The Art of Listening

We focused on the art of listening today in class. At the beginning of class, we did a Kahoot activity on current events. After this, we had a lesson on listening. We learned what it really meant to listen and how important it was. We then did a quick activity to see how good our listening skills were before we were dismissed.

The Argumentative Essay

I was pretty nervous coming to class today. I knew that we had to write our argumentative essays today and I was a tad bit intimidated by the thought of it.

I did not get to write my very last sentence to finish my essay before time ran out, but I am hoping Mr. Rease will have mercy on me.

The 101 Year Old Veteran

Today was a very interesting day. I didnt go to Mr. Rease's class today because Colonel Brady, my JROTC instructor, picked me and a few others to go listen to a 101 year old veteran. This was a once in a lifetime experience that I wanted to take advantage of. He told us about his experiences in fighting wars and how times today are much different than times were back then. He was able to accomplish many things in his life despite the odds stacked against him. An example is how he started businesses as an African-american when the country was still segregated. He gave us motivation to push on in life because we can really accomplish anything. I am very grateful that I was able to be there with him today.
