Write about the truth you were afraid to accept

 A truth I was afraid to accept was that one day, I would be old enough to not understand the newer generations. This really made me realize how much humanity advances, to the point older generation get left behind and can't do anything about it. New trends, technology, fashion, etc. will one day be a foreign and confusing concept to me. It makes me sympathize for older folk who struggle and don't get help or a chance to understand. Today, we continued working on group project on "A Devoted Son" by Anita Desai. I completed my slides on Character Analysis and my part of the reflecting on the theme in my personal life. I'm enjoying getting in depth into the story and thinking how our theme, Definition of Success, ties back to the overall message of the story. I also enjoy not having to do the whole project by myself. Today, I am really tired. I had 7am class again and did not get a nap in like I usually do, meaning I am running on 3 hour of sleep. I want to go home.

Summarize your holiday break. In addition, write about 5 personal goals that you want to achieve in 2025. Explain why you chose those goals.

All holiday break, I spent my time filling out and finalizing college applications. I enjoyed about 4 days of my break, sleeping and playing video games to distract myself from realizing I had school on Monday. I wrote many paragraphs and rewrote my essays many times, but I am happy with the final result. 5 personal goals I have for 2025 are passing all my classes with a B or above, getting a job during the summer so I have something to do during college, successfully transitioning from High School to College, keeping in touch with my friends as we move onto different paths in life, and improving myself into my journey of becoming an adult. I chose these goals as they are beneficial for my life journey, being things that can benefit me or push me to be better every day. Today, I feel okay. I'm still finishing applications and have more stuff I had to deal with, so I hope it gets resolved soon so I can finally have peace. I also have a practice on the first day of this semester, get...

Imagine writing a letter to yourself 10 years from now. What advice, hopes, or reminders would you include?

 If I wrote a letter to myself 10 years from now, I would remind myself to stay who am I. To keep true to my values, beliefs, and the foundation I've been built upon, as staying true to who you are is the most important thing in life. I would also remind myself to not care what others think, because I'm living my life at the end of the day. I am my own person and what I do is up to me. I hope that I achieved my goals of graduating, maybe not with the degree I intended, but at least something that will lead to me being successful and stable. I also hope that I was able to become the man I want to be, or at least close to it, since we are not perfect. Today, Mr. Rease was out so he left us questions about chapter 66-70 of The Color Purple. I had read past it and remembered most of the story, so I finished all the questions in about 15 minutes. I'm starting to like these questions, because they test your knowledge as well as your understanding about the letters and the story. ...

Write about a moment you had to step outside your comfort zone.

 Ever since I joined the marching band, I've been constantly put in the spotlight during football games and school events, especially since I play the snare drum. As I've gotten older, I've soon become center snare, meaning I was responsible for marching the band onto the field, counting them in for songs, and overall being responsible for the tempo. The first time I tried this my sophomore year, I was too nervous knowing everyone would hear me and see me first as I was the only one playing. However, this taught me the values of consistency and perseverance, as the more I did it, the better and more comfortable I got, becoming my favorite thing to do now. Today, we continued our reading of The Color Purple by Alice Walker. After we finished, we wrote a Found Poem using any lines from any chapter we had read in order to portray something. I wrote my poem about a cheating husband with his wife being the bystander and having to deal with his blatant infidelity. Today, I feel o...
