Julie and Julia

#1 How are the concepts you are currently learning about in class/school reflected in the movie Julie & Julia?

In class we're learning to push ourselves to do our best and not give up. In the movie we also see Julie cooking everyday, trying to do her best, and also never give up. She pushes herself everyday, even when she's sick, to cook and blog. 

#2 Pick one of the following career lesson we can learn from Julia and respond.

-Invest in yourself

Julia didn’t speak French when she arrived in France. In fact, she says her French seemed to get worse the more she tried to use it and she was surprised the French could understand her at all. “…my inability to communicate was hugely frustrating,” she wrote. One night after a party of mostly French speakers, she’d had it. She declared she was going to learn to speak the language no matter what it took and signed up for a language class that met for six hours each week, plus homework.

  
This teaches us to never give up, always push ourselves and do our best. If we always invest in ourselves we can always learn new things and become better. Even when things get hard, we have to keep trying.
