I need it to be written about why crocheting as a hobby can help mental health, I wrote in my get to know me that crochet really helped me during covid here is what i said
Good evening all, my name is Breanna Newton and I am so pleased to meet you all! I am excited to be starting this course with you all and gaining more knowledge and skills to increase my writing abilities. Some personally things about me, I am a nineteen year old girl who graduated from Treasure Coast Highschool and came directly to Indian River State College to begin my journey to becoming a travel nurse! I am currently getting my A.A degree and I am hoping to soon after get into a nursing program. Nursing has always played a big part in my life as a bunch of my family members happen to be nurses, especially ones that work in the military and registered nurses! I love reading and writing poetry so I am hoping to gain more skills to increase my poetry. I have a cat named Peanut and four really big pitbulls and their names are Bleu, Ivey, King and Cocoa. I am heavily obsessed with collecting all things Sanrio and I believe I am going to be all decorated with Hello Kitty themed things as a nurse even more than I am now. Last but not least, I love to crochet! I have been corcheting since 2020 when COVID was around and I haven’t stopped since. I started doing it because my therapist recommended it to me when I was really depressed during the lockdown and that is exactly why I haven’t stopped because it keeps me preoccupied and it is fun! Here is a link to the first example I used to start corcheting.

Option Four: Dream Vacation out of the Country
First, decide what type of vacation you want to take:

• Volunteer vacation. What is a volunteer or service vacation? Some examples.
• Cultural vacation. See one site here
• Adventure vacations such as cycling, hiking, etc.
• History vacation
You should answer these questions (and support them with research) in your essay:
Travel: How will you get there? Investigate at least three methods of travel, identifying the cost, duration, and arrangements necessary for each. Then evaluate which is the best for you. You will determine what is “best” by considering what’s important to you. A plane is faster than a train, but you can see more from a train. Then, pinpoint the booking information: flight numbers, departure and arrival times and places, cost of ticket or of gas if driving. Include your itinerary, the various places you will be visiting. Should you buy trip insurance?
Lodging: Where will you stay? Investigate at least three types of lodging (youth hostel, hotel, camping, staying with friends, housing exchange). Then choose a particular place. Identify know the name of the place, what room you would be in, address of the place, etc. If your itinerary includes several stops, identify lodging for just one destination.
Luggage and clothing: What should you take and why? What should you not take? How should you dress?
Meals: How much eating there cost? What are the “specialty” foods of this destination? What should you be sure to eat? Should you be cautious or avoid particular foods or the water? What should you drink? Identify several eating places that interest you.
Political: Do you need a passport? How do you get one? Might the political situation affect you?
Safety: What personal safety concerns do you need to be aware of?
Legal: What laws different from the US do you need to be aware of? What cautions do you need to take in order to abide by the laws?
Medical: Do you need inoculations before you go? What injuries, illnesses, or disease might you encounter? What medical care is available there? What does your medical insurance provide? Do you need to purchase special insurance for your trip?
Cultural: What cultural rules do you need to be aware of? What elements of culture should you go out of your way to connect with? To avoid?
What must you see or do? This section is the heart of your trip; it’s why you’re going. Give details.
Calculate this trip as a genuinely possible experience. It’s easy to say that you’d take the QEII cruising over the ocean and stay in the best hotels, but think about how you could actually take such a trip on a reasonable budget. Would you budget carefully in order to do as much as possible, or would you prefer a shorter stay in luxurious surroundings?
