Thursday - 1/9/2025 - Write 5 things I would do and why, if I were President of the United States

If I were the President of the United States, I would fight inflation, reduce the school week to 4 days, raise minimum wage, make healthcare more accessible, and create more jobs. I'd do these things because inflation is one of the biggest problems facing us today, as things are more expensive than ever because of the loss of value of the dollar, but most Americans aren't making more money to compensate for it. I'd reduce the school week to 4 days because it is much more refreshing and helps students and teachers to balance school life and personal life, as well as work life for some students. Raising the minimum wage would improve the quality of life for those struggling, also healthcare can get very expensive nowadays and it's getting more and more difficult for everyday Americans to pay their medical expenses. Lastly, creating more jobs would help with the economy.

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.
