 People have assumed I am a racist because I am a white male. I was a new kid to Henderson and they assumed I was racist. Every time I was accused of it I reassured them that I am not and they have nothing to prove that I am, because I am not. Today we filled out a stereotype paper. The lesson was a little hard.

 I will never fully understand how people can kill innocent people. It is unfathomable how people can do that, and I will never understand how they can ever be that angry. Today we presented our poems. Today's lesson was laid back and nice.  

 I wish I had more time as a kid. With being a senior now, my childhood seems to be coming to a close which I don't like at all. I miss being care free without any stress. Being a kid was the most fun I have ever had. Today we worked on our poem poster. I liked today's lesson.

 The most creative thing I have ever made would be a green egg table. The table consisted of the hole for the green egg to go in, a bottom shelf for supplies and a top shelf for the food you are grilling. I have sold a couple for $400-$600. Today we started writing a poem about our culture. I liked today's lesson, we are able to be creative.

 My most burning question about life is how many other plants in the universe have life on them. This question is brought up with my friends a lot because it is crazy how many stars there are in the sky. There could be so many other life forms out there. My second burning question is how many people don't have a passion for a higher power such as Jesus Christ. Today we read a poem.

I have been lost in the woods before. It was a little scary because I was only 8, but my cousin and I just looked for trail marker signs until we found our way back to the cabin. Today we are presenting our cultural mask. I feel good about it, I am getting more comfortable presenting things now.

 I have taken Mr. Reases class before so it did not take too much getting used to. The only thing that has taken some getting used to is the identity finding, but it isn't too hard.

 Patriarchy has influenced how I was raised and my identity. It shapes the way I respect people in different ways. Today we started our cultural identity mask. Today is a good day.

 My cultural heritage shapes my daily expectations by keeping me in check. I was raised to be respectful and try to gain respect by the people I am around. Today we read a text and answered discussion questions. It was a good day.
