C - Learning Outcome 2

This past week I downloaded a new app onto my Xbox that I have been playing with some of my friends. In the game, you control two cubes, one blue and one red, and the objective is to get them to their "home base". Players have to solve a different puzzle each level trying to get the cubes to their objectives. As you progress through the levels they get harder, introducing new challenges to overcome, including red and blue spikes and lasers which only cubes of the same color can pass through, portals you can teleport between, and buttons to press that move other blocks around and activate spikes/lasers. This game has proven a lot more challenging than previously believed, some of the levels take me up to 25 minutes to complete. Due to the difficulty of the levels I have found it necessary to come up with new perspectives and creative ways to overcome the present challenges. One of the most difficult levels was where I had to figure out how to block a laser off so that I could pass though to get to the objective, I was working on this level with another of my friends and it still took us a full 25 minutes to solve it. The good thing about this game is how we are learning resourcefulness and creativity on how to solve these levels and we were able to develop our thinking skills.

A - Learning Outcome 7

These past few weeks I have been carpooling to and from school with Andreas Cantu on Thursdays. We do this so that we can get to school and it is easier for his parents as well because this way I can take him to school and to volleyball practice in the afternoon and then back home. This past week I also drove him to volleyball practice on Tuesday because he didn't have a ride and I had a little bit of time after school ended to go pick him up and then get to the Bissonnet campus on time. I consider these carpools very ethical because it not only is better for Andreas to have a ride who has the same schedule as him, but also it is very effective in limiting carbon emissions since we are cutting in half the number of cars it would take to transport us both to school. It is also ethical because it saves his parents a couple of trips back and forth because they both work closer to the Bissonnet campus and I don't want them to be driving back and forth all day.

S - Learning Outcome 6

 This past week I was able to participate in a service event where we were preparing food for hungry people over Thanksgiving. It was nice because we were working on a project that tackles hunger which is happening all over the world and affects millions of people. We had a group of people that was unloading the raw turkeys from a truck that had shipped a lot of them to where we were working. Another group was unpacking them and cutting them in half so they would be easier to cook. A third group was seasoning them and transporting them to the large smokers that we were using to cook them as efficiently as possible. There were a couple of hours that were slower because the smokers were full so we were waiting for a group of the turkeys to be cooked so we could put the next group in. There was also a group working inside packaging vegetables and mashed potatoes and other sides so they could be delivered with the turkey. This year doing this project was a little bit harder because we ...

A - Learning Outcome 1

 Recently I had the opportunity to put a skill to use that I had always wanted to. I was going with my friend to the store to get blueberries to take to their sibling. On the way one of the tires popped and we had to pull off onto a side street to take a look. I was excited because I knew how to change a tire and I wanted to use that ability, otherwise it was quite unfortunate. Once we checked the back to start changing the tire I realized we didn't have a car jack so it was impossible to change the tire, so I suggested we go back to my house since it was close and use the car jack in my moms car. Unfortunately it wasn't until we got to my house very slowly with a flat tire that I remembered I had been home alone before my friend picked me up and the car wasn't there with the jack. So then we awkwardly asked the neighbor for a car jack and they were nice and helped us out, so in about 25 minutes we had a new tire on the car and it was quite fun, although we had to improvise...
