class related response

Last week tuesday, we attended the BAM trip. I wasn't really interested in going to the trip but I'm glad that I went. I honestly thought that our school weren't ready to perform but the performances came out way better than I expected it to be. I think our school our school did a good job making the performance into modern day talk because it made it funny. It was interesting to watch because they turned a boring Shakespeare play into something entertaining to watch. One of my favorite parts of the performance was when alexis messed up as the Lion but in a way it went with the play. You can tell that she was nervous by how ran off the stage. Overall I think everyone did a good job including the other schools.

Self Selected Response

Over the break, I visited the college that i will be attending in the fall which is Suny Cobleskill. I was a bit excited about going because i was finally going to be able to see what the college would look like and is the college everything they said it was. I was actually surprised about how friendly people were and there were more African Americans there than I thought it would be. I liked how some of the advisors made you feel welcome into the school. My major happens to be the same as some of the advisors on campus so it was helpful to me because they were able to give me a brief description about what it is like. One thing I can say is that from beginning to end I felt like I made the right choice by applying to the school.

One of the classes that I enjoy the most is Statistics. When i first found out that i had a statistics class i thought it would be extremely hard because of how it sounds.Now that i'm in the class i don't think its too bad.Certain subjects of it are easier than others but for the most part i get it.  I feel that Mr.Rich is a really good teacher. He helps me to understand the work better and always has an easier way to do the work even though i was never really good in math .I like how he's able to teach one lesson and i'm able to get majority of the lesson within one day. Because of this i was able to achieve honor roll in this class once again. I'm proud of myself because i've been on the honor roll since the beginning of the school year. I feel like this is quite an accomplishment for me because it shows that i still work hard even though i've gotten lazy at this time in the year. Hopefully i can try to make my other class grades as high as this one.

Tv Show

One of my favorite Tv shows is the new series "Empire". I like this show because of the message that its sending. This is the type of show to keep you wondering about whats going to happen next.The three sons Andre, Jamal, and Akeem are basically going up against one another to see who has what it takes to own empire. This show is interesting because it tells a story of how fame or money can tear a family apart which is something a lot of people can relate to. Also each character is different and is going through different things that people also go through such as Jamal . Jamal is different because he is gay which is what makes him my favorite character. His dad ( Lucious) hasn't really accepted the fact that he is gay so he tends to give him more of a hard time then his other two children because he doesnt feel he's good enough. I think Jamal is the character who stands out the most for Gay people as a whole because some parents wont accept there child because of it and society makes it seem as if its a crime to be gay.

One of the most frightening things to me is college. As of right now I'm confused about whether i want to go away to college or stay in the city. I'm a mommy's girl so I'm use to being up under her all
the time and going where ever she goes. She spoils me and basically held my hand for everything. The hardest thing is not being able to depend on her for college like the way i am depending on her
now. Part of me wants to go away and experience new things , explore the new environment , and meet new people while the other half wants to stay here because i don't want to be homesick and i'm
not ready to completely be on my own. Growing up and learning to be responsible at a young age makes it more difficult because i'm forced to make my own decisions. In college no one is going to be on my back about going to class, telling me to study for a test, or telling me when my assignments are due , i have to be able to balance out my schedule and learn to manage my time on my own. I'm basically not ready to be an adult.

ID

  In my government class it seems like its so hard to get the average that I want. I Like Ms.Tomlin as a teacher but i feel like she asks for too much at once. Today in class she told us that we have an essay about "Governor's Race"which is upsetting because i still have a project from her that is due next week Thursday. I feel like its a lot at once and my brain isn't able to keep up and focus all at once. I guess its slightly a good thing that she's gives out assignments this way so that it can help me prepare myself for college.
   One thing I want to work on in this class is how to speak better in my oral presentations and learn how to get less nervous about presenting to big groups of people. By constantly doing these projects every marking period should help me loosen up and do better and hopefully get atleast the 85 that Im reaching for.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

My Passion

One thing I'm passionate about is writing. To me , writing is a way to express anything you are feeling and it helps me to express myself as a person. Expressing my feelings while writing has always been very helpful for me because I'm not able to explain myself to people through words. I tend to get very easily frustrated when people do not understand what I am trying to say when it always sounds so right and makes perfect sense to me and not to every one else.

When I write down my thoughts, it becomes a stress reliever because I know what I'm talking about and I'm able to look back at it and remember how I was feeling at that moment and why. I see it as self healing because your releasing your feelings , thoughts, and emotions and dealing with it and it will not effect no one because it's for yourself.
