Today we have a Spanish test and tomorrow we have a humanities test. I know all the stuff on the tests so I am not very worried about them. We started reading Night and out WWII book. Mine is Salt to the Sea. It is very confusing right now and I can’t really figure out what is going on. It is very hard to follow because it switches between 4 different point of views. It is also at what is hopefully a boring part of the story because they aren’t doing anything right now. I hope it gets better.

Last Wednesday we had the Social Justice Teach-in. It was really cool to teach all the younger kids about Veterans and their issues. We had been learning about it for a very long time and it was a long and enduring process leading up to this. I put a lot of work into it and I’m very happy with how it turned out.

Yesterday we had a basketball game against Dwight, which for some reason was at Leman. They weren’t very good so I played the entire second and fourth quarter. I had 6 points which is my career high! I was very surprised that I scored and so was everyone else.

High School

Last wednesday my advisory went to the high school. We sat in on four different classes. It was really cool to see how the high school works compared to the lower school. It helps you see what it is like in high school and know what to prepare for.

For my Karamu sheet I put a picture of my three favorite rappers, Tyler, The Creator, Lil Uzi Vert and Travis Scott. I put them on there because I listen to a lot of their music. The idea of the Karamu sheet this year was to make it a soundtrack which is why I put them on my sheet.

My Essay Writing

I think that in my ABC essay something I did well was my introduction and conclusion. I think I explained everything really well in the introduction and broadened the topic in the conclusion. I think I need to work on analyzing the evidence without getting off topic.

This winter break I went to Miami. My cousins were also there and we saw them a few times. We went swimming and went on the beach a lot which was very fun. It was 80 degrees every day instead of 10 in New York which was nice.

A moment I was surprised about last week was when we got our ABC writings back. My writing hasn’t been very good this year and I was very surprised about my grades. I got a 3.5 and 4, which is much better than I expected. My grades since then have been significantly better than before these two assignments. I think i have more confidence in my work now.
