The phrase “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” is based on the writings of English philosopher John Locke who said “no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions

To me the pursuit of happiness means the journey you take to get toward your goals

The school I go to is Calvine High School. Calvine high school is a place where students go if they are credit deficient and need to earn credits so they can graduate on time and get their high school diploma.

Some ways I do to pursue my happiness is try at something and see if I can succeed at it

One of my pursuits is the love of music, I have been playing the guitar for 2 years now. Since I have been playing I have been in two bands and played two different shows.

In the next five years I see myself working at a job that I enjoy working at and feel good about myself at the end of the day.

The ways I'm going to get there is to go to college for that career but right now I'm just figuring out what I want to do, so I'm exploring different careers right now to figure what I want to do.
