Today we did a mock election. We also read a new story. I am almost finished with the questions. I will finish them tomorrow. It was hot in class today.
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.
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.
The holiday I look forward to the most each year is Christmas. It’s my favorite because everything just feels cozy and full of joy, especially with all the lights and decorations. My family always puts up the tree together, and we bake cookies while blasting holiday music. On Christmas Eve, we watch movies in our pajamas and drink hot chocolate. The next morning, we open presents and just hang out all day with good food and laughs. What makes it meaningful is spending quality time with my family and feeling like everything slows down for a bit.
