Tuesday 4/1/25 - Write about something you’ve outgrown but still miss

Something I have outgrown but still miss is playing video games. I still play video games from time to time, but not nearly as frequently as in the past, and I also don't enjoy as much as I used to. I believe it to be one of the things that I can do throughout my life, but the enjoyment from it decreases. This may be in part to having less free time the older I get and that being the same with my friends so that I just have less time to enjoy it. It could also be due to the fact I have played these games for a long part of my life, and I simply have gotten tired, or I am just growing out of it. Despite all of this, I do miss the memories and fun that it would bring. Playing afterschool or afterchurch with my friends are some of the best memories I have from my childhood. I don't plan on giving up video games entirely, but I hope when I do play I can feel like a kid again.

Summary: Today we worked on a vocabulary assignment in class and we had a substitute teacher. We had to choose 10 out of 15 vocabulary words, then for each word we had to list the definition, select an image that best represents the word, and then give a brief 3-4 sentence explanation as to why the image best represents the word. 

Reflection: I learned that quandary means to be uncertain of what to do and that to be querulous means to be full of complaints.

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.
