After watching the short film Identity, write a blog post reflecting on how the masks in the film represent the pressure to fit in and the struggle to discover who you really are. Choose one moment from the film that stood out to you and explain why. Then, connect the film’s message to Langston Hughes’ poem “I, Too” and to the mask you are creating in class. What part of your identity do you want your mask to reveal?

 one moment in the film that stood out to me was when she took of the mask in the closeted room. To me, her sad facial expression showed that she did not want to be like everyone else, and truly wanted to be herself. I think this film showed a strong sense of feeling like you have to fit in, and I can relate to it because in high school, it's important to everyone to be cool and fit in. Hopefully my mask can be transparent to who I am and act as a mask, and simultaneously reveal my traits and passions. 

today we finished working on the mask

I learned that you shouldn't hide who you are.

oct 3Write about something you’ve always been curious about.

 Something I have always been curious about is where we go after we die. Although I am religious and believe in Jesus, I still have occasional doubts in my head. I believe that we go to heaven, but even that limits my knowe=ledge of where we go when we die. I don't know what heaven is like, or what the environment will be. It always scares me so I try not to think about it.  Today we wrote a paragraph by collecting evidence and explaining it for our unpopular opinions.  I learned that you need a a counterclaim for an essay to prove your point.

 Over the break, I took a trip with my family to North Carolina where my dads side of the family lives. We got to see the mountains, which was really intriguing and beautiful. I also spent a lot of time at home, seeing other family and friends. We had family dinners, played games, and had many long conversations. Overall, it was a great break with lots of quality time with people I love.  My first goal that I want to achieve this year is keeping my attendance up . This goal is important to me because although I have complications, I care about my grades and learning ability.  To accomplish this goal, I will get more hours of sleep so that I am not tired, keep up with medications, and get friends and family to help motivate me to go to school.
