The first two weeks of my junior year have been both busy and productive! In the first week, I easily found my homeroom and also helped my little sister find hers as well. With her being a freshman this year, I had worries dealing with her fitting in. To my relief she seamlessly blended in and even found a couple of friends. When the instructional day began, I was met with many demanding AP classes that motivated me to pass with all A's. I also noticed that my friends were in a number of my classes including my lunch wave. I found this especially pleasing, knowing that I can easily partner up with a study partner when most necessary. In addition to in-school activities, I also managed to schedule out my study time despite having band practice on a daily basis. This is a very productive step in the right direction seeing that in order to pass AP classes I must obtain a high level of responsibility and self-sufficiency. My first two weeks were a great start to an even greater year!

Reflection- Letter 47 Here, Celie first reveals out loud what had happened to her in the first chapters of the book between her and Pa. She describes it in greater detail than the first page had, considering she was older and understood what happened better. Celie also made love with Shug that same night. This leads readers to believe that Shug may have taken advantage of Celie for her own personal gain. However, readers may also consider that Celie and Shug were caught in a moment of passion and emotion. Either way this event is explained, it is very apparent that Shug and Celie now share a sexual relationship. Weekend Journal: Today felt nice and free. I usually don't have my weekends free, but today I was off from work. My church van picked me up and I was able to come to church and see all my friends there as well. In addition I sung with the choir and although I know I shouldn't, I laughed a bit at how rusty they sounded. I also found it funny that I didn't know th...

     Technology does not distract students. Many online educational online videos such as Kahn Academy help students get the help that they need in certain classes. Students can receive help from the internet and score higher on tests because of technology. There are also certain programs like Remind that allows teachers to contact students via group message. This way students can receive personal help on at-home assignments and ask the teacher questions after instructional school time. Individuals may say that technology has too many social sites and new propaganda that can distract children. However, there are many time management apps that keep individuals locked out of social sites so that they can use their devices to further their personal education. Technology is a contribution to the advancement of more efficient teaching and learning.

Reflection 4- Letter 10 In this letter, Celie he's absolutely sure that she sees one of her children. She follows their mother and has a nice conversation with her. This is one of the first times that we see her genuinely happy and enjoying herself. Celie asks subtle questions about the child, hinting that she was really her birth mother, joyful knowing that her child was not dead. However, all of her fun and games are cut short when Mr. ____ comes back outside from the store and asks Celie why she was "laughing like a fool." This is the first solid hint that Mr. _____ mistreated Celie just as Fonso had. He only saw Celie as nothing more than a servant to him. Journal Entry #4: Today, I practiced my solo with Mr. Frye today and my classmates cheered me on.  It made me feel good for a little while, but I still think I have so much more to improve on. I'm really putting the effort and emotion into this song as much as it requires from me. Whenever I have down time...
