What Jiro Means To Me

By watching this movie I have become very touched by Jiro's story on how he got started and just his life in general. He was a man that left his home at 9/10 years old and made something for himself. He's now 80 years old and continues to work crazy hours just because he enjoys his job so much. I've learned from him that if you are going to work, have a job that you enjoy so work isn't just something you go to do. Work should be something you enjoy going to, not something to where everyday you find yourself dragging there. 

Just my luck

So I guess no more cheer for me. Last night at the first round CIF game I tore my rotator cuff during halftime. I will have to be out for a few weeks, but by the time I'm better season will be over. This was a season filled with ups and downs, but I wouldn't change it for the world 

Catcher in the Rye: Symbol

I think that the ducks are a symbol that represent Holden's fear of losing things. He asks where they go during the winter because he doesn't want to loose the ducks or for them to disappear 

Basketball Season

I know this post is about a week late but I just wanted to acknowledge a great game last Friday for the Righetti Boys Basketball team. One thing that really touched me about this game was that with about 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter coach Barbarick puts in Christian Farmer, a player who has special needs, into the game and he scored two 2 pointers and a 3 pointer during those last two minutes. Seeing how the student body reacted just touched me. Seeing the school so excited for Christian and his shining moment was a great way to end the game 

Something Different

Well Tuesday I was out of class for a school related function and here are a few photos from my day. I went to Makenzie Jr High school, along with my fellow cheerleaders, to perform for the 8th graders there. It was a different experience for all of us but also fun. Our space that we had to perform was very limited,but we made it all work. The students after were so sweet, telling us how good we did. I really appreciated the feed back we got while we went to promote the spirit program for Righetti High School.  

Catcher in the Rye

Just by reading the first chapter, which is only 6 pages, I've taken much interest into the book. it's not like most books. When the author describes someone/something he usually does so in long, run-on sentences. The author also uses cuss words frequently which you usually don't find in a book assigned for a reading in an English class.

The Next Steps

• My topic is still somewhat undefined in a way, I have an interest in culinary and also want to tie in medical. I've been talking with family and doing some research and think that a way I can pursue them both is to become a dietitian. 
• My interest for food started at a young age, I believe it was 6 years old, and since then I've been in the kitchen helping in any way possible. I recently have taken an interest into the medical field and have been bouncing in between the two trying to figure out which one I would like more. I feel that these two matter to me so much because my family has a history of diabetics and I know that having that condition limits what they can and can't eat. Maybe by me going into these two fields I can keep my family healthy and help them with what they can/can't eat.
