My Future Me

Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Relevant
Time Sensitive
 Smart Goals:
1.      Become Fit – having a healthier body and eating the right things will help me focus better by June I will have progress in my body.
2.      Get a job – I will get a job over the summer and I will have to support myself after high school and make money for my college tuition.
3.      Make my own money – This will help me understand the value of money and teach me how to use it wisely. I also want to stop asking my parents for money.
4.      Get through Junior year – Hopefully continue getting good grades because it is important in my college application.
5.      Do all assigned work and keep up my grades
6.      Prepare for SAT – The test will probably have something that I haven’t learned and I have to study for it because my scores are also important for my application.
7.      Take SAT at the end of junior year or the beginning of senior year
8.      Start looking into colleges and set out my final plans for my life after high school during last quarter and over the summer
9.  Don't hold back through out the whole year. Take any good opportunity I am given.
10.  Beginning of senior year – Join more extra curricular activities.

Time Machine

         Where will I be 10 years from now? At the age of 26 I will have a husband and I family. I think I will be at the appropriate age to be married and have at least one child. My husband is supportive, trustworthy, encouraging, faithful, smart, funny, and honest. He is a fun person to be around. I expect him to be open and honest with me. He has to be comfortable with telling me anything and everything. The reason why I have a spouse is because I love having good company and having someone to support me through hard times. This is what he does, loves and supports me. For my child, he or she will be a new born because I will get married after college and I will not have kids until after I am married. This child will learn to swim when he or she is a baby. He or she will attend a school near by my work of his or her father’s work if there is an emergency. I will also have a group of friends, but not many. I will only have a few close friends that I trust and invite over for small gatherings. These friends will most likely be from work. My friends will not completely have the same interests as I do because I want them to help me be open to new things. My friends will add a little spice to my life.
            Ten years from now I will have a job after college on my business major. At this point I will be a boss or someone who plays an important role in the office. I have this job because I like how things function and the elements and organizations that come with it. Having a business major will help me apply to a great job because there are many businesses out there and work means money to support my family. My job will require traits like having a quick mind filled with many ideas, determined, persistent, organized, and always on task. I will be living in Hawaii or Boise. My job will require me to live near by, but is okay just as long as I go to work on time. This job required me to have experiences that involved volunteering and helping people. I have to have many experiences in order to apply to this job. By this time I already received my associate degree and my bachelor’s degree. I am not currently a student.
          Outside of work, I have a good reputation. A great job that I am good at and a family that is well supported will be what I have. I go out once in a while with friends but most of the time, my free time will go to my family or vacations back home. Besides going out with friends or spending time with family, I exercise, read, or work on my garden that I will have at the back of my house. I will most likely be cleaning if I am not doing any of these. 10 years from now I would have my life set. I will have a husband, child, and good friends. I will have more babies after because I want a big family, but this is only if I can fundamentally support my children.

Blog Entry #4

Hello guys happy new years! It is finally 2016! It is time for blogging once again :) Today's blog will be about perpendicular lines, slopes, how to determine the slope of a line and how to prove that lines are parallel. I will also be answering questions given to me by my teacher. Enjoy!

41. Critical Thinking 
Reflexive: L || L
False, reflexive property only involves one line. A line cannot be parallel to the line itself.

Symmetric: If L || M, then M || L
True, L || m so they do not intersect with one another.

Transitive:If L || M and M || N, then L || N.
True, they are all parallel to each other.

27. Critical Thinking 




















28.
If both of the lines are perpendicular to the same exact line then it makes the two lines parallel. One line is on the side of the ladder while the lines that are perpendicular are the two rungs.

23. Critical Thinking 
The slope of a line perpendicular to AB with slope m's product will be -1/m. If the slope of AB reaches 0, then the slope of the line perpendicular to AB must reach - infinity. If the slope of AB reaches 1, the slope perpendicular to it becomes -1. The slope should be - infinity > -1/m > 0.


24. Write About It
The speed of the 2 cars are the slopes the cars make when they are moving. Due to the cars moving at the same speed, they also create the same slope which makes them parallel to each other.

2 ways to determine the slope of a line
   1. Use slope formula "Y2 - Y1/ X2 - X1"
   2. You can also use this formula " Y = MX +B"

Pairs of parallel and perpendicular lines

Their slopes both involve 2 lines and for each graph, both the lines fall on one plane.

In conclusion, reflexive, symmetric, and transitive properties for slopes have different reasons for being true or false and parallel and perpendicular lines have similarities too! Thank you for taking time to view my blog :) Happy new years once again! 

Blog Entry #03

Hi guys! It's me, Shana :)
My blog today will be about segment congruence, properties of equality, deductive proof, conjecture, and inductive reasoning. I will be answering the following questions given to me by my geometry teacher. Enjoy! :D

#36 CRITICAL THINKING Use the definition of segment congruence and the properties of equality to show that all three properties of congruence are true segments.

When you are given two segments that are congruent with each other it means they have same lengths. If a property of equality involves congruent segments, they're involved in property of congruency as well. Both property of equality and property of congruency are corresponding when two segments are congruent.

Reflexive property of equality and reflexive property of congruency.
A̅B̅= A̅B̅ is the same as A̅B̅A̅B̅
Transitive property of equality and transitive property of congruency. 
 A̅B̅=C̅D̅, C̅D̅=E̅F̅, A̅B̅=E̅F̅ is the same as A̅B̅C̅D̅ ,C̅D̅E̅F̅,A̅B̅E̅F̅
Symmetric property of equality and symmetric property of congruency.
A̅B̅=B̅A̅ is the same as A̅B̅ B̅A̅

#38 WRITE ABOUT IT Compare the conclusion of a deductive proof and a conjecture based on inductive reasoning.
Inductive reasoning involves pattern, they use their observations to see a pattern while deductive reasoning uses logic to draw conclusions from given facts, definitions, and properties.

In conclusion properties of equality and properties of congruency are alike in many ways. Also, don't forget that inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning are two different things!

Okay bye! Hope you enjoyed my blog :)

Critical Thinking

Biconditional:

- A statement is a biconditional statement if and only if it is a statement that can be written in the form "p if and only if q."

Conditional: 

- If a statement is a biconditional statement, then it is a statement that can be written in the form "p if and only if q." (True)

Converse: 

- If a statement can be written in the form "p if an only if q", then it is a biconditional statement. (True)

The biconditional is true because both the conditional statement and converse are true.

Write About It

#36

Definition: 

- A ray that divides an angle into two congruent parts.

Conditional:

- If a ray divides an angle into two congruent parts, then it is an angle bisector.

Converse: 

- If a ray is an angle bisector, then it divides an angle into two congruent angles.

The saying "A good definition is reversible" means that the meaning is good if both the conditional and statement are true. Like for example, the angle bisector. Both its conditional and converse are true, so that means the word was defined well.

Short Response

#41

Bicondtional: 

-You will get a traffic ticket if and only if you are speeding.

Conditional Statements:

- If you get a traffic ticket, then you are speeding.

- If you are speeding, then you will get a traffic ticket.

Biconditional is false because the conditional of the biconditional is false. In order for the biconditional to be true, both the converse and conditional have to be true. 

Redesigning Cereal Box

          Hi guys, my name is Shana Mafnas. I am currently attending Mount Carmel School on the island of Saipan. I love food, sleep, and singing even if I'm not very good at it. This blog is mostly about how I redesigned my box.

          The packages and the products inside seem odd. If you open the box and look at the amount of cereal the package holds, the cereal fits about 1/2 or more of the box (depending on which cereal you buy). It is a waste of space. If the company has to spend more money on the box, they should minimize the size of the box, right? If they choose to minimize it then they spend less money.

          Do I consider these packages environmentally friendly? Yes, I guess. Unless the box bursts into flames and the air gets polluted. If that has ever happened then they should change the box that the cereal comes in. In other matters, the box doesn't cause any harm.

          In order to reduce the excess packaging I think they should minimize the size of the plastic inside the box. In the plastic, the cereal will most likely fill up half. They should minimize it and in order to keep it fresh, they should vacuum seal the plastic so that the cereal doesn't get spoiled. After, they minimize the box as well to go with the mass of the package inside. That way, it would be more handy and it doesn't take up as much space as it used to.

         The shelf storage and visual appeal are affected by the design of the box. How is the question. Well, if the box is big it will give the customers the thought of the amount of the cereal inside to be big as well as the box. That is how they get the customers to buy their product. It also takes up a lot of space on the shelves. Some stores will order more shelves but maybe the rate of shelves bought by stores will lower if the box is designed as smaller box. It will take up less storage on the shelves.

Volume means the amount of space an object takes up. So, the surface area of the box really depends on the volume of the cereal. If the amount of cereal is 10x more than the original amount of cereal, the box will be 10x bigger as well. So the surface area is affected by the volume of the cereal that is inside it.

          Redesigning a cereal box took many tries for me. When I did finish the project, I had to redo it in school because I did it wrong. It actually ended up being a fun project. It taught me that some things should consume as much space as they already do.  

Here are my computations and picture of the box after the project.
