Friday 11/8/24 - A Place I've Never Wanted to Leave

 A place I've never wanted to leave was Orlando, Florida. I went there for a trip after my sophomore year of high school, and it was an amazing experience. I went with my family and some of my extended family, and we stayed in a hotel for about two weeks, a time that felt too short. We visited Universal Studios, which had tons of exhilarating rides and many attractions to visit. We visited SeaWorld as well, but not DisneyWorld because two theme parks seemed unnecessary. Near the end of the two weeks, we had to start packing and getting ready to leave. This is when reality began to settle back in, and I realized that I'm on a trip, and that this is temporary, but I didn't want to leave. That trip is something that has stuck with me as a place I have never wanted to leave.

Second NewsELA Assignment - Monday - 9/23/2024

 Today, we read an article about the dangers of using Google for self-diagnosis, as well as the best ways in which to get medical information being a doctor. Additionally, we completed a short quiz, and wrote a constructed response about the article. I learned that oftentimes health websites are not trying to provide the most accurate information to the reader, but rather boost sales through advertisement of certain products or treatments. I liked reading this article because I, myself in the past have found myself doing similar things, such as Googling my symptoms for a possible diagnosis, even though I know better now, it gives me something to look back on. Today, I'm looking forward to visiting my cousins.

Today, we took our final test on "Fences" by August Wilson. It was a lot of questions (45) but the questions weren't that hard, and I got a 91. I learned that I got 4 questions wrong out of 45. I liked that how each character in the story represented certain ideals or morals, such as Bono with loyalty and Troy with hard work. I feel like today is Friday, because the different block schedule messed up my perception of the week.

 Today, we were introduced into a new project, where we were randomly assigned new group members. We were introduced to a story called "A Devoted Son" by Anita Desai, and we read a short background about her life. My group chose the theme of isolation vs. community. I learned that Desai's life and family was caught in the crosshairs of the timeframe of Indian modernization after it gained independence. I found it interesting how she described hiding her profession from her children. I'm feeling ready to get adjusted into my new group and work on the project.
