Describe a real moment in your life that felt like the beginning of a powerful story. Tell what happened, and why it felt like a turning point in your life?

One real moment in my life that felt like the beginning of a powerful story is when I remember showing up to my first lacrosse practice with my stick awkwardly bouncing against my leg and my heart racing like crazy. I felt so nervous that I almost asked my mom to take me home, but I forced myself to stay. When I finally caught my first pass, the ball snapping into my stick, I felt this rush of confidence I’d never felt before. Running across the field with my teammates yelling my name made me feel like I was suddenly part of something bigger. By the end of practice, my arms were sore and I was sweaty, but I was smiling the whole way home. That moment felt like the start of a powerful story because it showed me I was braver and stronger than I thought.

Summary:

Today in class we worked on rhetorical analysis writing specifically thesis statements. 

Reflection:

Today I feel like I learned how to write a good thesis statement for my rhetorical analysis and I am well prepared to continue writing a full analysis.

  If you had to describe how you show love using only three objects (for example: a playlist, a hoodie, a late-night snack, a long text message, etc.), what would you choose and why? Explain what each object represents and how it connects to your personality. If I had to describe how I show love using only 3 objects I would choose a  weighted blanket, a curated playlist, and a customized notebook. I would choose a weighted blanket because love to me is a safe harbor and is about creating a secure, calming space where the other person feels protected and grounded, especially after a chaotic day. This connects to my personality because I show affection by reducing stress and providing a calm presence rather than loud declarations. I would choose a playlist because I am good at   understanding a person's inner world, moods, and tastes and this gift shows the efforts and ability I have to do so. Finally, I would choose a notebook because it symbolizes communica...

Write about something that you can't stop thinking about.  One thing that I can not stop thinking about is what I learned about in AP Psychology today. We watched this video about people called "Wild Children" who are people who were raised with little to no human contact/interactions. These children were captured at birth and were striped of their rights to do anything basically. Because they have no knowledge of language and had no one to interact with for the critical learning period of their lives they make little to no noise. The aspect that I think about the most is that I am unable to grasp the idea of how my thought process would look like without words/vocabulary/language. I can not fathom the idea of thinking without words. I am also curious about how they felt after being found and brought into the human world. Overall this is a very interesting topic to me and I have found myself unable to get it off my mind.

Which part of the annotated bibliography (summary, reflection, or evaluation) was the most challenging for you, and why? Explain how that challenge helped you grow as a researcher and how it will help you when writing your research paper.   The part of the annotated bibliography that challenged me the most was definitely the evaluation. I found this challenging because I could not find the credibility in the source itself rather, I had to do further research on who wrote the source and their perspective to see in check for biases. This challenge helped me grow as a researcher, giving me more experience on learning how to recognize a credible and not credible source and how to look for biases in each source. This will help me write my research paper to be as credible as possible, making it without a bias, and ensuring that all points of view are seen throughout my source. Summary : Today in class we finished up with our annotated bibliography. Reflection : I feel like I got a good g...
