-Intro to Psychology 

-Principles of Microeconomics 

-FYI – Identity: Experiencing Race 

-Electronic Spreadsheets  

Mediology

This is one of the various topics talked about at the retreat… 

Mediology:

Media is at the heart of new social control.

The objective is to stop the younger generation is to stop the critical thought and to become self-aware.

It begins with things that already interests the audience.

Who we truly are not who we portray to be.

Challenging media and our own personal views.

In Progress

Amazing... Just amazing.

Words.

Aloha.

Infrastructure.

Education.

Community.

Culture.

Gratitude.

These are just a few of the words on the minds of some highly intelligent individuals here at Jerry's Retreat. What do these words mean to you? How do they relate to those around you? What is their significance? Each word is a symbol of an individual's thought at that particular moment in time. The words are not necessarily directly related, but yet they are still connected in a way. The thoughts we develop and share through words exposes an opportunity to create conversation in which morphs into a learning experience. By the usage of a single word, we are able to grow and flourish for both ourselves and for society. 

Fear.

"What are you afraid of? You've got a chance to change everything. TAKE IT. This is about choices you make in life. This is about finding that one thing that sets you free. You need to believe in yourself or none of this matters."

I am just one of the many new incoming freshman next year, but that still doesn't make it any easier to leave those that I love and the familiar places in which I associate with home. The idea of college is scary…. it's a monumental change that will shape who we were, who we are, and who we will be. Every time I think about it, I get both a feeling of excitement and fear. I will be going to a university thousands of miles away all by myself. Now, this won't stop me from achieving my goals in which I have set for myself. I will strive to be the best I can be; I will impact those around me; I will continue to learn; I will be the change that I fear; I will be me.

Just the Beginning!

  

Time to begin!

Nervous...

          My nerves are bouncing off the walls in both positive and negative ways. I'm absolutely exstatic about being able to have the opportunity to go on this retreat, but I'm worried about my presentation. The audience is a group of highly intelligent individuals, who are role models of mine. Each have a thrist for knowledge and that is something I admire greatly. I want to be able to present a great presentation that sparks conversations and learning. Hopefully, I am able to do so! 

Wish me luck! 

Songs for Days!

I apologize for not posting the daily song, but this week as been insane due to AP testing. So, they are listed below! 

Tuesday: Another Brick in the Wall by Pink Flyod.

Wednesday: Baba O'Riley by The Who.

Today: Cardiac Arrest by Bad Suns 

The Time is Now.

When I walked out of room 617, I realized that I had just completed my final AP exam ever, which is absolutely surreal to me. Each AP student becomes accustomed to taking AP tests year after year, but that all ends this year. 

As a senior, I only have 2 more weeks left at Righetti High School. The memories and learning experiences I've had over the past 4 years are unforgettable. That may sound cliche, but it is the truth.

Now, it's time to focus on living in the moment. From now till I leave for college, I'm going to enjoy every moment and spend time with those that I love. "The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience." The time is now.

Songs of the Weekend and Today!

Saturday (PROM DAY): The Remedy (I Won't Worry) by Jason Mraz
Sunday (HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!): Mama by August Alsina
Today: Coldest Zone by J Boog

Song of the Day

“So am I wrong?

For thinking that we could be something for real?

Now am I wrong?

For trying to reach the things that I can't see?

But that's just how I feel,

That's just how I feel

That's just how I feel

Trying to reach the things that I can't see.”

The song of the day is…. Am I Wrong by Nico & Vinz.

Song of the Day

“I bust the windows out your car

You know I did it cause I left my mark

Wrote my initials with a crow bar

And then I drove off into the dark

I bust the windows out your car

You should feel lucky that that's all I did

After five whole years of this bullshit

Gave you all of me and you played with it.”

The song of the day….. Bust Your Windows by Jazmine Sullivan.

Wow...

Well… I just completely embarrassed myself in front of a large group of high intelligent individuals! Wow… I can't even think of the right words to say right now! I made a mistake and then got frazzled, which didn't help the situation and caused me to make even more. Honestly, they were silly/stupid errors, but I definitely learned my lesson there! I'm happy that I was able to make those mistakes because it turned into another learning experience. I'm only 18 years old, so this will not be the last embarrassing mistake I make, but I am going to use it as a way to grow as a student and individual! :)

Song of the Day

"IMA TELL THE TRUTH AND THE WHOLE TRUTH CUZ THERE AIN'T NO NEED TO LIE AND I AIN'T TRYIN' TO KEEP IT ALL INSIDE SO I GOTTA TESTIFY…"

The song of the day is…. Testify by August Alsina

Song of the Yesterday

The song of the yesterday was… Misery Business by Paramore!

Song of the Day

Baby even though I hate ya

I wanna love ya

I want you you you

And even though I can't forgive ya

I really want to

I want you you you 

Head in the clouds

got no weight on my shoulders

I should be wiser

and realize that I've got

one less problem.

The song of the day is…. Problem by Ariana Grande feat. Iggy Azalea and Big Sean.

Song of the Day

"Girl I know sometimes that I mistreat you, and you still come back

And I see your homegirls try to reach you, but you ain't hearing none of that

They try to get through, they say I ain't the move

I don't know, cause girl it might be true

When they tell you, you should walk away but you stay anyway."

The song of the day is…. You Deserve by August Alsina.

You deserve all the love, you deserve all the love

You deserve all the care, you deserve all the care

You deserve all that and more, you deserve all that and more

You deserve better, you deserve better

You deserve to laugh, you deserve to laugh

Baby you deserve to smile, baby you deserve to smile

You deserve the best of everything

You deserve better.

Right or Wrong?

"There are only two ways to live your life, only two ways to be. One is the right way, the other the wrong way. The right is to give, to share, to love. The wrong way is to snatch, to exploit, to accumulate. Love and money are the symbols of these two ways. Money is neurosis, love is ecstasy. Love is the right way and money is the wrong way."

Song of the Day

The song of the day is Change Your Life by Iggy Azalea feat. T.I! :) Happy Friday everyone!
