Wednesday - 1/15/2025 - Reflect on a time when you had to rely on someone else. How did it feel?

A time I had to rely on someone else was when I had fractured my leg playing basketball. This was the first time I had had an injury of this level, and I didn't know how to react. All I know is that I was in pain and needed help. My friends around me were trying to do what they could. They kept me still and called my mom to let her know what happened, and she was immediately alerted and drove my way. While I was being treated at the hospital, I begun to reflect. I reflected on this memory as a time I had to rely on my mom to take me to the hospital, get me medical treatment, and to pay for that treatment, none of which would have been possible without her. It felt worrying but also comforting to know I will always have someone to rely on.

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.
