Siddhartha Reflection Essay - Enlightenment Journey & Self-Deprivation
For a week, we had to give up one thing that we couldn't live without, and so I gave up eating desserts. I found this to be very positive for my weight, because I was able to loose a few calories after disciplining myself for an entire week. This essay focuses on the effects of my self-deprivation experience, and compares it to the enlightenment journey Siddhartha endured in the book Siddhartha.

Cultural Literacy Podcast - The Panthéon (Paris, France)
My topic for the cultural literacy podcast is Le Panthéon, in Paris, France. I found this topic to be particularly interesting, because I got the chance to learn more about worldwide monuments, which I enjoy because when I graduate college, my goal is to pursue a career in architectural design. I found this also to be interesting, because Le Panthéon was culturally significant to France.

Bless Me Ultima Project - Quarter 3 Outside Reading Book
For my third quarter reading project, I did Bless Me, Ultima.
