I just recently found out from a friend who still goes to the high school I graduated from that one of my art pieces is on display! Every year, the AP Art teacher chooses the top 10 art pieces from different artist who show their technique effectively to display in a case located in the main hallway of the school. Out of almost 50 students, I was one of those students chosen! This just shows how wrong I was about my art. In AP Art, students choose a concentration and from that concentration, they draw 24 different pieces that portray that concentration or concept. I chose, and I know it sounds lame, details of fruits and vegetables. Because I thought no one would really like my concept, I always thought that my pieces wouldn't be eye catching. I went all of AP Art doubting myself and my pieces, but this just shows that my art pieces had just as much potential as everyone else's. Now my 'Dragonfruit' art piece (done with colored pencil) is on display and will be returned

Reflection  A Letter From Me to Me  Writing is art, and it took too many English courses for me to finally realize it. Art has always been one of my biggest passions. The details, the colors, the freedom, the ability to express myself.. I love it. Remember in the very beginning of the semester we talked about writing being "art"? Well, I was skeptical. It wasn't until I wrote my rhetoric narrative " A Month Later " I was able to express myself in a way that was similar to art (or even better).

But, I knew what details are effective for my narrative, and which ones weren't. That's something I learned throughout this course, not everything you want to say has to be said. I was able to express my thoughts, the sounds we heard, and what we did very explicitly, yet onl

Less Strict   I had it tougher than my younger siblings. I was never able to get away with anything, yet, that’s all my younger siblings seem to do. I asked some of my friends who also have younger siblings, and they seem to agree. What are the consequences of parents being less strict with the younger children? One of the consequences of being less strict with the younger children is that they might become more rebellious than their older siblings. Because they might not have the same constraints, they might feel like they can get away with a lot of things, which can lead them to participate in bad behaviors. Another consequence is that they might end up taking advantage of their parents. They might manipulate the parents and have them counter argue about something, or lie about what they do. Another consequence is that the parents might slowly lose control over their children. Because the parents might not have shown their full power and control that they can have over their c
