April 27th: Prompt: Reflect on your research topic and identify the most compelling issue connected to it. Clearly explain what the issue is and discuss why you find it particularly interesting or important. Support your response with specific details from your research.

 The most compelling issue I found while researching the effects of plastic surgery on mental health is how it can both help and hurt someone’s self image depending on their mindset going in. On one hand, some people report increased confidence and satisfaction after procedures, especially if they were fixing something that genuinely bothered them for a long time. But a lot of research shows that if someone already struggles with things like body dysmorphia or low self esteem, surgery does not fix the root problem and can sometimes make it worse, leading to repeated procedures or even more dissatisfaction. I think this is really important because it shows that plastic surgery is not just a physical decision, it is closely connected to mental health, and without dealing with that first, the results might not turn out the way people expect.

Summary: Im not sure what we did in class since we had class for 2 days this week and I was not there.

Reflection: My mom had car trouble and I had to go and get her and take care of her car. I'm sorry I wasn't there but there was nithing I could do to avoid this.

In “Birches,” Robert Frost celebrates imagination as a way to escape life’s difficulties and reconnect with innocence. The speaker wishes to “get away from earth awhile” but also understands that he must eventually return to reality. Think about the role of imagination in your own life. How does imagination help you cope with challenges, boredom, or stress?

Imagination helps cope with boredom because you can think of almost anything you want. For instance  Honestly, imagination is no help with stress. Say you have work to do that your teacher didn't give you time to do class work in class, now you can imagine everything else you could be doing or what you missing out on. I feel like imagination just adds to stress most of the time. Summary. We read and annotated the poem "Birches" by Robert Frost. After we read the poem, we were introduced to a project that we have to start that goes along with the poem we read. We started working on the poem and  Reflection. The poem was interesting, I  liked the poem but I thought "Out Out" was much more engaging. I really like how we annotate the poems together as a class, since it help me stay engaged.

Everyone has burning questions about life. Mysteries we wonder about but don’t always have clear answers for. Think about your biggest questions about existence, purpose, or the world around you. Write a blog post where you share at least two of your most burning questions about life and explain why these questions matter to you.

 Prompt: One question I've had for a while is why are instruments SO expensive. I get that it's a niche market, but that isn't an excuse for pieces of brass to cost thousands of dollars. For example, a brand new Yamaha Xeno (trumpet) would cost you around 3400$. My second question is why schools don't teach us essential skills we need in life  such as: writing checks, filing taxes, job hunting, and financial literacy.  Summary: I stayed home because I was sick. I worked on some assignments for a couple classes Reflection: I got a lot done but not nearly as much as I would have liked, but I should hopefully be at school on Wednesday

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...
