Emerson

So far I have been reading Emerson it is not easy to understand but I am trying my best to find out what some words mean for example what does it mean when he talks about self trust and what does it actually mean?

AUTHOR IN PROGRESS

I think that I understood the topic and the main idea of the writing. It wasn't easy to understand because I felt that it wasn't at my reading level but I tried my best. I could have worked on some words and understanding the meanings and purpose of why he wrote it.

MAPPING MY MIND

I am still learning how to use the page. It is confusing because people add whatever. I was just adding ideas and definitions on the parts that people forgot to add something.

My experience on the PSAT

I felt like the PSAT took forever, but it was good because it a practice for the real SAT. Some people didn't take it and my head i was like "Don't you guys think about your future." For me the PSAT was easy except for the reading part where you have to go back and look for evidence.

My American Voice

I think that a good time to speak up is standing up for someone that is being treated bad or friends talking on their backs. I call it responsibility because each of us have a responsibility of talking care of one an other and treating each other with care. Yes I do speak up, but sometimes it depends on the situation. If the fighting is strong I will go look for an adult but if there is not fighting involved and only words I do because everyone need to respect one another. No, I will never speak up if I see a girl cheating on her boyfriend or a guy cheating on their girlfriend because I think that it is their relationship and I should not get involved. Also, I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Yes I do I tell them, I tell them to calm down and think before speaking. When I speak up I speak up kindly because I don't want to make the problem bigger.

"How to host....."

• Many people have their own way of doing something.
• Some people work better by communicating with other people and other people work better by themselves.
• Some people thing that it is better to communicate by using the web and just messaging online.
• They don't care if the person is real all they care is that they have someone to communicate with on the web.
• A host has many meanings like a party or just in your memory.

Letter

Dear psychiatrist,
                I have a question an I am pretty sure that you could help me solve it. Why do people fight and why can't they control their anger? I have the question and sometimes I don't understand why it happens. I think that you are the right person to ask and I know that you could help me figure out the answer to this question. Sometimes I think that people fight because the cant control their anger. What can they do to control their anger?

Sincerely,

Ofelia Marin
