"Two Kinds" Question

     The most recent time I was in conflict with my mom was on Sunday. Last Sunday was when I was first hit with the stomach bug that kept me out of school the last two days. My mom thought that it was just based on anxiety, because I have fallen ill in the past when my anxiety was high. This time was different though. I didn't feel like me at all, I had lost any form of energy, and I had no appetite. I tried multiple times to explain that my sickness was due to truly feeling sick, and that I needed to get rest. 

    She did learn that I was truly sick after about 24 hours of sickness, and when my brother came home and said that a large percentage of the school was out with the same illness. With this conflict, I learned that I need to stand up for myself when I know that misinformation is being shared, even if that means telling my mom that she is wrong. Yesterday as she was picking me up from school she apologized because she knew that she had tried to diminish my sickness, and I really appreciated that. Our relationship is stronger now due to this because we both trust each other more, and both know that we will apologize when we are incorrect.

What do you believe is the most beautiful creation in the world—natural or man-made—and why?

 I believe the most beautiful creation in the world is waterfalls. There's something so magical about the cascading water and the way it falls on the rocks below. They truly show me the scale of the Earth, and how small I am in comparison to everything. I can't see them and not thank God for everything he does. Today in class we read the poem Tyger and answered questions about it. I really enjoyed this poem, especially in regards to Earth Day. I am going to the aquarium with my friends for a yoga class today and I am very excited.

What life skills have you learned in high school that will help you live independently after high school? Which skills do you think are essential for your success after high school?

 One skill that I have learned in high skill that will help me live independently after high school is how to be assertive. I used to be very scared to speak my mind and enact change, but with the help of theater, I have learned how to speak my mind and be true to myself. I actually was presented an award from Georgia Thespians this weekend, for being the top theater maker of the year, and I am so honored. I think this will help me when I grow up because I will be able to make change happen, and I can speak my truth.  Today in class we had a newsELA where we learned about the Bill of Rights. It was super interesting, and I am excited to learn more.

What holiday do you look forward to the most each year, and why is it your favorite?

 My favorite holiday is Christmas. I look forward to many aspects of it, and the time around of it. I love the candlelight Christmas Eve service at my church, especially because I have been able to be a part of the service for the past 7 years. In our family, we have Christmas day with about 25 family members, which is a lot of people, but it is fun for a little while. I love the combination of religion and family this holiday encompasses.  Today we took a common assessment for multicultural Lit. I felt very confident on it and I am hopeful it helps me get above an 85.
