Jan. 9 , stepping out of my comfort zone

 Reflection: A time I had to step out of my comfort zone was when I got more into public speaking. I used to be terrified of it and would always stay quiet. I realized I wanted to get better at it when I reached high school and realized it was something that I would need in the future and after speaking out once I actually enjoyed it. After that I´ve always wanted to start talking and would get excited about having to present. I would see it as an opportunity to keep practicing and get feedback on how I could improve this skill. 

Today in class we learned more about the memoir Wild 

I learned to go for what I want and to always be open to trying new things since it could lead me to good places. To not be afraid of the future and to see it as a nice change full of opportunities.

Nov. 17, Bringing assigned letter to life

 Prompt: My assigned letter was letter 16, which is about Celie noticing how Harpo struggles with standing up to his father and inadequacy, all seen through her eyes. I tried bringing this letter to life by choosing quotes and lines I thought really represented this. I also chose the appropriate music to play in the background to match the tone of the quotes. Another thing was choosing the right videos to play that I also thought matched the quotes, making the audience see and imagine how the chapter went down. Throughout the project, the mood I was aiming for was pity and sadness, showing how Celie feels pity for Harpo that he is torn between trying for Sofie and still being in love with her.  Reflection: today in class we presented our Adobe Express Color Purple letter video  I learned that its important to show good emotion and expression through video creating and how it can make it look better. I will use this in future projects to increase the attention of the audie...

Stepping out of your comfort zone, October 7th

 Prompt: The time I had to step out of my comfort zone was when I started to talk to more people around me. I never really liked talking to others around me or at least was too shy but I decided that it would be better if I do. Junior and Senior year I started talking to others around me and even made eye contact with those too, this was a big step for me since I was very shy and awkward back then. I noticed how nice it was to talk to new people and make new friends and that encouraged me to keep talking to others. Since doing this, I see that I am almost not shy now and can easily talk to people.  In class today we worked on the project about our character analysis  I learned that each character has a different background and beliefs making them see things differently. I will use this knowledge to understand that not everyone will have the same beliefs or thoughts on things as me and I have to respect that.

Dec. 16, Holiday traditions

 One tradition that is important to me and my family during the holidays is getting together to celebrate Christmas on the 24th. I find this important since we are able to all get together and celebrate just a day early and technically have two days that we celebrate. We open presents and wish each other happy Christmas once the clock hits 12, after that we stay and celebrate for a few hours then go home. Later in the day, now the 25th, we go over someones house and celebrate again, just talking and getting together again. I like this tradition and to this day we still keep it up, I love any chance I get to spend with my family and cousins especially during special times like the holidays.  In class we continued to watch the film and the worksheet  I learned that ìts important to cherish times with loved ones. To also never forget moments with them since things may change
