 Today in class we started the movie "As it is in Heaven." We did not get very far into the movie, and Maydo warned us that the movie was a little slow moving. What I gained from the beginning of this movie is that it is about a conductor who is very unhappy with his life. He picks up and moves to a new town and escapes his old life. After this, we did not get very far into the movie, but it taught me that we need to be okay with taking risks and stepping outside our comfort zones, especially if we are unhappy where we are.

 As we work more on our marketing plan, I am enjoying the exercises more and more. My personal favorite for today's was the list of influential people and the list of moments. For the influential people list, I automatically knew who to put down. The first person I wrote was my mom. My mom is my biggest supporter, and one of my role models in life. I strive to be even half as successful, happy, loving, charismatic, and intelligent as she is. Next, I wrote down my friend Lia. I am so influenced by Lia, for so many reasons but mostly because of her mindset. She does whatever she wants and never cares what others will think of her! Lastly, I put my dance teacher, Rachel. Rachel has always been like a second mom to me, and has taught me so much more than just dance. I am so influenced and so honored to know and have these ladies as a part of my life.

 Today in class we watched a video on motivation and positivity. It is so important to be motivated in whatever you do, especially in your career. Motivation is one of the key factors of success. This lesson made me think of my mom. She went to college and studied accounting all the way through her graduation. Once she graduated, she did an internship for an accounting firm and absolutely hated it. Because she had no motivation to do accounting, so she quit and completely changed her career path. Now she owns her own dance studio, and does what she is passionate about every single day. I hope to be motivated in my career like she is one day.

 In today's class, we watched a portion of the movie "the Guardian." I found this movie so moving, as the main character Jake fought so hard to protect his instructor, because he knew that was his main value. After we watched the movie we did a very interesting exercise, where we thought about happy situations and came up with 7 verbs and 7 nouns to describe these situations. We then picked our favorite of each category, and formed a sentence with the verb and noun. Little did we know, this sentence would end up being our personal mission! My sentence is not something I would ever write if I was told to come up with a "personal mission" so it was very eye-opening to see.
