Learning Journal#6

                 Final Reflection

In every meal I made, I think I got better and better and better. Every meal had its flaw but they got smaller. I think this project was very successful. In all I think I had good progress as it went on.

Learning Journal #5

                      Summary

This week I made chili, beans, and white rice. It turned out great. My mom and I mixed it all together and it tasted amazing.

                      Reflective

I thought it was a great meal. The only thing I can think of to do better is make more in the pot.

Learning Journal #4

                       Summary

Today I made tacos, rice, and beans. My taco meat was good, but the shells got a little soggy. I don't really know how. Other than that the meal was ok.

                   Reflective

The meal was fine and I know should  probably figure out what I did wrong with the taco shell.

Learning Journal #3

                       Summary

I was a little more successful. This tine I made fish sticks,macaroni and cheese, and rolls. I did ok. The fish sticks were ok, but I burned the rolls. I also used to much milk in the Mac and cheese.

                       Reflective

Next time I can measure the milk instead of winging it like I did. Also I could cook the rolls for longer. I can also buy a better brand of fish sticks.

Learning Journal #2

                        Summary                                     This week wasn't very successful. I was making spagatti and garlic bread. For starters the noodles weren't fully cooked. Then, I burned my hand pulling the bread out of the oven. The sauce was bland and no one was around to eat it so no it wasn't successful.

                        Reflective

     Next time I might want to try to cook the noodles longer. Also I should add a little seasoning to the sauce. And maybe I should get a more protective oven glove.

Should High School Last 6 Years?

No, no, no absolutely not. I will not do two extra years of high school just so I can graduate and go back to school. No!

      Honestly, if you watch as much TV as I do you tend to pick up the fact that high school sometimes is the worst years of your life or the best. Never in between. I will not do it!

       There might be upsides to an extra two years of high school but there are just as many downs. 

       Like, why would someone spread out the work. In many past years students smart and not so smart have finished the work of high school in only four. 

       Plus, don't you think that many of us need to become successful at a younger age rather than older. I know there's only a two year difference. But, time is a luxery most of us don't have. 

       It also wouldn't be fair. What if we do  make it to where we have six years, huh. Other school distructs will only do four and they will get to the jobs. And need I remind you it is becoming harder and harder to get a job graduateing from high school or college.

       The working economy is becoming less realistic to find a job. So many people are struggling to find a job it will only get worse. Holding us back of presuming our careers and lives is pure torture.

        In the future it will become almost impossible to get a job. And the only way you might find a job is if the person you are in line for will have to die or retire. Imagine if we do add two years. We will be less likely to ever get a job.

       I can't speak for everyone but I personally don't like school. No offense. I don't want to be here an extra two years. In those two years some people can become successful billionaires selling the top product in the country.

        Honestly, all those extra years do is hold us back from growing up and starting our lives. It seems hardly fair don't you agree.

       In conclusion do you see the problem with adding those two extra dreaded years will do any benefit here.  

Thanksgiving Traditions

Well, in my family we have traditions but, nothing set in stone. Like we always go to my grandparents on my dad's side. We have done that for many years now and now that we live closer there's no hassle. 

        But, that is just one of the few traditions. Theres another one that I believe my mom doesn't think about. After we eat my mom lays down in my grandparents bedroom and sleeps intill my dad finishes watching football.

        Another one would have to be watching the Cowboys game. We watch it every year. And I mean every year! My papaw and my dad and sometimes my Uncle Eli watch it. 

       Although they do that Daken and I ride the four wheelers on the ranch. I ride the red and blue stick shift. Daken rides the small camp automatic. All very fun!

      One time I scareded one of the cows so bad he freaked out and ran into a tree. I laughed so hard I didn't see where I was going and got stuck and had walk back.

     This last time my brother got the four wheeler stuck under the trampoline and then he tried to steal my four wheeler. But, I took the key with me as I went to get my dad. 

      Another tradition is having a variety of gravy because my mom can't stand giblets. They are gross but, I don't eat gravy so it doesn't bother me.

     Cabbage is now banned from Saurage family Thanksgivings. My brother has a phobia and throws up at the sight. I'm pretty sure he forces himself but, whatever!

     If you couldn't tell yet we have many traditions even my family didn't know of. But, they happen constantly and every year some of them even apply to other holidays.
