Today was the last day to complete missing assignments. I spent the class period working on my final projects and missing assignments as per usual. After the class period was over we went to 3rd period and then lunch. I brought my crab cakes too school and they were really good. Though the taste seemed a bit off/faded out because they have been sitting in the fridge for almost 2(?) weeks because I forgot about them. It's a good thing that I brought food to school to warm up because I won't be eating much at home since our microwave almost caught on fire/stopped working right this morning. I hope it can get fixed soon.
Today we read two articles about college student loans. I learnt one ways you can avoid student loans are by taking community college. If it is really necessary that you have to take a student loan, you should get one that you know you will be able to pay off so that you won't be in debt forever. Student loans affect graduates in many ways. It can prevent them from getting a house, take away from their paycheck, and more consequences.
Today in class we watched a film called "The Last 3 Minutes" for our bellringer. It was about a guy who was dying and seeing moments of his life flash before his eyes. After watching the video, we were asked to answer the question: "What is the purpose of life?" In my response I said the purpose of life was to enjoy it. We also started a new poem called "I, Too" by Langston Hughes. It was about him using situations and metaphors to describe the discrimination he faces in life, and when he ended the poem with "I too, am America." he meant that he hoped to be seen as an American and/or person of equal worth as everyone else in the way the people who live there are.
