Leaving my phone with Ms. Moran for the day felt like leaving my kid. It is the only thing I am really responsible for and I just left it. Around me I noticed more kids on there phones and how much time you are really on it during the day. Also i learned that kids communication skill these days aren't as strong as they used to be before phones and technology. Now that I had my phone gone for a school day I really wish that phones didn't have such a huge impact on this generation. I think that having immediate communication with our peers is a good and bad thing. Good because if you don't see family a lot or if you need to ask questions or just to talk to someone. But also bad because it an cause many fights and if you just need a break from one you don't have to talk to them.

A Netflix original series called Stranger Things is a good example of transcendentalism. A group of four boys who were outcasts had a large issue to deal with. Other students in the school were making fun of them for being different. The four boys were very intrigued by science and technology. One night three of the boys were riding bikes home and the last boy rode of into the woods and never returned. This lead the rest of them to try to find Will, the missing boy, with using their smarts in science and technology. Other kids bullied them for being "freaks" and having such a strong interest in recusing there friend.

I like this quote because it says to go with your gut it knows the way and what’s right for you.

You don’t have to say what everyone else is saying, speak up to what you think is right and what you believe in.

Thoreau quote “If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer” means that if a man is not keeping up with what society wants him to he found his own path. He made it a different way and didn't follow everyone else. This to me means that there isn't just one way to do something and you can find a different route with your own mind. I can relate to this quote because I remember in third grade when everyone washing soccer and that was the biggest sport to do. So I joined a team and I wasn't that good at it and I found that it wasn't for me. instead of staying with a sport I didn't really enjoy I switched to cheer leading. I found a better passion for me and I still cheer to this day. others would make fun of me for a little bit and called me the "dumb blonde cheerleader" but I didn't really care because it was a something I found and really loved. Also it was different from everyone else.

A choice I had to make was removing myself from certain relationships. It's definitely changed my life for the better. I got rid of a lot of negativity and gained more positive vibes. Looking back at this situation I wouldn't change anything. It was learning path and it let me know who my true friends are.

If I was to leave on a trip and may not return the top things I would bring would be my bed, a credit card, and phone. My bed because it is really comfy and I would want that with me if I never came back home. A credit card so I can buy what I need like food and clothes. Lastly my phone because I would need to take pictures and say goodbye to people. If I was leaving and not returning and had to say bye to the people I love I would probably do it in person because then I could give them a hug for the last time.

The author Henry David Thoreau says he hates society. He thinks that everyone hates being misunderstood but thats what makes a person a person. Also all the best well known people were often misunderstood, so why wouldn't you wanna be? I agree with Thoreau that society today is bad. Everyone is so worried about how people view them. Kids these days are worried about how many likes they get on Instagram or how many followers they have.  Nobody can be themselves or their own personality with out feeling or people laughing at them.

This quote by Thoreau is saying that you choose your life. You make the decisions and action that shape  how you live. You write your story. My dreams are to be happy and live my life to the fullest. I want to travel and make fun memories. Spend more time with the people I love and do what makes me happy. I can work hard and set realistic goals.
