Cultural Poem

 Today in class we began our cultural poems. I wrote mine about being a woman and I enjoyed this personal reflection. I am struggling to write it, but I am enjoying this personal reflection. Today was a good day, but I over slept and was tired.

Offensive terms

 Today in class we discussed a poem about offensive terms, reflected on what terms are offensive to us, and finished a poem based on this. I was able to truly reflect on what hurts me and the power that my words have. I appreciated the depth of today’s lesson and the thought that went into covering such a difficult conversation. I have had a good day and I am very excited for my shows this weekend!

Write about a feeling that took you by surprise.

 One feeling that took me surprise was at the end of my first ever show. I was in Winnie The Pooh in 6th grade and I had my closing night. Going into it I thought I would be excited like I am at the end of most shows, but instead I cried. I didn’t expect to do this, but I ugly cried. Not like a nice simple tear, but an ugly balling cry. Still to this day, whenever I finish a show I do this, so if anyone wants to see me cry, come to closing night of Matilda. Today in class we learned about how in Indian culture people defecate on the ground and how it is a large health concern. I was not aware that this was an issue, so now I feel more educated, and more grateful for the clean water we have.

Write about a time you didn’t feel like yourself.

 One time that I did not feel like myself was last year. I was trying new medications, and I was on one that was really bad for me. I lost who I was and the side effects were scary. Thankfully, I am on better medications now and I have found myself again, and I hopefully will never get to the place I was in last year again.  Today in class we read more of the Color Purple independently, and we answered questions about them. I enjoyed that we were able to read on our own, because I was able to move at my own pace. I am excited to see what happens next in the book.
