The skirt



This skirt was my grandmother’s and inherited from generation to generation. My family and I lived in the countryside, and did farming. My mother was wearing this every time when she worked in the field. But we came to the town and we’re far away from the countryside. We can’t see any field but the skirt reminds us the life in the countryside. I was always thinking that the day I will wear the skirt when mother was working outside. Long time of litigation, the color gets out from the clothes but I can still know what the color was. I’m not going to the farming but I want to find something that I can feel proud like my mother. I feel so gleeful to wear this. I wonder that what was my mother thinking when she gave me this, and what I'm going to feel when I pass this skirt to my child. I think I will feel proud of me, because that means I am being like my mother. But right now I’m just so exciting about wearing this skirt. In this skirt it has so many memories of exciting, fun and even sadness and from now my memories are going to add in this skirt. I am so exciting about my future life.

Brain

I think I was drinking enough water during the daytime. I usually brought my water bottle to my classroom and make sure that I can drink the water when I feel thirsty. Why the water is is important, because the brain needs oxygen, energy and water. This means good balanced food is also important to brain because that constricts the energy gets lower fast. I think I am having balanced foods. But I think I’m not getting enough time to sleep, I usually sleep about seven to eight hours. But at my age we need to sleep about eight and half to nine and quarter. Sleeping is very important to brain because when we sleep the muscles rests, growth hormone is also made and the brain starts to put the memory to short term memory to long term memory. So if we review something many times we can more easily find the information that we need quickly. Also images and pictures are much more helpful than words. But I don’t use so many images in my notes, if I add more images that will help my reminding much better. The third things I thought that is important are exercise and having fun. I thought at my situation most of the things that I have fun will connect to the exercise. I do walking and playing with my dog and badminton for my exercise and it is fun to me. I often walk about more than twenty minutes with my dog and every week on Wednesday and Saturday I do Badminton for one to two hours. Also I practice at home to. Other things for having fun, I like to read books. I read books at the resting time between doing the homework. So I don’t get so much tired of doing my homework, but sometimes I avidity too much to the book so I took time to read the book over the resting time, and the time I go to bed get late. I believe the following are important to improve these situations.

First of all I think I have to improve about my time of studying and sleeping. If I improve the studying tie I think I can sleep more early. I usually watch TV about thirty minutes after I came back from school, but if I use that time as a power nap time, so may be the study grow in efficiency, and I can finish homework early and sleep faster. For the time for the power nap should be twenty to forty minutes, because if we took too much nap, brain start to move the memory, STM to LTM so we feel so sleepy and tired. I can set the timer before I fell asleep. Also, I think that might be helpful is making the timetable. So I won’t read too much books and I can do something that I feel fun to. Also if I make the timetable that makes the balance between gestalt and logic, this helps me to study. Second of all I have to improve is about the balanced food. I’m having balanced food for sure but that is thought by my mother. When I grew up I have to think about the food balance by myself, so doing this now will be a good practice to me. I don’t think I can perfectly think about the food from the first time, but now my mother can help me. The important thing is to have the three major nutrients which are protein, fat and carbohydrate. I can check these before I eat my food. Third of all I want to drink water before I feel thirsty, because feeling thirsty means the body is already been symptom of dehydration so I’m going to drink water before I feel thirsty. I’m going to try to do all of this to make the brain healthier, and this is I also thought these are good for the body to.
