This Thanksgiving break was one of the best yet. When I was younger, I would go out of town with my family and be bored out of my mind. I would get sick of my annoying cousins and missed my friends. At that point, I had no choice of how to spend the Thanksgiving break.

Now that I am older, I have more say in what I want to do over the break. This break I got to hang out with friends and also family. Of course, my family and I went out of town but were able to come back earlier due to my soccer practice and game. I was so happy about this because it meant less time out of town and more time to hang out with my friends.

    Getting older does open up many more privileges. Your break sounds like it was fun and relaxing. Good job!

Flash Story

At exactly 5:30 AM, the blaring alarm woke the four teenage girls from a deep sleep. They tossed and turned until Blaire realized what the day had in store. Blaire woke the others and they hurriedly showered, got dressed, brushed their teeth, combed their hair, and were out the door in less than twenty minutes. By 6:00 AM, Blaire, Kristen, Stella, and Skylar hopped into the jeep with excitement. At 6:15 the girls reached the highway, blasting the car speakers with their all-time favorite music. They enjoyed the early morning ride, laughing, texting, taking pictures and videos, until it stopped. At exactly 6:17 AM the jeep collided with an eighteen wheeler, rolled down the highway, as Blaire was halfway through what she didn't know would be her last text.

Strengths and Challenges

I feel that my strengths as a writer have significantly grown this year. Through writing different types of papers, I learned what my strengths and weaknesses were and what I enjoyed. I found that I was strong in writing personal narratives and blog posts which made me realize that I enjoyed creative writing. In these papers, I included strong word choice and voice, which included vivid detail and personality, originality, and passion. These aspects are important to these papers because they speak to the audience and make the reader interested in the paper. After writing my literary analysis and research paper, I found I struggled with these styles of writing. I found my organization in these papers to be a challenge. This includes the structure of my paper, such as the order of events, and making my paragraphs flow together seamlessly. I also found it difficult to stimulate ideas for which direction I wanted to take these papers in. I eventually decided on ideas after I took time

Political Post

This past week, Judge Reinhardt died at the age of 87. He was a longtime liberal on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The Ninth Circuit has been difficult for conservatives to deal with due to its influence of liberals such as Judge Reinhardt. However, with this vacancy on the court, along with eight others, President Trump has an opportunity to change the court to his advantage by choosing who will take the openings. He has put forth two nominees, Mark Bennett and Ryan Bounds. Bennett has support from the two democratic senators, however Bounds does not. Despite efforts made by Senator Dianne Feinstein, the senior democrat on the Judiciary Committee, President Trump will choose a nominee much different than Judge Reinhardt. After reading this article, I find it interesting to see the split between the Democrats and Republicans when it comes to the courts and replacements. Even though the Democrats will oppose the nominees President Trump picks, I believe the
