SUMMARY

My week was pretty productive and I got a lot done. I spent most of my week working on this blog post, I finished the outside creativity and the brain along with the practice room and lab. Once I’m done writing this I will turn this assignment in and hopefully it will get a good grade.

CLASSROOM (THEORY & ANALYSIS)

Brief Description of my Work Today:

Today I finished a lot of work. In this class I finished this whole blog post. While in my other classes I spent all day doing homework and finished at least one assignment in each class.

LAB (THEORY PRACTICED)

So many things create tension for me. The amount of homework I have creates tension for me, if there is way to much I get way to stressed and I can’t think straight and I spend my whole weekend finishing homework so I don’t fail my classes. Another thing that creates a lot of tension for me is cross country races, I love running, it’s one of my favorite sports but I don’t like racing against other people, it stresses me out and I feel like I have to beat everyone, and I have to compete against my friends because they are super competitive. Another thing that causes tension is an argument between two people, and they don’t talk to each other for a few days after it and there is a lot of tension on weather they will fight again or not. The final thing in this paragraph that causes tension is cliff jumping, when you are standing on the edge of a 40 foot cliff over water you feel scared and you feel the tension and anxiety building up in you, and then you jump and you hit the water and you realize that was super fun.

OUTSIDE (CREATIVITY & THE BRAIN)

• A lion appears in front of a wolf and the wolf’s babies growling.
• A 13 year old kid has to save the world from and asteroid with a shape shifting pen.
• A worker at a big company has to stop his boss from sending an inaccurate letter stating that he is a criminal.
• A kid and his best friend have too fight for a 10 dollar bill that they found on the ground in the lunch room.
• A mouse is trying to get away from a rat that wants to steal some of the cheese that he has.
• A football game is interrupted by a volcano explosion and the teams have to get to safety.
• A ball is rolling down the road through streets and sidewalks and a kid is chasing it trying to get it back.

STUDIO (FILMING)

I did like this video. The fact that every story is similar in some way was a great discovery, I feel like these aspects and traits are reused so often because they just work and always make for a good story, the hero’s journey has been reused so many times and hasn’t got old because it it the basic guideline for making a good story, if you don’t use anything from the hero’s journey than you would end up with a boring story that nobody reads.

WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED

My daily story starts with this morning. I woke up early to eat breakfast and get a head start on my homework because I the most homework due soon than I have had so far this year. I started on my homework but the WiFi was not working, so I had to go over to my cousins house which solved m problem, and I was able to finish all my homework. What I enjoyed most about today was that once I finished my homework I was able to watch my favorite TV show for a while.

WEEKLY ACTIVITY EVALUATION

On this weeks content and process I really enjoyed it, I think it was the perfect amount of work and I think the process was perfect, timing ourselves and pacing ourselves through this blog post was a great idea.

Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955 in San Francisco, California

Personal Success Definition: I define success as someone who puts in hard work and determination to achieve their goals no matter how big they are. 

Steve Jobs accomplished this because he built stuff all the time throughout his whole childhood, he worked with electronics all the time for most of his life. He then created a powerful business that brought us revolutionary technology such as the mouse and the Iphone. 

Skills for Success: Steve Jobs is a 1). Good leader, 2). Has a great work ethic, 3). Business Manager. Steve was always interested in helping his dad with electrical engineering and just building stuff, when he was interested in something he would put non stop effort into it. He was also a good leader, he pushed his employees harder and harder and gave them the motivation they needed to create the mouse and many other revelations. He managed his business incredibly well, when he was fired by the board Apple went into a decline but it got better again when Steve Jobs rejoined the company. 

Use of these Skills: He and Steve Wozniak used Steve Job’s vision and Wozniak’s programming skills to create Apple and their first good computer. Jobs then used his great leadership to get the best out of his employees so they could then create things such as the mouse. He managed the company incredibly well so it could keep up with Microsoft. 

Challenges Overcome: Steve Jobs had to overcome the fact that his partner’s doubts that their computer would be successful. He had to convince Wozniak to sell the computer so they could start Apple. He was once fired from Apple and without him the company went into a decline and almost went bankrupt but when he rejoined Apple he was able to bring it back to the top. 

Significant Work:
