At the end of my junior year, I realized the expectations of becoming an adult and choosing of path for myself were upon me. I had put all those thoughts to the back of my mind the whole year, thinking "That's a problem for future me." As summer began, I realized I did not know what I wanted to be or do with my life after high school. I spent the whole summer deciding I would continue my education and get a degree in order to live a life I wanted to live. Today, we finished the India Culture assignment, reading an article that went more in depth about the different customs and traditions that make up India. I enjoyed this assignment, as it made me more knowledgeable about a culture many don't bother to learn about. Today, I feel good. I have an audition for a percussion group, so I hope I do well and maybe get in.
An object that holds a lot of value to me is my Legos. They were gifted or bought during significant points in my life, building them after each event. They remind me of the good times/memories every time I look at them, thinking of each block as building the memory, or the Lego set in this case. Today, we continued our reading of The Color Purple by Alice Walker. We read 3 chapters today, learning about Sofia's return to the story and her eventual incarceration due to her beliefs and nature. It was interesting to see the reminder of the consequences the characters can face, bringing down such a strong-willed character like Sofia. It also showed us why Celie and Squeak's, Harpo's girlfriend, obedience is beneficial to them in some way. Today, I feel tired. I pulled an all-nighter and still have to go to a practice and then teach 8th graders and drop people off afterwards. I know the sleep is going to be good later tonight.
