 It's important that we retain the knowledge required to write with our own intelligence because eventually, we're going to miss the feeling that something is human made. If everything is made by AI and is AI slop, we're eventually going to miss what makes us human. This not only goes for writing, but also for music too (It's a big deal that AI's are starting to control ambience in restaurants and other places. Today I wrote a body paragraph on writable. I learned how to structure my arguments in an effective way.

 I think the hardest part of writing an argumentative paragraph is moving away from summary. As you know, I can talk forever and ever about something that I'm passionate about. I always try to summarize everything and moving away from that is hard to do. I'm also bad at arguing, so maintaining my position is hard in arguments because I like to try to make people happy.  Today we did an assignment on writable about writing a body paragraph I learned how to effectively defend my arguments in a debate 

 The most difficult part of writing an essay is definitely the conclusion. I don't ever understand how you're supposed to make it end like why can't the reader just stop reading? That doesn't make sense to me. I'm really good at being creative and I can be funny in my essay if it's something to be funny about but that's a weakness in itself because unfunny topics are hard for me to write about.  Today I wrote a body paragraph argument. I learned how to outline a body paragraph

 I did not attend school on Friday, I had an interview at the honors college for Columbus State University. Therefore I have no idea what other posters looked like or what people thought of mine. Today I took an interview at the honors college I learned life skills in how I should act in an interview, and I think I did well.

 The hardest part about making my poster was that all my metaphors were just trying to be similes in disguise, I tried to make a comparison without using like or as, but it was just not flowing very well and it was awkward to read. I combated this by thinking about how I can use prior knowledge of already well known metaphors and to base mine off those so that they work better.  Today I auditioned for a spot at Gretcsch School of Music and Georgia Southern University.  I found out just now that I got in and await a scholarship offer. 

 I learned that I have a natural ability to describe myself with metaphors and similes. I remember you said it would be difficult to be able to come up with them, but I guess I may be more creative than the average person. It felt easy for me to describe my life story using outside knowledge of common phrases. Maybe its because I'm from the south. Today I worked on my project about metaphors and similes.  I learned I can quickly do a lot of work if I just focus.
