Tuesday 3/4/25 - Talk about a time when you felt like you were about to lose your mind. Answer in at least a paragraph.

A time I felt like I was about to lose my mind was when I was working on an essay for my final exam in a literature class in my sophomore year. The essay was about a book relating to Asian culture and the essay had to do with a character analysis. I had worked on it for weeks. The first couple of days I was brainstorming and drafting my essay. Afterwards, I had rereviewed my essay and wrote a more finalized draft to correct mistakes from the first draft. For my final stage, I had others peer review my essay and checked it myself for grammatical errors and other minor issues. Although, the day I was ready to submit my essay the whole thing was gone. I had worked on it through a Google doc, and when I was ready to turn it in I saw a blank document. I had begun to get extremely worried and angry. I didn't understand how it happened or why it happened. I tried to fix it by clicking undo, but to no avail. I had scrolled through all of my docs to see if I had clicked on the wrong one. I genuinely felt like I was going to lose it, even if I had an extension, it would feel like starting over and that I had worked all that time for nothing. I started to wonder why this had to happen to me, and thought about what I could have different to avoid this. Although, I was finally able to return to peace once I realized the essay was on another Google account with almost the same name. 

Absent this day.

Vocab Quiz & Finishing Story Map Presentations - Friday 9-6-2024

 Today, we took a 25 question vocab quiz on illuminate that was pretty easy. Afterwards, a few people finished up with the story map presentations. I took away from this that we have a diverse class that is representative of the diversity of Lakeside and how different life experiences and cultural backgrounds shape our identity. I liked that I got to see a bit of other people's upbringing and life experiences and his compares or differs from mine. I'm feeling glad that the we are now entering the weekend, and that grades have been posted.

Monday 2/10/25 - What life skills have you learned in high school that will help you live independently after high school? Which skills do you think are essential for your success after high school?

Some life skills I have learned in high school that will help me live independently after high school are time management, managing money, self care, and communication skills. After high school these skills will help me by keeping a healthy and balanced life. I think that all of these skills will be essentially after high school. Time management is important for all aspects of life and throughout our days, from the moment we get out of bed until we go back to sleep. Managing money is a new skill I picked up on during high school that I will need throughout my life, since it becomes more and more important to be responsible with money, as time goes on, eventually end up having to pay off expenses and allocate funds. Self care is another important life skill I've picked up on more during high school, as part of my success is my health and happiness (health is wealth). Last but not least, communication skills, are vital to getting the help I need and for helping others.  Summary: Toda...

Tuesday 1/28/2025 - Describe your personal approach to creativity. What steps do you follow when you’re working on a project. Tell me about a project you created that you were most proud of.

 Prompt Response: When I work on a project, the first thing I do is try to understand the goal / end result of the project, and then review the rubric to see what is required and will give you a good grade. Secondly, I start to brainstorm different ideas. Afterwards, I figure out how to assemble the project, including what steps I will take as well as what materials to get. Lastly, I will put in the physical work and put everything together. Also, to be sure I will double check everything before submission. A project I created that I am most proud of is a 3d model brain project I created for AP Psychology. I followed the steps I listed above, and was able to create a realistic looking brain model with labels and description, and I got an A on the project. Summary: Today, we worked on a bubble graph, where we chose a character from "The Color Purple" and identified different things they sacrificed, surrendered, or forfeited on, and then write details to show details of what th...
