Describe a time when you had to speak in front of an audience. What were your fears? How did you handle them? What advice would you give to someone struggling with stage fright?

 I have the opportunity to speak in front of audiences quite often, and I really enjoy it. I am actually about to perform in front my largest audience to date on Saturday at the Georgia Thespian Convention, when more than 4000 people will see us. My advice for anyone who struggles with stage fright is to breathe and that they got this. I also always tell people to transfer their nervous energy into excited energy.

Today in class we learned about informal versus formal language, and how to apply that to the essay we will write in class. It was nice having a day of reviewing information, especially because I had a very long night last night with my brothers injury.

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.

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.
