LO7/C Cooking and Sharing Thanksgiving

    During the morning of Thanksgiving, I decided I wanted to help my mom cook for Thanksgiving dinner. So, I went to go help my mom who was already prepping food in the kitchen. We started by making green beans. I first grabbed the air fryer to cook the green beans in. Then I put the green beans in the air fryer along with some garlic. Next, I started to help my mom with the spinach artichoke dip. We used mayonnaise, spinach, artichoke hearts, and parmesan cheese. I was the one that combined the ingredients together and then put them in a bowl to be cooked. We then started prepping the main dish: lobster pasta. I put the lobsters in a boiling pot of water. I waited for five minutes, and then I took them out and cooled them off in some cold water. After, my mom and I worked to help pull the tail meat out to use in our pasta. Once we finished that, I got a pot and put some water in it for the pasta. After 15 minutes, it started boiling, which meant it was time to put the pasta in. Next, I got started on the mashed potatoes. My mom and I put them in boiling water so that they would soften. I then told my mom I wanted to share this Thanksgiving meal with our community, so I put in extra potatoes to make a plate of mashed potatoes for my neighbors. After the next few hours, everything was finished and ready to be eaten and shared.

    As one can see my ethics are for helping people. I decided in the morning that I was going to help my mom cook Thanksgiving dinner because it is a difficult task that one shouldn't do alone. Moreover, another one of my ethics consists of sharing. I think it is incredibly important to share whenever you can. With this being said, I went to make a plate of mashed potatoes for our neighbors, as I feel this is a good way to engage and help with my community. Overall, my ethics for helping people and sharing are strong inside me, and I plan to further develop them more throughout my life.

LO2/A Learning to Ride my Skateboard Again

     When I was younger, I would always love to go skateboarding. I started skating when I was around 8 years old, and I couldn't stop. I started going to the skatepark constantly to improve my skills. I even ended up having to beg my mom during school days to take me to the skatepark for an hour so that I could have the enjoyment of riding my skateboard. I kept on skating until I was around 13 when I started to not do it as much. The reason being that this was the point when I became super busy with different extracurriculars and homework, which caused me to stop skateboarding as much. However, 4 years later, I rekindled my love for skateboarding after trying it again on my summer vacation.      My family for the past two years has taken a trip to California in the summer. Before we went, I was undecided if I should take my skateboard or not. After thinking about it for a while, I gave in and decided to bring my skateboard with the doubt that I would end u...

LO1/A Mastering the Putter

     A couple of days ago, I was extremely bored. So, I decided I would go to the golf range and practice my putting. I had played 9-holes a couple of times before I went to the range, and my putting was preposterous. Whenever I got to the green, I was making 3-5 putts, which is terrible. Putting this into perspective, one should usually make 2 putts every hole. However, I was not doing that when I went to play 9-holes. This is why I decided I was just going to the golf range to practice my putter because that is what needs the most work in my golf game. With all of this being said, I packed my golf clubs in the car and drove over to the Hermann Park golf range. Once I arrived at the golf range, I parked my car and immediately walked over to the putting green. When I got to the green, I proceeded to grab my putter and three golf balls. I then chose a golf hole and put my three balls on the ground about a foot from the hole. After this, I started putting. From a one foot d...

LO2/S Volunteering at the Community Garden

     A while back, my parents asked me if I wanted to go to volunteer at a community garden later that day. I said "Yes" as I wanted to help volunteer. With this being said, I waited a couple hours until we left the house and headed over to the community garden. Once we got there, we were greeted by the person leading the volunteer experience at the garden as well as other eager volunteers just like myself. The lead person then started to talk about what we were going to do. He said that we would be working in groups to help pick weeds and prepare the soil for plants that would be planted. Once he said this, I got in a group with my mom, dad, and another family. We decided as a group that we were going to pick weeds. This means we went over to one of the vegetable beds to start picking weeds. Everyone in my group was picking weeds and not seeming to have a problem. However, about an hour later I started to have some trouble with my back. My back started to be in excruciat...
