This thanksgiving I plan on hanging out with my friends and family for the most part. I also plan on going Black Friday shopping with a couple friends. This thanksgiving I also plan on working out in the weight room but also going to the soccer fields by my house to practice on some footwork and skills to stay in shape for when practice starts up the following week. I will be assisting my grandpa also because he will be having knee replacement surgery and will not be very mobile for a little while. I am having a turkey bowl this Sunday with my youth group and the adults of my church. This is where we all get together and play flag football. My church has also asked me to move around some stuff to help decorate for Christmas season. So yes, my break is completely full.

For a student like me, that has a lot of extra curricular activities, it is hard to find a job that is willing to work with you to meet your needs and for the most part work on your schedule. I believe that clothing stores are really good at that. For example, I happen to be employed at Hollister at Uptown Village in Cedar Hill. They are very good about working with your school schedule and helping you being able to work a reasonable amount of hours. I also found out that the website I went to happens to make it very easy for you to search the kind of job you want and need. It is very user friendly and anyone can do it. Whenever you prepare for an interview you never want to overdress but it is appropriate to look your best at the same time. I recommend when searching for a job go to jobflagalerts.com, put in your information, and began looking for jobs.

As soon as we started watching the movie, I instantly began to think about my dad and myself. This movie really touched home with me in having a lot of similarity to my own life. My situation is not as severe as Liz's situation in the movie but has a lot of similarities at the same time.In a lot of ways this movie put some humility in me and convicted me for not having the same resilience as this girl did. She demonstrated that anyone can achieve greatness, its just the matter of putting forth the effort. I want to finish out my school career the best I can and make a better life for myself as Liz did for her. One of my favorite parts of the movie to me was when she wins the New York Times scholarship. The fact that this movie is a true story encourages me so much to do better and want to achieve more in life. I haven't been quite as resilient in my own life so far, but that is going to change from here on out.
