After reading “Out, Out—” by Robert Frost, reflect on a time when you faced a dangerous or high-pressure situation that demanded your complete focus. What made the situation risky, and how did your concentration affect the outcome?

 One situation that comes to mind when I reflect about a high concentration situation was my drivers test. I wanted to take my test in my car that I got on my 16th birthday but, my car has been in and out of the shop since then. When it finally came back out of the shop, the battery had died again. Finally I just decided to take the test in my step dads car. I had barely driven his car before and had not driven in months. I had a chance to practice one time before my mom and I walked into the place to take my test. I was super nervous. First this being a new car, and I always blank when put in high pressure situations. I ended up passing my test with a 100. 

Today in class we annotated a poem and worked on a writable

I learned about a boy who cut his hand off with a saw.

What metaphor would you use to describe your own mind?

 My mind is like a battlefield. Every day, all of my feelings, thoughts, and desires all face each other. It is a constant battle to see who is right. My mind is never calm, it is always thinking about something, or trying to figure something out. Every day, I have to have this battle to see if my negative or positive thoughts will win. Not just daily, but in every scenario I have to see who will win.  Today in class we analyzed more poems by Emily Dickerson. What I learned was I need to work on my deeper thinking skills. I have a hard time focusing on what I am reading so I need to learn to get better with that so I can analyze her poems better.

What life skills have you learned in high school that will help you live independently after high school? Which skills do you think are essential for your success after high school?

 One life skill that I have learned in high school is how to manage my time wisely. It has helped me a lot in and out of school. Time management is a very useful skill that everyone will need to learn at some point in their life whether it is for school or not. Some skills that I believe will help me be successful after high school are communication, time management, and learning how to balance everything in my life. All of these skills will help me not only in school but also in life.  Today in class we continued to work on Rhetoric skills. I learned about many new types of Rhetorics.
