Sept 29th- Write about a conversation that changed you.

A conversation that changed me would probably be with my aunt, bless her heart. She's probably the most creative and wonderful person I've ever met but she's let her body deteriorate and her bone disease and the fear of living take control of her life. I go visit her often though, because I think my dad's wrong about her. He thinks shes a prick and a lonely woman awaiting her death but I see someone who was once full of life and passion that got used and abused by the world and let that abuse get to her later in life. But about 6 months ago I was talking to her and she was talking to me in her wheelchair like she always makes an effort to get in when we come over. We were talking about all kinds of things, Art and Music are passions that we can relate on. Anyways, back to the point we were talking about art and passions and eventually it divulged into a conversation about me, Now, I tend to think I'm weird, I don't really fit in with most people. I told her that I had to change how I act around certain people because that the version of me that they liked. That's when she became more serious and told me verbatim "Don't let yourself change for other people, Other people don't understand how passionate you are then shame on them." I think this changed the way I formed relationships. Once upon a time I would change how I act depending on the person but now I'm just how I am, myself. I don't really care if people think I'm weird because well, I am! And i'm proud of it now.

What are three goals that you want to achieve this academic year?

For this academic year my three goals that I hope to achieve are to finish my marching band season strong, be able to do well on all three of my AP tests, specifically AP Bio which I hope to get a five on. Lastly, I hope to do well on my SAT or ACT. These three goals are reasonable and achievable. so far I've done a bit of studying for my SAT. But, I still have a lot of room to grow. Additionally, I've kept up in all of my classes. To tell the truth this marching band season has been night and day to my performance last year. So, overall I'm hopeful that all of these goals for this year will go well; I hope the road through my Junior year will not be as bumpy as the ones I hear about from seniors and graduates.  -Love Always, Bryson

Sept 30th- After reviewing the feedback on your argument essay, identify one thing you did well and one area you need to improve. Explain what you will do differently the next time you write an AP Lang argument essay.

One thing I did well on my argumentative essay after seeing my feedback would be my use of relevant evidence throughout my essay, such as the example of my dad and his selfies. Overall, I think my evidence is strong but I could get better at my reasoning and explaining how my evidence connects back to the claim. As with stronger reasoning I'm sure I could get the full 4/4 points on my evidence and potentially the point for sophistication which would create a big difference in my score. So, overall, I think the best idea would be to focus on earning that extra point in my evidence by connecting it back to the claim and using effective reasoning.

August 18th - What is the most creative thing you have ever made? Share what it was and explain why it stands out as your best work.

 The most creative thing that I've made is probably one of my cosplay projects this summer. I made a mask for a character I'm cosplaying through my friends 3-D printer. And I painted the white and red on the mask. Next I had to add the straps to keep it on my face with hot glue. Overall it wasn't hard but the whole cosplay took a lot for work to put together and it stands out to me for that reason.
