For most of you, yesterday you took the SAT. If you did not, you will take it before you leave high school. What is your desired SAT score? Identify your top three colleges and explain why each school appeals to you.

 

    For me my desired SAT score is a 1320. I really want to be out of state, but the public schools I'm looking at for this have a large out of state tuition. So if I can get a 1320 then I can get some pretty good scholarships for these schools. Right now my top picks are mostly in Tennessee with University of Memphis, Middle Tennessee, and the non Tennessee school, Western Carolina. I choose these places for the music program, and their location. Memphis is one of my favorite cities, I have been there before and I'm going again to tour the school. Memphis has a great music environment with a lot of blues. Middle Tennessee for similar reasons. Tennessee is just known for really talented musicians, like Chat Atkins. I chose Western Carolina for the place. It is up in the mountains, with Native American reserves, and ski resorts near by. They also have a good studio on campus.


We read chapter 6 of Into the Wild.


I learned the McCandless had a sister, and could play piano.

We read two poems by Robert Frost. I learned about how good things come and go.

Write about a time when you realized you needed to look out for yourself in a silly or harmless situation—maybe dodging a pop quiz, escaping a group chat argument, or remembering at the last second to submit an assignment. How did choosing wisely make your life easier?

      My friends and I go to parks a lot. One time the invited me to go with them, It was night around 8 and I decided not to go. Later on that night my friend got badly hurt, and had to go back home, and miss a day of school. By not going I was able to avoid getting hurt like my friend. We finished the story story "The Life You Save May Be Your Own". I learned about the lesson the story taught.
