Wk 5: Appreciation

I'm grateful for all of the opportunities that are available to me. 

I'm grateful for this career readiness class because it made me aware of what it is to be a responsible adult. Budgeting and thinking about the future monetarily was really eye-opening, especially when it came to all of the expenses that are needed to survive and thrive. 

I'm grateful for this internship because it has provided me with new ideas to eat healthier and have the food taste good (not as impossible as it sounds). I also realized how much people bond over food and how it's a gateway to conversation. I definitely appreciate my parent's cooking more and try to help out in the kitchen.

I learned a lot about my strengths, values, and personality that helped me get a better look at who I am. It's kind of hard knowing who you are at such an early age and what characteristics define you, and those quizzes definitely helped. It only helped solidify what I already knew was true, but needed a second opinion on. 

I don't think reflection on the discoveries made make me think any differently about myself. I'm highly opinionated and I have a sense of who I am. It was basically just a summary to me.

Being introduced to google sites, linkedin, and using blogger was really interesting. It was fun exploring new sites and seeing how they could help further our future career. 

I learned that I rely on logic, am genuine, and enjoy long walks on the beach. It was nice to see what my strengths were and what characteristics weren't.

I am very thankful for this opportunity. I feel as though since all us kids live in Marin, we take for granted what we have every day. Other teens in California don't have as nearly as much opportunities for success. Also, check out our views, amazing. The air I breathe is clean and I don't have to wear a mask. I'm thankful for everything (except for all the bad people in the world), even you.
