Jan 9th: Prompt: Describe a time when you took a hiatus from something important. What led to the break, and how did it impact you?

I took a short break from practicing trumpet during marching band season because I was overwhelmed with school and tired after long rehearsals. At first, I thought missing a few days wouldn’t matter, but I quickly noticed my range and endurance getting worse. That made me realize how important consistent practice is, and it pushed me to manage my time better so I could keep improving without burning out.

Summary: we looked at literary devices and how to use them

Prompt: Write about a truth you were afraid to accept.

 One truth I was afraid to accept was when my cat Gris died last year. I was playing video games with friends when I noticed Gris breathing really heavy and panting, so I called my mom downstairs. She took him to an emergency vet. He was put down around two that morning. Summarry: We went over agument notes Reflection: I took notes.

Write about what you did over thanksgiving break.

 During the break I went to Charleston to visit my sister (she goes to college of Charleston) and take her home for thanksgiving.  I also went ice skating for the fist time, which was horrible. I drove up to a junkyard in Augusta which was about two and a half hours away. I pulled a fender and bumper filler for my truck and got 40% off since they were having a blackfriday sale. On the way back, I figured out how many miles to the gallon i was getting, and highway driving 9.5 mph, which is pretty horrible but the truck does have an exaughst manifold leak which can cause the truck to eat gas. I should hopefully get it fixed soon. I would fix it myself but older fords are known for studs holding the manifold on to snap, and I dont have the tools to get them out, so I'd rather pay teh money for someone else to do it. Summary: We worked on vocab lesson 5 Reflection: Im happy I was able to get everything done and have time left to do my blog post

4 Goals for 2026 Jan 6th 2026

The first goal I would like to achieve in 2026 is being able to reach a double  g  above the staff in the stands at football games.  This goal is important to me because range is important to  me  and the more range that I develop opens me to more  opportunities  such as lead trumpet in a jazz band.   To achieve my goal, I need to practice long tones at different dynamics and gradually work my way from around a c above the staff to a double g, and do this every day. I hope to reach my goal by the start of football season  my  senior year. The second goal I would like to achieve in 2026 is scoring 1200 or above on the SAT.  This goal is important to me since a better SAT score opens more opportunities for scholarships.  To achieve my goal, I will have to study, prepare, and hopefully take a class that teaches  to  the SAT. I would like to score at least 1200 on the June  SAT The third goal I have for 2026 is to pa...
