Macbeth Letter



Dear Macbeth, you have been diagnosed with paranoia, antisocial personality disorder, and you are also narcissistic. The symptoms you show are that you’re consumed by the anticipation of betrayal and project blame on others. You tend to make impulsive and irresponsible decisions and have a very high lack of remorse for harm done to others. You disregard the safety of yourself and others while lying and other criminal behaviors. I’d characterize you as somewhat of self centered. You are taking advantage of others and only showing self-importance because you are obsessed with fantasies of power. If you are seeking help, I suggest you try to work on yourself and your priorities. You should talk to somebody you trust and try to seek help with them and work on it together. You need to take others and their opinions/feelings into consideration and take the safety of yourself and them very seriously. With that being said, please try to work on bettering yourself and solve these diagnoses soon.
Sincerely,
       Rachel

Fiscal Cliff

The fiscal cliff can potentially send the economy into recession & increase unemployment. The republicans and democrats differ because the republicans just want to cut spending & avoid raising taxes so they won't have to pay taxes on their wealth, while the democrats want a combo of cutting spending & raising taxes. 

I googled fiscal cliff and opened up the first few articles that came up. There was a lot of information about the fiscal cliff but not a lot of information on the democratic and republican positions and how they differed. I didn't necessarily use the strategies, I just googled fiscal cliff and read until I found what I needed. Although they didn't come in handy for this assignment, I will apply these strategies to my own research when trying to find information on my senior project. They'll be very helpful when trying to find specific information.

All About Love

    I think all of the aspects are important when dealing with love, but the most important one I'd have to say is mutuality. If feelings aren't mutual then you can't really move forward in the relationship. You need mutual respect, commitment, honesty, friendship, communication and willingness to make it work. After so long, i believe the romantic love in the relationship is disregarded and forgotten because you're so comfortable with that person that it doesn't seem necessary all the time. Although that person may still mean a lot to you, you might not put in the same effort to show them like you did when you first met. Romantic love also plays a big role in dealing with love. Without romantic love your partner may feel as if you've either stopped loving them or they just don't mean as much as they used to. Ultimately, the lack of any of the 10 aspects could lead to problems in their own way. If you truly want a relationship to last, you should put in all the effort it requires to make each other happy and make it work.

Artistic


The artistic type is very imaginative, creative, and unstructured. Artistic people enjoy being innovative and don’t necessarily prefer a structured and organized routine. I didn’t see very many possible careers that really caught my attention. I have my mind set on what I want to be and nothing there really related to it. The results from this were really different from what I expected. I didn’t think my type would necessarily be artistic. This exercise did not connect to what I originally had in mind. I honestly didn’t know what to expect, but it opened to my eyes to other jobs and professions that are out there.

I chose to follow these blogs because i want to become an Ultrasound Technician. Each blog is about health and indicates what you need to know about the Ultrasound Technician career, to succeed. I want to become an Ultrasound Tech after high school, so I want to know everything I need to know about that field. I need to know about health, fitness, and the body to be able to succeed in this field. It seems rewarding. 

My hero would be my grandma. She’s a hero to me because she always sacrifices and gives to others without expecting anything in return. She puts everybody else’s needs before her own. She’s like the heroes we've read about in the way that she does “good.” She’s a really selfless person; always trying to help whoever she can and be there for them. She makes sure you’re happy and content with everything before worrying about her own self. My grandma’s the most respectful, understanding, and knowledgeable person I know. She never fails to put a smile on my face. She’s the most amazing hero anyone could have.

Do We Need A Hero?



I don’t think our society necessarily needs a hero; it needs more people with hero-like qualities. Although a hero would be great, it would just make more “villains” out of the people that don’t like him/her. I feel like a hero would cause more jealousy in society than happiness because the everyday people wouldn’t get the recognition they deserve. If someone did something amazing like risk his/her life to help a lady out of a burning building, would he get the credit for it? Or would the credit go to the hero that put out the fire after a life was saved? Not everybody would agree with the hero, causing more trouble or chaos.

You don’t have to be a superhero to be considered a hero. The everyday normal person could very well be a hero. People who are brave and risk their life or safety to help others are also heroes. It takes a lot of courage to go out of your comfort zone and put yourself in danger to save someone else. Some qualities that could make you a potential hero are bravery, courage, attentiveness, standing up for what you believe in, going out of your way to help others and many more.

Education

I think education in America is important. Education determines your ability and knowledge to perform certain jobs that you're qualified for. Everyone needs education, whether they think they do or not. It'll help you better understand the world and get you further in life. Without it, nobody would know what or how to do anything. If kids weren’t in school, the crime rates would rapidly increase. School and education are important on many different levels.

Education is very valuable in my life. I want to graduate high school and go to college to study to be an Ultrasound Technician. Although it would take an additional 5 years of school, I want to be more educated and put my knowledge to use. I need education to get where I want to go. Education will help you achieve a more successful and happier life.
