The Best Of Freshman Year

        One of my best memories of freshman year was probably when my dance studio went to Jazz On Tap in Atlanta. What made it such a great trip was that I was some of my best friends and we got do take classes from famous choreographers and also perform a couple of our studio dances. 
      The most important thing I have learned from freshman year is to not get caught up in all the drama, because believe me, there will be drama. Insteed of getting caught up in the drama lead yourself and your friends out of the drama so you can actually look back and enjoy your freshman year of high school because you only get one… Unless you fail.

        Lastly, a piece of advice I would give to next year’s freshmen is to go to school activities. If you go to more school activates I promise you will double your friendships. Attend your football, basketball, baseball games. Go to your school’s play, show choir performances, band performances, and plays! You will feel left out if you don’t!

A Lesson from Jane

Something I have learned from reading the Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman is that you cannot judge a book by its cover. Even though Jane was black she was just an innocent little girl looking for her freedom and happiness. But also we ran into black men in the novel that were not on the same path as Jane. They were rude and crude to her. So that shows that just because they are black does not mean they have the same goals and the same thoughts.

Are the Stereotypes Necessary for a Good Book?

In the book The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman the author Ernest Gaines decides to show us what the real story is. Gaines does not go the normal rout in showing all the stereotypical ways of people. Gaines tells it how it was. For example he shows the two sides of each person, white and black. He shows the nice caring side and considerate side but also the rude, inconsiderate side of white people. Gaines also shows the innocent, loving side and then the bad negligent side of black people. Gaines proves that all white people where mean, crude people who just hate black people along with showing the black people are not just innocent or negligent people.

Lookin' Back On Some Good Times...

Out of all the books from my childhood one in particular comes back into my head. I think I really enjoyed the Nancy Drew book because I liked reading about mysteries. I always loved the suspense and waiting and wondering what truth really is.  I guess you could say that the books reflected my personality. When I was young I was always into finding out the truth. So to say the one book that comes to mind from my childhood is the Nancy Drew books would prove a point that it made an impact on the reading I do today.

Things To Be Thankful For

During the Thanksgiving holiday everyone should really stop and say to themselves, what am I really Thankful for? I already know what I would say to this question. First I am thankful for my family. I could not do anything I do without my mom, dad, and brother. Secondly, I am thankful for my AMAZING friends. I don’t even know what I would do with myself with them. I am especially thankful my best-friends Kylie and Shelby. I don’t know what I would do without them. But most importantly I am thankful for my Lord & Savior, Jesus, who breathed life into me so I could breathe it back out.

Steps of My English Project

The first thing I did to get started on my project was doing research on the types of food they ate. Then I moved on the what time they ate and what they ate with. They, following the instructions from my teacher, put it all into a power point presentation. Next I took some of the foods I found from research and searched for recipes. Searching for a recipe is was took the most time. I ended up finding a recipe for ancient Rome cheese cake bread. Once I found the recipe I went to the store, got all the ingredients, and came home and put it all together. Then I took it all to school and that's that.
