Passionate Blog

What I am passionate about ? When you think about the word passionate the first thin that comes to mind is something you have deep love for it and from that definition one person I am passionate about my nephew . My nephew name is Aiden and he is like the best baby in the world . I love that little boy so much ; I kept him as my home screen so if I'm having a bad day I look at his picture and he puts a smile on my face . When I look at him I just want him to have the perfect life , I don't want him to have to struggle or go through anything in his life . 

I see how children are growing up now and I'm scared for Aiden to grow up . He already got two little teeth at the bottom of his tiny mouth and I was bought to have a heart attack . Looking at him every day motivates me and pushes me . I wanna be a role model for him because I'm the youngest of my mother children and I didn't really have nobody looking up to me . I want to be the cool but strict aunt. I want to help him solve problems and go through it with him . I want him to enjoy his life , be his own person and not struggle . Is that impossible ? I hope not .

Class Write

AP Literature , what a class ! I not going to lie the first week of this class and I was ready to drop the class . I was in AP English and Composition last year and I thought this class was going to be similar , was I wrong . Ms.Hegeman is a good teacher but the work can be crazy sometimes . For example , the first week of school we did a nuts and bolts worksheet , where we defined different literary terms , that part was easy . Then we started to get tested on the pages individually . Those test are annoying and kind of hard for the simple fact that some of the definitions on the test don't be the same definitions I study for . 

Another thing , that Summer homework was ridiculous . I understand we need to learn more about poetry  , how to read and understand it , but seriously ? First , it is an unrealistic goal to want children , that don't even read poetry  , to write a 500 word reflective analysis for 5 poems all by different poets . Like why do you think we could do that ? 500 of our own words ? That's like impossible ; some of the poems were harder than others . Yes , might understand some of the poem but we have to research information in order to reach that limit . Then its like when you write the teacher wants to hear " your voice " when they're reading but then but a limit on it . I liked paraphrasing and doing TPCASTT that was the more easier part because it's what you think . How you look at and interpret things ; that is when students want to do things . But overall I enjoy my AP Literature class and can't wait to learn more things .
