Launch Response

I had absolutely no idea what Launch Day was all about before Friday. I think it's so cool how they all speak for an extended period of time about what interests them and how they can speak in front of hundreds of people.  Honestly, just about all of the presentations interested me, except for the ones about politics just because I'm tired of hearing about it, but I liked how much research everyone put into their project. My favorites would have to be the presentation by Lundyn Herring and Elliott Kellam because I can relate the most to them.

From what I can remember, Lundyn explained how you can channel how you feel through art, which is something I enjoy doing too. I like taking a paint brush and painting whatever flows out of me or writing whatever I am feeling. Elliot's presentation because the I absolutely love being by the water because it relaxes me. Going to the beach or canoeing at my Papaw's house in Mississippi makes me so happy it's actually crazy. The water soothes me and when I go to the beach, I just sit in a beach chair all day, by myself and listen to music. Although, I was talking to Emily yesterday about what relaxes her and she told me water doesn't relax her at all, which is weird to me.

    You did a great job of taking a few Launch presentations and connecting them to your personal interests and experiences. I like how you used Emily's contrasting opinion to create depth in your post.

Dear 9-year-old...

Dear 9-year-old, Enjoy your young life while you still have it. You have no homework, no tests. Life's a breeze! Playing on the playground all day is the life. The only things you worry about are the upcoming birthday parties and recess. Oh, how birthday parties are fun. Jumping around on those inflatable bouncy-houses all day. Eating a cookie cake after. School is your least priority. Enjoy playing with your neighbors and playing outside while you can. Soon, everyone becomes older and drifts in different directions. When you are this young, nobody knows any better. Everyone is equal. As you become older, children start to go in different directions and start making assumptions about one another. People create special friend groups that are impossible to enter. School becomes increasingly more challenging, and the pressure and anxiety begin. You probably don't even know what those words mean. Take it from me, a 15-year-old, I remember being friends with everyone, jumping ro

Harry Potter !!

Over winter break, for some reason, I really wanted to watch the Harry Potter movies. After I watched the first one, I told myself, wow that was really good let's watch the next one. This process continued all the way until I finished all the movies. After the movies, I fell in love with the Harry Potter series and began to read the books. At the moment, I'm reading the first book of the series. Usually, I try to read the books then watch the movies because I like comparing the movies to the books. Typically, the film doesn't include important or small details from the book. It makes me very sad when the movies change the plot. Right now, in Harry Potter and The Sorcerers Stone , Harry and all of the other first years are being placed in their houses. To be placed, the student must put on the sorting hat. What this hat is interesting because of it talks while it's trying to place you in your house. One thing I noticed in the movie that's different in the book is t

Free Post: This Weekend

I have been waiting for the weekend since Monday. It came really fast for some reason. Anyways, I love weekends. Most of the time I just sleep in and do homework. As I have explained in previous posts, I love sleeping. I can dream about whatever I want which is the best thing ever. When I'm at my mom's house, I normally wake up at 11 am, do my homework in bed, and listen to Red Hot Chili Peppers (my favorite band if you didn't know). At my dad's house, it's a little different. He wakes me at 10 am, and we normally run errands or play outside. Then I play video games like Fortnite or GTAV, then I do homework. This weekend, I have so much homework. I have a Spanish presentation and a science presentation due Monday. I think I can do it. My group and I are almost done with the Science one, and I have yet to start the Spanish project which I will after I complete my posts. Also, I have to study for a math test. This test will be moderately easy because I actually unde
