Passionate Blog

So I am sitting here thinking what I am really passionate about, and I realize that I am passionate about designing. I love designing because it shows your creativity and you never know how nice it comes out until you try it. I volunteer at my church a lot and there are so many events that happen there such as weddings. The bride would usually tell us the colors that she and the bridesmaids  are wearing and we just create the whole scenery. For example if people are getting married in the spring and the bridesmaids are wearing blue and yellow then we would wrap blue ribbons around the chairs, have flowers in a vase with floating candles and so much more. It may not sound all that while reading this but once you see the outcome it is so nice. I help design peoples weddings, parties, and repasts (the gathering after a funeral). 

I truly love doing this because seeing peoples reactions when they see how beautiful everything comes out is breath taking. We also help with the food such as serving. Even though it can be so much work and tiring, I realize that I enjoy doing this. In the future I want something to do with design. If either architecture or interior design doesn't work for me, then I would have to be a wedding planner or some sort of designer because that is what I have been doing for years now. To me you cant really judge creativity. One thing may look bad in ones eyes but in the next its beautiful. Volunteering brought out the creative side of me and I am glad it is out.

Below are a few pictures of 2 events, a wedding and a birthday party. They aren't all that pictures and next time I will take better ones. :)

Class Related Response (CRR)

So in A.P English we are just doing a lot. Today we just read some essays from the a.p test and graded them. You would think that an essay is good but the little details is what will determine if you will get a high or low grade. It's not about just what you say, it's also about how you say it (your diction). The last year a.p test was extremely hard and I didn't pass and I truly believe that if I take the a.p test this year I still wouldn't pass. Mainly focusing on the essay part I know I will do bad. I am not doubting myself I am speaking the truth. Comparing how I write to the essays that have a 9 on them shows that I need serious help.

We also got a project where every week someone presents and teaches the class about a poem. Poems can be so hard to analyze because once you have your analysis on what you think the poem is and then you do research on the poem, your analysis is completely different from the true analysis and it messes you up. I believe ancient poems are harder to analyze. Also these grammar rules be critical. Every time I think I do good they all come back saying revise like gosh. But I understand they are there to help us fix grammatical mistakes we have been making our whole life on where to put the apostrophe. Well that's all I have to say for now so bye see you soon.
