 I use many different ways to study. I use flashcards and practice test. I also use notecards and things online to help learn the information. I also talk with my friends about the infmorauon to better know what were doing. Its hard sometimes ifyou don't have a good teacher but I have good teachers for the most part. There are many ways to learn it's just what worlks best for you

 I think there are many difficult part of writing a essay, let a alone an informational essay. You have to find evidence then site the evidence. Then you have to organize all your ideas and thoughts and then brainstorm a good topic. I feel like finding the evidnce and then having to site that it the hardert part. You have to really understand the information you are reading and if you don't you will have trouble with that part. I'm getting better with them but I still find trouble sometimes will writing them.

 I think there are some crazy experiences when people have died and came back to life. I think everyone has had a different experience but I think everything all correlates to one thing. People have had visions of God or there best memories in life or even just nothingness. I think the only way to really know was it is and feels and looks like Is for it to happen to you. I don't know If its scientific and something to do with God but whatever happens I want to experience it just to know what if feels like and I would like to meet my father God. 

 Mastering precise vocabulary can help you in communication many ways. When you're texting it can make you sound more suffisticated and knowledgeable. When you're talking to someone in person they might see you as someone who knows what they're talking about and confident in there answers. It's important to have an extended vocabulary expesally when your getting older for things like interviews and important meetings. It also shows signs of intelligence so it's good to have. 

 When I get older I am most defenilty not living in a city. Expesally a big city. I want to travel the world and go to every city and most counties and really live and see everything there is to see, and then when I'm down, settle down somewhere calm and have a family. I want to see the cities and maybe live in some for  while but not when I have my family and I want to settle down. The city life is to crowded and fast passes. I want my kids to grow up with land and things to do around them while being safe and learning life skills. In the city there's more to worry about and more taxes and people and everything is more complicated. 

 One vocabulary word that stuck with me is Nirvana. Nirvana means a condition of great peace and calmness. I feel like I resonate with this word because I try to make sure I'm always in a peaceful state when going on in life and just making sure my mental state is always strong. I also like the sound of the word. It sounds very peaceful but also like exclusive. I don't have a memory of this word nesseacaly but I just feel like its a good word to know and try to live your life by.  

 After reading the two passages this week, there are many things that I'm going to do to not take out student loans. I'm starting to work for the past year and will continue to work so I can save up and use that for college. I will also have scholarships going into college that will help me with the money and cut down on the cost. My parents are also saving up money in a college fund so that will help me greatly as well. I also plan on living cheap and trying to save money while in college. 

 When I shop, I don't always check where products are made, but I do think it’s important to support American-made goods when possible. I’d be willing to pay more for something made in the U.S. because I believe it helps boost our economy and supports local jobs. I also think that paying a little extra for higher-quality products is worth it in the long run. However, I also have to consider the price and whether I can afford it. While I support the idea of buying American, it’s a balance between supporting our economy and being realistic about my budget.

 One time when my failure helped me grow was not making the soccer team in my freshman year. I was disappointed, but instead of giving up, I used it as motivation to practice harder. I joined a club team and worked on improving my skills. The next year, I made the team, and I realized that failing the first time was necessary for my growth. It taught me resilience and how to bounce back stronger.

 I have met and seen a couple of people that have achieved my dream. There are many celebrities and famous actors and such that are obviously living my dream. Having lots of money and a beautiful wife and children and a big house ect... Not having to worry about money and being able to get want you want and retire my parents and all the things a man wants to do is the dream. But in reality thats probably not going to happen so I look at the people around me and my step dad has one of my dream cars. He has a porche 911 carerra S and It is goeurgoes. 

 I was was out in my land with my dad one weekend a couple months ago and it was a beautiful night. The sky was clear and the trees sat low so the whole sky was visible. We were exhausted, we had just worked all day and finally had gotten cleaned up. It was night time and we were both looking at the sky when he said how macroscopic the milky way is and how we cant even see 1% of it. He went on a little more really describing this sky but I always remembered when he said that. It doesn't so much help me improve my writing and reading skills but it does help me learn new words expressly that can be used in advanced areas.

I prefer Standard Time because waking up when it’s still dark during Daylight Savings Time is the worst. It makes mornings feel way harder, and I’m already not a morning person. I also think it’s nice when it gets dark earlier because it feels cozier, especially in the winter. Plus, I don’t really need extra sunlight at night since I’m usually inside doing homework or just relaxing.

The best cook in my family is my grandma. One time, she made her homemade lasagna, and it was insane. The layers of pasta, cheesy goodness, and rich meat sauce all melted together perfectly. I swear, every bite felt like the best thing I’d ever eaten, and I definitely went back for seconds, maybe even thirds. 

The most disgusting food I’ve ever had was canned sardines. I tried them at a family gathering because my uncle swore they were amazing, but he was definitely wrong. They were super salty, had a weird mushy texture, and smelled awful. I could barely take one bite before I had to wash it down with a ton of water.

Right now, my favorite word is labrynth . I like it because it makes me think of something confusing and complicated, like a maze or somthing. I don’t use it a lot, maybe once in a while when talking about hard puzzles or complicated situations. It just sounds cool and kind of mysterious.
