OPENING SCENE TRACK AND FIELD AREA IN SCHOOL- DAY Zoom in on Metta's green eyes, her pups dilate and de-dilate quickly while she fixates on the blue, cloudy sky above. The screen shifts to the first-hand perspective of Metta. A translucent blue filter covers her view of the sky, representing how the calming environment consumes her current emotions. The screen displays Metta laying with her back on the track as she sticks her hands in the air, focusing and unfocusing her vision on her hands reaching for the sky.

Secret to Happiness
Abstract: This study analyzes the happiness people received from either experiential or material purchases. More specifically, the study delved into explaining what factors influence higher happiness levels for experimental or material purchases. In the studies conducted, a Google form was sent to 4 advisories where the participants rated their happiness out of 5 for recent materialistic and experiential they had purchased. The respondents had to inform of their gender in order to compare results based on demographics. The second survey asked the respondents to explain why they received more happiness from either purchase. According to our results, people received more happiness from experiential purchases over material purchases, which was supported by many statements from the respondents claiming it increased social development, self-actualization, and positive reflection on their experiences. In the study, females rated their experiential purchases higher than males, yet 9th graders, on average, valued their recent material purchases more than 12th graders. The sample of subjects was small-scale and consisted of only SAS students, so it can not be generalized to larger populations. Nonetheless, the results deduced that experiential purchases offer more positive reinterpretation and development of social development, generating more happiness compared to materialistic goods.
