Mar 4 - Monday

 Today we didn’t have time to present our poems, so we read a poem by Gwendolyn Brooks called “We Real Cool.” The poem was about associating yourself with peers that are a bad influence. Which means having to fit in no matter how bad it affects you. People even tend to hurt others and themselves in the process. This happens a lot these days, especially because of social media. We have to know this, so we don’t get pressured into doing bad things. I like this lesson because it’s relatable to our generation and analyzing really helps. I’m feeling happy because we only have to physically go to school four days this week.

The only thing I have to better myself in are the dishes, all the food we eat is delicious, but I can’t make it. I don’t want to be the one to discontinue everything we know from our home country, so I must learn.
