Innovation day reflection

At the end of this experience, I realized that innovation day is a BIG emotional roller coaster.

 

When I started innovation day I was really exited because I got to build a game with circuits! I was also super excited because I had never worked with circuits before. But unfortunately, when the assignment started I began to feel really stressed. There was a lot of research that we needed to do before we got to build and I was nervous I’d get behind. But I didn’t and once I got to build, I got super excited again and that’s when the emotional roller coaster started. For real, one day I was happy and the next I had a total breakdown! The problem was I put a lot of pressure on myself because I am just a person “who always freaks out in any way they can” but when I finished my game it was so rewarding. 

 

In the end, after stressing out presenting to the judges, almost crying because I also didn’t finish my board and screaming with happiness after finishing my game,

 

It was an amazing experience.

This is a photo of my game:

 

In conclusion I loved my game but if I could do something differently next time I would take it easy and try to calm down and relax more. I would have also liked to use my time better. I think I spent too much time on painting, printing and cutting stuff when I should have used that time for better things like making my board and perfecting my research.

 

 

See you next time!

Wonder book activity- Via journal entry

Hi it’s Kitty Stars!!😸😺

Today I wrote a journal entry in the perspective of Via, a character from the book,Wonder by R.G.palacio: So here it is:

 

Dear Journal, It’s me, Via, Today was rough; First, Grans died and me and mom cried together for a while. After we watched The ghost and Mrs.Muir, our favorite black and white movie, just as I thought we were having some good mother-daughter bonding time, the nurse called mom to tell her Auggie had to be picked up, sigh I guess “Via’s mom” is leaving now, time for “Auggie’s mom” to resume.

 

Second, When auggie came home he had told me that he couldn’t go trick-or-treating because he had nausea (He told me himself) but it dawned on me that this kid,the kid who has had over five surgeries and tons of pain would complain about nausea. He finally blew up and told me why: He said lot’s of the boys in his class including his one-time-but-not-anymore friend Jack Will were saying mean things like, big head or weirdo and obviously that upsets me to hear but me complaining about how mean those kinds of kids are, I didn’t because that would never help poor August. He never told me why he wore his bleeding scream costume instead of the boba fett costume mom took weeks to make, but I just didn’t ask and just assumed that he changed his mind. He was also telling me how much he didn’t want to go back to school and deal with those mean kids, but I told him that if he didn’t want to be treated like a baby with disabilities and the issue of people making fun of him, he would have to go back to school. Mom and dad did say that he could quit school any time but I knew he was liking it so I told him if he didn’t go back to school, I would tell mom and dad the problem about Jack Will and his friends. 

 

Later, after we had the talk-fight about going back to school he snatched his comics- (I took while talking to him so he could pay attention to me instead of reading) -back and stuffed his face back in them. When I was about to leave he said: Hey Via, Miranda called ME she asked if a I was alright and I told her I was fine. I can’t believe you didn’t tell her about me Via! Anyway, I told her I was fine and she told me she loves me like a big sister, ALSO! she told me that you don’t talk anymore! Is that true? Yah…. Auggie. Also one more thing before you go Via! Said August, she told me she loves me like a big sister AND! That she misses you,…. Bye Via! See you at dinner! Bye,…. August. I said and left the room. Flabbergasted!, shocked! Like a big sister, really!?, WOW MIRANDA. After dinner (Mashed potatoes and corn with fish, something August can eat.)  After I kissed auggie and my parents goodnight then headed up to my room and started my nighttime routine. First I started off by showering and brief hydrating skin routine- (Which noeone besides mom and you,Journal)- then pulled out my phone and took some pictures of me in my pj’s with fresh “routined” skin then hoped in the bed and finished the last chapter of War & peace amnd put it away pn my new developing bookshelf in my room beside my bedside table near my closet. I went back on my phone and quickly texted Miranda and I said: I’m sry I’ve haven’t been hanging out with u tlk tmrw?  She quickly replied:😊 Friend again?      And I flushed with happiness just like the emoji, and texted back: Friends again.

 

Sincerely

Public speaking reflection write-up

Hi it’s Kitty Stars!!😸😺

Today I’m writing a short public speaking reflection

 

Process

The process of making (typing it up) the speech was surprisingly easier than I thought. I had not much trouble because I can type at a good pace. That being said, I got it done sooner than later. I think this was one of the more easier things because I have done a lot of things like this. I found after I got started I just kept going and going and going AND GOING. When l I was finished I can tell espcially with something just as inportant as this sometimes writing (typing) is easier than hand-writting it.

 

Planning

The planning was very hard. It was probably the the hardest part of this because I was not aware that this was a time consuming process. In the end it turned out fine but it was difficult. I didn’t know what I was going to do at the stars but eventually I got THE ideas I needed and started on the base of the speech. After the planning on the base of a doc I moved on to writing the official thing. I’m  happy with my planning and the way I managed it was good.

 

First Presentation – class presentation

The First presentation went well even though I was nervous. I was nervous BECAUSE it was my first year of public speaking BUT it turned out just fine. In the end once I got started couldn’t stop! Then finally BAM!! THAT’S IT! IT’S OVER!  I was happy when I finished and even more so, pleased with the results! I think it turned out great!

 

Finals

Unfortunately I did not get into the finals but that’s ok. I know what I could have done and ongoing next year I know now what I can improve(do better next time). Because I learned what I learned and got feedback about what did well and not so well…. But the point is I have the grades that I can improve to move hopefully to the finals. I  have learned many things  and I’m exited to take my knowledge to next years public speaking. I’m now ready to take on next year! In conclusion….

 

Conclusion

I know I didn’t get into the finals but I hold my head high and I am still proud of what I’ve done.  I am happy with what I wrote on the subject\topic I did  and couldn’t  do it any other way. BUT for next year I know what I will improve on and what I will keep the same. The results were exactly what I wanted to happen. I have a lot of pride in what I’ve done and I’m exited to do more next year. Finally I’m happy with the results and exited to do more.

Pirate’s🦜🏴‍☠️

Hi it’s Kitty Stars😺🐱! Here is my paragraph to response about if I want to be pirate and why.

 

 

I would love to be a pirate because it’s like everyday is a holiday! If I was a pirate I think it would be super awesome-ly fun! Singing songs, playing instruments, swimming and following treasure sounds really cool to me; Plus being a pirate means you get to explore and have an adventure almost everyday! And even get rewarded! And being a pirate would mean you would be able to find all kinds of beautiful and rare jewels,jems, stones and things like copper and zink and things to make your own furniture. When you become a pirate you would also live on and in boat! How cool is that? I think it’s Soooooo-SUPER cool! (Accept angry sea’s ughhh stomach ach’s galore!) I think that being a pirate also gives advantages, like for example, you live on a boat right? So that means you can LITERALLY GO ANYWHERE ON THE INTIRE GLOBE! Plus you can dock your boat\(home) ANYWHERE it fits, and currently in the world there is a huge amount of bodies of water to choose from! You can go anywhere!                                                 

 

So yes, if someone asked if me ( and my family OF COURSE) to be a pirate yes, I would say yes.
