Ignite Talk

Can you trust your gut and is it reliable ?

So over the break, I went to work in the fields, and man was it hard, but I've been studying the game & I understand that I'm not doing it the same, I'm doing it better & with that mentality and trusting my gut, it is what has led me to make more boxes through out the years. My gut also led me to stay as a strawberry picker rather than working on a machine, stacking boxes, but i m cutting the check, so I'm happy I trusted my gut. So as I see myself I'm a wise wizard, I've become an expert combined by my mid and intuition.  Over the summer I went hiking and I actually found this beautiful beach close to the dunes &  my gut was what led me their so this sense of thinking really does the magic. In "Immigrants in our own Land" we see these men going to other countries for a better future & it's takes guts to do it & it also depends on the trust you give within your gut. All I can do now is wait, with my opportunities heading my way, my gut is what will decide for me.

Spring Break

I finally finished my confirmation and 1st communion, and what  can I say, nothing has felt so much better than finally drinking that wine and eating the bread that is served at the masses. So, I'm taking this path to my faith much serious and well it as really taught me that having faith is what makes things special and that's how life should be.

Spring Break

So over spring break I worked at the fields with my mom, it's hard work and man I had totally forgotten how sore your back gets due to the harsh conditions you go through. At least I helped my mom make 205 boxes my first day back, however this one guy, which we call the "champion" due to them being the fastest to  make boxes. So this man, the champion was 3 boxes away from making 300 boxes, it really is a hustle out here, but this has taught me to do good in school and trust my gut on the opportunities that are given to me.

I think a person who understands this more than me would be Yamile, she's always been helpful for sticky situations like that seem to appear. Since she's also a girl, she seems to be more concerned about things than myself, and its pretty true that girls mature much faster than guys and maybe that is why she is able to provide something to the table.

A skill I have would be trusting my gut, I think I have a great skill on seeing outcomes without me going through that situation. I really don't know whether I get lucky or its just me being like a physic, but I felt like I've become really good at it, since it has stopped me from getting into sticky situations. That voice in your head really does the trick, and its just the emotions you receive that really decide for you. At times I've trusted my gut and avoided talking to some girls, well why you may ask? Well because I'm a wise wizard and my gut seems to know it. So I think I've just become an expert at combing my linear mind and intuition.

Essay Ray Bradbury Fahrenheit 451

It is very interesting how a book can be published in the 1950's yet the author Ray Bradbury can make predictions that came true and are todays issues in society. Scientific fiction has always gotten that recognition of talking about something that has not been made yet in a matter of time it'll be a dream come true. Bradbury took his imagination to another level which is why he is known from his novel Fahrenheit 451. So some of the predictions he made were how members in Montag's society would be obsessed with their large flat screen TV's. As of today everyone has a plasma tv in their household, its not normal if you don't have a flat screen in your house. Ray Bradbury also talks about how everyone back then would enjoy reading and speaking to each other and now everyone is just so addicted to their electronics. I have to give him that, but what Bradbury doesn't speak about is how the society back in the 1950's would take newspapers and read while their large intestine was at work and now many go to the restroom with their phones so they can have something to read or watch while in the restroom. It's very interesting, Bradbury might have compared these old habits and thought of some up and coming technology that would have the same affect and I think any society is predictable if you have the imagination. Its very interesting how this man's writing would play such a big role in his novel. Bradbury uses a lot of symbolism and imagery and an example of this is the fire. The fire signifies as a symbol of destruction, it's weird how this story starts off with the book burning and next thing you now his whole city is burning. Another symbol are the mirrors and this represents when one is seeing his self reflection towards their lives. Ray really did a good job with his imagination maybe because during his era there was large mass productions of things he may of not expected to become a reality. Well Bradbury makes these characters extreme and non human because vacancy runs in ones life which is pretty weird and yet the bombs and the way society treats them just feels so unrealistic. To top this all off I just think this book was hands down good, and the predictions he makes are so accurate that I feel freaked out.
