped me get changed. I had scrapes on my knee's and my forehead. My parents wanted to take me to get my arm massaged, they didn't think I had my arm broken. They took me to this lady, when she started to massage my arm she said she couldn't help me. She said it was definitely broken, I couldn't even move my fingers. My mom then had to take me to the hospital, we waited in the waiting room and then I got called up. They asked me what had happened so I had explained everything, they asked if anything else hurt I said no. They took my arm to get X-rayed, it was my right arm that was broken. They put a cast on my arm and gave me a sling, they also gave me pills for the pain called Tylenol. I had to drink those pills whenever I couldn't handle the pain. It was the worst thing ever, made my life a little more complicated. From then on, I try being careful when running.

Self-reliance pt.5

Emerson tried to tell us that we see ourselves as a low class person as a person who isn't worth much, but what if that was just a fantasy. What if what we really are actually royalty. We think we know ourselves but what if we actually don't.  What if what we think might make us, us isn't actually it. There probably is so much more to us than what we think there is.

SELF-RELIANCE PT.4

Emerson says that we are all scared to trust ourselves. That may be true for many people. We are all afraid to be us at one point, because we feel like we don't fit in well. Why should we contradict ourselves?  One thing I learned from Emerson was that not being consistent is a good thing because if you are consistent, your soul has nothing to do. Emerson states " A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." Which means a foolish consistency is the mischievous imp of our little minds. Half of the time we are misunderstood but Emerson states " To be great is to be misunderstood"

SELF-RELIANCE: PT 3

Emerson starts off the sixth paragraph by saying " Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind." Which means that nothing is connected with god but the quality of you being honest with your own mind.

ON SELF-RELIANCE PART 2

Emerson talked about how we don't know what we can do until we try it. I agree with that, most of the time we say " I can't do that" when we have never tired it before at all. He also mentioned how we are ashamed of the best part of us, at school we only show the part that we need to show. Like the part of us that gets us awards and good grades. We don't fully express ourselves at school , there's that side of us we are ashamed of, that we don't want to show to get in trouble. Emerson was celebrating us being different and our thoughts. He thought that we are not our best selves if we do not believe. We are champions of our own self. As an adult we might feel judged and rejected.  Emerson said " The virtue in most request is conformity." Which meant that the high standards in most request is compliance with rules and laws. I agree what he has been saying all along, his point of views back then are from us now. We all don't believe in ourselves because we fear being judged. We are all different in our own ways and we should be accepted, our thoughts and ideas are valuable.

FIRST IMPRESSION: ON SELF-RELIANCE

  "Ne te quaesiveris extra" , you're probably wondering what that means right? Well let me tell you it means do not look outside of yourself. I've never heard that in my life either until my teacher read it to us from an essay. To me that essay had a lot to say on self-reliance. That essay told us about how if we have an idea to say it out loud, don't be afraid too. Live your idea. "To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men..." That sentence is from the essay, I believe that sentence means that you just have to believe in your own ideas, you never know your idea might be a great idea and help others. "Our acts our angels are, or good or ill." I believe that quote means that our actions can be good and bad. Overall, I learned a lot from that essay and learned something new. I like the way it talked about how our ideas should be heard, and that we should say them out loud because it can be a really good one. I find it really important when you have an idea because your opinion can be valuable for people.
