Letter to Future Self

Dear future me, 
Hey, I am writing you this letter on June 4, 2020. I am currently 14 years old and my last day of my freshman year in high school is tomorrow June 5. This year has been crazy so far and so much has happened. I only got to experience about 2/3 of my freshman year due to the corona virus. We were told that we would take a two-week break at home to help stop spread the corona virus on Friday, March 13,2020. We haven’t gone back to school since. It has been 2 and ½ months doing school from home because of the corona virus. I was excited at first because who doesn’t love a break from school, but over these months I have grown to miss my friends, so I hope I can go back for my sophomore year. Corona virus also ruined my competition season which is normally March – July. That is my favorite time of the year because that is when I make the best memories with my dance friends and I have a lot of fun. We were supposed to go and compete at nationals in Ocean City for a week with our friends, but that was just recently cancelled. Along with the corona virus, our entire country is full of protestors and riots due to the black lives matter movement. Many cities and states have been destroyed and burned down. It is getting out of hand. I really hope that all of these tragedies will end soon, and we can have the best year ever in the rest if 2020. I am so sexcited for summer 2020. We are planning on going to the beach with just Alex and our dad on Father’s Day weekend, which is Friday, June 19th - Sunday, June 21st. Even though competitions and nationals were cancelled we are going to try to go to our condo in Ocean city as much as we can because we are trying to sell it. Hopefully that means lots of vacations to the beach this summer. I am also excited for my birthday because I am going to be 15. Ahh I can’t believe it. I also hope to make so many good memories in sophomore year to make up for lost time in my freshman year. It will be the best year ever. I hope everything is well in the future. Am I living in my dream house near the beach? Do I live near my sister? What job do I have? Am I married? Do I have kids? How are my parents? How is life? Am I happy? Anyways, I will make sure to make these years the best of my life so I can look back while I read this in the future and smile remembering all the fun times I had and the memories I made after I wrote this letter. 

Sincerely, 
14 year old me

Temple of Apollo and Temple of Artemis

Image
Today is the last day before Spring Break! Today we were assigned to find two images of Greek architecture and explain them. The first image I found was the Temple of Apollo: The temple of Apollo was built in the 7th c. B.C. in Delphi, Greece. It was a very big temple, but as you can see in the picture  is  was  destroyed many times over the years.  It was built by Trophonios and Agamedes, two legendary architects. The temple was built and named after the god of  archery, music and dance, truth and prophecy, healing and diseases, the Sun and light, poetry, and more. It is known as the  religious  sanctuary sacred to honor Apollo.  The next greek architecture I found was the Temple of Artemis:   Both of these pictures are of the Temple of Artemis, but the first one is what people beige it looked like from ancient days, and the second picture is what is left of it now. The temple was built in the 6th century B.C. and is located in the western coast of the Asia Minor, now a Turkey.

Thought about cyber school

I have lost count of the number of cyber days, but today we were assigned to write a thoughtful blog about integrity, new responsibilities, how this affects others, and how we handle this situation. Like what was said in the assignment, this is a new experience for all of us. For some it might be hard to adapt to the situation, for others it might be easier. We are all handling this differently. I think we need to consider everyone involved. From my experiences so far, in the two weeks of cyber school, I can say that I do get frustrated because of the workload that I get somedays. I admit that I find myself trying to find shortcuts to finish earlier sometimes, but most times I actually put a lot of effort in my work. I actually get homework that I have to submit every day, except d and h days, for dance. It is different things like filming we do certain workouts or following along in an online class. Sometimes they can be fun. After reading the blogpost for today, I realize that we ar

Corona Virus talk

Today in class we talked about the corona virus. We talked about cyber days, the length of time we will get out, the right way to be sanitary, how to stay healthy, and what the virus is/the symptoms. While talking in class we did not know if/when we were going to get out of school and start cyber days. As of tonight, we were told that we are starting cyber days on March 16 and continuing them until March 27, that is a total of 2 weeks. At first when I heard this, I didn't think much of it because we talked about possibly getting out for a month or 2 in class. I was excited until I realized that we might even get longer if the virus spreads faster. I hope we get back before spring break so we can enjoy it. In class we also discussed how to properly wash our hands so we can stay healthy to prevent rising numbers of infected people. I am anxious to hear what our cyber days will be like. I wonder if we will have to start classes at 8 or just given assignments to finish by the end of t
