Describe a time when someone’s words had a lasting impact on you.

 One time when someone's words had a lasting impact on me was when the kicking coach at my Kohl's training division told me that every time I run onto the field, I have to be the biggest and baddest person out there (regardless of how untrue that may be). Every time I have to go kick, I convince myself there's not a person out there bigger or stronger than me and that I'm that dude. I'd say it's been working pretty well.  



Today I took the Fences test.


Reading the play Fences was a lot of fun because it was funny to get to read and hear Mr. Rease read the part of Troy in a voice I didn't know he was capable of.

Reflect on how your cultural heritage shapes your daily expectations, inspired by "Girl" by Jamaica Kincaid. Wesley C

 My cultural heritage shapes my expectations just like in "Girl" by Jamaica Kincaid, but the tasks that I have to do are a little different. Instead of doing something like hanging up laundry, I have to take care of my dog and do the dishes, for example. I also have to take out the trash and do other various chores. Culturally, all of these chores are done by the teenagers in the family.  In class, we read and discussed the passage "Girl" by Jamaica Kincaid.  I learned how to critically think about a passage of reading and how to read intelligently. I will use this in the future at jobs and at college.

Write about a dream that felt real.

 One dream that felt real was when I went to school with no pants on. I had no idea it was happening until everyone was looking at me and I remember feeling super scared. I woke up and I was like how on this planet earth did I straight up forget to put on pants and it was just really confusing. I remember waking up scared thinking it would somehow happen to me in real life even though I knew it would never.  Today in class we finished Fences and worked on our poster. The book was very interesting. Troy ended up dying and the resolution was that Cory went to his funeral.
