Fall Break

Thanksgiving Reflection:

My fall break was very relaxing. I really needed a break from school and stress from midterms. I have been sick for a long time, and being sick away from home is not fun. I spent a lot of time at the doctors over break, but I came back healthy. I did some school work: I had a big math packet full of word problems, so I went to my high school math teacher who is really good at explaining for help. Other than that, I didn't really have any other school work that I needed to do. I spent a lot of time with my family, I am very close with my brother and sister, so seeing them was very nice. My brother is a very good cook, so coming home to real home cooked food was amazing. Thanksgiving was great, I ate so much and everything was delicious. A lot of things have changed since I first moved here in August. I think I have become much more outgoing, and my people and social skills have definitely improved. I have a close bond with my roommate, and the people I have met here in Monterey Bay are really amazing! Living away from home helps me be independent, and it helps me learn to make choices on my own. Coming home makes me realize how much I love my family and it's nice to see them, but also nice to come back to school when break is all over.

Which Book Would I save?

If i had to save one book, it would be "My Sister's Keeper" By Jodi Picoult. I would save this book becuase out of all the book i've read, this one is by far my favorite. My personal likes about this author are every story she writes has a very suspensuful buildup and a great ending. I dont have any dislikes about her. Its worth saving because it has a lot to relate to and it is a great story. It teaches you to love your family.
