"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.

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

 In the year 2050, I hope that technology is improving the way the world is running. I feel like there will be new ways that people communicate that we cannot even begin to imagine with our current technology. I feel like AI will help many businesses, and it will be commonly used in everyday life, just like the phone is now. I hope that there will be a better environment than there is now, otherwise we are in trouble. I also hope that there is a positive push towards equality for everyone.  Today in class we read more of the Color Purple and answered questions about it. Also, I apologize for this being late. My brother broke his ankle last night, and I had to take him to urgent care. I am thriving on about 2 hours of sleep.

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.
