Have one ever wonder if one goes in the right path of one’s life? Well,if one taking Myers Briggs Test Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test,then one will definitely know if one do. This test asked one about 71 questions about oneself.When the result of the test come out, one will get a four letter result,in which one have to go to a personality page to see the description of it.As for me,I received ISFJ, which according to the personality web page,is the nurturer.The nurturer related to me because in my real life,I am currently taking care of my cats and my sister.For the cats,I found them at my house about a year ago.I decide to keep them because I do not want to give them to the shelter animal control and because I know that there is a high chance of them being killed.At first my parents do not want me to keep the cats,but as time goes by,they started to like my cats and started to love them like I do.I take care of everything about the cats like buying cat food,buy litter,and take them to the veterinarian for their yearly shots, check up or when they have any problems.Now,they are currently one year old and they are healthy cats.As for my sister,I always take care of her because she have a mental problem.I always told her to take the medication daily so that she won’t forget to take it.Also,I always spend a lot of time with her because I want her to get better for her condition.I always kiss and hug her so that she could feel that I love her very much.

For the research paper,I chose to do the “Who am I?” alternate final paper.It is because I wanted to know what career or job would be the best fit for me in the future.Even though right now I want to be a nurse,I am not sure if that is what I really want to do.As for the result of the Myers Briggs Test Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test,I received a nurturer.It stated that my personality is warm and kind-hearted,I value harmony and cooperation,and I am very sensitive to other people’s feelings.It also states that I have a strong sense of duty and that I am hard-working and have the ability to respond quickly to a situation.I agree with this statement.I plan to write about my personality,my personal growth,relationships, and my career according to the test result.The next thing that I will do is write about my career plan;for example,what job I will be doing and the role and salary of the job.I will also write about the skills a person needs to have to qualify for the job.The sources that I will use are www.personalitypage.com/portraits.html, http://www.bls.gov/OCO/,and a book source. Hopefully,when I finish writing this research project,I will have a better understanding of myself and what jobs will be best compatible with me.

I think that the field trip to Griffith Observatory was great.When we got to the museum,Mr.Hsiao picked about five team leaders,and my sister and I choose Archie because he seemed like a nice person.After that,we all headed to Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon Theater to watch the film called The Once and Future Griffith Observatory,which is about the Observatory’s history and how it was renovated and expanded in 2002.I enjoyed watching the film.The part that I found funny in the film is that the founder of the Griffith Observatory has Griffith as both his first and last name.The part of the film that I found to be surprising was when the narrator explained and showed how the construction workers were able to find a way to lift the whole Observatory and build a lower level beneath it.After about twenty-five minutes of watching the film,we headed to the “Gunther Depths of Space” section in the lower level of the Observatory.There,we got to see “The Big Picture”,which is the largest astronomical image ever produced.We also got to see how much we would weigh if we were on each of the nine planets.After spending about thirty minutes in there,we headed to “Samuel Oschin Planetarium”,in which we saw the film called “Centered in the Universe”.I really liked this film because the screen is very big and it is above one’s head.When the film started,I felt like I was really there in the sky,galaxy,or the place that the film took us to learn about how the universe was formed.After that,we went to the outside of the Observatory to take some pictures of ourselves.About twenty minutes after that,we went to eat at the “Café at the End of the Universe”.There,my sister ordered strawberry parfait and a packet of assorted cookies.As for myself,I did not order any food because I did not want to waste my money.I had brought some Lindt Lindor Truffles from home,so I ate some of those.My sister also gave me some of her cookies.After spending about forty minutes at the café,my sister and I went and took many pictures of ourselves inside and around the Observatory.My sister and I enjoyed walking inside and around the museum taking many pictures of each other.We liked how it was so pretty to see all the city’s light down the hill.It was like we were in heaven.We had such a great time with each other.Then about 8 PM,my sister and I decided to go wait at the meeting spot.We then headed to the front lawn of the Observatory.It was so dark there because the light was not turned on.My sister and I could not see who was who around there.About fifteen minutes later,we found our team leader and we followed him to the tour bus.We had to wait on the bus for around thirty minutes because some people were missing from the bus,and then around 9 PM,we left the Griffith Observatory. Overall,I liked this field trip,and I am looking forward to going to more field trips in the near future.

The gender of the speaker is unknown,but I would guess that it might be a guy.I think that the speaker is writing this poem for his loved one,which I think is likely to be his girlfriend or his wife.I think that the speaker is complimenting his girlfriend that she make him to love himself more.Before he met her,he would probably not love himself as much as he is now when he is when her.His girlfriend probably doing something or giving something to the speaker that make him a better man.His girlfriend sort of make the speaker feel that he is becoming a new person from all the love and caring that she had given him.I believe that this poem is about flattering the speaker's loved one.

On the morning of the field trip,my mother decided to drop off my sister and I in the school parking lot.This was because I felt too sleepy to drive.When we got there,we waited for about twenty minutes until we actually got on the bus.My sister and I were surprised at how few people went on the field trip with us.There were only about twelve or thirteen students that went on the trip.I guess that it was because people did not want to help or did not want to wake up early.The bus ride to the church at Garden Grove took about thirty minutes.When we got to the church,we had to go inside the gym.Inside,there were chairs lined up along the outside of the big basketball court.The people were sitting in those chairs,patiently waiting for the time when they would receive free food.My sister and I went outside the church to help unload the food from the truck to the table.All I saw were dry foods like yams,potatoes,onions,canned foods,and vegetables.After we finished unloading the food,we had to decide what food we wanted to unpack and place in the plastic bags to give to each family.My sister and I decided to do the yams.We had to put five yams in each plastic bag.I believe it took us about an hour and a half to finish putting the yams in the plastic bags.After that,the people started to get in line to get the free food.It was no surprise to me the amount of people who took advantage of getting food,especially in this recession period.At first,I wanted to be the person who gave the bags with yams to the families,but there was already a person doing that.My sister and I then decided that we had to be the helpers.We would help the people carry their food boxes.Most of the students from Cerritos College were in line to be the helpers.My sister and I did not really want to do it,so we decided to stand in the back of the line.About forty-five minutes had passed and we did not end up helping because other people were always volunteering to go up instead.At the end,we did not have to do it at all.I felt kind of disappointed that I did not get to help as much as I could have.I wanted to come into contact with the people I was helping.I would have liked to not be sitting around so long and do more tasks for the church that was helping the people.I thought to myself that next time,I would try to help them more.We left the church around 11:30 AM to go to Tasty Goody Chinese Food.When we got there,I ordered fried chicken wings and spicy spare ribs to go.My sister ordered fried chicken wings and fried rice.I did not want to pay extra for the rice,so I decided that I would eat my food at home.It was because I already had rice at home.Because of that,I decided to go get a Venti Double Cholately Chip Frappuccino Blend Crème drink at a nearby Starbucks.My sister also wanted a Grande Strawberries & Crème Frappuccino® Blended Crème.After about forty-five minutes,we got on the bus and headed back to school.I called my mother to pick us up a little bit late,so she came at the time that we were taking a group picture.At first,I thought that we might have to wait for her a little bit longer,but it was great that she came at the right time.Overall,I think that the trip was okay.
