Something that I am thankful for has to firstly be God because without him I wouldn't be able to do anything with anyone. The second thing that I am thankful for is family because they are what keeps me going and striving for more.the third thing that I am most thankful for is my friends and relationships because they can sometimes be a safe place for those time you don't wanna talk to family. The 4th thing that i am thankful for is me because we only get one life and it's important to be thankful for it. In conclusion this sums up some of the things that i am most thankful for. In class we took 2 tests one of them was a test for Dekalb county and the other was a test from the poem we analyzed. We did not really learn anything this day because we were doing test.

 I can say a Truth that at a point of time that I was afraid to accept is when someone told me a particular item from my clothing brand would not sell. At the time I thought that they were just trying to make hateful comments. Later on after I found a new designer for my brand I truly realized that it was true and I couldn't be mad about it. Sometimes we tend to think that just because someone has an opinion that we don't agree with that they dislike us or what we are doing but actually, this could just be them being honest. To be honest I don't even like the design anymore but that is a truth that I was afraid to accept. I have now learned to be more open to opinions and at the same time don't let them tear me down, to always believe in myself. In class we just finished the last two poems that we didn't get to finish and also did some make up work.

 An adventure that I would like to go on is an adventure to a mysterious island or forest that hasn't been discovered, like somewhere off the maps. The reason that I want to go somewhere off the maps is because going there would allow me to see things that have not been seen before. It gives a look into united freedom or into a different perspective of the world. Us as humans are only subjected to know the things that we can see, hear, touch, and feel so this would give an opportunity to experience something that had never been experienced before. This is why I would choose to go somewhere off into the distance as an adventure that I want to go on. Today in class we went over another poem and we also analyzed the poem to get and understanding for it and break it down. In class I learned how to properly break down and analyze a poem to find its meaning and understanding.

 Something that I never fully understand is life or even the after life and how is it supposed to operate. i also want to know what happens in the afterlife or even if all of this is real or am i just living in what some people call a simulation. the reason i do not understand it is because no one truly knows what happens or why, even though i am christian and i know it wrong to question Got it still leaves me curious. I also wonder if life is the after life like a break or is it a place where we continue to work with peace. To conclude my paragraph that is one thing that I could never fully understand. In class we read a new poem and analyzed it to find the themes, topics and if they were a message, lesson, or moral. I learned how to properly analyse a poem and what certain things in the text mean. I also learned how to know the different types of themes. 

 While most people would say money or materialistic things one thing I truly wish I had more of is wisdom. Most people think that wisdom comes with age, but it comes with experience and knowledge. The reason i said I would choose wisdom over money or materialistic things is because with wisdom those things can come with it. Certain areas i want to have wisdom in are financial responsibility, cars because I don't even know how to change a tire, and  lastly I want wisdom in business management. so that concludes the meaning of why I choose wisdom as something that I want more of because to be wise is to be knowledgeable. in class we worked on our projects that are due Monday so we could have more time to get them completed. in class we didn't really learn anything Friday.

One day when I was walking down the street back in New Orleans, I saw a man and I didn't know who he was. He stopped me and said "how are you doing today", this caught me off guard but that day i got into an argument with some family members and i took a walk. As I responded to the question I said "not very good today" and I explained to him what happened. He asked me a question, he said "if you could go back and choose a new family would you?". I thought about it and I said no, that's when he gave me $100 and said buy something for your family big or sum it up to you. Today in class we went over another poem and analysed it the poem was about how valuable life is, and how nothing lasts forever. One thing that I learned from the poem we read was that nothing lasts forever, it really opened my eyes about how short life is. Another thing I learned is to cherish the things that you have while it's here because it could all go away in an instant.

 when I was younger, I got a puppy for Christmas it was black with blue eyes. The amount of joy I had couldn't be described. I loved that feeling, the feeling of joy or excitement and that's what made it so great. it was also the first pet that I have ever received so that's another reason I was so happy. for that Christmas I remember getting a new gaming system it was a play station.  Today in class we discussed a new poem, it was about a boy who cut of his hand while using a saw even though he was just a child. In class we learned about several different things and topic within the poem about the boy who cut off his hand and later died. We learned about how you shouldn't lose concentration when using power tools and also, how youth can be asked to do adult tasks.

 One time felt completely lost is not actually a place or a physical thing.  I can say In life I have been lost because high school is coming to an end. I'm still unsure about the route I want to take after high school and that's the scary part. There are so many different options I don't know what to choose, for example the military, college or even the work force. The thing that I can guarantee is that after high school no matter what I will find a way.  In class we finished our one pagers, I didn't get to finish mines but I got most of it done and after we worked on vocabulary. The main thing that I learned was a few new vocabulary word and how to use them. some of the new words I learned are ergo, erotic, and elixir.

 Last year I took a trip to Los Angeles during the summer,  the time I spent there was perfect. there was so much to see walking on the strip in Hollywood. I went to the beach and I also went to Beverly hills with huge mansions. after that I went to the Sofi stadium, which is home to the charger and the rams with open gift shops. The host showed us the suits for the goal line area and the prices everything about Los Angeles was great.

 today in class we read a short story, it was a fictional story. during the story Mr. Rease asked us questions as we read along. the story came with discussion questions that we have to do along with it.

 Today in class we took a test but originally we were supposed to present our work for the short story "The Rockpile". but the test wasn't that hard, the test only had 27 questions and some of them were like simple vocab questions.
