i hate blog.lrei.org this is so pointless. Why are we doing this. I really dont understand. I’m not going to look back at this ever again. This does not gain anything. This the worst thing we do every tuesday and it ruin’s my day. I come in happy and then I’m torn. Becuase this is so bad.
Over the weekend I went skateboarding and played basketball. It was a fun weekend and I hung out with my friends.
On spring break for the first week, I went to Peru with my Spanish class. We went to the airport early to catch our flight. We flew to Houston which was 3-4 hour flight then had a 3-hour layover there. From Houston, we boarded our flight to Lima the city in Peru which was about 7 hours. We landed at 12:30 am Peruvian time which is 1:30 am New York time so we were pretty tired. We didn’t leave the airport for a while because one of the students could not find her bag. Then we had to go through customs. We got onto a bus and started to head to our hotel. We got our rooms and went up. I was with my friend Miles. We did a lot on the trip so I’m not going to say every detail. We spent two days in Lima then flew to Cusco the city in the mountains. Then took a train to Machu Picchu then went back to Cusco, flew back to Lima and spent the rest of the trip there. Over the trip, we did many things. We learned about the Incas and their culture, visited lots of markets which were very interesting. We went to the beach, visited a school, and did some community service. Overall it was a very fun trip.
Last week we had the social justice teach in. My group was the gun control group. We educated students on our topic and they learned about the 2nd andmenmeant and background checks. The students participated in a debate on whether people should have the right to bear arms. It was a really great experience and very fun.
On January 20th I went to the Rich the Kid with 4 of my friends it was so much fun. I really liked it because Rich the Kid is one of my favorite artists so that made it really fun. We were in the pit and it was so much fun we were jumping up and down and at one point it opened up and there was a huge circle. Overall it was very fun.
In art class we just finished our finger print drawing where you would draw your thumb print using ink and then go over it with water color. Now we are working on our personal project where you pick a style of art or type of art then try to make it. My artist is Barbara Kruger and I’m working with illustrator on the computer to work on my project.
Over the weekend I played a lot of this game called fortnite. I play with lots of my friends online. In fortnite there are 100 people who go on a server and the last person to survive wins. I have only one once with Wyatt one time. Me and my friends love to play the game because it’s so much fun. Everytime I play I get better and I hope to become pretty good.
My essay was about how stereotypes are built into peoples heads and in the book American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang. My thesis and my evidence were pretty good and on point. I do need to work on my analysis because it was too repetitive and I didn´t reflect enough.
During winter break I went the holy land of Isreal. In Isreal, we did a lot of things we started off in Tel Aviv then went up to the north. We went to the Syrian and Leabon boarder and went to an Olive Oil factory. Then we went to Jerusalem. In Jerusalem, we visited in the old city and the western wall. We also went to Yad Vashem which was a very sad experience. During the trip, we walked around a lot and saw a lot of towns. Towards the end of the trip, we went to Masada which we climbed it was lots of fun. Then right after we went to the dead sea which was very cool to float around. I went with my family, cousins, and grandparents.
