 Today, we read The Myth of The Latin Woman and listened to a Ted talk about being a Hispanic/Latinx means in the United States. We wrote down interesting things, misconceptions, and questions pertaining to the text and video. We also looked at a new extra credit assignment.

I learned a lot about Latinx and Hispanic people/cultures. What impacted me was how many misconceptions there are about these groups that aren't even easy to realize without seeing examples of them being revealed. With this knowledge, I plan to better identify and keep myself from generalizing people of Latinx background.

What I liked about the lesson was that this information is very valuable for communicating properly in our social lives. This lesson was mostly writing in pencil, and I really prefer typing, but this hasn't ever kept me from doing my work as well as I could.

Today, I am feeling great. I have been quite productive already and I can feel a difference from going to sleep an hour earlier last night. I also led someone to call on the Lord and experience a living touch with Him while walking up to school and shared some of my favorite verses about our human spirit with him. The spirit is our "spiritual organ" we were created with for the sole purpose of contacting and receiving God Himself through Jesus Christ. Call OH LORD JESUS!

Today we had a substitute teacher and I came in pretty late, but we were given an assignment about the Vietnam war to do in Commonlit, which I've still yet to start on.  I learned more rules about level three lockdowns because we had to do a drill during this class period. I liked this class, but I wish we didn't have to sit in the corner for so long for the lockdown. I would have got much more work done. Jesus is God! I love enjoying God.

 Today we started on a presentation about "A Devoted Son." We got a lot of work done in the long class. I had to battle my OCD because the fonts were all over the place from the theme that I set, and many other formatting things were inconsistent in the presentation while/after we worked on it. I have a problem with taking over too much in group projects because my OCD so strongly wants everything to be my orderly way. I think that I've somewhat overcome this. I kept the weird non-theme-fitting font, but I had to at least make every slide's font the same. I hope we get a good grade on this assignment! O Lord Jesus, how I need You today. Lord, don't let me forget about Your sweet name and Your life-giving Spirit that I can breathe in simply by calling out to You.

 Today I came in a bit late and we were going over two poems, and then answered questions about them on canvas for the rest of class. I wish I came in earlier, because the first poem was called "The Lamb" and it was pretty Biblical; it was about the Lord Jesus but it was very hard to follow. I don't think God made me with a poetry-keen brain, which I am completely fine with. I had some great fellowship with Mr. Rease about the poems and in general about God's predestination and such.  This is the last assignment of the day that I need to get done and it's 3:09; school is about to end. I love doing my schoolwork here because I can go home and enjoy the Lord without Him reminding me to take care of my human responsibilities, because I already have! The Lord has really been getting me through this day; I got 7-ish hours of sleep and I can't wait to take a power nap when I get home. Thank You Lord Jesus, for Your so easily-accessible presence, a simple two words a...
