They were the first books my mom ever read to me. She would read them to me a couple nights a week and we would finish around 10 pages a night before I passed out. I still even have the first one she read to me. ]]> 2020-08-25 20:12:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/698540232 jacksonreese https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/698554893 I would read the children's encyclopedias all the time. I would also read the Lego Star wars encyclopedias, College football encyclopedias, and just plain encyclopedias. I really like learning, so me reading encyclopedias as a kid is probably one of the main reasons why I started to love learning as kid.]]> 2020-08-25 20:18:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/698554893 jacksonreese https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/698565503 I still read this book to this day. It is why I love football. My dad got me it when I was 6 or 7. It's just basically record holders and facts about the NFL. Like most sacks in a season, most touchdowns in a game, or like most rushing yards in a career. I would read it all the time. In fact, I read it so much, I once woke up at 10 in the morning, and read that book of like 150 pages 3 times over consecutively. When I was done, it was like 2 in the afternoon.]]> 2020-08-25 20:23:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/698565503 jacksonreese https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/698576746 This book was purchased for me by my nana (grandma). I loved how you could flip parts of the book for interactive activities. I was obsessed with it when I was into my adventure/pirate phase at like 7/8. I would recreate parts of the book. Like when he fought off the Yahoos. Or when he pulled the ships with a rope across the sea. I would get in my grandparents pool and attach string to my floating ducks and boats, and act like I was getting shot at by the boats.]]> 2020-08-25 20:28:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/698576746 jacksonreese https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/698587022 I read both of these books a lot because I was interested in computers at the time. I still am but I was just getting into it when I read these two. I got them from my old school's library. I really enjoyed the Bill Gates one, but not as much as the Steve Jobs one. How he started Apple with Steve Wozniak in his garage, how the first Macintosh was created, and how he introduced the iphone, I was utterly obsessed with Steve Jobs and apple. ]]> 2020-08-25 20:32:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/698587022 jacksonreese https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/698596011 This is my favorite book of all time by a longshot. I loved it so much that when I finished, I was actually somewhat depressed it was over. How easily I could relate to a character so well and fluently might not ever happen to me again. The thoughts and words I've thought and said we're in this book. That's how relatable it was to me. Holden Caulfield and how he just can't stand being told what to do, him hating limits and boundaries, and adults have made a deep connection with me. ]]> 2020-08-25 20:37:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/698596011 jacksonreese https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/698604056 I teared up at the end of this book for many things. How Lennie accidentally smothered a new puppy, how Candy's dog was shot because he couldn't do or experience thing anymore, how Slim drowned four of the 9 new puppies because the mother couldn't care for them all, and an ending that made me tear up. How Curley said that he would kill Lennie the next time he saw him, and how George prevented that got to me.]]> 2020-08-25 20:41:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/698604056 jacksonreese https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/698613267 "Do what's easy and life will be hard, do what is hard and your life will be easy."  - Les Brown

I first heard about it on a game I was playing, Red Dead Redemption 2, and at the very end of the game, what you did throughout the entire story affects the ending. If you were honorable/good karma, you had a good ending. If you were dishonorable/bad karma, you would have a horrible ending. I had the good ending and this song played as the main story ended. This song means to stand strong even if the world around you isn't. It means to carry on and not look back. I play this song when I'm feeling down so I know I can get through it.]]> 2020-08-25 20:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/698625846 jacksonreese https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/698635300 My favorite movie of all time is 2001:A space odyssey. I love this movie because you have to think about it. It's not like a fast and furious movie where they just explode things a get the girl. No way. This movie is up for translation. You can interpret your own way of what Kubrick meant by certain scenes and sequences. He makes think hard enough until you have a clear understanding yourself. It is very creative and very well planned out. I watch it all the time when I study. I get a sense of deep thinking and understanding at the same time. How it's also in space is amazing since I love space a lot. It's not all in space, such as the planet of the primates sequence, but most of it is and I love it. HAl the computer is amazing. The scene when he wins in chess and corrects his opponent is fascinating to me. That is why I deemed it as my favorite movie ever.]]> 2020-08-25 20:58:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/698635300 jacksonreese https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/1266490048 I read this book in 6th grade and was really interested by Kyle's whole view on war, his experiences, and lessons he learned from being in danger 24/7. He talked about how he saw some really messed up things such as guys he had to kill, watching people he loved die, and the politics that caused the war in the first place. I am currently reading it now but I put it here just because I like it alot. I saw the movie which was pretty good, but in my opinion, it was too fast. It was very well done, and I appreciate how it was pretty accurate, but the book was more paced for me.]]> 2021-03-03 23:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/1266490048 jacksonreese https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/1266501985 This book is relatable to me. It is a biography about John Urschel who played football in the Nfl for the Baltimore Ravens, as well as playing at Penn state in college. The 'Mind' part is there because he also majored in mathematics and getting a p.H.D from M.I.T in theoretical physics. Pretty smart dude. I admire his so much because I love math alot and I love football. I didn't think there was a guy who did both at a very high and professional level.]]> 2021-03-03 23:59:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/1266501985 jacksonreese https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/1266508559 I read this book in July-September, but I am counting that. It is just a biography of Steve Jobs. It was written by Walter Isaacson a little bit before Jobs' death. It covered Apple's start, how they started getting recognized and making alot of profit, how he ran the company and had some disagreements with Sculley and Woz, and his personal life later on the book. It was really good, especially the parts where Jobs' said things directly. Like his own words. Really good book.]]> 2021-03-04 00:02:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/1266508559 jacksonreese https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/1266516208 This book was amazing. I read this book a little bit before I started reading Steve Jobs. This book was even better than Steve Jobs I would say, maybe tied a little bit. All it covers is how Musk started life in South Africa, gaining Canadian and American citizenship, going to college and meeting his wife, starting paypal, tesla, and spacex, and his personal life later on. It is really fascinating and I respect the heck out of Musk for working 100 hours a week, the same as my dad who I respect even more. ]]> 2021-03-04 00:06:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jacksonreese/b644dwmn9rz592jr/wish/1266516208
