Our job was to find and SMART goals that we could accomplish between now and the end of August and there were so many but I decided to jot down here the most important ones.
-Complete my Eagle project to benefit myself and my school and everybody involved.
-Finish up merit badges to reach the rank of eagle scout to further me in life with the experiences I've learned.
-Get a part time job that I enjoy to start making much needed money for my future.
-Register for the college of my choosing for an engineering education.

Technology in the Workplace.
From projects and experiences work school work I have become pretty efficient with the applications like mircrosoft excel, word, and powerpoint. I have also been working in CAD modeling programs such as solidworks and Inventor.
To learn any skills like these you need to be a patient learner and not be afraid to ask for help. There would be many jobs in the engineering field that would require me to learn programs like this.

So far in IQuest I have yet to get and internship. My interests are in either Computer Engineering or Civil Engineering because I am interested in both and hope to pursue a career in either of those topics.
The frustrations in this is that I have no intership so I am not able to further myself in these topics or in work experience either. I have done research on both of these careers and still am very interested in both.

My book is called Pushing the limits, New adventures in Engineering by Henry Petroski.
The first 2 chapters in this book are called Art in Iron and Steel, and Bridges of America.
These first two chapters are describing the large structures around the world and the fascinating ways that they came to be. The purpose of this book is to explain the people's thoughts that went throught their heads in order to build these structures.
I am really enjoying this book because it is explaining to me how everything I have been studying in school can be put and addressed into the real world and building the structures of the world.

I Quest Blog #5
"Every day may not be good, but there's something good in everyday" I liked this quote because it talks about a few things, the journeys in life and that everybody needs to think positive and happy thoughts no matter what happened. People need to find the one positive out of a big negative. This quote talks about the journeys in life because you can't take a second step without taking the first so all of your even better days may come from your bad days and that's the easiest positive thing to find in each bad day is that it creates your life's journey.

IQuest Blog #3
Character counts is very important within the country and just even our school district in Cal High. It focuses on being trustworthy, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship. All of these are very important and should each be followed almost religiously.
The one subject of all of these that I'm focusing on is responsibility because I think it is the most important one of them all. The reason I think resposibility is so important is because it is taught to us throughout our lives and we use it every single day, in sports, school, job, family. You need to be responsible in every single one of those and more. You have to take care of yourself and others and actually know what you are doing. Responsibily is just one a of the few moral laws in character counts that should be followed.
