Food For Thought.

Last week in Writers Craft, we had a day where everyone brought in something to eat, it didn't matter what it was or how much you brought it as long as you brought something to share. I brought pasta salad which is a really white food, and when I looked around at what other people brought I noticed that most people brought food that represented their ethnicity and culture. I have always been really narrow minded about trying new food because I am an extremely picky eater but the food that I saw really showed me that I have to open up to more possibilities and just live my life. I only have 100 years and I think I should live it to the fullest and try new things all the time. Especially when I saw that other people loved that weird food that I saw, it proved to me that I might be missing out and shouldn't be scared of what may come. It's kind of weird how I learned that just in a day of bringing in food and I think I really understood the whole point of the day in my own way. Every person is going to take in an experience a different way and learn different things so I think I learned an extremely valuable lesson!
From now on I'm going to be open to different possibilities in every aspect of life. As well, I think it could benefit me in my reading as well. When I go to chapters I immediately go to my section and sift through books that appeal and stand out to me, but I think next time I'm there, I am going to go to a completely different section, whatever calls to me, and find a book. This is important especially in reading because reading allows a person to learn new things from every page of the book and I feel that if I read books from various topics then I'll be successful and learn so much more information than just from my usual reads.
It's amazing how much I took from a simple day in class and I think thats why I love literature, reading and writing because it's open to interpretation and allows a person to be creative rather than just the norm. I expect the class to have more lesson plans that I can write about. So thank you to Mr.Carnovale for teaching me something new everyday in his awesome lessons and amazing thoughts!
