Time Capsule

Welcome back Twiglets! I am so delighted that you are back for some more

blogging! In this post I will be discussing what items I would place in a time

capsule that reflects my life. Enjoy.

Family / Childhood: I was born in raised in Santa Fe, New Mexico and I lived their until I was 9 years old. Many of my childhood memories were made there and because of this I would definitely put the New Mexico flag in my time capsule.

Heritage / Culture / Roots: My mother and my father both have Spanish blood. On my mother's side, her birth father was from Spain and lived their for part of his life. My father also has Spanish blood because his mother's ancestors once lived in Portugal and Spain which is why I think I would put the Spanish flag in my time capsule because many of my family roots come from Spain or Spanish background.

Accomplishments / Achievements: For this category, I would put a cross in my time capsule because my faith is so important to whatever I choose to strive for and in what I accomplish throughout my journey. Even though it is not a specific achievement or accomplishment, my faith plays a huge role in all my accomplishments I have completed.

 

Legacy Left Behind: For my final item, I want to put something in the capsule that symbolizes hard work and dedication. I want people to think of my as someone who worked extra hard and was super determined to follow through with his passion and dream. For me, the item that would symbolize this would be a basketball because one of the best players in the NBA, Kevin Durant, said, "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard."

Now, my capsule would definitely have to be a tree with four branches, one branch for each category so that everyone will be reminded of the great fan base that I have. Keep working hard Twiglets.

My Dreams

Welcome back to another blog post, Twiglets! 

Today I will be talking about dreams and how they have

affected my life.

 In the book, The Glory Field, the reoccurring theme of dreams greatly emphasizes one of the themes of the book, which includes breaking through society's barriers and overcoming obstacles. As for me, my parents have always taught me that no matter what I want to do in life, whether it be in school or my future career, I can achieve it as long as I put my mind to it and work hard. Even though I haven't had to go through many of the struggles that some of the characters in The Glory Field experience, there will always be people who try to bring you down in life, and if you use that as motivation and combine that with hard work, anything is possible.

There will always be lumberjacks that try to cut you down Twiglets, but don't let them stop you from sprouting.
