How did I do?¿

Today, I got interviewed in class, and I really want to know how I did.

Sen’s Relaxation

Ever since I started Junior year, the more I realised that having time for myself is extremely important, to stay sanely healthy! To stay positive and energetic, and to never let the sadness and sorrow take over your life. I agree that in most cases, you may say, “But Sen, I have so much work and would have to do all of them to receive good grades/results.” or “I really want to go all out and join and participate in as much extracurricular activities my busy schedule can handle.” There are more possible reasons, and they may all be good reasons, but you have to always remember that no matter how important they are, once it affects your mental health, yourself should be priority. No worries, I am also one of you, and is still adjusting into a better time management. I am actually not educated enough in many parts of my subjects, especially math, so I am required to work harder than others. While being part of choir, drama, church, and other hobbies. Not to mention, making the time f...

Literary Analysis 2

Title : Frostblood Author: Elly Blake Year Book Published: 2017 1. What drew me into this book was the title because somehow, my mind was curious as to how frost and blood connected. Which then led me into thinking about what personality and characteristic the main character would have just by judging from the title and how the book is designed. I expected and hoped to be completely attached to the characters of the book because I know that once that happens, finishing or reading the book would be less harder to  accomplish. Understanding the theme, plot, and characteristics of every single character is easier to know. 2. What kept me reading the past 10 pages was my curiosity as to how the main character, Ruby, and her family got into the awful situation, and why it was such a big deal for her to be a so called fireblood. 3. My reading habits are thinking ahead and writing or marking any parts of the book, I feel, should be remembered or are important. Thinking ahead wou...

The Value Of My Time

The time investments that I am making these days are mainly about school, church, and extracurricular activities. For sure, those take up most of my time because they are giving me the sense of success and pleasure that may help me achieve or satisfy my obsession over getting recognised. Another reason is because I am one who seems like the type to have a rightful amount of confidence and self-esteem, yet, those are my time investments because they are helping me boost up the confidence and self-esteem. The time investments that are helping me achieve my goals I have planned for my future are the same ones. School wise, studies are important for a bright future, of course. For church, coming from a religious family, trusting and relying everything to God is important, and having to work to keep my faith up is very very important. As for the extracurricular activities, they are helping me regain the missing and lacking confidence and self-esteem I should have for the real world I am pr...

On Self-Reliance Part 2

“Good will not have his work made manifest by cowards.” “Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron ring.” We feel at our best when we know we did our best. Summary: “Young people/teenagers are nonchalant” - different thoughts as to why that statement exist - technically, everyone are just being themselves The summary of this I agree and want to point out that hopefully I can tell the entire world such. Not knowing those points or anything in the Emerson essay, I feel, is the reason why many are so misunderstood and are having troubles accepting certain facts or opinions about reality, themselves, and others.

Rhetorical Strategies Part 1

Ethos - convincing an audience with a credible person as the evidence. (artist, famous doctors, etc.) Pathos - convincing a audience through their emotions Logos - persuading an audience using facts and figures Kairos - a right time for a decision or action Example: ETHOS story - The Ethical Challenges Self-Driving Cars Face Everyday author - Johannes, philosopher ( works with engineers in, “Standard Center Automative Research”)

First Impression: On Self-Reliance

“Ne te quaesiveris extra." - “do not seek outside yourself” / “look within” “Our acts our angels are, or good or ill,” “Cast the Banting on the rocks,... Power and speed be hands and feet.” - this goes to our very being Eminent - famous or respected Admonition - lecture or warning Toil - work the belief is genius, not the thought we have an inside voice - mind that we talk to ourselves with not getting education from books , etc. thinking for yourselves “Imitation is suicide” “The only champion of your life is you.” My first impression of this is kind of a feeling and then a thought because the more words I read, the more woke or the more my mind started thinking about the past relatable experiences come into mind. I felt like I was being scolded or somewhat being reminded that I am lazy to think or give myself any credit, and let others steal the thunder or so.
