After Thursday's buffet and questioning by Dr. Preston, I have come to realize that in its entirety classroom 608 is not just a small gathering of people with nearly nothing in common, but a small family. All of my classmates coincide. We all want to see diversity, individuality, a spread of culture, and overall acceptance and peace.
And so when I shared my simple idea of (learning about) animal cruelty and/or communication stuff as a masterpiece out loud, I was already quite unsure. After everything was said and done, I realized that this isn't a separate project, it isn't something I have to see as a burden or an extra activity. Dr. Preston keeps saying "It's something you've always wanted to learn about, something you've always wanted to do in a classroom," and such other similar comments. So then I thought "What's the only thing I love to do, the thing I have always loved?" Well that's an easy question, READING.
The one thing I have always disliked about school is that it takes away any free time that used to be available. Especially this year I have found myself with a lack of free time, with AP classes, college apps, weekly (or twice a week) church reunions, and attempting to maintain a slight social life and human interaction. However, especially this year, I have tried extra hard to create "free" time for reading.
I'll just end this post and say that reading is my top choice for a masterpiece. Reading and not books because that limits my scope, reading includes articles, novels (of all genres), poems, journals, etc. etc.
If you are reading this Preston, I rather much like when you speak to us, and not necessarily at us.
