Describe a real moment in your life that felt like the beginning of a powerful story. Tell what happened, and why it felt like a turning point in your life?

 One moment in my life that was a major turning point was when I realized my best friend wasn't a good person and didn't have good interests in mind for me. It was sophomore year when we became friends but I didn't realize the truth until the beginning of Junior year.  I realized that she was lying to me about major life changing things in her life. I also realized that she only talked to me when she needed something. If I tried to talk about me or something that didn't revolve around her she would interrupt and change the conversation back to her. When the beginning of Junior year started, I pulled away from everyone because of some personal family issues, mainly her. She would call me everyday for hours and talk about the same thing every day. I had too much to deal with so I pulled away. When I did, I realized how toxic she was being. After I realized this, I made the decision that I should stay away from her for good, so that is what I have done. 

Today we worked on writing a Rhetorical analysis

I learned about writing formats and how to use them

That is one thing I am curious about is why we haven't and what is down in the ocean? absent absent

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.
