Describe a time when you felt completely lost

 I remember when I was told my friend lost his battle against cancer, I felt lost. I didn't know for a month since he lived in another state and I just thought he was busy with life and school. I wasn't aware he had cancer but I do remember getting upset and mad at him since he wouldn't answer me as frequently anymore. When I was told after a month later that he had cancer and passed away, I felt lost. His sister reached out to me on September 7, 2022 and told me what his final words were to me. I remember crying and not being able to talk about it to my parents since he was a boy and my parents didn't like me talking to boys even as friends. Also didn't help he was from another state. I couldn't talk to anybody about it,I felt completely alone and lost.

Today in class we just worked on our one pager and was given a vocabulary sheet we have to work on. I learned how I was able to have a personal connection with the story. It impacted me by making me realize that soldiers suffer everyday with internal conflicts about what they had to do in war.

 I look forward to Christmas each year. I love Christmas because that's when I have winter break and get gifts. I am able to see my family that lives out of state and spend more time with my dog,Leo. Plus I get to sleep in and enjoy all the sweet treats. I love the memories I am able to make during Christmas. Finished up sensory presentation. I learned that I need more glasses than I realize. My dog, Leo is my entire world and that he's my everything.

It's Super Bowl weekend! Some people watch the Super Bowl for football, others for the commercials, and some just for the halftime show. What’s your favorite part of big events like this, and why?

 My favorite is the half time show since I personally am not into sports that much. I love watching the performances and how unique they get. Or when they sing a song that I haven't heard in a while. I also like when it's a surprise and you don't know what songs are playing. Overall, I am excited and ready to annoy my parents. We took a test and worked on missing assignments.

What do you think are your biggest strengths as a speaker? What challenges do you face when presenting in front of an audience?

 My biggest strength as a speaker is not feeling embarrassed to speak in front of others. I can speak clearly and loudly for those in the back to hear. I do face some challenges, I tend to overthink and get nervous since I don't want to mess up or stutter. I forget some information or when it's a signed topic and I don't know it well enough, I tend to try to make it up. I also don't like always being the only one speaking when it comes to a group project since it feels like everything is on me when it comes to speaking. People presented their projects.
