 Today we read half of “two kinds” by Amy tan. The story was about a rocky relationship between a mother and her daughter. So far this story talks about how the mother is trying everything in her power to make her daughter treat. She goes through different careers and activities, such as she wanted her to be a concert pianist so she found her a teacher and a piano to practice on everyday of the week. Another one was she wanted her daughter to be like Shirley temple so she took her daughter to go get her hair cut just like Shirley temple haircut. She was giving her ideas and things to do but she didn’t want her to be perfect or a genius she wanted he to do the best she could and succeed at it. In the mist of this, the daughter looked in the mirror one day and she saw a side of her that she liked, she began to come into the person that she longed to be. So she gave up on caring wha their mother said in order to see if there would be any change in her mom’s obsessive altitude. There slightly was until one day watching tv. I learned today that sometimes our parents do set high expectations for us such as them wanting us to be better than them. So they push us to and past our limits so that we can become great.. I felt great about today, it was a pretty smooth and chill day, I passed my French quiz test with a 100 when I seriously had doubts lol, but other than that school was great today.

Write about a place you never wanted to leave.

 Prompt response: A place I have never wanted to leave was botanical gardens when I was younger. I felt so magical and at ease there. It was so beautiful and I begged my mom to let us stay longer. I felt as if I was one with nature.  Today in class we started to learn about Indian culture. We watched two videos about things that they do in their culture. Such as how they eat with their hands and not with forks and spoons. Also learned how they only eat with their right hand and the left hand is used for other services. Next we watched a video on how they shake their head when speaking with someone. They do it as a form of communication if they don’t feel like speaking. They acknowledge each other with it such as they say thank you with wobbling their hands and they say yes and no and many other things. It was very interesting to learn these things because I did not know too much about the India culture. Today’s class was very informative and Intersting. My overall day was dece...
