For Charger Trail there were a couple of things I think I did very well. I thought that I listened to others ideas patiently even if I didn’t think they would work. For example, during the marble challenge. I listened to Alex’s ideas even though some of them I didn’t completely agree with. I still think I need to work on accepting being more of a follower than a leader sometimes. At my old school I was usually the one during projects who took on the leader role, so it’s kind of hard for me to follow other people. I still need to work on that. I also think that I tried to keep a positive attitude when things were getting tough. During the maze I started following Rohan’s example and started showing people what to do. I needed to be a little more positive during that because when people hesitated too much it kind of frustrated me. I didn’t really understand why they were stopping and I kept hitting the place they were supposed to go really hard to get them to go there and trust me. That was unfair since when I was doing the maze I hesitated too.

TCP- Career Research
TCP part 3
I want to be a lawyer. Lawyers act like advocates and advisors. Lawyers are like advocates because they represent people in court. They’re also like advisors because lawyers talk to people about their legal rights and tells them the best thing they can do in their situation. Lawyers can do many different things. I want to be a family lawyer. That’s someone who deals with divorce, child custody, adoption proceedings, and other things regarding the family.
To become a lawyer I needed to have 7 years of college. I needed 4 years of undergrad and then 3 years of law school. You’ll need a J. D. degree from a law school that’s been credited from the American Bar Association. They’re the ones that say that law schools meets certain standards. You need to have a bachelor degree to get into most schools. You also need to be good at public speaking, English, government, history, economics, and mathematic. Most of those I liked but doing government, history, and economics was a little harder for me.
It didn’t hurt to do some school sponsored legal clinics and a practice trial. Some skills I needed were helping solve problems, building relationships with clients, problem solving, speaking, and writing skills. When I first got hired I worked with experienced lawyers, than after a couple of years I got hired to a partnership. Even with that training my first employment was only $54,310. Employment is going to grow about 10 which is the average. The costs of clients are going to reduce. It’s going to be tough to compete since there are more and more lawyers but I knew I could do it.
A Snip of my Culture- Verse
In my church you need to be a youth to get baptized. That means you need to be in middle school, high school, or older. You also have to take classes and it’s a big responsibility. I love my church which is why my third cultural universal is religion and shared belief. I’m a Baptist and I go to Greenwood Forest Baptist Church. I care about my religion very much. I hold God very close to my heart and always try my best to think about Him and use Him in m daily life. I was introduced to church at a very young age since my parents and extended family are either Baptist or some other form of Christianity. I personally think that people descend to heaven, but I try not to question that too much. I love my church so I’m going to be baptized there at about 14.

Character Faves!
My favorite character so far is Wendell. What I like most about Wendell is how he treats Ana. He lost both his son and his wife so he was left with pretty much no one. He was really depressed. Even though he’s been through a lot, he still cares about her. On page 12 it says ” ‘Get up here quick!’ … I ran up the stairs.” That shows that when he thought she might be hurt he came running. Another thing I like about him is that he overcame all of the horrible things that have happened to him and decided to change. It takes a lot of strength to look on the bright side of things when things are going so badly. He went from a depressed person to an optimist, like me. Wendell’s brave to try to help the things he can, and that’s really difficult. The fact that Wendell did that makes him m favorite character.
