This speech was rather interesting to analyze because it was given by someone around my age group. Not to leave out the fact that the speaker experienced the mass school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglass High School. When listening to the speech I could tell that the speaker felt so passionate about the situation by her expression words. She added emphasis on every fact that she put out. It inspired me as a citizen for the fact that so many political officials have taken away regulations put in place for mental illness and gun control. I now know that in order to make a change speak out I must voice my beliefs and vote when I am of age. She also made it clear that it is not the students fault that the shooter acted out, but the family figures around the him. Which inspires me that when I have people that look up to me around me to be a positive figure to them and not allow them to feel alone or engage in negative activities.

Tired of Seeing C's

Today in class, we finished reading The Wife Bath's Tale. I found it intriguing because I knew in the end what would happen, but I found that there was a deeper meaning to what actually happened. I figured that the old woman would become beautiful in some way, but not through domimance. I admired this short story because of how well written it was and how shined a light on women having power of men. How it is not that bad. Afterwards, we took a short quiz on the story. I was very upset with the grade on it, I feel that I work hard to achieve what I want. For some reason, my multiple choice grades are not improving. I believe it I'd because when it comes to test, I have really bad anxiety. I second guess myself a lot. I am going to put more effort into my testing skills and hopefully improve. My goal is to make an A in the class for the whole semester.

From Effort to Improvement

Today in class we took a prose multiple choice quiz taken from a previous AP Literature test. When I first began to read, I figured it be a easy read. The only thing was that the vocabulary made the read difficult. After the quiz was over, I felt pretty confident. Honestly, I wasn't upset because I felt more comfortable while taking the test. I put effort towards improving on multiple choice questions by watching strategy videos as well as being more confident when taking the test. I'm so happy that I'm seeing an improvement.

Improvement=Inspiration

Today was a productive day! We went and checked our books from the library for our senior project as well as practice multiple choice. Even though I did make a C on the quiz, I was still happy with the fact that I see improvement. Not so much with the grade, but how smoothly the test went. It seemed easier as I navigated through the test. I was not so tensed and afraid of putting the wrong answer. I am more confident in my testing skills! It can only get better from here!
