"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.

Discuss how mastering precise vocabulary can impact your daily communication and academic success.

 Having a more precise and sophisticated vocabulary can impact communication in many ways. First, it can make you seem smarter, which will benefit you in the work force, interviews, and day-to-day life. In addition, it will allow you to better understand what people are saying, and how to work well with others. Lastly, it will increase your confidence and understanding of the world around you.  Today in class we worked through vocabulary lesson 14. The word that stood out most to me was pandemic, but this was because of my large amounts of exposure to the word. I am working very hard to get my grade back up to an A, even if it is a lost cause at this point.

Write about what you remember or have been told about the day you were born

The day I was born was very different from most people. My mom woke up and went to work, because she was only 7 months pregnant. Then suddenly, her water broke and she had to be rushed to the hospital from Oak Grove Elementary. Me and my brother are twins, and so we were expected to be born early, but not 2 months. She was rushed into an emergency c-section and me and my brother were born. I was 4 pounds one ounce and he was only 4 pounds. I didn't cry when I was born, and both of us had a wide range of medical needs. We were fully reliant on medial technology to be able to breath, get nutrients, and our hearts would continuously stop beating. This led to a day full of fear and I think it relates more to infant sorrow. We lived in the NICU at choa for a month before going home. It was a very scary day for sure.  Today in class we read and analyzed 2 pairs of opposing poems and wrote a one-pager on them. I chose the contrasting poems infant joy and infant sorrow. Today has been a gr...

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.
