The Worst Argument So Far

This week the blog topic is the worst argument I've had. Immediately what came to mind was the time I argued with my mom about drugs. It sounds really bad but it was really just about if it was ok for people to do them if it's medical. At that time there was a huge debate about marijuana and I noticed I don't know what my mothers stance on political subjects are. So we ended up having a super long argument, as I was being very loquacious and my mom was being stubborn. It lasted two days which was especially bad because it was my aunts birthday the next day and I was trying to avoid her.

Fake It Till You Become It

This week my reading teacher showed the class a ted talk on body language and how it can affect your future. Other than making me realize I always slouch, it showed me that if you use power poses you will be more condfident in the moment. Then she told us to write about what we're confident about.

I think that something I might be confident about is my studies. I get good grades and I have been since the beginning of middle school. But I guess I am lacking a bit of confidence in myself when I think about the future. I can't picture my future and when I try to find out something I'm interested in nothing pops up. I feel like I'd need some help with that. In order to be able to find my aspirations I think I'm gonna need to experience more things and really get out there and do things. Try making pottery, draw something, search up about jobs, ask people around me, etc. I'll have to persevere but I'll do it. That would be my first step.

Winter Break Kindness

When I try to recall winter break everything is pretty much a blur. I didn't really do much except watch a lot of tv shows. However, if I have to think about something I did I helped my mom with a lot of chores. This might've started a chain because my mom bought me a lot of snacks. I was very happy.
