Well I have come to the end of my senior year and my high school journey. I can say that I have learned so much this whole entire year, especially in the inquiry projects. This week that just passed by I got to present about Autism. I hope my classmates learned that it's no easy to live with autism. I wasn't nervous and that made me see the difference from when I first presented at HTHI. I pretty much was confident in knowing what I was going to say. For my intersession I'm in Jeremy's but I was asked by my mentor for my volunteership if I could go and intern with SBCS. I don't know if I can do this because I think it's too late but it never hurts to try.

2 More Weeks

Well what can I say I been working really hard this week. On Monday I was able to go to Biola and pay the deposit to secure my spot and I got to take my picture ID. Then I came to school on Tuesday and noticed that the abstract was due on Wednesday night. I had not started it and the only thing I had was the two annotated bibliographies of my first two books. I started freaking out and I began to write during class and at home. I really thought I wasn't going to be able to finish it but I really did have enough time and I finished it. The only thing that I didn't put on abstract was the annotation of my third additional source. I also forgot to put my essays on my project page but I hope that won't take a lot of points off of my grade. Another thing that was added to all the work I had to get done was finishing my third book. Before my grandpa passed away I was working really hard on the project and I got a lot of things done. But since we came back from Mexico my house is full with people so I get distracted easily even though I try my best to concentrate. I'm happy that everything is almost over. Hopefully everything comes out fine in my presentation.

Project Time

I got my third book. I will be reading How Can I Talk If My Lips Don't Move? By Tito Rajarshi Mukhopadhyay. This book is full of many little stories that Tito wrote about himself. By reading his adventures I will be able to see how Tito's life is like. I have read the first couple of pages and it's pretty good, because what I'm reading comes straight from his head. I'm almost done with my project page and its due on Monday. Also I have to start my abstract because it's due on Wednesday hopefully I finish it quick. I basically have so many things to do first is to finish my book so then I can do my abstract and wrap up my project page. I really don't want to get in the stage of stressing out because it's not good; I'm trying my best to do a lot but slowly.

Half Working Half Sad

The first half of this week I was working really hard getting all my project things together, but then my grandpa died. I haven't done no school homework this is the first thing I'm doing because I wasn't able to write a blog on Friday since I left to Mexico. This has been one of the worst experiences I have ever been through but it has also made me strong and want to keep going forward and make my mom and grandpa happy. If I can remember I never got my third book so I haven't been able to read that but I did got some articles that Stephanie, I forgot her last name but she works with Anthony, gave to Stephanie our teacher. I haven't been able to take a look at them but I will asap so the articles can be added to additional resources. I know I'm really behind I'm going to try my best to keep working on this project and at the same time being there for my mom because it's been really hard for her. I thank all my teachers for understanding my situation and I'm looking forward to see you guys tomorrow.

Back to School

Well during this week we got to finish our work for the Twelfth Night project. I got to work with Shanynthia we got to create a children book about a couple of scenes. The book covers Act 1, scenes 2, 4, the end of 5 when Viola comes in, and Act 2 Scene 2. The text is still the same from the play. I enjoyed coloring and drawing the pictures in the way I see them in my head. Today we got to see the presentations of my classmates as well. I have to say that Sam's made my day it was really funny. I also liked the visual presentation of Alex. We didn't get to see everybody's but we will when we get back. Also I need to get back to working on my inquiry project during spring break my mentor from volunteership told me about a show called Jenks World something like that I don't quite remember. The show is made by a guy named Andrew Jenks and every week he tries to spent time with people to get to know how their daily life is like. When I heard that he has done an episode of an autistic guy I went ahead and watched the episode and it was the perfect show ever for my project, because he was answering the question that I'm looking for. I feel really good about the answers that I have gotten. I'm not sure what book I'm reading next but that decision has to be made asap.

Last Week!

Well this week went by really quick. I finished my second book and we got to write our second essay, which I enjoyed writing. The ending of the book was really good I really liked in it in general. I got to find more answers to my question which is what is life like as an autistic person? I feel that this book was done to answer my question and I'm happy I got to find this book and read it. I would like to know more about Autistic people, so if you guys know anything about it please let me know. Something else about English class is that we are working on a project from the play we just read, "Twelfth Night." I'm still lost about whose group I'm going to be in, but I would like to work on what Marisol is doing. I don't know how our class final product will be like, but I have a feeling it will be great. Now I have a spring break to look forward too. I think we all deserve this break because we have been working really hard in every class. We are almost going to be done, so we can hold on a little bit more. People get a lot of rest before we have to come back again:)

Finished Twelfth Night

We finished "Twelfth Night" and I loved the ending. I actually had a feeling it was going to end like a fairy tale where everything goes to its place, and they live happily ever after. Then we got to watch the movie version the old but not too old one and the modern one with Amanda Bynes. The old one was really good I liked it and the modern one was really funny I couldn't stop laughing. So now we have to come out with some plays based on "Twelfth Night." I believe that we have some good actors and the plays or whatever my classmates come up with will be really good. Another thing I started doing this weekend was reading my second book. My second book is, "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time," by Mark Haddon. The book is about an autistic boy named Christopher and he was blamed of killing of his neighbor's dog, but he didn't. But he will like to find out who killed him. While he's explaining his investigation he talks about himself and how is it like to live with autism, which is my question. I'm really enjoying and the book and learning more about autistic people.
