A Tanksgiving-Tastic Week

This week has come after a long wait. I can’t wait to share all my memories of this fantastic Tanksgiving with you all! I am very thankful to God and Lord Jesus for everything they have done to lead me to the person I am today!

My Dream:
1. Create successful cartoon characters and movies that will inspire the lives of others.
2. Move to Los Angeles to be closer to the entertainment industry.
3. Marry someone who has a very similar personality as me; a love for film, music, and animation!
4. Open up and run a successful animation studio and eventually reach out to travelers with a resort.

I was desperately waiting for this week to come! I am getting bored and stressed out with school! English and History are my least favorite subjects and are both extremely challenging for me, although I love to write scripts and really enjoy creative writing. In those subjects, A’s and B’s on exams, especially closed-notes exams, are pretty rare. My average test grades in those classes are below the passing grade line, let’s say around a D (65%). Those tests cover almost every single detail, whether it is an important detail or not, and require a lot of memory of those details. Why details? Most of them are not very relevant/important and are very hard to process. Although, sometimes with my autism, I do obsess over little details at times.

Speaking of my challenges, I am extremely worried about whether I am ready for college or not and whether I will ever graduate from college; my reading score on the standardized tests were very low, on the borderline; even comprehending from a middle school chapter book with no pictures is still very challenging for me; even more of a challenge, developmentally, I am just becoming a teenager and am very delayed in many aspects of life, socially and academically. I still am having a very hard time becoming as independent as a normal 17-18 year old; I am nowhere near that level, at least 4 years behind. I have been practicing stir-frying and helping my parents in the kitchen. However, stir-frying and cutting veggies are still quite a bit of a hassle for me. I am also having a hard time finding a part-time job, like most creative people, I get bored easily at routine jobs and daydream 24/7.

On the bright side, I have been learning new math concepts for fun and practicing more math problems on Khan Academy. Yes, I admit, I am pretty weird when it comes to my personality. I am currently taking AP Calculus BC and am loving the class and all the new math concepts I am learning. Math and physics tests are the only tests where I usually get A’s and sometimes B’s, although the first math tests this year were the most challenging math tests I have ever taken due to the complexity of the word problems and the vocabulary. I proved the addition formula for cosine today all on my own without any help, nor assistance.

More math for fun

I am on my school’s plack because I worked so hard and got a perfect score on last year’s Pre-Calculus Honors Final in the 2nd Semester. I betcha one of my past therapists would be very surprised to see that I received a perfect score on a final that is very hard to receive a perfect score, and am taking 2 AP classes at the moment as a child with special needs.


As usual with my cartoony obsession, I have also been producing more artwork and working on my short animated films on my free time. I have gotten pretty far in my artistic work in the last few months.

I started a Macy's Thanksgiving Parade Animation. It will be on my YouTube channel sometime this week or next week.

Besides my drawing, I also went to check out stores for Black Friday shopping. My favorite stores I went to were the Apple Store, Target, the Best Buy, and PetSmart. 
I love animals of all kinds, with the exception of reptiles and insects. My favorites being pandas, dogs, and cats. I had a fun time watching the dogs in the Pet Smart doggy day camp playing around the area. Dogs in my opinion are the best pets you can ever have right now because they are very friendly and want to spend a lot of time with you every day. Speaking of animals, I really miss both the San Diego Zoo and the SeaWorld San Diego. Both parks bring back lovable memories for me and my love for animals, especially the Sesame Street Play Structure at the SeaWorld San Diego and the Panda exhibit at the San Diego Zoo. At least from L.A., my future permanent home, it’s only less than 2 hours away by car on the 5. 
Best Buy also has a promotion for the iPhone 8. Although I currently have an iPhone 6, I decided to wait another year since I heard Apple may be coming out with a cheaper all-screen phone. 



Most of all, what made this week the best were the french fries for lunch on Saturday and most of all, the very tasty turkey I ate for dinner on Saturday night. Although it was 2 days late, I still had a blast!
