And Now I'm Wondering
Why did Egyptians mummify?
Reflection
I don't think any of the information I searched for was easy to find at all! I believe the reason it was hard because the way I worded the word search was poorly worded. The easy part about my research was finding the steps on how to perform mummification which I thought was pretty weird. I also had a little struggle finding on why egyptians used to mummify. Although I didn't have many resources I think they are pretty reliable since mostly every resource I used had almost the same thing. And now i'm wondering why did egyptians mummify?

What is being true to yourself?
Being true to myself is not lie to myself. This is probably the most important thing to me this year and for many more. Two years ago I used to lie about almost everything! That got me no where but below ground level. My resolution last year was to stay true to myself and others. so far this has been working out really well for me, I feel like my life got 1000 times better and I have stayed out of problems. I don't care how blunt I seem I will be straight forward with you. I had to learn this with time in a hard way.

Book Reflection
For my independent reading assignment I chose the book called "Freakonomics", by Steve D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner. When I first heard we had to select a book to read independently I freaked out! For one of the first times I was actually going to read a whole book. When I first started reading this book I was reading the introduction that Dc. P then told me it was pointless, he was right... So what I actually got from this book was basically a bunch of different perspectives on different theory on economics. I must say there were some pretty good answers to some of the questions asked in the book, for example the part where it talks about real estate agents. But I would not like to recommend this to another person unless they seem interested on how and why certain groups of people do certain things. I think one of the reasons I picked up this book was because of the cover. It has this green apple with a slice cut out of what seems to be a orange, It also said New York Times Bestseller. I was convinced by what the cover displayed. This whole book was actually pretty challenging but unique to me because it had some confusing vocabulary that I had to keep referencing to. So if you want a sort of challenging book to read next time here is your book !
All-time Greatest Panel
For this project we were all assigned a historical figure in which we had to research everything on them and learn there beliefs and accomplishments. We all had a discussion about the speech Obama made "State of the Union" and basically represent your character and his or hers beliefs according to what Obama said.
Greatest Panel Reflection
This project was pretty fun. I enjoyed almost everything about it. I originally wrote a reflection and put it on my DP but It got erased so I'm basically re writing about this project late. I can remember just being in a conference positioning and I was Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Something I liked about this project was that I was actually able to pretend like I was FDR and take his stance on the topics in which we were debating or talking about. My favorite part was when Dr. P had to change the subject and cut me off because it was going to turn into a like 3 on 1 debate but I was pretty confident in that so I wanted to continue.
