This week in class we watched a movie called food matters. This movie was a good documentary to watch because it gave me insight on eating healthy and how to better it. I wish that we would of watched this video earlier in this class because I had did an informative speech for my public speaking class about how to eat healthy and if I seen this video it would of been better for me. I also had to present another speech on Tuesday about PTSD that went well to me but you know the teachers always have something different to say. Like my public speaking teacher I believed that I did good with my speech but she thought otherwise . I am starting to get more stressed in this class because when I believe that I am doing good it actually turns out that i'm not doing as well as I thought. I need to have a sit down with her so we can get on the same page and have an understanding because i clearly do not understand what I am doing wrong in her class.. Plus on Tuesday I was late to my first period class and she just had an attitude with me I didn't like that at all. The end of the semester is nearing and I noticed that I am beginning to get more stressed out because it seems as if everything is being crammed into the last few weeks that we have left in school. But other than that I am planing a trip to go and see my husband in Atlanta GA that will be such a stress release and I know that he will be happy to see me.
This past week in class we talked about the Henrietta Lacks story. What i learned was she was the lady how had cells that lived forever. She was diagnosed with cervical cancer. When she went to the doctors they took her cells and realized that they kept growing and they are used for medical research. They have been brought and sold for billions of dollars and to this day her family has not received any money for the cells that are being sold. With this reading we had to highlight the telling and the showing scenes with different colors. This part for me didn't seem as easy as it sounded. I found myself at the end highlighted almost the whole story because it all seemed to either be telling or showing or background information or description.
This past week for me has been a good week other than me not really getting a good understanding of my homework. I have been getting more hours for my job and i am happy with that because i need the money more than ever. Also i got a call from my husband now getting calls from him is something that happens once in a blue moon so i was excited to talk to him. he filled me in on everything that has been going on with him while he is away at training. I got to talk to him and give him insight on what has been going on with me and talking to him just to give him a little confidence that everything is going to be okay gives me confidence . I have recently learned that when you are positive that others around you will become positive. I got information from him that he will soon be having family day so i have been looking up tickets and hotels just to get a thought of how much money i will need to take this trip and that is about all i have been doing this weekend is working and research. In this post i will reflect on what i did in class and everything that is going on at home. In this past week of class we went over three writings about starting a story. For homework we had to create a roundtable discussion and basically we had to take quotes from each reading and make it like they are in a conversation with you. I found that assignment not that hard but it was not easy. What helped me the most was the example that the teacher gave us. In class we talked about what we have read I believe it has helped me because I know understand that in order to get a story you have to start off with something on the paper and to never leave your paper blank because you wont get anywhere with a blank paper. In each of the stories they say that you have to start from somewhere and you have to just write and at the end it will all come together.
Also along with school my life outside of school has been very busy. I had an interview at bed bath and beyond but sitting there in the room talking to the manager just made me not interested in the job he made it seem so boring so that was that. So im still looking for a second job to keep me busy but it is what it is I will just keep looking. But on top of all of that my husband has been gone since the beginning of the month and it has been really hard on me because I miss him dearly. Since he has been gone I have been so sad because I miss him so much. Today is a day that I am happy because I received a letter in the mail from my baby and that really made my day but then made me sad even more because it made me miss him much more. Being as though he is away in the letter he told me one thing and that one thing was for me to stay strong and keep my head held high. I took this and I said to myself that I will always stay strong and never give up. In this post i will talk about my week in class and at home. This last month that has past I have had a lot going on in my life. I am first going to start off from the beginning. I was born as Geneva Hunter and I am 18 years old currently living Yeadon pa. During the month of January I have started school for my second semester. I have also found out that my love was being shipped out on February 1st because he recently joined the National Guard. Other news is we recently got married on January 24th and are expecting a baby girl on may 31st. since he has been gone I have tried o do everything I can to stay busy so time can go by faster. So while I am in school I also work and I am looking for a second job so that I can stay busy. That is all that has been going on this past month in my life.
