Friday 1/24/25 - Write about something that you heard that you wish you could unhear.

Something I heard that I wish I could unhear was the final score in the 2017 NFL Super Bowl. The words, "The New England Patriots are your 2017 Super Bowl Champions" still haunt me. This day was one of the biggest letdowns for anyone in Atlanta, and for me as well. Part of the reason why it is such a painful memory is the fact that the Falcons had held a giant lead of 28-3 midway through the third quarter. Everyone watching was sure that the Falcons had secured the win, but somehow it didn't happen. I, myself and others were already thinking about going to the celebration parade. In short I wish I could unhear and unsee this, as a matter of fact, I wish it was removed from my memory altogether.

Summary: Today we did a semester check of everything we haven't and have turned in.

Reflection: I learned that a group of crows is called a murder.

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.
