HOW I READ

When i was little I used to love to read a lot. When I was little I didn't need to imagine was happening because it had pictures in them. But, as I got older and stopped reading picture books and started reading chapter books with little to no pictures. As I got older I just stopped reading and I didn't know why. Then in junior high I started reading again and it was because of the Pretty Little Liars series. I also started to read again because my English teacher took us to the library. But, Is topped reading again when I got to high school  because English teacher didn't take us to the library anymore so I didn't feel obligated to read. Then towards the end of freshman year I got an app on my phone called Wattpad. On that app there are stories from all genres by not famous authors but by regular people who like reading and writing. Even though they are not world known most books are amazing. So know I still read all the time.

TODAY I ASKED A QUESTION

During class I read a blog called "What's your Big Question" and at that moment I realized that I don't ask a lot of question like I did when I was little. Then it was brought up to me that as we grow older we stop asking 100 questions per day like when we were little. I guess it's mostly because as we grow older we start to experience more things and as we go along we are getting answers to our questions whether we no it or not. So I started thinking and a question popped into my head. My question is "Why is that when I have nothing to do time seems to go by slower but as soon as I have something to do there's not enough of time left?" When there is nothing to do people tend to get bored and time seems to drag on but when we gave a lot of homework time just seems to slip by. I guess that's why some students don't go to school because they know they didn't finish an assignment and they would rather turn it in late but have it completed rather than turn it in on time and be incomplete. 

TODAY I WAS THINKING

As I was sitting through my fifth class of the day which was AP English I was thinking about a whole lot of other things that weren't even relevant to the class. But, I did listen to a few things and here they are.
Omniscient- all knowing
Mindfulness- be kind and mindful of others
And to take time for yourself and be aware of your surroundings.

FOR THE WIN

There are many things that a person should be proud of whether that be winning a big game or winning an award. For me I have many things that I'm proud of but for the time being I'm only going to list three of my biggest achievements. One of my proudest moments was when I went to a meeting in 4th grade at the Santa Maria Bonita School District. It was an amazing experience because very few people were chosen to go. My second proudest moment was I graduated from junior high because it meant that I was doing something right and was furthering my education. My third and proudest moment was when I got into high school and started to take Honors and AP course because not many people decide to take them because they are hard.

THE EARTH ON TURTLE'S BACK

My first impression of  "The Earth on Turtle's Back" was confusing to me at first because I really didn't know what was going on. But, as we kept on reading the more I understood it. At first I thought it was a fiction story because it had animals talking. Then Dr. Preston asked the class if we knew what type of genre it was. Issac then said that it was a myth which made me think on how it was considered a myth. The story contained personification which is why I thought it was a fiction story. I also liked that they made the muskrat a female and the heroine of this myth. I feel like it was nice that the muskrat was portrayed as a girl and a hero because women are often seen as the weaker gender. Overall my first impression of this story was that it was really nice and it gave a happy vibe

THE MAKING OF AN ESSAY

My experience with writing an essay are 50-50. Sometimes what the topic is asking is really east and I know what I want to say and what I want to write about. Other times I have no clue what the prompt is asking me to do and I don't know what to write at all. Sometimes when I know what to write I have my outline ready and I'm ready to write an essay. But, other times when I don't know what to write I procrastinate all the time and write my essay when I need to turn it in. It's also time consuming because I need to do research write it down then word it in my essay. Sometimes I feel like I did my essay wrong because I was stressing out about it.
