In 2–3 well-developed sentences, reflect on how you spent your Holiday Break. Then, identify four personal you would like to achieve this year and briefly explain why each goal is important to you (Copy and paste your completed response from Writable into your blog).

 Over Winter Break, I went to Louisiana to visit my grandma and other family. On Christmas Eve, I went to church for the vesper service and then had gumbo at my aunt's house. Then on Christmas Day, I opened presents with my family and spent the rest of the day fishing.

My first goal is I hope to save $5000, which will let me have money in case something happens. To accomplish this goal, I will work hard at my job and save 50% of every paycheck.

My second goal is to catch 100 fish. This goal is important to my mental health because I didn´t catch enough last year. To accomplish this goal, I will fish every weekend that I can and won't give up when the fish aren't biting. I will also invest in better gear.

My third goal is to get all A's. This goal will make my parents happy and help me get into college. To achieve this goal, I will study for tests and be sure I don't have any missing assignments.

My fourth goal is to get a 30 on my ACT. This will set me up for college. To achieve this goal, I will study every night and get an ACT tutor.


Today in class, we went over the expectations for the class, then wrote down 4 goals for the year.  I was able to identify and write 4 SMART goals, like the example we were given. These goals give me a plan and path for the year to come, allowing me to focus on what I need to do.

Which part of the annotated bibliography (summary, reflection, or evaluation) was the most challenging for you, and why? Explain how that challenge helped you grow as a researcher and how it will help you when writing your research paper.

 For me the reflection was the most challenging part of the bibliography. This is just because the other parts of the assignment came easy to me and I had to put more effort into making the reflections. This task will improve me research skills by making me think deeper about what my sources have to offer. Today we started our annotated bibliography. this ensures that I am on track to complete my assignments by their due date.

How has completing the annotated bibliography changed or clarified your understanding of your research topic? Discuss how your sources connect to one another and how they are shaping your argument moving forward.

 Completing the annotated bibliography allowed me to reflect and deepen my understanding of my sources. My sources build on each other with the way my shorter sources like new and magazines introduce some popular narratives related to plastic surgery. The rest of my sources then build a deeper understanding of how plastic surgery affects peoples physical and mental health. Today I finished my annotated bibliography, this puts me on track to finish my work on time.
