Newsletter Assignment

This week we are making a newsletter about the upcoming events for Homecoming. Each group has three people. I am with Sophie and Kelly. This project seems like a lot of fun, and I can't wait to get started. We have some good ideas and want to get started soon. I don't really know what to do, but hopefully when we get started it will be pretty easy. I also can't wait to see some of the other newsletters!

Intellectual Development

I have many goals for my intellectual development for this year. I will start by keeping all of my folders organized. This will help me prioritize my classes better. I will complete and turn in all of my homework on time. Also, I will study hard for all of my tests and quizzes. Another important thing is to not be late to any classes. One thing I need to work on is to follow directions properly. So far this year, I have done good in all of these areas.

Saints Project

This week we have been working on a new project. It requires making a powerpoint, which I have done before. It was easy for me because I already knew what I was doing and was familiar with the program. My saint was Mary Magdalene who is very well known, but I actually learned new facts about her that I never knew before. Each project is a learning experience for me.

Emotional Development

I have many goals on how I should nurture my emotional development for this year. I should do this by starting to realize the important things in life and not to take anything for granted. I should start respecting my family and friends more. Also, I should try to be the best person I can be. All of these things will help shape me to be a better person emotionally.

Storyboard

This week we learned how to make a storyboard. At first, it was really confusing but then I got the hang of it. It was actually really fun. I liked how we could choose whatever song we wanted instead of being limited to a few. This was a fun project, and I learned a lot.

Spiritual Development for This Year

I have many goals for this year on how I plan to nurture my spiritual development. I should start by going to Church more often. This will help me get closer to God. Also, I should start reading the bible more often. I can start giving back to the community by doing more than the 100 required service hours. All of these things can help me develop better spiritually and as a person.

Computer Class

So far my classes this year are hard. One of them is my computer class. I feel like we are moving way too fast and are working on too many projects at once. I feel really overwhelmed by all of the assignments. Mac computers are new for me, so it makes it even harder. I think if we slowed down and worked on one thing at a time as a class, we would all understand better. But overall, sophmore year is fun!

Jellyfish

This summer was a lot of fun. I got the chance to go to Florida with Rachel, one of my friends. It was a very exciting trip. In Florida, we went to the beach everyday. It was jellyfish season where we were, but we did not know that at the time. One day, we were swimming in the ocean and saw some little jellyfish, but we didn't think anything of it. Then, all of a sudden, we were surrounded by them. We tried to get out as soon as possible, but we were stung several times in the process. We were screaming so loud I think that everyone in the state heard us! We finally got out and saw how bad the stings were. We had red welts all over our body. It hurt really bad, but everyone else was laughing at us because of the scene we made. After that day, we would not get back in the ocean. We just stayed on the beach and swam in the pool. That was a vacation I will never forget!
