Prompt: Evil by Deven

Evil is a bad thing. I see evil as not listening, not caring, and hurting people emotionally and physically. Ever since I was 12 i actually knew what evil was. Before then, I had no idea. When 12 struck me, i was sitting in class thinking to myself about this one kid in my grade. (not saying names). I thought about all the stuff he does, and how I am totally not like that at all. He talked back to teachers, he didn't have any friends, he even was mean to other kids. This one kid help me realize that everyone is not alike. There will be people in your life that are who they are and you'll just have to deal with it. Evil is bad, and if you feel it coming upon yourself, you should stop doing whatever you're doing.

My National History day project is on Egyptian Rights and History. I have learned so much over this school year about this topic. Did you know, the Egypt is the first state to ever become a state? This dating back to the 10th millennium B.C.? Even though Egypt might be the oldest, they aren't the wisest. Egypt has had political problems since it was initiated a state. Many of these problems have to deal with women and their rebellion against Egyptian government. These women believe that they don't have as many rights as the men do, therefore, the are causing a ruckus and rebelling against their own government to fight(with words) to get the rights they want.


My National History Day project is on Egyptian Rights and History. This project has taught me so much in the past few months about Egypt and its works. Although all countries are different, Egypt’s problems with rights and government deal with women rights. Egypt is the oldest state in the world dating back to the 10th millennium B.C.. All of these characteristics about Egypt define what type of state Egypt really is.

Sneaux Day Free Post

These past couple of snow days has been living poo for me. Virtual school is the worst thing ever invented. I woke up, ate, did my virtual school day and then it was already dark and I didn't get to play in the snow. I was really mad. Also, virtual school is really hard because to ask a question, you have to email the teacher you cannot just ask her. Plus, virtual school puts everyone behind.

Other than the virtual school, I loved the break. I played outside, in the dark, and had a ice ball fight with my neighbor. My dog loved all of it more than me though. He swam in my pool while it was SNOWING. I do not know how he didn't freeze. These snow days were fun, but missing school can make everyone feel behind and start stressing.

Prompt Answer

What would happen in a world where it was the child's choice to go to school? Would you go to school?

In a world like this, there would be no education. Children do not know right from wrong. All the way up until 4th grade, I thought school was pointless, but now, I know there is a real reason behind it. If you want to succeed in life, you have to go to school to learn. 

I personally, don't know what I would do. It depends on what age I am.

Writing Center Experience

This semester, we had two major papers to write. Our "Literacy Narrative" and our "Literary Analysis." Our class spent a lot of time on these papers. I feel like my class in general worked extra hard on these papers because almost everybody asks questions in class about them. If you ask questions, it becomes clearer to you when they get answered by your teacher.

The Writing Center is a great tool available for Episcopal students.. This center is made up of very smart, english-loving students who want to help you write your paper. I attended this center twice this semester. My person that helped me was Aly. She is very smart and I feel like the Writing Center helped me overall want to help other people and it even helped improve my paper grade.
