Today was a good notes day. Instead of taking notes off the PowerPoint slide we did individual notes about our country we were assigned. We were split into continents. My phone is broke and the replacement is coming and I had to borrow my classmates phone. After I got done doing that we compared and contrasted the different countries within the continent. I liked class today.
Today in Mr. Rease we took another test. The stuff was still confusing but I preserved and know I did better than last quiz. After the test we were introduced to our project on a country. My country is The Netherlands. We also have a essay to write on Valentine’s Day. What a time to be alive.
The Voice for The Voiceless Today in Mr. Rease we had analyzed an AP prompt about  
The Most Hateful Word Today since more than half of our class was absent due to celebrating being inducted the NHS, we discussed and analyzed the N-word. We dsicussed the origin, why people used/use it and more. We came to the conclusion why do black people still use the word that white people used to deteriorate us with. This was discussed with other southern slang used to address people of color. I learned history I dint know and phrases I never heard. Also there was a debate on was this the strongest word in the English language, I said no because Jesus is the strongest word in any language. Today was actually interesting in Mr. Rease class.
Super Bowl Aftermath Today in Mr. Rease Class we only had six students. I later found out this was due some sort of Act practice. We discussed an old AP prompt about do difficult moments bring out our talents. We all choose yes, but I personally felt like it's not. Mr. Rease was elated due to Chiefs triumph over the 49ers. Since we only had less than half the class we had discussed that  then we had the rest of the class off.
Today in Mr.Rease class we watched the short film ,”Dear Basketball.” This was after Kobe was confirmed dead. We discussed it in class and this made me want to walk out of class. Not because I was finna cry or anything but because Ian feel like hearing this and wanted to wake up from this nightmare immediately.
Today in 4th block we continued talking about the relationship between certainty and doubt and in order to give us an example, Mr.Rease showed us a Dwayne Johnson video of him coming up to stardom. His story was appealing due to the fact that he said he keeps his bad things that happen to him in the front of mind during an important event so he can,”Remember where he came from.” I found this interesting and he also talked about him playing in the CFL and he thought he was going to go pro. He also talked about all he had was $7 in his pocket. He then talked about leaving WWE when he was on the top of the franchise how he thought that was a big mistake. He then talked about his upcoming and his effort to be the hardest worker. This made me feel like I maybe need to apply my self harder just sliding by.
