 Acknowledgment As senior year approaches the end, we will be on the new journey of starting adult life in a few days.  I can't believe that exactly 7 years ago I was sitting in the kitchen in Ukraine finding out that i was moving to America. The young me who didn't know what to expect from a big country and new language.  I want to acknowledge my fifth-grade teacher of my first American elementary school, Mrs Secor (i need to learn how to spell her name the memory needs to be clarified. I want to thank her for making me feel welcome in her classroom even though it was for a short amount of time, I want to thank every classmate of mine who wrote me a letter about each of them so when I came to the school I was more familiar with them. I want to thank my old neighbors who spoke the same language as me and never made me feel alone. I want to thank my parents at that time who made me read alot of books and translate them over and over until I could speak fluently.  As we move to M

I wish I knew this earlier

 Things I wish I learned earlier about myself.  Things that I wish I had known earlier and wish I had done before to prevent where I am right now.  You have the feeling that you are stuck and you don't know what you want, you don't know what you are made for, well this is the feeling I have had for now a while. I know this blog should be like Oh wow look what I have learned and stuff like that, but the thing I only learned one thing, I don't know what I want.  I am very confused all I know is that I have learned math physics and everything and it's been great. I also have learned something about myself. I have learned that I love pottery it's very relaxing I enjoy putting my phone down and just relaxing while trying to make a shape out of clay, It is a very relaxing process it's like meditation you don't have to worry about social media or anything else. For 1 straight hour, you just work with clay, and it's a great way to think about something else that

10 books i want to read in 10 years

 books  10 Books I want to read in the next decade :) Some books are mostly thrillers and horror stories. I am also very excited because some of the books I am waiting to read and now I have a goal for the next 10 years to read something new, most also are fictional stories.  1. So this book caught my attention when I was googling "top ten thriller books of 2023".  The Butterfly  Garden by Dot Hutchison caught my attention with its interesting cover and description, it's a thriller and mystery, about how the FBI agents uncover this garden with interesting "specimens" in it, and how the story uncovers as they explore more. I like these types of books because they keep me on edge and I always like to watch these types of books now I want to be able to read this and imagine the situation. Overall I really hope to read it soon.  2. The book The Things We Cannot Say by Kelly Rimmer caught my attention  with its description and the setting of the story, its like what

Experiencing Poetry

 Experiencing poetry  Never thought that anyone would catch me saying that I would enjoy experiencing poerty at the beginning of each English class. But I do.  It's such a unique way to feel the poem anew. It's different from reading it on your own where your own little ways decide where to boom and where to quiet down, where to add apostrophes and where to not, whether the poem has a deeper meaning or I am just interpreting it incorrectly. It is easier when you can see someone actually perform the poem talk about it put emotions in it, It definitely hits how powerful the poems can be, how strong and mighty the words can feel, and the expressions of the speaker can give me goosebumps. I enjoyed the analysis of the poems and listening to how the person finds the meaning and relates to it, even though his voice is too calm sometimes he opens my eyes and my brain to a new meaning of the poem. I never thought that poetry could be animated, or cartoonish, I always thought of it as a

Look into my eyes - poem I guess

 Look into my eyes - by me The idea behind this poem was to not just experience poems but also show how people can miss something  Look into my eyes See them from the angle  from different points of you  They are deep, and they can speak They speak the truth we try to hide  So blue just like we are inside  My eyes are blue just like the ocean   The deepest creatures lurk beneath with Hidden Soul of secrets trapped from you to see As I Smile my eyes glisten to remind you of the ocean you are missing  But before you walk away unbothered  look into my eyes again  Explanation  We all have something that we don't show. We all have different struggles, experiences, and ways to hide secrets. The poem depicts that sometimes looking at people's eyes you can tell that the person may have lost their spark or something is happening and sometimes you can't see that unless you really look at someone's eyes. Sometimes people want people to look into their eyes as a cry for help.  Some

Progress check

 Woohoo second semester!! Woohoo 114 days left of being a senior... It feels like it was just yesterday that I started my final year in high school, yet after each day passes we are getting closer and closer to graduation.  In just a few months I will turn 18 and teenage life will creep into adulthood as college gets closer.  That thought has been sitting at the back of my mind and every time it pops up I realize how close that idea is to becoming my new reality. It's scary. I don't blame anyone anxious to start their life anew.  The truth is that we are not the same people we were at the beginning of the year, i am even saying we are not even the same as 4 years ago. In the time that has passed, I will focus on the changes that have been made during the first semester of this year. The beginning of the first semester was stressful. Letter of recomandiotns and letters that you have to complete before the first deadline. It's hard really to focus on other things like school

Why I don't like Tragedy.

 Why I don't like Tragedy.  I can with ease say that I don't like tragedy.  In any way.  Perhaps I might elaborate that i don't like Shakespeare's tragedies.  English class after English class, play after play, I more and more realize that tragedies are not for me. After reading Romeo and Juliet I realized that if all play was based on both delulu people who in the end die because of the lack of communication then I dont want to read it. But every year we revisit the world of Shakespeare and his wonderful tragedies to analyze people like the tragedy of  Othello, Romeo and Juliet, and many more.  So, what exactly I do not like about these plays.  Why are they all based on love? Who broke Shakespeare's heart and made him a monster who would kill couples brutally. One choked his wife because of his honor and then proceeded to stab himself, and two delulu teenagers drank poison because they were so in love. But every play we read was based on the love and betrayal of a
