             For thanksgiving, my family and I will be going to a special hotel in Irving that serves Thanksgiving dinner. We will be going with my grandparents, and prior to the meal, I will be spending the night at my grandparent's house to help set up their decorations.This is a Turkey, much like the one that we will be eating, but this is a wild turkey. The turkeys that you eat for thanksgiving are grown in a farm and are much less colorful.

Highschooler Jobs

                   After some basic research, I found that there are plenty of opportunities for teens like us to go out and find a job, one must simply be motivated to go and find one. The one that I found was a Domino's Pizza Customer Service Rep. For a job like this, I would prepare by cleaning up, or possibly bringing my highschool transcript. Jobs like this seem to be very basic tasks that do not require much past experience, making it simple for teens to do. Reasons for teens seeking such jobs may be to afford basic things such are gasoline for their car, or to buy frivolous things such as shoes or movie tickets. This gives teens the opportunity to learn a thing or two about budgeting. It is fairly simple to find a job, especially online, because it is all a mouse click away. All you would have to do is look up jobs available in your area. All in all, a job as a teen gives you a good idea of what the working enviroment, preparing you for the future.

         The movie "Homeless to Harvard" seemed to be a very inspirational movie. It showed that no matter where you came from, hard work can take you places that you previously thought impossible. My favorite part was when Liz's mother died, and at that point, decided that she was going to work her tail off. I like this because it shows her perseverance. If I was in the position that Liz was in, I do not think I would have done the same thing. I do not have the faintest idea as to what I would do, but I would probably sulk for a while longer.
