Week 13 review

This is so cute! [source]
I really enjoyed watching this video in its entirety. Everything he said is true. I often find myself wondering how to be genuinely happy. When I went through a bad break-up I kept asking myself what made me happy. I was so used to my boyfriend that it felt like once he wasn't there anymore I wasn't happy either. I searched and searched for things that brought me happiness but it was pointless.  It took me a while to finally realize that I needed to appreciate everything in my life because others aren't so fortunate. Once I started being grateful for everything in my life I started to feel happiness. Everything was right at the right time. He spoke about opportunities and I think it is so important to appreciate every opportunity we get because we aren't guaranteed anything. We have that moment and we have to appreciate it for what it is. "Opportunity is the gift within every gift", this was my favorite quote from the video.

    Hi Cathy! The ted talk video that you have chosen to review for your blog is very interesting. And you’re right! It seems like what he said throughout his presentation is true! Sometimes, we tend to forget how grateful we are due to other distractions that makes us feel down. It is always important to take care of yourself and find your true happiness. Keep up the great work!

My name is Catalina Cardenas. I am a Senior at the University of Oklahoma. My major is Health & Exercise Science along with pre-nursing. I am also in the National Guard so I have been looking into the PA program offered through the military. I spent nine months on deployment in Kuwait and it was definitely an experience. That slightly set me back in school so I am slowly started to catch up. The image above is a photo I took of a bazaar in Kuwait.   I started out as an education major since growing up that has always been a passion of mine but then I veered away from that after my first semester of college.   This past summer I took classes nonstop since the end of spring so I was not able to travel. I have a couple of trips planned throughout the rest of the semester and also at the very end. Every winter break I am able to travel back to visit family in Mexico so I will be visiting there also.  I was able to maintain a 3.5 GPA last semester so this semester I am going for a

The Mahabharata: Karmic Revolution Epified TV (India) 2015-2016   King Shantanu lived day and night awaiting the day that he would get to marry Satyavati.
