When I turned 17, my mom took me to a Salvadorian restaurant that she had been to before. I was allowed to have anything on the menu. I chose a steak layered with so many things like potatoes, eggs, ham, cheese plated with a side salad and special potato salad from El Salvador. I did not know I could eat that much food until I finished the plate. It's something I always think back to whenever I don't know what to eat. Today, we began making videos designed to explain a chapter we were assigned through Adobe Express. I got Chapter 7, which was a dense chapter that made it easy to explain through just images and text. I somewhat liked this assignment, as it allows us to be creative and explain how we interpreted the letter but it's also tedious and Adobe Express gets annoying to use sometimes. Today, I have nothing as the basketball game was rescheduled for after Winter Break. I get to go home and sleep.
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.
