A conversation that changed me was one time I was complaining to my dad about an unfair grade when he just said, "The world doesn't care if it's fair." He wasn't being mean, just blunt and honest. It made me realize that being angry wouldn't change the outcome, only my attitude toward the next challenge. After that conversation, I stopped dwelling on the past and started focusing on what I could actually control. Today in class, we worked on the writing evidence assignment.
A time I felt completely lost was when I moved back to Georgia from Texas. Although I was born in Georgia, I lived in Texas for the majority of my life. I had made friends that I love and so many memories. So when I moved back to Georgia, I was pretty lost. I moved to a more metro part of Atlanta, while during my childhood I lived in the suburbs. I still kept in touch with my childhood friends, but I didn't live very close to them. It was different, but I adapted quickly. The hard part for me was honestly missing my friends and seeing them all together, knowing I couldn't be there anymore. It was sad at first, but I realized that I could make new memories just like I had made memories with my friends before. Today in class, we presented our jealous father PowerPoint. I learned different aspects of the jealous father story and was able to gain a deeper look at the characters' actions, the morals of the story, and the themes.
