Class is going great

So far I am really enjoying class. The concepts discussed in the Socratic Seminar are very intriguing because we are discussing things that pertain to real teen life. We talk about subjects like social media, and how they impact today's genreation and society. The great thing is we get both ends of the spectrum so there is no bias. It ties in well with the themes in Farenheit 451 of letting media and things we see that have power over what we think. By seeing both extremes of the spectrum, we are able to make our own opinions. I believe Ray Bradbury's purpose in writing this book was to have the current and future generations examine their own views and values, and whether or not they were shaped by media. I feel that Ms. Hegeman and Ms. Gilpin have done a good job in spear-heading the discussions, prompting us to think outside of the box reflecting on ourselves.

My Passion

I am passionate about my education. My family comes from a strong educational background and I feel like I have to live up to that. I really like all of my classes this year. I especially like my science classes along with my math classes. My science teacher expects a lot out of all of her students. It is good even though she is very strict, she also has a unique teaching style. I learn a lot in her class because she outlines the whole year's coursework up front. Therefore, if you want to read ahead, you can, just so you don't get surprised by any material. Another one of my good teachers is my history teacher. She is very upfront with all of her students about what is expected of them. She also gives her own perspective on what she has to go through, telling us her point of view. That makes the students respect her more and work harder for her by seeing what she has to go through as a teacher.  I plan on going to college and not only getting my undergraduates but also a masters.

Intro

Hello, I'm V. I like to participate in athletics. I like football, basketball, and baseball. I like to read and watch T.V. and listen to music, especially the fire that BGuap be spitting. I was like oh shoot, this sounds professional when I heard it. There were some songs that were not good, and I let him know. However, there are at least 3 of his songs that I always have on replay. The beats are good too, especially the original ones. The crazy thing is that it's catching on around school. Every time I'm in the hall I hear his songs being sung by one of the students. I really think he has a good shot at making it.
