    The quote "You must be the change you wish to see in the world," by Mahatma Gandhi makes me want to help change the world like: volunteering, having a good attitude towards others. In life, there will always be people who don't care about anything, and just live life with a horrible life; however, that doesn't solve anything in fact it just spreads hate around the world. Therefore, my goals in life are to help volunteer in several occasions. This can help change the world because while volunteering people will realize it doesn't hurt to help the world like cleaning up liter, babysitting, or helping senior citizens; not only will it help change the world but it will help get volunteer hours. Also, having a good attitude towards my obstacles will help spread positive things. Most people have a negative attitude which can lead others to think negative. However, my goal is to think positive because it can help change the world by showing others to always be optimistic.

Favorite Restaurant

Location of TGI Friday's on Google map. 

   TGI Fridays
TGI Friday's Menu
     My favorite restaurant is TGI Fridays which opens at 11:00 am and closes 1:00 am. The nearest one to me is about 28 minutes away; however, you can find the nearest TGI Fridays near you here. They serve a variety of
food like: buffalo wings, mozzarella sticks, and loaded potatoes skins which you can order from their signature appetizers. In their Jack Daniel's Grill you can order Jack Daniel's Rib-Eye, orJack Daniel's Ribs & Shrimp, There are more delicious foods which can be found on their website. However, my favorite dish would have to be their Jack Daniel's Burger filled with juicy meat, tomatoes, cheese, bacon, and a secret sauce; also topped with delicious fries.

Jack Daniel's Buger
     In 1965, the first TGI Fridays opened in New York at the corner of First Avenue and 63rd Street, and made $1 million dollars in their first year. During the year of 1970 TGI Fridays started to spread to different locations like: Tennessee, Dallas, and New York; to learn more on their history you can click here. This is my favorite restaurant because they have great service, amazing food that will send your taste-buds crazy, and it's a great place to get together with friends and family. Also, TGI Fridays is known for bringing people together. However, if you are still curious about TGI Fridays, you can check their reviews. Also, if it's your birthday they always sing happy birthday to you.

Do Now 12/2

I would add a debate class where students have the chance to debate against one an another. The class would meet everyday to practice and prepare for their debates which will be held every two weeks. The students will be handed a list of topics to choose from to debate about if they support it or don't. They will then have a week to come up with questions and start their debates for their topic. The next week the students will have time to revise and prepare for the debate which is the next week.

It would look like a debate class. It would have chairs surrounding two stands in the middle for the debaters and the stands will have a microphone so everyone can hear will their presenting their thesis. It will be a challenge to some students, but after working hard it will feel great. The students will have an debate which count as a final to show that they have improved on their skills, and will be graded on their questions as well. This will show how the students have learned numerous skill in debate class.
