I find tinkering is a great way to reduce stress. Going home after a long day and just taking things apart, learning how they work, watching a few youtube videos on how to improve them, and putting them back together is one of my favorite things to do. Nothing feels better to me than improving something I have to be better than more expensive versions of it. Even if I get frustrated I can just move on to something else and go back to that item later.

Tinkering is a great way to learn how things we take for granted everyday function. So one day if they break and they need fixing you know how to fix and you don't have to spend all the extra money on a new item or get an expensive repairman to come fix it. I think tinkering is a great way to learn about the things around you and how they work.

    That an interesting pass time you've got there. I do think you are right though. It is going to learn about the things around you.

    Everyone has their own things that help them relax. If you get really good at tinkering, you could be successful in robotics!

How Closely do you Listen to Lyrics

     I chose this prompt because I think listening closely to lyrics can either make or break a song. This message and what the artist is saying or describing is the most important thing about a song. If the artist is just describing a meaningless event or simply just talking to rhyme words that is pointless and boring. Artists such as Eminem and Royce Da 5'9" have meaning to their songs and can tell a story while still having a great flow and imagery. So whether you are in the mood to listen to a story or just listen to the flow of the words these artists will satisfy. Sometimes understanding lyrics to songs is difficult but with practice, you can understand they lyrics fairly easy.      The lyrics to a song is like listening to a poem that tells a story the artist can use their voice to make the words flow a certain way and make the listener feel a certain way. For example, The Way I Am by Eminem and Wait by Royce Da 5'9" both tell a great story and have a deeper m

Strengths and Weaknesses

Some of my strengths are my ability to add vivid detail at times when I feel necessary. This can help with almost all types of writing. In personal narratives it helps the reader feel like they are witnessing the event. In literary analysis I can describe the effect something has on the story very well. In research papers I can describe events and the effects of the events in great detail. Some of my weaknesses are not being able to understand the deeper meaning in certain things. Sometimes I can understand the deeper meaning in things just fine but other times I just think we are over analyzing it and there is nothing deep at all. But I can work on this by continuing to make connections and relate things with deeper meanings to modern day and things I understand so I understand them.

Summer Story

     During my summer my family and few other friends went to Lake Conroe, Texas for an end of the summer get away. While we were there we did many lake activities such as fishing off the dock, canoeing, swimming, and we rented a boat. Today I'm going to talk about our boat rental experience. We rented a pontoon boat which was advertised as a performance package. We picked this package because we decided we would go tubing. When the boat first got back to the house the young children got to go first. When they got back they told us the boat was a little slow, but we did not care because we still got to go tubing. The boat was extremely slow, but none the less the tubing was fun. However we got to half a tank of gas and decided we would go to the boat rental place and get gas and then we could tube around closer to the place.      On our way to the boat rental place we pulled in the tube because the water started to get rough. Eventually after a few minutes of slow traveling (ab
