Describe how you spent your time, any activities, traditions, travel, hobbies, or moments that stood out to you. You may also discuss something new you tried, something you learned, or how the break helped you reset before returning to school.

 Over break, I didn't do a lot. I mostly just caught up on sleep and went to work. I did also attend my best friends 17th birthday party which I had a lot of fun at. Work was pretty easy but tiring. While on break, my body really needed to catch up on sleep so most days I ended up sleeping around 15 hours. Now of course, I am having trouble sleeping. 

Today in class we worked on finding metaphors and similes in a Maya Angelo poem.

I learned about how to keep moving forward and to keep rising.

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.
