"You know I don't want to leave. I have to."(Griet 9) Like Griet, I have had to adjust really fast to a new environment. She had to go to a new house and work there everyday and even sleep there everyday. She didn't see her family much so she had to get used to that. Because I've been home schooled until now, going to high school has been a really big change for me. I have had to get used to getting up at 5:30 instead of sleeping in. The projects and due dates are hard to keep up with. It's been kind of hard but I'm getting used to it. By the time I'm a senior I should be more adjusted to this new lifestyle. Going through this change has made me a lot more independent because of all the things I've had to do for myself. It has also made me more responsible because I've had to make sure I've done all my homework for the next day.
I'm really glad I'm in JSA. It's made the work worth it. It will make me more confident in myself by the time I'm a senior. It will also make me happy because I'm doing something I love. "If I could not work with the colors, if I could not be near him, I did not know how I could continue to work in that house." (Griet 143) When Griet was helping Vermeer make paints she was doing something she enjoyed which made her happy. Instead of just doing tiresome work, she found a way to do something that made her happy while also working. That's what I feel JSA is doing for me. Instead of just going through the motions of high school, I'm actually doing something that will make me a better, more confident person.
the thing that stands out to me the most is your smile. Your smile shows that your confident in who you are and what you have done in your life. Your smile also shows that your respectful of people. You handle situations on your own which make you stronger.
ReplyDeleteMaria you are so smart and your smile shows how confident you are being yourself, which you should be because you are amazing.
ReplyDeleteA connection I personally can make to this is that I also hope to be more independent and handle situations better as I get older. By being more independent and handling situations better, I will also be more responsible. Something that stood out to me is your smile and how your head is held up high. This really does show happiness and confidence. I think that this is truly great that you are comfortable being yourself.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful my cousin ☺️�� like they said the thing that stands out is your smile
ReplyDeleteMaria, I this is a really nice picture. I think you will be very happy when you are a senior if you keep good friends and have fun in high school. I think that you should be yourself no matter what, but if you stay in JSA I know you will come out of your shell and be yourself.
