So, there was this one time I had to speak in front of my whole class for a project, and honestly, I was freaking out. My heart was pounding, and I felt like I might pass out just thinking about it. I was scared that I’d forget everything or stumble over my words. But I just focused on breathing and remembering that I was prepared, which helped calm me down. Once I started talking, I realized it wasn’t as bad as I thought, and I got into a rhythm. My advice? Just breathe, focus on the message, and don’t worry about being perfect! Today in class we did public speaking notes.
A feeling that took me by surprise was when I felt really excited learning something new. I didn’t expect it to be so interesting, but as I figured things out, it was like solving a puzzle, and that was kind of thrilling. I thought I’d just be memorizing facts, but I ended up really into it, wanting to know more and see how things fit together. It was a cool surprise that learning could actually feel exciting and fun, not just something I had to do. Today in class we learned about a new poet. We also started reading a new poem.
I will never fully understand the depths of human cruelty. How people can deliberately harm others, whether physically, emotionally, or psychologically, remains a baffling contradiction to our capacity for love and empathy. It’s perplexing how some justify their actions through power, fear, or indifference while ignoring the shared humanity that binds us. Despite centuries of progress in knowledge and compassion, such cruelty persists in ways that seem counter to the essence of being human. While I can study it, rationalize it, or explain it in context, true comprehension of the "why" behind such actions feels eternally elusive. Reflection: Today we did another poem from Robert Frost. Summary: l learned how returning to childhood innocence.
