Imagine it's the year 2050. What does the world look like? How have technology, society, and the environment changed?

 During the summer I worked with a man who informed me of many things that I later learned were true by the time we get to 2025. The population is at 8 billion now when the earth is only supposed to be able to sustain 3 or 4 billion, by 2025 it is expected to be at 9.8 billion. I think we are going to start running out of resources, food, and energy. I also think more and more natural disasters are going to happen with global warming. 

Today in class we read the letters 71-75 in the color purple and then answered discussion questions.

Describe your personal approach to creativity. What steps do you follow when you’re working on a project. Tell me about a project you created that you were most proud of.

 I usually start with brainstorming and thinking of the basic idea that I want to do, sometimes when I have trouble I will use my resources and look on Pinterest or Google for inspiration. Never take it directly but create my own thing. I was really proud of this cake I made in the seventh grade of a cell, I liked baking cakes in general and I went all out and spent a lot of money on candy and other things to do the most. I spent probably 4 hours on it.  Today in class we worked on brainstorming, making thought bubbles, and ensuring you answer a writing prompt completely. We then answered a prompt relating to the color purple and chose a character to make the though bubbles about. I chose Sofia.

Easter Sunday was yesterday, a holiday full of traditions for many people. What holiday do you look forward to the most each year, and why is it your favorite? Share what you usually do to celebrate it and what makes it meaningful or fun for you."

 My family is atheist, so we do not really go all out for holidays except for birthdays. My favorite holiday would be my birthday, and others, that sounds very selfish, but not just mine, others' too, especially my mom`s, because I get to be in charge of it. I also get to make a cake for every birthday, a lot more when I was younger, for everyone, including extended family, but now I just do it for family because of time reasons. For easter we had a brunch and an egg hunt, and then I went with my boyfreinds family to church, they are catholic, and then we had lunch.

Write about an object that holds sentimental value and why it’s important to you.

 An object that holds importance to me is the jewelry box I got when I was around 9 years old. I was going through her storage room while having a sleepover at her house. When I found it I brought it to her and asked if I could keep it and when she said yes I filled it with candy from her house. I now use it for rings and bracelets and it sits on my vanity away from anything that could break it. Today in class we read two chapters of the color purple, letters 36 and 37, we then did a worksheet. The worksheet went over the relationships between the characters, their tension or conflict, and a quote that showed the tension/ conflict in those two letters. It helped me get a deeper understanding of the character's relationships and why there is conflict and tension between them.
