Death of A Salesman Reflection

One thing I learned from our class question session is how much we pay attention to the relationships that are forming throughout the story, primarily that of Biff and Willy. Nearly every question was about these relationships. It is interesting to see how these relationships have been formed and broken and how they are applicable to us.

New Year's Walk

As I took my walk today, I wanted to reflect on 2015. I went to some of the places that influenced me more last year. Mainly my neighborhood and the Golf Course nearby. As I was surrounded by the beauty of nature in my neighborhood, I realized that the biggest regret that I have from 2015 was that I haven't been thankful enough for what I have. I realize that there are many things that I am blessed with that others are not, such as my friends, my family, and a roof over my head. Over the next year, that is definitely something I want to fix next year.

As cheesy as it may sound, I try my hardest to make a New Year's Resolution every year for myself. I look at these Resolutions as a road map to become a better person than I was the year before. For 2016 my New Year's Resolution is to cement the bonds that I have made at Seattle Christian so that they will last even after we graduate. You only get one shot at making these friends, so its important to be a good friend to others so that you can maintain these relationships going into the rest of your life.

Lastly, I realize that I need to face my problems head on. This last year has been all about excuses about why I don't need to do this or that I shouldn't do that. This next year, as I go off to college, it will be filled with unknowns. I need to tackle all the challenges that I face with an open mind, so that I can defeat any problem that I come across. If I let these challenges cripple me, I'm not going to get anywhere in my life. I hope to make 2016 an even better year than 2015 was!!!!
