I choose to do another Learning Challenge this week! Even though it's the third week of school, I am already tired and stressed. For this reason, I choose to focus on Health/Happiness. I am constantly at my desk doing assignments on my laptop. Whether I am just studying or taking notes, everything involves being on my laptop. I become very tired after sitting in one position for too long, and so I am always moving around. To help relieve some tension, I choose to read 6 Yoga Exercises You Won't Be Embarrassed to Do at Your Desk by Linda Steinberg! 

Once I was done reading her article, I immediately tried out the exercises she listed! It roughly took 10 minutes to do everything. Right now, my body is extremely stiff, so I was not able to feel immediate relief. After some time though, I hope I will feel a lot better! My favorite ones that the author discussed were the chair twist and the open chest stretch. All my muscles felt relaxed after I did these two! My goal is to do these exercises for at least two weeks, and hopefully I will be able to see a change!

Becoming a Physician Assistant is my goal, but I am still hesitant and unsure. As you can see, I am indecisive. Although this is the case, I am a very diligent student once I set my mind to something. This last year I was able to maintain a 4.0 GPA and obtain junior standing! In my free time, I love watching movies and sleeping! Netflix is something I am always on. My favorite shows right now are Grey's Anatomy, How to Get Away with Murder, and Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj. This summer, I was able to do both - watch movies and sleep! My family and I also went to Texas, Arkansas, a

Week 7 Story: The Rice and The Man

Image
( The Broken Pot by John D. Batten) The updated version of the story is here on my Portfolio! In a small village in Gujarat, India, there lived a man named Vittap. His name evidently signified his behavior; he guarded his wealth closely.  One day, Vittap had gathered a surplus amount of rice grains from working in his neighbor's fields and begging in the village. Growing rice was no easy task. After eating the rice that same evening, Vittap put the remaining rice in a pot. The pot was hung over his couch so that he could bathe in its glory.  As Vittap became drowsy, he dreamed about his future with the rice. He thought, "My beautiful rice. Oh, how beautiful! If there is a famine, I will always have my rice. Wait, can the rice not make me some profit?" "I can buy a few goats with the rice and eventually have a family of goats!" "I can then sell the goats, and get a couple of cows!" "I can then sell cow milk and purc
