Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman was a 19th century poet and journalist. He was a realist because he tells about reality and puts it in blunt terms so we can grasp the importance of the character rather than the plot or the action. He was very descriptive of characters and used situations that were common in that era.

Priorities

Many people play sports and also have a girlfriend or boyfriend to hang out with after-school. Peers, parents, and coaches have always wondered how us athletes can handle it. It's quite simple, actually. You meet up after-school, say hi and bye, then run to practice. Some have trouble with this concept though. They "dilly-dally" and make themselves late and give a poor excuse. if you can handle the pressure, then take the risk. However, if you play around, then don't even make an attempt.

Sophomore Year

The teachers this year are great! I am having fun but I'm nervous about my interim report. Their haven't been many grades put in, yet the ones that have been put in are not so great. I'm looking forward to improving and enhancing my skills, such as time management. This year, my goal is to step up my game and improve so that junior year won't be such a transition. I'm trying my best and that's what matters.
