The topic I picked is a cake order experience. I also included some other details and flashbacks. I like my topic choice for the personal narrative because it’s a topic that I’m quite passionate about. I feel like there’s a lot of can write, but at the same time, there’s too much I want toContinue reading “Day 1: How are you feeling about your topic choice for the personal narrative? Do you have any reservations about the narrative or topic?”

Last year was my first year in Hawaii and my first time attending ‘Iolani Fair. None of my old schools have any carnivals or fairs (other than college fair but that doesn’t count). ‘Iolani fair was the first time I’ve attended a fair for a really long time. It’s a really different experience because I’mContinue reading “Day 3: What is your favorite ‘Iolani Fair memory? If you have never attended the Fair, think about other amusement parks or carnivals you have been to in the past.”

I’ve narrowed my topics to either moving to Hawaii or Bake a Wish. Both of these are more narrowed topics under a bigger event. Moving to Hawaii could be categorized under the bigger idea of adapting to constant change and gaining independence. I might also mention how this is my fifth school. If I chooseContinue reading “Day 2: As you are narrowing down your topic, what has been easy for you throughout this process? What has been difficult? Please briefly explain.”

Out of all the events I’ve brainstormed on my timeline, it’s either the one about my cake/ Bake A Wish or moving to Hawaii that’s most vivid. I’m super passionate about baking and cake decorating. I’ve put in an immense amount of effort and time into this hobby. There are also so many small memoriesContinue reading “Day 1: Out of all the events you have brainstormed on your timeline, which one is the most vivid? What makes this event stand out from the others you have listed?”

I actually don’t know who I want to meet. There are so many inspirational people. I don’t really feel the need to talk to anyone, and waste their time with me asking them questions. If I really have to pick someone, it would probably be Tortik Annushka. I don’t think anyone will know him. HeContinue reading “Fun Friday: If you could meet anyone in the world, who would you want to meet and why? What two things would you ask this person and why?”

Overall, I like everyone’s presentation. A few people’s book talk really stuck out to me. I think Lani did a great job on her book talk with her concise but detailed summary. The book Soebeen chose also seems very interesting because I feel like I can relate to many parts of it. I’m planning toContinue reading “Book Talk Reflection. What stuck out to you today in class? Which books sounded most interesting? Which book do you think you will choose for this quarter?”

It’s weird how I’m presenting not in front of the class. It feels less scary and more comforting because I’m able to sit in my chair and not be able to see my whole class. However, I feel like it’s a lot harder to engage with the audience. I don’t really know how to makeContinue reading “Book Talk Reflection. What stuck out to you today in class? Which books sounded most interesting? Why did these books appeal to you?”

I would prefer to only eat what I can carry in my arms out of the grocery store. There’s a lot of things I won’t be able to grow and not everything I want will grow in where I live. In addition, growing everything would be a really time and space consuming process. I enjoyContinue reading “Fun Friday: Would you rather have to grow all of your own food for the rest of your life or only eat what you can carry in your arms out of the grocery store?”

There isn’t anything crazy exciting for me to write about because I’m still in quarantine. I think I will be able to go out after April 4th. Honestly, I’ve lost count by now. So from the beginning of spring break till now, I’ve been stuck in my apartment. Other than the 4 + 17 hoursContinue reading “Free choice”

I managed to finish most of the body paragraphs. However, I still need to do my introduction and conclusion. There’s still a lot more things I will need to edit. I feel like I need to shorten my book review because I’m using too many quotes right now. I didn’t start on my book talkContinue reading “What do you still need to complete before the book review and book talk are due next week?”
