REFLECTION OF 2019-2020 SCHOOL YEAR DURING A PANDEMIC

• I LEARNED THAT NOT ONLY IS SCHOOL EXTRA HARD WHEN YOU DONT HAVE GUIDANCE BUT ITS BORING WITHOUT FRIENDS
• STAYING IN DOORS ALL THE TIME STARTS TO MAKE YOU CRAZY AND MAKES YOU EAT ALOT
• IT ALSO MAKES YOU CREATIVE 
• IVE LEARNED TO MAKE SO MANY NEW DESSERTS I WOULDVE NEVER TRIED IF IT WASNT FOR THIS PANDEMIC
• AS WELL AS HOW MUCH YOU MISS SEEING YOUR FRIENDS, OR JUST TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING
• DOING PUZZLES IS ALSO VERY FRUSTRATING WHEN YOU GET STUCK
• BUYING A POOL IS A MUST BECAUSE ITS GETTING HOTTER BY THE DAY
• YOU REGRET NOT BUYING THOSE CLOTHES FROM VICTORIAS SECRET WHEN THEY WERE OPEN
• YOU ALSO CAN WORK OUT ALOT, LIKE I MEAN ALOT

SURVIVING WITH CLASS

LET ME BE HONEST TO SAY THAT. I DO NOT LIKE ONLINE LEARNING. NOT HAVING THE HELP I NEED ISN THE BEST. SOMETIMES THE WIFI GOES OUT, MY TABLET STOPS WORKING, OR I JUST HAVE TO MANY PEOPLE IN MY HOUSE MAKING NOISE. IT IS SO ANNOYING WHEN I TELL MY SIBLINGS TO BE QUIET AND THEY START MAKING MORE NOISE AND ITS NOT LIKE I COULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY WOULD ALL JUST BEAT ME UP IN THE TRAMPOLINE.
IT IS SUCH A HASSLE TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH CLASSES BECAUSE DURING SCHOOL I WOULD AT LEAST GET MOST OF MY HOMEWORK DONE AND NOT HAVE TO DO IT AT HOME WITH ALL THE RACKET. BUT NOW IT FEELS AS IF ALL DAY EVERYDAY IS HOMEWORK TIME.
ITS NOT THAT I DONT LIKE LEARNING BUT IT FRUSTRATES ME TO LEARN NEW THINGS ON MY WON. IF I DONT UNDERSTAND IT MYSELF THEN I CANT TEACH MYSELF. ESPECIALLY MATH, LETS NOT EVEN GET STARTED WITH MATH. I HAVE DONE SO MUCH CLASSWORK AND HOMEWORK TO LAST ME A LIFETIME IN PRECALCULUS. I STRUGGLED SO HARD TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS LEARNING. IT WAS ESPECIALLY HARD WHEN I ASKED MY TEACHER A QUESTION AND HE EXPLAINED BUT I STILL DIDNT UNDERSTAND BUT I DIDNT SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE I WOULD FEEL LIKE A BOTHER.
ALL IM SAYING IS, CAN WE PLEASE GO BACK TO SCHOOL.
P.S. I MISS MY FRIENDS

LEARNING IN THE AGE OF CORONAVIRUS

I THINK ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO LEARN ABOUT THE CORONAVIRUS AND TO BE INFORMED. ITS ALSO GOOD TO BE INFORMED WELL ENOUGH TO NOT FREAK OUT ABOUT IT IF ITS NOT NECESSARY. NOT ONLY ARE MANY PEOPLE OVERLY OBSESSING ABOUT IT BUT ITS GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE WE CANT EVEN BUY TOILET PAPER

PREVIEW OF GATSBY ESSAY

Is Gatsby’s desire for success—however we define it—evidence of the American dream, obsession, a personal sense of honor, or something else? Does Gatsby symbolize our culture and even our own desires, or is he an outlier? 

 Many people strive to succeed, either in a job, school, and even a relationship. The American Dream is an example of something that someone strives to have. The perfect house, the perfect family, and the perfect job. These are all things every American hopes for but not everyone always gets, just like the unfairness tragedy that occurred to Gatsby.

In my personal opinion Gatsby does symbolize our culture and our own desires. He strived for almost 5 years to just have the girl he always loved, right next to him. Gatsby is a determined person. He does anything and everything in his power to even just get a little close to his one true love, Daisy. All that Gatsby desired was to rewind time and act like the last 5 years never actually occurred and wanted to forget that Daisy even loved another man.
