 A conversation that changed me as a person is when my brother told me to start playing basketball. We had a big conversation about it and he eventually convinced me to play the sport. This conversation changed me in a way where I surrounded myself around basketball from that day. I played everyday and tried to become better everyday. It changed not only as an athlete but as a student I would focus more and class just so I can do good for basketball. That is one thing that changed me Today we worked on finding evidence, explaining it, and sourcing. I learned how to find evidence and how to use it for an argument as well as come up with a thesis 

 Something that I believed as a child is when I would walk out my room all my toys would walk around and chill while I was out and as soon as I come back they go back to where they were and freeze. The same concept as Toy Story's after I watched it I really believed it was true and I used to spy on the toys in my room. It something I grew up always believing. I would put my iPad on video and record and try to catch them if they would move, but I would get the same result and eventually would figure out they were never gonna move. yes it was a sad day but of course it was something good I learn because who knew if I would still be trying to catch them.

 A time I have been judged unfairly was when I was playing sport in elementary school. I was tall but never was really good at sports as a kid. So always when picking teams I was never chosen till the end. I wouldn't ever get the ball no matter what sport we were playing. I was just there in the moment but wasn't relevant in the moment. I was really sad about this and slowly faded away from sport and would just play on the playground. It really did affect me but I think I build from that moment and I learned a lot.

  One time that I felt like an interloper is when I went to play basketball at this little tournament I got invited to and everyone knew each other beside me. In the moment it didn't really feel like I was suppose to be there and everyone kin of just knew each other beside me I had no clue who anyone was beside the person who invited me and he didn't even say hi. I was thinking a lot if I was suppose to be there but I had already got dropped and I had a lot of time until my mother came. So I try to fit in and speak to people but it always turned out to be someone ending the conversation and going to someone they knew. I had felt completely out of place but I was there to play basketball which didn't make me feel so bad, but since everyone already knew each other I didn't really get the ball either. So at the end of the day I felt like a interloper, and felt like I was not suppose to be there in the moment or time. Today we did a common lit on the story "Interloper...

 The thing I love most of being part of the Lakeside community is being able to be active and participate on the basketball team.  The way I show off my school spirit is by wearing my lakeside clothing and show my attendance to lakeside events, for example games, and homecoming.

The learning method I enjoy the most is class discussion and hands-on activities. If feel like these help me a lot while learning.

The aspect that i enjoy the most well creating a poem is writing rhymes. I feel like it is really cool to add a rhythm to your poem.

 The song I would choose to describe my life right now is Innocence by Daniel  Ceaser, it is not a log song but has some strong lyrics. He says "Im drifting from my innocence, I wanna be a kid again". Of course I am still a kid and all and it may not hit how it may in a couple years or so, but it does make a lot sense to me. I really do feel it I feel like compare to middle school I had a lot of confidence and I feel as I grew I started to get confused about my future and the path I want to go. This song really reflected me because it feels like I've been through it almost and everything just seem right about it.
