       This weekend, my friends and I went ice-skating. The whole week before, we had planned it out, and we were all so excited. Whenever we drove to the rink, there were so many cars and I was under the impression that it was going to be so crowded. I was quite disappointed because I knew it wouldn't be as much fun if there were loads of people there. As we walked inside, I felt the air grow colder and I immediately got so much more excited.

       I put on my skates and I went onto the ice. To my surprise, the ice skating rink was not crowded and I knew I would have fun. When I stepped onto the ice, I realized I hadn't skated in what felt like years. I practiced along the edges until I could finally do it on my own. My friends and I were having so much fun, we didn't even realize the time. We were all so upset at the fact that is was time to go. So, we all took off our skates, and we knew that we would come back soon.

    This sounds so fun! I like how you incorporated your vocabulary words you would actually use in daily life.

Fall Break

       Fall break is one of my favorite times of the year because it gives me time to relax and do whatever I want. My break started off with having a friend over to spend the night. While she was over, we went to the Episcopal football game and met up with some people there. We stayed until the very end and cheered on the Knights. After the game, we went back to my house and watched some movies.        The next day, we went to the mall. It was so much fun because we got to walk around and shop. One of my favorite stores at the mall is Sephora. We went to Sephora and tested all of the newest make-up and skin care products. After a long day of shopping, we went to the food court and got some ice cream. Once we had both gotten home, I spent the next few days relaxing and taking a break from school.

Strengths and Challenges

After a lot of writing in class, I have found that some of my strengths are organization, and voice. While writing the research paper, one of the things I found most important was making sure I stay on track and that all of my points relate back to my thesis. I have seen this strength develop from the personal narrative, where I would sometimes catch myself drifting from my theme. Also in my writing this year, I have been able to address the rhetorical situation, and choose a fitting voice. For example, in the personal narrative, I knew my audience would want an entertaining story, so I used a more playful voice. And for my literary analysis, I knew my voice should be more formal. This year I found word choice and conventions challenging. For most of my writing this year, I would try to find words that try and convey the meaning I wanted, but it was hard for me. Also, if I would sit down and write for a while, I would sometimes get sloppy and make simple mistakes in my grammar or ...

March for Our Lives Highlights: Students Protesting Guns Say ‘Enough Is Enough’ By the New York Times While reading this article describing the outcomes of the March For Our Lives protests that broke out all over the world, the New York Times informs the reader about the impact and meaning these protests had for the world. One thing that stood out to me was how widespread the cause was: “ More than 800 protests were planned in every American state, including in some gun-friendly cities, and on every continent except for Antarctica, according to a website set up by organizers ” (The New York Times). Another topic the article seemed to stress was the purpose surrounding the marches. The students from Stoneman Douglas, the school that suffered a school shooting in February, want to spread awareness about gun violence. They believe there should be thorough background checks when it comes to buying guns, and assault rifles should be banned. I chose to write about the March For Our...
