One of my favorite topics that we have done would be when we did the topic about write about someone or something you love. I liked this one to see the kind is things that everyone loves. Everyone is doffernt and their minds are differnt on the certain things they love. They could love something you never thought anyone could love. Also you can be differnt in your own way by saying what you love because everyone has a differnt opinion. Some could love their mom and dad while someone who may not have them would love a grandma or something. Basically this topic just shows you that many people can love differnt things and differnt people.

I think we are tested so often so people can see how our school is teaching us. If our school ranks bad because of testing I think they would think the teachers aren't doing something right. Also I think we are tested to see how smart our brain works off things not every one would know like if they are natural at it or if they don't understand. I think adults are trying to see "are teachers doing the right thing with the students" or "are they even being taught the right things. I think that they don't really think of other ways to do it . They think what's the easiest way I can do this ?

April 15 Joural

Modern means 

cusing the most up-to-date techniques, ideas, or equipment. By saying something like "

"her clothes are very modern". Which can means like they can be old fashioned or that they can be something that can be like in style/something that can end up being trendsetting. It can also mean something that is fashionable, in fashion, in style, in vogue,up to date , trend-setting, and stylish. This is what modern means to me. Has it changed over time ? Yes, I think it has. Fashion and modernism has changed so much threw the years like if you look back at what your mom wore or your sister wore back then you would kind of laugh because that was the modern thing to do back then.

Journal April 13

Not everyone takes warmhearted for granted some may but the quote makes it seem that almost everyone does. Everyone is differnt so they won't do these things . Some may find his true some may not just depends on the kind of person that you ask about this quote . I just don't really find it true at all .

make up work

 My first conversation was with my guidance tech. We talked about if I wanted to go to a 4 year college or a community college. I told her that I was more interested in going to a 4 year college if I was able to make it into one. It may be somewhat hard to get into one, but she said if I take the right classes next year I could make it into one. As of now I'm half of biology so I am able to take chemistry next year. Then my senior year to get into a 4 year college I am going to redo algebra 2, fall semester of geometry, chemistry, and Spanish 2. Honestly I think senior year will be the hardest year for me to accomplish, but we talked about what I would have to take to accomplish my goal.

 

My secound conversation I had was with my mom. We talked about me going off to a 4 year college. I really want to experience college and living some where else besides being stuck at my house. She told me that my college is going to be payed for as long as I get in and I have the right grades. 

 My last conversation was with my sister who is going to college as of now to be an RNA nurse. She thinks that I can get into one if I honestly try. She has confidence that I will get into a 4 year, but if I do not I can go to a community until I get accepted into a 4 year. She and my family want me to just end up going to a college and being successful. The colleges that I want to be accepted are not in this state is one thing that they do not like too much. 

 Each conversation I had did help me out a lot , and I want to try to get into a 4 year and succeed to my goals.

My topic is going to be about going to a 4 year university after Highschool. I became interested in this so I can experience differnt things , get a degree, and meet new people . I care about this because I want a good job that pays really well. Learning more about this can help you succeed in life and get a better job , than you would with out a degree.When others see me at a good paying job I want them to know that I have succeeded in life. I don't want them to see me working at some fast food place knowing I never went to college. To succeed  I wil get good grades, get enough or more credits , and try my hardest to get into a college.I will plan on getting all my credits so I can plan on what college will accept me . The sources that I will need are scholarships, money ,and a bunch of studying.The things I want to succeed in are dental assistant or somebody who works for the FBI And solves crimes that have been made.For a start I would start low then work my way up to bigger crimes to solve. I think it would be an interesting journey. I think solving them can relieve people's stress and make them happy when they know what really has happened

Fahrenheit 451 First Impressions

Ray Bradbury, the author has a very different way of using syntax. Whenever he is describing something he seems to elaborate it. He lets you see an image of what he is writing inside the book. He is a very differnt, smart, unique and intelligent author. After all the explaining of the settings, Ray Bradbury makes the dialogue short and more right to the point which some people may like . I think this book will be interesting. So the dialogue makes me want to start reading and getting more into the book
