Journal Entree ( Mon 31st- Sun 6th)

Q: What do you want to learn today? Who do you want to be?

A: I want to learn today is how far I progressed. I can only go as far to judge myself on how hard I pushed my self. Self criticism can only get you so far. I need to know how other people view me. I Feel like I could use a boost. I want to know if the direction I am headed to is good or bad. but I guess that would be difficult to do because they'll probably say that's something I could only answer. Who I want to be? Well before if you had asked me this I would of said I want to be a engineer or baker. But now I want to be someone who can inspirer people.

Q:Describe something you considered in a different way this semester as a result of our conversation.

A: The way I view authors is so different now. Before I thought writing books was easy and you can make it up. Most of the time or authors that's correct. but now I know that's its hard to write a book. There is so much that goes into writing and publishing a book. you got to do figure out what kind of plot you want it to be. Also the characters and how you are going to want them developed into. Or even what kind of state in mind they are. There so much that goes into making a book.

Q:Why do you think California is so legendary to so many people around the world?

A: Well for starters its right next to the pacific ocean so it has the best beaches. I think that's why a lot of people have interest in California. Also that's why celebrities' and directors choose Los Angles which is in California. Also there are some very interesting places here. I think what happened was the directors liked filming here so they moved here. Also celebrity's want to be in the most popular area so they came here. In California there are dozens of beaches. So now that all the celebrities' are here and moves are shot here people want to she the places up close.

We have Ignition

So when I gave my Ignite speech I was super nervous. Im good at giving speeches in front of big crowd or in general. But Mr. Preston said that its okay to nervous and anxious. It's common for people to feel like that. Which I helped me. But also I was amazed on how confident some of the others were. Like gabby she spoke with confidant and little stutter Awesome. Also Narciso he had all things he wanted to say ready. He came prepared and said what he needed to say. Even Gitzel she was the first one up. Even though she was nervous like me she did good. She got all of her main points out there. In all I think everyone did good.

Journals ( Mon 17th - Sun 23th )

Q: What's on your mind today?

A: Well there's not much. My master piece is really all I think about now. Im in a pickle on How I want the emperor to look . Also how I want each character to act and what personality to give them. Also I need to figure out on how to inquorate the north and south war in the story. I want this war in there because it one of my favorites. I like the history behind this war. But I also need to choose what dishes I want to be the main meal of the story. The story changed a little bit but not a lot. This just means it will take longer to finish writing the book.

Q: How do you know you have truly completed something?

A: Well when it comes to chores usually if I am done and my mom dose not yell at me the that means I did a good job and I am done. My mother is very picky on how something is done or put away. I guess you can say she has OCD. But When It comes to my work I am always second judging my work. So I guess when I feel like something is done when I feel satisficed. But For me to feel satisficed I would have to keep redo it. I expect more out of my self so if I am not happy with something I will keep doing it until I like it.

Q: What insight would you give someone wanting to join open source learning academy in 2021-22?

A: For starters this class is supposed to be fun. You are supposed to enjoy the work you do. But I would also say that this class like an honors system. The teacher trust that you do your work. That you are writing in your journals and that you are working on your masterpiece. This class takes courage because we still are in the begin stages of this program. There's not much data on this class and how much it will help you. But I don't know that Mr. Preston will do his best to help you achieve your goal.

Keeping an open mind

So today in class we talk all lot about different things. Mostly it was about Mr. Preston. We got to know a lot about him. But one thing that caught my eye was regret. The teacher said something along the lines of now that's its the end of the school year you really starts to finish things up. You don't want to limit your creativity. Because you don't want to look back that this time and say oh I could've done this or that. When the teacher said that it really stuck with me. Because I do not want to start something and not finish it. So what I got today was encouragement to finish what I started no matter how long it takes me because. Success doesn't happen over night. It is nurtured and worked for. So when I am done I can have that feeling like yes I did this. That what I want to feel like when I done with my masterpiece.

Building the perfect beast

So sense my book has to do with princes. They must get some sort of education. So what I am planning to do is connect my PPC with the boys education. That way I can set the PPC and also give them some sort of education.
