Place i’ve never wanted to leave

 A place I never wanted to leave was a house of a very close friend. This friend is more like family to me and i’ve always felt comfortable at their house. Her family never made me feel like i was anything less of their family. This day that I spent at her house was especially important because i haven’t seen her in over 2 years because I moved away. However eventually I did end up having to leave.

Today in class we received and worked on a One Pager on the story “Ambush”. The story “Ambush” was a very interesting story that made me think deeper on how war impacts soldiers. It gave me a deeper meaning of grief and regret.

What’s your favorite part of big events like this, and why?

 My favorite part of big events like this is that it brings people together. I think more times then not people tend to focus on themselves and their problems, forgetting about other people and sometimes disregarding them. With big events like this it brings people together to celebrate or enjoy a common thing. Obviously there is competition but I think that anyone who goes to these events can agree on two things: 1. They want to have fun and 2. They want their team to win. Overall I like how passionate and friendly big events like this can be.  Today we took a quiz and did any missing work that could bring our grade up. Today was good.

Imagine it's the year 2050. What does the world look like? How have technology, society, and the environment changed?

 In the year 2050 the world looks very industrialized. There are a lot of cities and people. We have more electric cars on the streets in hopes of helping with global warming. There is more electronics than ever before, we use them for nearly everything. The natural land has been pushed to very few parts of land. People are more united and get along more well.  Today we read three chapters of A Lesson Before dying and answered discussion questions then we worked on our project if needed. Today was a really good day.

What do you think are your biggest strengths as a speaker? What challenges do you face when presenting in front of an audience?

 I think my biggest strengths as a speaker is that I'm not shy and am able to keep eye contact. I don't struggle to present and usually I am well organized. I also understand how to explain certain topics so people can better understand. I think I often get confused to find the right words to express exactly what I mean. I can stumble on my words or stutter because my mind often moves faster than my mouth does. This makes me resort to saying things such as "like" or "um" or "uh" to help me better organize my thoughts and express what I would like to say. Today we presented our projects. Today was an alright day my mind has been everywhere. I feel tired and honestly just want to relax.
