At the age of 8, my core family consisted of my mom, dad, and little brother. My mom had recently changed her hair color to blonde, which I found odd at first. Mom was usually nice, but at that age I found her to be naggy. My dad was rapidly losing weight, thanks to a special surgery he got. I remember thinking my dad wouldn 't be the same after the surgery and it was a bad thing. Looking back I was clearly mistaken. My brother is very large for a little brother, mostly at the waist. We usually…

From my experience during the stock market game I found out that the market is very random and could take the wrong turn at any moment. There will be days where the market will just crash on you or it could go the other way around and you could accumulate a ton of profit. At the beginning of the game I didn’t know what to do so I just bought random stocks that the website suggested to me. I got my friend, who was already familiar with the stock concept because he was in Mr. Barton’s Finance…

Jediism is vastly different form Christianity. Let's start with the view of God. Christians believe in a triune God who created the world and is still working in it. Jedi believe in a force that connects everything in the universe. The best definition I have seen is in episode 8 of the StarWars movies when Luke explains it to Rey. There is also no mention of creation just the force. Jedi also believe that when we die we become one with the force no matter what you believe or how you lived your…
