My Favorite Place

Hello Everyone,
   It’s hard to choose just one place as a favorite but I would have to say the beach.  Living in California we have a distinct advantage of such an amazing coastline unlike anywhere else. We are fortunate in this area to live within a short distance to several beaches. I lived in Santa Barbara for a little more than a year and the beaches were within walking distance.  I grew quite spoiled to say the least.  I find that the sound of the waves calming, even on the most stressful days. Taking the time to enjoy the sun and the sand puts everything into perspective and provides a unique sense of  tranquility.
 However, if relaxing at the beach isn't your cup of tea, it also offers several activities including hiking, surfing or sea kayaking to name a few. I personally would highly recommend taking a guided tour through sea caves.  It's definitely an adventure worth having! I hope you enjoy your next trip to the beach whether it be to relax or explore!

    Hi, Rhiannon,

    Wow, I also really love the sound of the crashing waves of the ocean. It's therapeutic! When I moved here in California three and a half years ago, I lived in Oxnard. There was a beach nearby, around 15 minutes drive, and I really wanted to spend more time there. But unfortunately, I didn't know how to drive then. I bet you miss being in Santa Barbara!

    Thank you for sharing!

    Cheers,
    Regina

Growth Mindset Theory Week

Challenge 3: The student quote I chose was: POWER THROUGH Putting your head down and powering through to the end is the best way to accomplish your task. This could apply to work, sports and so on. Always make sure you put your head down and power through whatever obstacle is in your way for you to achieve what you had set out to do: break that wall down! This has been especially relevant to me as of late. I have allowed obstacles to stand in my way for one reason or another. I am trying hard to remind myself to stay focused on the reasons why I am doing what I'm doing in order to keep myself motivated to finish.

Literary Analysis Week 5

Joaquin Miller      In his writing, Joaquin speaks about the ocean and atmosphere around him in California including the Sierras and the snow beyond.  He seems to be taken aback by the majesty of the area.  He speaks of the ocean and the mines and the opportunities that lie within for the miners and opportunities for trade across the sea.  The opportunities that await all those that venture there.  The way he describes the ocean it's as if he is using it as a metaphor for the endless opportunities he sees in California during this time period.  Being somewhat of a blank slate, so to speak, the opportunity to build a life would be up to those brave enough to make the journey.  The lives they choose to create out of this environment would be completely up to them and how they wish their lives to be.  This no doubt had some influence in his decision to return to California and make his home in the Oakland Hills after traveling abroad and establishing himself as a writer.

Literary Analysis Week 6

     Josiah Royce wrote about the early settlements of California and the atmosphere within the built up cities. He speaks of the structure of businesses and working men within these cities. What drives them, their vices, their motivations and their downfalls. We get a glimpse into the lives of early California settlers and the San Francisco area before it became the area we know and love today.      John Muir writes more about the landscapes and the beauty of untouched nature. Lands that have been previously undiscovered like Yosemite Valley. His many journeys throughout the country undoubtedly left their mark, but the Sierras also left their mark on him. He says the Sierras should be known as the “mountains of light.” He says that every rock in Yosemite seemed to glow. His connection to nature clearly drove him to continue exploring so that he may appreciate more of the lands untouched by men.      George Sterling also seemed connected with nature and was especially drawn to the oc
