"You have to fall in love with the process to become great"-Unknown
We will now start to take a turn in things and focus on a very important topic in today's world, Positive psychology. In the three good things project, I will be recording three things I am grateful for each day. I personally think it has helped me and so has these readings about the positive psychology: What is Positive Pyschology & Why Is it Important? (Positive Psychology Program), Greater Good in Action: Science-Based Practices for a Meaningful Life (UC Berkeley's Project Home Page), and Three Good Things (Greater Good in Action). Here are the three things I was grateful for the past seven days. Enjoy!
Journal I 10/30 1.ALP Class I am grateful for my ALP class for the reason being of my teacher professor Mangini because he taught us about how positive psychology can help us in ways to make our life happier. It makes me feel grateful to know that there are people out there wanting to make lives better on a day to day basis. 2. Dinner I was grateful for my mom asking us what we want for to do for dinner that night, it shows she has our interests in mind. She is cooking dinner for me and my two brothers after a rough day at work. It makes me feel loved for that fact of what my mom will do for us. 3.Brothers I am so grateful for being so close to my brothers, we always talk about whats going on in the sports world. We debate and have great conversations it makes me feel less lonely and its great we can connect through something we all have a passion for. Journal II 10/31 1.

Nick Me and nick spent the whole day together, we woke up at 9 and played some 2K because there was a daily event we both agreed to play. Then we went to the sixers game at 1, but we got chickfila before and it was really good. Then we went home and around 7 we ate wings and watched south park. I haven't spent the whole day with him in a while and I had the greatest time. We laughed all day and it made me so grateful to have a brother like him. 2. Joel Embiid So we went to the sixers game but the only reason it was so good, was because of Joel Embiid. He dropped 39 points and 32 of them in the first half. He had beef with the other center so that made it very fun. But I am grateful for him to make my day much more eventful. 3. Fire So that night my friends and I had a fire. We drank some beer and smoked a little around the fire. We joked around had a lot of good laughs, and reminesed the times we had down at senior week. That pretty much capped off the great weekend I had. It made feel hope for my days to be better, as in to get more interesting. Journal VI 11/4 1.David David and I spent the whole morning playing some 2K, we were winning so much so that made it fun. But no matter what I appreciate the fact that we are playing together, I don't really care what happens in the game. It makes me feel more happy to spend time with him. 2.Mom My mom went food shopping and we ended up all getting 5 guys. Now we have more food to eat but My brothers, Mom, and I all sat down and had a great meal together. I missed that it makes me feel like a family again even though of all the stuff that has happened. 3.Dad My Dad and I talked on the phone for a good amount. We talked about getting sushi, the sixers, eagles, and what he was doing. I appreciated him going out of his way to talk to me while he was out and about food shopping for home. Journal VII 11/5 1.Mom Mom made chicken cutlets today and those are my favorite, but I appreciate her doing this because she didnt get done work till 6 and still made dinner. My mom is a warrior for waking up at 5 am and not getting done work till 6 and still have time to do these things for us.I am so grateful for that women. 2. DCCC So after class I had to wait for david to get done his classes. So I went up to the stem center and jumped on the computer to bang these journals out on the computer. I also finished up my work for another class. It makes me feel lucky to even be able to attend a college and get access to all these wonderful things. 3.David I am grateful for David driving me to school today. This helps me save money for gas but also spending time with him and getting to talk about all these amazing topics with him. It really makes me feel more confident within myself expressing my opinions.

This is my first blog ever and I want to introduce myself, Im Andrew Moskowitz. We are here to answer some questions of the famous survey itself, “The Proust Questionnaire.”They ask for you're opinions on a few things like you're greatest fear and you're state of mind and so on, So let's jump into it.
1.__What is your idea of perfect happiness? My idea of perfect happiness is having all the people that I love hanging out at the beach all day having a good time with no worries in the world. __2.__What is your greatest fear? The greatest fear I have is losing someone really close to me because I can't handle the fact that I can't see them or even speak to them anymore. The thought of that's is more scary than death itself in my opinion. __3.__What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? The trait that I most deplore in myself is my confidence in myself I wish i could have a steady flow in confidence because I'm either extremely confident or I think nothing of myself which I would love to fix. __4.__What is the trait you most deplore in others? A trait I deplore in others is their loyalty, I don't understand how fast people switch up for the next or even just in a relationship. You have to take everyone's feelings and thoughts into account instead of being selfish and wanting to jump from thing to think without thinking about the possible damage you caused. __5.__Which living person do you most admire? The person I admire the most is my beautiful girlfriend Alyssa. She is so sweet and wonderful, but she is really smart and caring. When I see her or am even with her she takes away all my worries and I can just be Andrew. I truly admire her because she is always there for me no matter what , she has taught me so much and we have grown together and are becoming great people. But she is capable of so much and she will accomplish so much in her life I strongly believe that. __6.__What is your greatest extravagance? My greatest extravagance is spending money on shoes, I love the sneaker industry from Adidas to Nike. I just find them so interesting and the stories and meanings behind them. I once spent $300 on a pair of jordan 11 space jams. But I would always go to the sneaker conventions I just had a lot of fun with them but the hyped has died down a little for me. __7.__What is your current state of mind? My current state of mind is very confused because I have a lot going on at home, my girlfriend has moved off to college, and im starting a whole new chapter of my life in a very difficult time of my life. Everything has just been so much it's just hard to focus on anything at this point. __8.__What do you consider the most overrated virtue? I find money an overrated virtue only because on the road to gaining millions of dollars you lose your actual friends or it changes you, also it can affect your family and relationships.Don't get me wrong money is great but to much is not good in my opinion. __9.__On what occasion do you lie? I only lie when I feel bad about what I did or if it's going to hurt the person so bad to the point they become someone else. __10.__What do you most dislike about your appearance? There is nothing I dislike about my appearance I love myself for who I am. __11.__Which living person do you most despise? None because I don't hold grudges I just take those people out of my life __13.__What is the quality you most like in a woman? A quality I most like in a women is caring because I appreciate a person who always considers everyone else. __14.__Which words or phrases do you most overuse? My most overused phrase is saying “tough” when I find something to be good. __15.__What or who is the greatest love of your life? If i'm being honest I would have to say My girlfriend Alyssa because she is the girl version of myself, Also she is perfect for me because she understands me and will be there for me through thick or thin. __16.__When and where were you happiest? I am most happy down at my house in north wildwood with my family and close friends. __17.__Which talent would you most like to have? I wish I could have lebron james talent because I personally believe he is one of the most gifted and best basketball players of all time. __18.__If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? If I could change one thing about myself it would be to worry a lot more less than I currently do. __19.__What do you consider your greatest achievement? As of right now my greatest achievement being able to continue playing sports after blowing out my knee and having surgery then going through a 8 month recovery program only because it was at a really tough time in my life and I'm proud that I overcame that part of my life. __20.__If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be? If I could die and come back to life I would be a dog because they do nothing all day and receive so much love and attention. __21.__Where would you most like to live? I would most like to live in Venice beach in Cali or in the city of Philadelphia but I really am not a fan of cold weather so that's why that's my first choice. __22.__What is your most treasured possession? My most treasured possession is my car because its my first car and it holds so many memories and will keep making more. __24.__What is your favorite occupation?
