I GET BY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS

There are 36 students in my AP Language and Composition class, and usually we don't all get to talk at once. Today we got to talk about different things that weren't necessarily school related and we got to hear what everybody else was thinking. A couple highlights, notes, or even memories from today's conversation were when Diana was talking about her big question and I also liked how she was building different structures to see which structure would be the best to handle an earthquake. Another highlight would be when, I believe it was Cece, who brought up how TikTok affects or influences us and then this whole conversation started about how TikTok influences kids and and then the subject moved on with the topic of kids, abortions, foster families etc. Another highlight within the conversation we had as a class would be how the discussion of school was brought up. From stress, anxiety, and other problems that deal with school. It ranged from how school work pressures you, teachers pressuring you and many more. Overall it was good but at the beginning it was really quite but as the conversation went on there was more talking and sharing.
