Week Blog Review (Week 15)

Week Blog Review-Week 15

This week had been great until Friday, the last day before Christmas Break. In piano, the class practice the sharp scales, half of the flat scales and Christmas songs.  During this week my piano teacher gave us two new Christmas songs that I have yet master: "Silent Night" and "Deck the Halls". The first three days was pretty normal just studying the Christmas songs and the scales F major, Ab major, Bb major, and Eb major. On Thursday, I helped my piano teacher with setting up the pianos for the winter concert on that day and spent the first period in the theatre. Friday was the test for the scales F major, Bb major, Eb major and Ab major. Oh, the letter "b" beside the capital letters mean flat. I should have studied more with the fingering for the scales because I think I didn't got a good grade for the test. As for Geometry, my class and I continued work on detour proofs before being introduced to constructing diagrams, givens and proofs for problems without diagrams. It's very interesting and challenging to use only words to construct a diagram, two or more givens, and a statement to prove. On Friday, we was given practice on how to copy a triangle without just tracing the given triangle. In Spanish II, my class and I did review of chapter 2B, took a test on the chapter on Tuesday, watched the movie "In the Time of the Butterflies" on Wednesday and Friday and did a lab day on Thursday. In English II, my class did black boy presentations on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I think my group and I did well on our presentation with our creative approach on the presentation of the seminal events of the main character. Friday we only did a word search puzzle with the word given to be found being the names of all my classmates in the room. P.E was the worst class in the week because we was playing basketball and I got a bit too competitive and worried about not contributing as much as I could to my team. In US History, we watched the movie Glory on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and I loved the movie. It was very awe-inspiriting to see the determination of Shaw. Friday and I believe on Monday as well I watched roots, we on the part where chicken George returned to see his sons and his wife. As for Chemistry, my chemistry teacher teached the class and I about the spectrum, wavelengths, and colors for the first four days of the week. On Friday, we had a party and I could not enjoy as much as I wanted to because I was very stressed out my image to my fellow classmates and other students of the school. Overall, great week until fifth period gym on Friday.

Week Blog Review (Week 14)

Week Blog Review-Week 14

This week had been very fun, amusing and stressful despite it being the 2 week mark before Christmas break. During this week, I studied, did homework and practice for my classes, especially for piano. For piano, I practiced the songs Jolly Old Saint Nicholas, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, The First Noel and The March of Three Kings. I find the song The March of the Three Kings very hard to play compare to all the other songs I was taught in piano class so far because for the song I must play a continuous melody for the left hand while playing another different melody for the right hand. It's only difficult because I kept playing some notes at the same time as the notes for the left hand, which is wrong. Otherwise, the other three songs is easy to play and I have already mastered Jolly Old Saint Nicholas and The First Noel. For the song We Wish You a Merry Christmas, I just need to practice the second part of the song to master the song completely. In Geometry, my teacher gave us review of chapter three of our books before testing us on the chapter on Wednesday. The test was easy and I believe I passed the test with only one problem wrong due to miscalculations on the second part of the question. On Thursday and Friday, the class was introduced to detour proofs, which I have trouble completing so far or completing the proofs in fewer steps. In Spanish, my class did book work, partner work, note taking and lab work on chapter 2B and past stem-changing for the majority of the week. However, my class practice listening and translating by listening to a song in Spanish and then translating the lyrics in English. In English, we did journals, group work on our projects on the novel Black Boy and took our unit 5 test on Friday. The group project stressed me out a bit because I think one of my group members did not place her chapter events on the documents. In P.E, my class played basketball games in teams except for Friday because our teacher was out for that Day. P.E on Thursday was exceptional fun because I finally lost my over-completive spirit and just focus on having fun with my classmates despite my team losing all our games so far. In United States, we had a history trial for John Brown with the witness of both the Defense and Prosecutors being actual historic figure while the remaining class is the jury. In the end, the prosecution won probably because the defiant pretty much was a liability to himself, but I already felt that the trial was a bit one-sided since we was trying to prove that John Brown was not criminally unmoral for killing people. Right quick, in chemistry we just took notes on electron configuration and took a test on Friday on electron configuration. Overall, the week was actually good, plus I brought presents for my family to put under the Christmas tree. I hope they loved their gifts, I just need to buy my mom a gift.

Week Blog Review (Week 13)

Week Blog Review (Week 13)

This week was a great week, if I do not count the worse days of the week: Monday and Tuesday. These two days only was terrible because of events that involved losing time because of public transportation and due to stress. The week was a bit unusual because my piano teacher did not came to school on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for reasons I can only guess based on context clues. Monday was only terrible because it took an hour and twenty minutes for me to get home instead of the usual 35 minutes, the twenty minutes for just waiting for the bus to arrive. Otherwise, Monday was still a good days in term of no stressful events. In piano, I just practice In the Swing and the scales. In Geometry, my class did review of homework assignments based on Chapter 3 of the geometry book. The chapter been a bit hard for me to understand completely as I solve the proofs either wrong or in too many steps that are not necessary. Spanish was just introducing our next chapter in the Realidade II books. Our new chapter, 2B, is focus around terms about shopping, items that would be found in a store and description of these items. English was presentations and the beginning of assigning groups for the project of this week. P.E was just practicing lap-ups for the test. US History was just note taking on the differences between the north and the south in the mid-1800s. Lunch was normal and finally Chemistry was review of electron configuration. I realized that I should make a summary of each day because I can't remember many key events on Tuesdays, Wednesday and Thursday. Tuesday was only not a good day because I had given my Chemistry teacher only one of the three required graphs, thus when I hand her the completed work it will be considered late work. The only other key events I could only remember from the school week is the sharp scale test I had in Piano, a experiment on electron probability and doing wordplay for chapter 2B of the Realidade book.

Week Blog Review (Week 12)

Week Blog Review-Week 12

This week was very relieving compare to the other weeks, and with a little procrastination. The main reason the week turned out so relieving is because I had Wednesday, Thursday and Friday off because of Thanksgiving break. I can remember being surprised last Sunday that the school board gave students Wednesday along with Thursday and Friday; I expected for the school board to take Wednesday away to sneak another day of school for students. Now I wonder if the school board finally had recovered enough days for the missing school days last year because of the cold days. Going back to the week, I had only Monday and Tuesday for this week. Monday was a review day for Piano, Geometry, Spanish, US History and Chemistry.  The other classes was introducing a new concept for the class to study over the break. Tuesday was a good day as I finished two tests, received very little homework and it was the last day before Thanksgiving break. I tried finishing all my work on Tuesday night, but I only managed to finish my US history homework. The next day, Wednesday, I finished my geometry homework and my chemistry homework. Thursday was thanksgiving! My family, as the one I live with in my apartment, used to have big thanksgiving dinners when we used to live in our previous home, but now we have small thanksgiving dinner. Each of my aunts and uncles' family have their own thanksgiving dinner except for my aunt pearl, who invites all family members to come to her house to eat. Friday was my dad's birthday, but he didn't had a big party for him as he spent the night out with my mom. Saturday I finished my author presentation on my computer, but I realized I forgot to export the slides. Now my author is Margaret Mitchell, the author of the book Gone with The West. Finally, today was just spent finishing my practice for piano on the flats and In the Swing. Overall, a good week by default (since I had three extra days off from school).

Week Blog Review (Week 11)

Week Blog Review-Week 11

This week had been a lot better than last week, except for Tuesday. Tuesday was not a good day. Let's start on Monday. Monday was an average day for me as my classes overall was normal. Piano we began practice for the song Stepping Stones, Geometry was the start of learning how to find triangles congruent, Spanish was learning adjectives, English was author presentations, P.E was practicing how to dribble, US History was watching Roots, lunch 7th period and finally Chemistry was doing review of chapter 3.  Tuesday was the worse day of the school week as I lost my vocab book on that day, was nearly locked out of my gym locker and stressed out at home trying to complete geometry questions. Wednesday was the best day of this school week as I found my vocab book in the same class it was assigned to me actually where I placed the book. I also had enough time to finish the work in Unit 4 before Mr. Rehak asked the class to have the books checked for Unit 4 finished. I also found my sketchbook, which should also have been a red flag for me to notice that my books were gone as the sketchbook is a big sketchbook. P.E was good as I found out the proper way to lock the lockers as my school of this year now have digital locks. US history and Chemistry, the last two classes of the day, was normal. Thursday was a no-school day for high school students because of Report card pickup. I did okay, have all A's and B's but an D in Geometry. I only had an D in geometry because I was not turning the POWs on time and I was getting B's and C's on tests. Yet I'm not too worry, which is a first since in the past I know I  would panic in this situation. I enjoyed Thrusday and used the day as a relief day. All I did was first practice piano at 9:00 to 10:00 in the morning, then watched YouTube videos, played transformice and listen to music. Friday was  a normal day, not counting 4th period since we had a sub in that class since the teacher was out for Friday. In conclusion, for this week, a good week.

Week Blog Review (Week 10)

Week Blog Review-Week 10

This week started out good and ended a bit difficult with just a bit of confusion at the beginning, middle and the end of the school week. I also had to battle my laziness yet again a few time, but the week was still good. One reason the week was a good week is two days that I had the day off from school, which was Wednesday for Veteran Day and Friday for Professional Development Day. I remember last week I mentioned that I went to the Museum of Science and Industry with my dad, and it was so amazing! We went to three paid exhibits and many free exhibits, all of them was equally interesting in their own right. My favorite exhibits however is the weather exhibit, the 3D printing exhibit (paid exhibit) and the chemistry exhibit. Going to this week, the week was a bit hard for me just because I can't stop being lazy, or I think I can't stop. It's very frustrating and I feel that maybe I need help but my foolish pride won't let me ask for help. I actual found out today (Saturday) that I have on bad grade in Geometry, most likely because I wasn't turning in the POWs on time because most of the questions I forgot how to solve or was not taught how to solve my first year. As for my week, since I got a bit distracted, was overall ok. I had a driving exam on Monday, a chemistry exam on Tuesday, and a piano test on Thursday. I believe that I did well on my chemistry and piano test and I was told on Thursday that I had passed my driving exam. Next I will have to take driving classes to get my driving permit, but not at my school because it does not offer driving classes. I will try to not focus on the bad event of the week and move forward, and I am taking the news of my bad grade quite good, I am those people who panics at one failed grade, but somehow the constant reminder that colleges and universities will accept me with one bad grade stop me from panicking. Hopefully my Geometry teacher will not mention the bad grade to me because it will only make me feel worse about myself as I already hate myself for the grade. Right! Back to my week, I really sidetracks this week. On the two none-school days, I just relaxed and sadly barely did any work on those two days. In fact, I am going to start and finish my US History homework after this is posted. The week could have gone much better, maybe next week will be better.

Week Blog Review (Week 9)

Week Blog Review-Week 9

This week was filled with determinations,  stresses and overall strange for the last two school days of the week; the most typical definition for an week expect for the strange part. Monday was determination days as I finally reworked my schedule to have designate proper study and homework time, but also me time to myself to relax at home. Monday was my favorite day out of the school days of the week as I was reminded some of the cartoons I watched when I was younger. I was taking a piano quiz for tempo and dynamics, which I believed that I passed with flying colors. The cartoons that flashed in my mind as I took the test was the Little Einsteins and Courage the Cowardly Dog, but mostly the Little Einsteins. Basically, the Little Einsteins is a show about five kids that goes on musical adventures in their magical rocket ship and teaches viewers about music.  Tuesday and Wednesday was the stressful days as I was stressed over how I did on my grade for tests I did in the previous week, which for the most part did well on. The only bad grade I receive on a test this week is my geometry test, which received a 75. However, it's a passing grade and therefore I didn't necessarily failed the test. my worries was relieved when I went to the counselor's office on Wednesday during my lunch period and talked to the counselor about the problems I had. The best part about meeting the counselor was I was given a sheet of all the service learning hours I had earn thus far, which is 26 hours. I was very glad when I learned that I had 26 service learning hours as I had stressed over before the meeting about how to find how many service learning hours I had earn to make sure I surpass the required 20 hours for sophomore. Thursday was an intersecting and good day as it was an half-day for my school and I met one of my friends that I haven't seen for a month. We chatted on the bus about our classes, tests and assignments we had so far, it felt so nice to be able to talk to a fellow student who share similar issues or assignments in their life. I also informed her a bit about the book she will be reading for her class soon, which she said was the Odyssey. Today was the strange day I took a full eye-exam which took a total of 2 hours, a full two class period and half-a-class period. I didn't mind as I was finally getting a new pair of glasses that would have the right amount of medicine in each eye, as my current pair don't have the correct amount of medicine in each other. After the eye-exam and vision testing, I went to 6th period and almost made it to the top 5 of the current events kahoot. I was so close! I mess up the last question about the company who owned Candy Crush was selling away the game or something of that manner. The rest of the day was average.

Week Blog Review (Week 8)

Week Blog Review-Week 8

This week had been a successful in studying for the most part with only one good day being spoiled. Monday was the worst day of the week only because I had this falling out with my parents over this event I was going on Friday, but everything is fine. I also struggled to complete the pows from my Geometry class because most of the questions on the recent pows are on quadrics and applying algebra which I did not study since the beginning of school break. I did some studying earlier to complete some questions in the recent pows. I also had two projects I had to worry about in the first three days of this school week, one being for Drivers' instruction and the other for English II.  I finished in my Drivers' instruction project and have to put my Author's presentation on soon. Somehow it's ridiculous how there is barely any information for Pete Nelson, author of "Left for Dead: A Young Man's Search for Justice for the USS Indianapolis. I can only find little for his early life, family and other extra facts that would make my project an "A". Tuesday was a bit better, despite having doubts going to a special event on Friday which is a lecture/award ceremony/dinner at Northwestern University for a chemist. I also forgot a lot of things this week compare to the other weeks, from forgetting supplies to actual assignments that I made up the next day. Wednesday was the second good day of the week as I caught up with all missing work and completed long-waited tests for Piano and Geometry. Thursday was a normal day, at least from I can remember from memory. Finally, Friday was the best day with little homework and the Leisure/dinner. It was a good week

The Absolutely True Diary of A Part-Time Indian Essay

Junior: The Loyal Native American


Prompt: “It has been argued that Junior is an ‘assimilationist Native


American’ who has abandoned his people.


In the novel, “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian”, a Native American name Junior transfer from a reservation school Wellpinit to mainly caucasian school Reardan.  From the time Junior transfers to Reardan to the death of his grandmother, Junior was considered a traitor to his tribe on the reservation except for his family members and close friends of the family. In the novel, Junior build friendships in Reardan and earned respect from most of the students and staff of the school once Penelope started dating him in the chapter Hunger Pains (Page 104). Many theories Junior mention in this chapter that may be the reasons why Penelope starred dated, but the outcome was more acceptance from the people of Rearden as his popularity grew due to his odd relationship with the noted “beautiful and perfect” Penelope. Junior joins the basketball team at Reardan in the chapter Reindeer Games (page 135) and fought against his former school twice. The second game between Reardan and Wellpinit ended with Reardan winning against Wellpinit, but also Arnold feeling ashamed to be part of a team who had defeated his former school.


Junior had partially assimilated into culture but he never abandoned his tribe at the reservation. Junior remained on the reservation after transferring to Reardan, coming back each day to live with his family in their house. Junior in the novel indeed took part and adapted to new cultures in his new school including going to more social events, creating friendships with other students at Reardan, and change his approach to bullies from fighting to more passive approaches. However, Junior did not leave his tribet. In the chapter In Like A Lion,  Arnold expressed empathy with Wellpinit knowing some of the very terrible situations that most of the players in the wellpinit team goes through each day. There situations, included alcoholic relatives, hunger some days, and mainly close to nothing compare to all the opportunities and devices that most Reardan basketball players had access to at anytime. Junior in that chapter was acknowledging the hardships of his tribe even when his team had losted the game.


In the novel, there have been mentions and hints of the some of the residents of the reservation considering Junior a traitor for leaving Wellpinit or a basically white school. These incidents and behavior of shunning Junior by the tribe lead to some people believing that Junior was infact a traitor if his people considered him to have abandon his tribe over the stronger white people in their eyes. A overall definition of abandoning a person, place, and any other possession is leaving the say possession completely and never returning to the possession. Clearly, in the novel, Junior stayed in the reservation. Junior never left the reservation to live outside the reservation with white people, not physically abandoned the reservation. Going on a more indirect definition of abandonment involving culture, abandonment means in this term means to completely leave one culture to assicurate oneself in another culture. Junior, however, was both Native American and White when starting to build friendships in Reardan. The novel states that junior felt he was Native American at the reservation with his family and felt white at Reardan with his friends at the school. He was experiencing two cultures, not abandoning his native culture as he learns of a new culture.

Junior began to pave a path at Reardan to avoid being emotional forced to give up due to the suppressing surroundings of Wellpinit in which mostly everyone had given up on life. Junior slowly endures the beginning struggles of change from ignorant teachers of his native traditions to being singled out discriminately. He later becomes part of the school and for the first time in his life be accepted by the community, not just his family. Junior’s tribe never took him seriously and he was always ignored unless being bullied and it can be assumed he had been enduring this sense of ignorance for many years. In Reardan, Junior suddenly was part of a community when dating Penelope. He was acknowledged by the people, even if it was theorized by him just because of his relations with Penelope. Junior was accepted by the Reardan community, yet he never let go of his native home. He stayed, he continued to try to reconnect to his former friend Rowdy who hated him but slowly forgiving him. In the last chapter, Talking About Little Turtles, Junior mentally proclaims how he thought of his home as surprisingly pretty when he view the reservation from the large tree. On the last page of the chapter, page 230, Junior remarks on how he would love his home and wishes for his people to forgive him. The feelings that show Junior never had abandoned his tribe and home.

Week Blog Review (Week 7)

Week Blog Review (Week 7)

This week was a pretty average week until the last three days of the school week. The week was an fine week with the completion of two assignments not due until the next day, my first time of this year trying to do assignment in advance to be able to focus on my club and maybe use extra time in constructing the  most efficient schedule. Yes, I am still struggling with creating the schedule after two weeks, but I may have found the beginning foundation of the schedule. Back to my week, nothing big happen until the half of this week, the first half being calm and easy days that I got through easily more or less. The other half was bit of a struggle as I was given a project from my Driver's Ed teacher and still haven't completed the project from my English class. Now I have two project to do with both projects' due dates near the same dates. Worse that the day I chose my assignment, I had to change the day after because it was impossible to do the project within a week. What type of teacher have two project options that are impossible to do! In my opinion, I think my Drivers' Ed teacher just took those projects options from the internet as there the two projects were  going to a Traffic Court to take notes on the case, or writing down details of what happen when you got into a serious accident. The traffic court is impossible to do because traffic courts are only open during weekday and the serious accident is impossible if you never got into a serious accident. Thursday was a normal day and Friday was my brothers' school vs. my school. The only time I go to my school's game to see how my brothers' team go against my school. I was cheering for my brothers' team because I chose Family over my school when it comes to competitions, even if my brother team lose. It was the first time ever seeing the school's football team against an opponent and even my brother admitted that my team was strong. They did got a touchdown only 40 seconds left in the game, a small yet important victory even if they lost the game. Overall, the worse part of the week is the drivers' ed project and the best part is reading my poem to my English class.

Week Blog Review (Week 6)

Week Blog Review-Week 6

This week had been average for the most parts and the beginning steps of a more productive me. Only if I could stop my laziness from taking over every time I done with my homework (yes, I personified laziness). The entire week was a bit strange due to Monday being Columbus day, PSAT testing and that this week's Thursday was the third Thursday of the month and therefore students get out early. Monday was Columbus day and I had no school that day, I did no studying at all. Tuesday was a normal day with the usual schedule and the day of the ACS club's first meeting of the year. Unfortunately, the teacher leader of the club was sick over the weekend and could not send my letter to the new members of our club to the new members as I don't have their emails. Only one new member came to the club and it was one of my best friends who I told about the club and its missions. Despite only the president, vice-president, my best friend and me (Secretary of the club) came to the meeting, we did reach much ground for the future of the club. Wednesday was PSAT testing day for sophomores and juniors from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. I can't say any details about the test as that illegal to do, but I can say I think I did very good on the test except for math; I failed the math section badly and only because I did not know you could write in the booklet like scratch paper. The rest of the day was very short with fifteen minute classes. Thursday was a half-day that was not particularly strange, I did well in all my classes for the most part this week with no problems. I only had to go to my piano class during my lunch period to learn my mistake on an assignment on tetrachords, which was not placing the notes correctly in the right places. I can't remember many exciting or over-the-top events that happen this week, making this week the most average week thus far despite three days being very different from normal days. I am very excited for this Saturday and Sunday as I have three occasions to attend. This Saturday my club will be doing a presentation in Spectral lines and later in the day I will be going to Home Run Inn with my family. Sunday I will be attending Open House to play songs I learn in piano for visitors in my piano class. Hopefully, everything goes great tomorrow and Sunday.

Week Blog Review (Week 5)

Week Review Blog (Week 5)

This week have begin the my struggle for finding a better schedule that would allow me time to myself as well as enough time for homework and studying time for school. Monday was the first day I used my schedule journal, which will act similar to my assignment book, but must bigger to write more notes and tasks I need to do each day. Onto my days, Monday was a good day with only a few minor situations that made me felt a little stress, but I felt that I overcame both situations. The situation was simply two tests and an assignment for my Drivers' Instruction class that I study only a little for because of my laziness. Monday was also the first day of spirit week! Monday was Pajama Day and I forgot my pajama pants, which made me felt a little out of place with the many students who was walking with their pajamas on. Tuesday was the best day out of the five school days as I learnt how to finally not panic and try to solve the problem. On Tuesday, I finished my sign before my first class and realizing that I now understand the difference between of completing an assignment normally and completing an assignment in flying colors. I would have turn in my sign only white and black if I had not made this realization, so I color the sign yellow to complete the sign. When I enter my P.E class, many of my classmates had signs having similar lengths and width I do, another concern I had. I also found out on Tuesday that I had a C in English and a sixty-two on a binder check for Piano; I settled both matters on the same day. In addition of finding out my mistake for the binder check, I learn how to play the G, D and A scales for piano. Wednesday was Way Back Wednesday in which I took a 2000's look to have a little school spirit for the week, but no one pointed out the era of my clothes. Wednesday was not eventful, a fairly normal day really. Thursday is the worse of the five days as I failed my Spanish oral presentation 3rd period. The assignment was to tell the class in Spanish the number of clubs you are in, if you are in any sports team and what do you do as a hobby in 45 seconds. I only was able to tell the class that I was in three clubs and that I was occupy with the ACS club to go to the other two clubs. It was very embarrassing. The rest of the day went fine, and I calm down about the failure by 5th period. Not that I was visually upset or raging, I was just a bit crushed inside and calm down by 5th period.  Friday was Pep Rally and Homecoming Game day, which I wore a orange flower shirt instead of my school shirt, again felt left out. The Pep Rally was great and the rest of the day was great as well.
