Wednesday 2/26/25 - How important is it for you to retain your cultural foods as you move forward in life? Explain the importance and which foods you cannot live without.

It is very important for me to retain my cultural foods as I move forward in life. This is because it is an essential aspect of who I am because my culture is a part of me and my heritage. I grew up eating these foods and will forever be familiar with the aroma and feeling of preparing and eating them. I plan to carry on my culture and its foods into adulthood and pass it on eventually when I have kids. Some foods from my culture I don't think I can live without include injera which is a stretchy bread with holes that you eat with various stews and vegetables. Another crucial dish is called kitfo which is essentially ground beef seasoned with spices and vegetables and often eaten with injera. Even if these foods were not to my liking, I would still be bringing them with me as I move forward in life, because I don't want to be the reason a part of culture fizzles out of my family.


Absent this day.

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.
