Nadeen masoud

2020-09-22 06:38:16 UTC

I honestly go on tik tok 24/7. You can say I’m pretty funny. I’m exited to enter my first year of high school. For me it’s all about new beginnings although this isn’t how I wanted it to go.

Abdula Mustafa

2020-09-22 17:58:48 UTC

I like humor of any kind and I like to play many different types of video games. I am really looking forward to learning more about economics in the world and the problems of it.

I was born deaf and wearing bilateral cochlear implants to help me to hear better. I'm good at basketball, etc. I can't wait to learn about government and economics for this year.

2020-09-23 12:32:56 UTC

Justin Polyakov

2020-09-23 12:34:13 UTC

DANIEL FRANCIS

2020-09-23 12:57:20 UTC

2020-09-23 13:16:44 UTC

I’m Daniel Yermolin, and I’m excited to be here in your class. I would love to learn about economics and social justice.

2020-09-23 13:17:05 UTC

It’s a Mix for me, since I can relate to my online self when I’m offline sometimes.

Takoda Nestor

2020-09-23 13:31:43 UTC

I like to read comic books and manga. And i want to learn more about presidents this year in Social Studies.

Takoda Nestor

2020-09-23 13:33:20 UTC

I am undecided because some people can be real on the internet and others can be fake.

Nicole Tsokolova

2020-09-23 13:50:32 UTC

I’ll have to disagree because I feel like everyone’s different over the internet, from how they actually are in real life

Steven Peralta

2020-09-23 14:15:51 UTC

I think this is true because my online self is different from the offline self because when I’m offline I’m like in another world because I enjoy being with families friends etc... but my online self is not paying attention to family or friends we are just paying attention to the numbers followers etc...

Gabriel Alexis. I like to play basketball and work on technology. What i am seeking to learn this

2020-09-23 14:47:11 UTC

Gabriel Alexis. I like to play basketball and work on technology . One thing i plan on learning this year about social studies is mire about African American people and my culture

2020-09-23 14:48:35 UTC

Gabriel Alexis . I like to play basketball and work on technology. What im seeking this year to learn about social studies is about African American people and ETC. I disagree my online self isnt my true self because im not phiscally touching the person or interacting with them so i will have a different mood

2020-09-23 14:54:05 UTC

2020-09-23 15:31:51 UTC

Chanel Currence

I’m am extremely excited to be at a new school I look at it as a fresh start! One thing that I am hoping to learn from social studies this year is more about the law. Hopefully more history that I can learn from & that gives me benefits in my future.

2020-09-23 15:36:22 UTC

I’m undecided about this statement because I feel it is a mix of different opinions & emotions I believe that most people can be theirselves online rather than in person

Armando Munguia

2020-09-23 17:22:49 UTC

I agree with this staement because on social media I don't post often which is a reflection of I what i act like in real life. I have only posted once on instagram and it wasn't even of me so I feel like I am just the same on the internet as I am off the internet.

Andy

2020-09-23 18:15:18 UTC

I disagree because online you can't decide what to post and you can edit yourself.

2020-09-23 18:19:42 UTC

Ayesha khatun
I am underide because some people can be real on internet but other people can be fake when i'm in offline i am in different world so just enjoy your life.

Hadassah Sklar

2020-09-23 18:52:16 UTC

I totally disagree this because posting things that doesn't belong to you doesn't show your true self. True self is something that belongs to you and make you happy, that is your true self. If you post like other people do, that is not your true self. If you post something different from other people and coming from you, that is who you are and your true self. Deep down, life isn't about soical media. Your true self is in your heart and you know that.

justin polyakov

2020-09-24 12:49:10 UTC

I am seeking to learn just about ever thing from social studies this year. Social studies is my favrotie subject so i would like to learn everthing.

i think by "living aarows" fired foward by their parents its like your parents push u foward to motivate u.

2020-09-24 12:53:56 UTC

Steven Peralta

2020-09-24 14:44:19 UTC

I think this is a way that your parents do to motivate or persuade you in order you could be someone in the future.

Brissia Lopez

2020-09-24 14:53:44 UTC

I think "living arrows fired forward by their parents" means that their parents are motivating them. So, yes this does describe my experience. My mother has always pushed me to do my best and has prepared me to live without her assistance .

Armando Munguia

2020-09-24 15:30:26 UTC

I would say it describes my experiance because my parents have been by my side to help me at every step of the way and are the reason i've made it this far. Just like the arrows were fired thanks to the bow.

Nicole Tsokolova

2020-09-24 17:21:24 UTC

I would say it describes my experience because my parents try to be by my side through everything. Even though I may not always take them everything going on in my life, they still try their best to push me to do my best and help me.

makaila curtis

2020-09-24 18:47:53 UTC

I'm undecided with this statement because I sometimes show the real me online but I also sometimes in certain occasions you will only see the real me if Its in person. I'm not always gonna show the real me I don't know you or if its not in person my online self doesn't always define me..

makaila curtis

2020-09-24 18:56:59 UTC

2020-09-24 18:58:47 UTC

Hadassah Sklar

2020-09-24 19:12:12 UTC

Yes, my parents always push me through pain because i have two cochlear implant surgeries in my brain like behind the ear. My parents made me to keep moving forward by being yourself and everyone is different no matter what. They keep loving you forever in their heart. They tried their best to help you that you are not alone, sometimes they will be on your side. When they are not there for you, just remember what your parents always said to you. Repeat their words in your brain in million times. Your parents said "You can do it, you got this"

Andy Mei

2020-09-24 19:18:58 UTC

my parents always motivate me to do good in school so i could get a good job in the future

makaila curtis

2020-09-24 19:22:00 UTC

I love to play gituar I'm currently learning. This year I want to learn about Africa when it was wealthy and had gold.

Nadeen Masoud

2020-09-25 02:27:59 UTC

I’m kinda addicted to tik tok and I’m very nice. What I’m seeking to learn about in social studies this year is everything happening in the world right now. THE PAST IS THE PAST WE SHOULDNT KEEP LEARNING ABOUT THE WORLD WARS WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT IT. we need to learn more about COVID 19 and how Uighur Muslims in China are being raped killed forced to go against the rules of their religion simply because they are Muslim there’s a literal holocaust going on for Muslims and no ones talking about it. That’s what we all need to be learning about.

Nadeen Masoud

2020-09-25 02:29:56 UTC

I disagree because I feel like online I can be myself but in person I can be more different at first and a little awkward online I’m totally myself

Nadeen Masoud

2020-09-25 02:32:15 UTC

I think it means that your parents push you forward and motivate u to become the best person you can be

Eric Braxton

bmullins82 — 2020-09-25 15:43:52 UTC

When Khalil describes children as living arrows fired by their parents describes my experience because my parents helped me pass my classes when i was younger.

Abdula Mustafa

abdulam — 2020-10-05 12:45:45 UTC

I am someone who will always be there for my friends no matter what happens in life. I will also lift up my friends before I even think about me. I am also someone who values friends and family above anything else.

Andy Mei

2020-10-05 13:42:42 UTC

I am someone who would support my friends and family no matter what and I'm loyal and honest.

Brissia Lopez

2020-10-05 13:51:31 UTC

I am a very kind, caring, and trustworthy person. Even though I'm very introverted, I like making new friends and if you respect me, I respect you, no matter who you are.

Steven Peralta

I am someone who is pending everything.

Nicole Tsokolova

Hadassah Sklar

2020-10-05 14:53:19 UTC

I am funny when even you're feeling down I can make you laugh for real. I am smart person with compassion. I am great, respect, and motivated person who will be there for my family, friends, and stranger (who want to be my friend) to make their day happy no matter what beside I'm athlete. I can play with anybody who wants to play w me in basketball, football, rugby, etc. Also I am a person who shows my core value skills in middle school through into this high school. The core value are respect, empathy, curiosity, integrity, and resilience. I'll be going to use that core value everyday to make their day and myself littttt depends if you're nice to me and respect me as well;)

2020-10-05 16:36:45 UTC

Ayesha khatun
I am someome who would i will be support is my family and my friend no matter what goes through me i will always going to be there for them and be loyal and be honest with them with everything.

Joel Blackburn

I am someone who will give help when needed abs will be there for someone and who haves fun

Joshua Clarke

2020-10-05 20:51:08 UTC

I want to learn about what to look for in different positions in the government when I can vote

Joshua Clarke

2020-10-05 20:52:22 UTC

I disagree because I’m kind of different in person than on social media

Joshua Clarke

2020-10-05 20:53:06 UTC

No because my parents let me fallow my dreams not what they want me to be

Joshua Clarke

2020-10-05 20:55:34 UTC

I am someone who procrastinates a lot and also works hard to do something I see as good but does the mininmum if I don’t and is loyal if you show me loyalty

Makaila Curtis

2020-10-06 05:22:43 UTC

I’d like to learn more about my rights as a African American

Makaila Curtis

2020-10-06 05:24:15 UTC

I am someone who isn’t fake and I’ll do the most I can for my friends but I usually get taken advantage of sadly

Keny Martinez

2020-10-06 17:06:28 UTC

Well, I play soccer and I like to ride my bike a lot ! This year I would like to learn about economics, more history and just more about what the government really is in general.

Keny Martinez

2020-10-06 17:11:12 UTC

I completely disagree with that statement because i think that we do have multiple personalities based in the environment or people we are in or with. And that shouldn't be considered being fake or be necessarily bad or wrong at all. There is just different energy or vibes everywhere and we either match it or just act a certain way based on that. So the way we talk or act in social media is a personality ON social media. Not fully ourselves or our true selfs.

Keny Martinez

2020-10-06 17:26:12 UTC

I suppose what that means is like, we are fired foward by our parents but not really in that bad way, but in the way of saying our parents guide us to do good, do better but at the end of the day, us the arrows land where we do based on life and i think i can relate because my parents do guide me to do good decisions and just good in general.

Keny Martinez

2020-10-06 17:42:45 UTC

I am someone who could, who can and will be able to do anything i put my mind into. I am someone who will use their voice and stand up when something isn't right.

Eric Braxton

2020-10-06 19:41:46 UTC

I am someone that will be there for someone when they need me.

Cheyenne Nicholls

2020-10-06 23:41:25 UTC

I am 14 years old
I love anime

Cheyenne Nicholls

2020-10-06 23:42:37 UTC

I don’t go online or on social media that often so I’m not sure but I think your online self is your true self for some people because some people want to act like that in real life or act a certain way in real life but can’t because they’re afraid of how others might perceive them but when they’re online they don’t have to worry about that because when you’re online you could pretend to be a different person change your name no one knows who you are

Cheyenne Nicholls

2020-10-06 23:43:38 UTC

Not sure I didn’t really like the poem but I guess you could say that your parents do encourage you to move on to better yourself

Cheyenne Nicholls

2020-10-06 23:45:15 UTC

I am brave I am crying I am someone who likes meeting others and making new friends I am someone who would pick a fight with you if I’m bored enough I am someone who always got my friends back sometimes even if they wrong I am someone who I would try their hardest to make my friends feel happy rather than making me feel happy

Nadeen Masoud

2020-10-07 13:53:00 UTC

I am someone who will help you through a tough time because I know what your going through. I can always make you laugh. If it seems like I’m not a good friend because I’m not available your wrong. I just go through times we’re I don’t wanna speak to anybody. But I’m a very funny loving friend.

Sierra Lee

2020-10-14 13:57:44 UTC

Hi, I’m Sierra. I’m someone who likes to sing, read, write & I LOVE helping people out. What I am seeking to learn this year in social studies is politics. I feel like since there’s so many things going on in the world about politics & civil rights. I feel like this is the time to learn more about it so I could actually understand it a little better & actually talk about it to others.

Sierra Lee

2020-10-14 14:16:26 UTC

I am someone who respect & love others compassionately. I am strong, hard working. Even though Sometimes I would slack some motivation but there’s always times where I tell myself “Today you are going to be productive” & I would force myself. I am someone one who faces hard challenges everyday but I fight to get through them.

2020-10-21 00:23:50 UTC

Kimberly Galan
I want to learn something new in this class

Antigone chapman

2020-10-23 19:16:01 UTC

Yes, because my mom alsways tries to teach me life lessons and to make sure not to go down the same path and make the same mistakes she did.

Antigone Chapman

2020-10-23 19:17:29 UTC

Ayesha khatun
One thing i love about my family is they let me do what ever i want and i can do anything and let my dream go and be mu self and make me happy.

2020-10-26 04:28:07 UTC

Ayesha khatun
I kinda disagree is because online school can make u little confused and u really need help from teacher and at the same time is fun cuz u can stay home but online school is little diiferent and hard.

Daniel Francis

2020-10-26 13:14:26 UTC

I disagree because you can be someone different from the real you

Nyla Phillips

2020-10-26 22:02:10 UTC

Your online self is your true self because your free to act how you want to act,usually in person you are scared of how people might react but when your online that human interction part is elminated so its a judgment free spece almost.

Nyla Phillips

2020-10-26 22:11:25 UTC

I like food.I want to learn about things that are not usually taught.
w

Nyla Phillips

2020-10-26 22:17:24 UTC

Yes this describes my experiece because once you are born you become your own person.You dont follow what others say and your constantly growing.Its as if your shot into life and it never stops for you.The journey is continuos.

Nyla Phillips

2020-10-26 22:25:10 UTC

I am Unique and intelligent

Gabriel Alexis

2020-11-03 14:04:29 UTC

What suprised me the most is that Joe Biden had 78% and he is our future president and most of the questions i dont agree with because they unnecessary.

Takoda Nestor

2020-11-03 14:50:05 UTC

I wasn't really surprised I expected my results to be like they are.

im someone who always gonna look out for my family and friends also whoever got my back.I dont care what people think about me and also i got anyone back

2020-11-03 15:12:31 UTC

Joel Blackburn

2020-11-03 15:42:51 UTC

What surprised me is that I had a 85% connection with Joe Biden but I was sure it’d be higher

Hadassah Sklar

2020-11-03 15:46:19 UTC

I was surprise that my connection is Joe Biden about 86% but I got 9% for Donald Trump however these many presidents is trying to win the election depends on their job to protect and severe our country. But in 2024, I wish there is a female who win the election in 2024 will become the president to make sure our country is treated properly. In 2024, I got connection with Peter Buttigieg is 88% but there is a lot of thing that I don't know about him like what he does to serve our country and protect our country as well. I don't support these presidents (neutral) because I don't know how are they gonna take care of the country and I don't know if they are making the right decision to protect our country or not. But I support Biden because he is our hope for future president.

Brissia Lopez

2020-11-03 15:55:56 UTC

I was surprised with how similar my beliefs were with Howie Hawkins. For most of the questions, I already knew what I wanted my answer to be, but there were some that I really had to think about. The answers to those questions ended up being similar to Howie's answers and I think that's what shocked me.

Joshua Clarke

2020-11-03 17:02:46 UTC

I would vote for Joe Biden because he has the best chance of beating Ttump and he needs to go he was a horrible president

Keny Martinez

2020-11-03 19:05:35 UTC

I was surprised that I had a 93% connection with Howie Hawkins.. and a 88% connection with Joe Biden.. But regardless of that I still stand and if I could, I would vote for Joe Biden. However I do respect what Howie Hawkins thinks. I was also surprised I had a 1% connection with Donald trump.. ew🤢. As little as it is, I am beyond ashamed, wouldn't like anything to do with that orange.. There was probably an error.

Andy Mei

2020-11-04 00:03:11 UTC

The thing that surprised me the most is how similar my beliefs are compared to Joe Biden's.

abdulam — 2020-11-04 06:54:31 UTC

I was surprised because it said 79% for Joe Biden but I don't necessarily full agree with his all of his views and I only agree with some.

Nicole Tsokolova

2020-11-04 11:55:02 UTC

Honestly I was surprised that Biden had been winning, because the amount of trump supporters I knew of was a great number and i wasn't expecting the elections to turn around like that.

Sierra Lee

2020-11-06 17:10:18 UTC

I’m Sierra, I really enjoy reading & writing. I would probably prefer that over ANYTHING in life. Sometimes I am really seeking to learn this year in Social studies is politics. Really anything that has something to do with the government because Who wouldn’t want you know about their government & what they are doing, You know? I would love to know more about this topic because it’s really interesting even though I don’t care for it, You know? So when someone asks me something about politics, I would be prepared. I just want people to know my opinion on this topic & my perspective.

2020-11-06 17:18:48 UTC

What surprises me about my Results is how I don’t know half of the people that came up. The only people I actually know about is Kayne, Joe Biden, Mitchell Obama & trump. The other candidates that came up, I have NO clue who they are & where they came from. I definitely wasn’t expecting Kayne to be someone who I’ve vote for. I only know him as this rich, Black rapper who has a big family🤣.

Brissia Lopez

2020-11-18 14:17:12 UTC

In some ways, schools do inspire your creativity. However, there's always a limit. You can't ever have the same idea as someone else, or even a similar one, because you'd feel unoriginal. We're told at a young age that we should always stand up for ourselves and our friends, but the moment we do, it's seen as wrong. We're told to be creative, yet we don't know how to express that because since we were children, we've always been limited.

Sierra Lee

2020-11-18 17:13:38 UTC

As of right now, I would say school kills my creativity spirit. Some Schools are teaching a kid's mind with a solitary spotlight on scholastic accomplishment. I think its principally in light of the fact that we are in a pandemic and we as a whole are behind screens. At the point when I take a gander at school, I look as though I have really work to proceed onward to the following evaluation. I feel like while we are in school we don't set aside the effort to time at imagination. We are chiefly working and working. So, What I am trying to say is that there is a spirit of creativity but it's not in me as of right now.

Hadassah Sklar

2020-11-18 17:49:30 UTC

Not all of the school inspire your creativity but some do because they always have a disagreement that teachers can't let us do that. Every teachers always have to decide whether it is okay when a student create something but the teacher doesn't like it. Most teachers need to think before they respond to the student creativity. It mostly likely to kill my creativity spirit because I really hate when a teacher always have a disagreement about my creative. Teachers can be jealous and steal your creative ideas and exposed in public. Most teachers refuse to accept my creative because they are too dumb to think before they make a stupid decision to our students creativity.

Gabriel Alexis

2020-11-19 16:11:12 UTC

School inspires me to do better and be something in life with the resources they give us everyday

dasha puente

2020-11-19 21:41:59 UTC

School kill's my creative spirit because it's the same everyday and nothing new and not really entertaining or like fun.

Andy Mei

2020-11-19 23:19:29 UTC

school kills my creative spirit because we rarely use our brain in a "fun" way. It's boring since we mostly do work which doesn't involve being creative .

kimberlyg94 — 2020-11-20 02:51:56 UTC

School sometimes kill the spirit and inspire at the same time because u end up learning new things but at the same time u have to do it in that way and it can turn it to negative.

Abdula Mustafa

abdulam — 2020-11-20 13:29:44 UTC

Sometimes school can inspire me by giving me news ideas and making me learn more about something that I was simple minded towards, for example showing me different angles of something. On the other hand it can kill creative spirit by making us focus on one thing the whole time.

Brissia Lopez

2020-11-20 16:26:14 UTC

I don't think I do. I don't post much on my instagram or any social media for that matter. But when I do, it's usually me talking about the things I love or me trying to spread awareness to what's happening in this world. I do, however, know some people who lie about what they're doing with their lives on social media and I try my best not to be like that because I'm my own person and I don't think I need to lie about myself for the enjoyment of others.

Sierra Lee

2020-11-20 16:29:16 UTC

I’m proud to say that I am not living in a Insta lie. First off, I’m Christian & lying is a sin so OF COURSE I’m not going to be doing that, lol. So many people live off on a lie, A living lie on many platforms. They do this because they want to look good & they want to fit in. Second, I wanna be me. I wanna be different from others. I DO NOT want to try to change something in order to fit in, I don’t try to please anyone but myself. On my platform I post what I want to post & when I want to post it. Doesn’t matter if someone like it or not. They’re just missing out on someone who’s a good, caring & genuine person.

I do not use social media that often because some people post fake stuff or something that is not right.I stop using that much cause their lot of people who judge u even thou they don't known the real u in person

I use social media to text my friends and connect people who is struggling through because their mom's son is having cochlear implants surgery in different state. We talked and share same experience when I was a baby, it make them feel better. I don't like to lie on my post, my story, etc but I always post something on my story to remind me of something and make me happy when I'm feeling down like memories. I don't like using people phone number because I prefer to text them on social media. It was good to connect people on social media that you met them in real life like at school, etc but you have to be honest with yourself as long as your friend trust you and talking to you a lot. This is me doing in my own way as long as I'm happy. I use social media to connect, communication, and spread awareness, etc. But do your school work first, then you can go whatever you want but when your mom is asking you for help do never ignore her help. Just respond to the situation with your family, family is the main priority than social media.

Hi! my name is Aleksandre Popkhadze, i speak three languages and am from a former soviet country called georgia (yes im aware that there is also a state called georgia, now shush), im usually very awkward but when i get to know you i can be very talkative and social, i like things like history, geography, and a little science, things im looking forward to learning in social studies is

Aleksandre Popkhadze

2020-11-21 19:51:38 UTC

Im gonna put this in a short sentence, social media is garbage, its just the truth, you literally cant have an opinion that is looked at wrong by all of the liberals that go on social media. i just hate it because an opinion is not a thing, if i say anything like Trump 2020 i will get verbally abused by a bunch of liberals about how trump is bad, but they wont know if hes good or bad because they only say Trump bad because they heard it from someone else, i only go on things like reddit, in there i can somewhat have an opinion and not get verbally assaulted and hated by the majority, OH YEAH, i also hate social media because all its for is spreading the message of how good your life is going and how much better your life is than others'

Keny Martinez

As of right now, I would say school kind of kills my creative spirit. I think this because all we really do is watch videos/go on zooms, try to learn and do homework. That's been a routine since the start of this year. And since there is rarely any fun or excitement, we can't really be creative, because when you're excited or having fun, that creativity in us is also activated. but sadly everything is more limited than before all due to being in a pandemic and because it's hard to fit in fun into our learning when there is always some type of technical difficulties, or just any type of problem in general when trying to include the learning in the first place.

I don't live an Insta-lie. Although i use social media a decent amount every day, I'm never untruthful or putting on a persona for others.

Im not living an insta lie because i dont do things to impress other people.

Keny Martinez

2020-11-24 17:27:47 UTC

I am not living in an insta lie, matter a fact, I don't really use social media as much due to the fact I don't really communicate with anybody on there and because at times it could be unhealthy so I decided to reduce my time on there. The reason I think it can sometimes be unhealthy is because there is drama on there, it can negatively affect your self esteem since people have adapted and slowly promoted to standards that shouldn't be standards in the first place, and because when you're too much time on it that's basically the only thing you pay attention to which is why in person interaction could be reduced in your life. So basically it can affect your mental health and your life in general.

I'm proud to say I am not living and insta lie because I do not use social media often. I use to be a big fan of using it everyday though for hours, however i had come to realize that it is very toxic and if i do post something it's usually to spread awareness or to help someone.

Right now, school is killing my creative spirit. With all this pandemic stuff and learning remote, it limits my creativity greatly as supposed to in school learning.

Kimberly Moran

Well as of now not really just sometimes because doing online school can be stressful and you don't have motivation or to even be creative due to being overwhelmed.

Laughter is a powerful force because they think it's funny and they laughed at for no reasons to make themselves feel good and forget their bad times. Sometimes, they laughed at for reasons because they have funny brains. We all do have funny brains, and we laughed because that what we do as human beings.

Amauri Morales

2020-12-02 15:55:45 UTC

Laughter is such a powerful force, because laughter can bring you joy, can relieve your stress, and can even draw people together with its contagiousness.

Joel Blackburn

2020-12-02 16:19:03 UTC

Laughter is such a powerful force because it can be used for a multitude of things for example, it can be used when you want to laugh, when you want to get rid of pain, and when you just want to ignore something

Brissia Lopez

2020-12-02 16:46:51 UTC

Laughter is such a powerful force because it's contagious. Especially a genuine laugh. If someone we care about or someone we love starts laughing, it makes us happy and it makes us feel good inside. Especially, if we were the cause of the laugh.

Andy Mei

Nyla Phillips

2020-12-02 21:10:39 UTC

Technically speaking school limits the amount of creativity you can share or do. They tell you to be creative but them shun out some good ideas and thoughts, so no it doesnt inspire creativity it kills it.

Nikita Frizyuk

Nikita Frizyuk

It helps and doesnt at the same time because if you see/hear someone had the same idea you might feel original and might struggle to think of something else and get demotivated

Laughing is a powerful force because it can reduce your stress hormones which in that case makes you calmer and forget everything that is going around you.

kimberlyg94 — 2020-12-03 14:54:00 UTC

Laughter is such a powerful force because it shows that something funny and u thought it was funny so u laugh but at the same time it can be bad cause u can force a laugh so u don't feel sad.

2020-12-03 17:40:44 UTC

Laughter is a powerful force because it makes us happy. Seeing our loved ones or the people we care about laughing also brings us joy.

Keny Martinez

2020-12-03 18:36:37 UTC

I think that laughter is such a powerful force because whether you're the one laughing or someone else is laughing, it brings the mood up. It's a way to spread positivity and lighten anybody's day.

Learn things to be different like more group work and hands on activity not just writing down notes

Cheyenne Nicholls

2020-12-03 22:16:51 UTC

I am undecided because your online self can be a character that you want to portray or just play to mess around or have fun or just see how it would be like to act as this character it could be like a mask it doesn’t have to be your true self because it’s not always your true self but some people might put their true self online because they feel if they did so in real life they would be judged but I don’t really feel that it is your true self all of the time

Cheyenne Nicholls

2020-12-03 22:18:56 UTC

When it says living arrows fired forward by their parents and always emotion I think this means that your parents have a plan for you that they set out on a path they want you to follow but they believe you have to follow it and you’re going to do whatever you have to do to keep on going following their plan always in motion but sometimes arrows don’t always stay in motion they eventually stop whether they hit something change their path they can’t always stay in motion like how their parents want they change and they stop

Cheyenne Nicholls

2020-12-03 22:27:04 UTC

I didn’t have any social media until my 13th birthday and that was Snapchat I don’t really go on social media I now have Instagram because I use the schools Instagram as an excuse to get it I don’t go on it post anything on it don’t look at it because I occupy my time with other things so I’m not sure if I’m able to answer the question

Cheyenne Nicholls

2020-12-03 22:28:15 UTC

Laughter is a powerful force because the ability to bring someone joy and happiness is a very great ability anybody can bring someone down and hurt them treat them like their nothing but not everybody can make someone laugh make you feel like you are something and lighten your mood this is where I laughter is a powerful force

Nadeen Masoud

2020-12-03 22:46:18 UTC

With my experience I think it means your parents try to make you the best person you can be. And you are half your parents. They raised you and tought you a lot. So you basically are fired foward by your parents because a part of them makes you who you are.

Nadeen Masoud

2020-12-03 22:49:05 UTC

I think school kills creative spirit because we really have to use our brain to get our work done and fun way to make school better and also its boring since we do a lot of work in school which it involve being creative and also schools kill creativity arguing that we don't grow into creativity we grow out of it.

AYESHA KHATUN

2020-12-04 02:19:44 UTC

I am not living in insta lie is because i don't really do anything there in insta or post anything about my life is because i don't want people to know what i am doing or what they are thinking about me. And once people know you they can make big problem out off you or can judge you and insta people think you living your life but thats what they think and people does not know what is really going throw when they are in off so i keep my insta off for now.

Laughter is a powerful force is because we get happy on certain things but sometime we force our self to smile or try to be happy or someone can make your day better with all the happiness in your life sometime it can be good day or dad day or sometime we laugh cause it was to funny when someone make silly face we stared to laugh a lot and can not breath for a moment

my online self is somewhat my true self, i behave quite similar online as i would in person, for example, comedy, speech, etc.

I disagree with that because I want to know people well to be friends

darioc19 — 2020-12-05 22:46:06 UTC

Laughter is a powerful force because it cheers people up when they are sad.

Brissia Lopez

2020-12-09 19:19:05 UTC

I think masks do allow some of us to fully be who we are because we feel safe in the fact that no one can judge us because no one can really see us. We can be free and we can be ourselves without fearing that we’re going to be made fun of or teased or judged. It’s complete anonymity and we feel safe knowing it’s going to stay like that.

Hadassah Sklar

hadassahs6 — 2020-12-09 22:06:08 UTC

The masks can hide your identity, so no one know who you are because it makes you feel safe. The masks do not show who you are because it cover your face but as a hero is who you are with the mask on. If you want to save the day, you can wear the mask to protect your identity because if people see your face will revenge you.

Daniel Francis

I think masks can be a good thing and a bad thing. We use mask s to fulfill our different roles we have in life. But we can also use it to hide our true selfs which is not good and we should always try to be who we are.

Eric Braxton

2020-12-11 13:44:14 UTC

Mask hide who we are because the mask hides our true emotions when we are wearing a mask you can never tell if they are happy or sad.

Keny Martinez

2020-12-11 17:05:14 UTC

I think that wearing a mask can mean both. It could either be to hide your identity because you simply want to hide it or you're not comfortable with who you are, or it could be a way to show who your inner self is, or something that help you express yourself. It all depends on the persons purpose or point they're trying to get across.

Andy Mei

2020-12-11 19:35:57 UTC

Masks allow us to fully be who we are. You can be your trueself while wearing a mask and no one would know your true identity. Also you could do anything you like and you wouldn't be criticize since your identity is hidden.

Abdula Mustafa

abdulam — 2020-12-11 23:10:19 UTC

I would say it does both because you can hide yourself if your uncomfortable or don't feel like you should show yourself but it can also allow us to be who we are by making us show our creativity and our ideas on the mask and customizing it.

Ayesha Khatun

2020-12-12 00:40:57 UTC

mask hide who we really are is because it does not show our face fully and it does not matter who we are and also mask hide who
we are is because a lot people does not recognize our face with mask but with out mask a lot f people know us.

hadassahs6 — 2020-12-16 16:09:24 UTC

Some people out there are easy to judge you for born this way or different from them which it was hard to define who you are from the others. They can't understand why can you be same as me, I don't want to be same as everyone else. Being different is who you are, and nobody can ever change who you are.

Brissia Lopez

2020-12-16 18:05:46 UTC

It's hard to define who we are because we're so afraid that we won't be seen as "normal" as others. We're scared to not be able to meet the standards that society has placed on us. Some find it easy, while others struggle because we live in a world where there are certain things you need to have or you won't be good enough.

Amauri Morales

2020-12-16 18:44:36 UTC

It's hard to define who we are, because we always hesitate when something about us is different, since we don't want to feel embarrassed/ashamed for being different.

Keny Martinez

2020-12-16 19:19:31 UTC

I think it's hard to define/not be ashamed of who we are because society has slowly throughout the years, made beauty standards or just standards in general of how you should act, look, etc. We've not only heard but unknowingly have learned what's "normal" and how stuff should be. We have observed what society has called "pretty" or "ugly". And because of that we fear to be judged and not accepted. Nowadays people don't usually do physical or internal changes because they want to and because they want to improve for THEIR own good, but they change themselves because they've slowly been pushed to do changes to be "accepted", "pretty" or "normal.

nicole tsokolova

2020-12-18 01:31:34 UTC

It may be hard to define who we are because most people have mixed personalities. Also some people may have been judged and lost themselves on the way, so it would take some time to find themselves again meaning bring back their confidence and everything else.

Sierra Lee

2020-12-18 15:25:51 UTC

It’s so hard to define who we are because of the society. Yes, I’m gonna blame it on the society because the society plays a major role in our identity. I mean, not all of us find it hard to define ourselves but the majority of us. Some of us think that we have to be someone who fits the society standards in order to be liked & favored. It’s a very very complicated task in order to find out your true identity. Some of us are so caught up in this “I have to do things in order to be accepted by people” mindset. We care about others opinions which is truly sad because it’s okay to be different. We need to start normalizing that.

Sierra Lee

2020-12-18 15:30:44 UTC

This is a really good question. I would have to agree with Yulessa & Brittany ... it all depends on the person & their standards. Why does this person want to wear a mask & how is it benefiting them? There’s at least multiple groups here. On one hand we have the people who would do anything possible to hide their identity, probably because they’re terrified of the society & what they would think. Then we have the people who hides who they really are because they want Revenge, payback or just to torture people for fun which in fact isn’t. Don’t forget the fact that some people love their true identity so I think In that case they wouldn’t try to cover up who they truly are. I could go more in depth but let’s go no further. In conclusion, Yes. I would say mask do hide who we really are but it doesn’t matter if we have a actual mask or not. It could be makeup for a cover up or just putting on an act.

Takoda Nestor

2020-12-18 16:39:48 UTC

It is so hard to define who we are because of ourselves and the people around us. We can be limiting ourselves because we can look at the people around us and conform to them instead trying to find our best selves and trying to define ourselvs.

AYESHA KHATUN

2020-12-18 18:07:31 UTC

Is it so hard to define who we are just because we born different does not mean people have to judge us
how we look sometime it can be hard is because someone can look better or dress up better and you don't it can be hard but just because we've lost way doesn't mean that we are lost forever. In the end, it's not the failures that define us so much as how we respond.

Andy Mei

2020-12-19 00:37:03 UTC

It's hard to define who we are because we to stand out and to be judged by others. We always try to similar to the people around us.

Abdula Mustafa

2020-12-19 04:11:22 UTC

It's hard to define who we are because a lot of people like to judge people on how they look and they bring down people who they don't agree with, so it's difficult to fully express yourself without being judged because there's always someone out there who doesn't agree with you.

Cheyenne Nicholls

2020-12-20 13:56:15 UTC

For prompt 2, I agree what Du Bois's thoughts about black identity in the US because it good to use the code switch to make themselves feel good at their own space to express their feelings to other people of color. It helps them to be proud of being black in America. When you use code switch as person of color, the other person of color can freely express, or communicate you in different way compared to white people.

Abdula Mustafa

2020-12-21 13:40:46 UTC

What it means to be black in America is to always be vigilant and aware because you never know what might happen especially with how society is recently. It also means to be black is to persevere and always keep in mind what you want so you won't let other people sway your thinking and change who you are as a person.

Brissia Lopez

2020-12-21 17:40:51 UTC

What it means to be Black in America is to always be aware and secluded in public places. You can't do something that could potentially threaten anyone around you.

Takoda Nestor

2020-12-21 18:50:31 UTC

To be Black in America you have to be aware of your surroundings and be very cautious. As a black person myself it can be difficult sometimes and scary because of the unjust things that happen in America but you just have to grit your teeth and move forward. Or nothing is gonna change.

TO be Black in America In his thought Who's Afraid of Post-Blackness What It Means to Be Black Now, Toured says in this age of Obama, the United States is in a “post-Black” where racial attitudes are more nuanced than ever before

I've experienced the "two-ness" in America in multiple ways. I've noticed that if I were to be surrounded by Hispanics or BIPOC, I'd be more comfortable than if I were surrounded by white people. I'd have to change my tone, how I act, the wording I use and I'd feel just so alone and as an outcast. I've noticed that I do this when I go out. Outside my family, I'm a polite and shy girl. Between me and my family, I'm a very loud, very talkative person. It's weird thinking about it now.

I can't really known what being black in America means because I'm not black but I can surely say that based on what I've seen and learned, I know being black in America is extremely hard. You have to always be aware of what you do or say. You have to make yourself feel safe because the people that should be making you feel safe, target and see black people as a threat just because their black. Being black is hard because as a kid you have to worry about being safe instead of worrying about watching your favorite show on time. You have to worry about knowing your rights instead of worrying about your toys. You have to worry about ever being targeted by authorities instead of worrying if you're going to finish your homework on time. You always have to at least have 1 eye awake and be aware of your surroundings.

I really don't know what is was like to be black in America because I'm not black.To be black in America, there are so many challenges you have to face in America. Make sure to know your rights, your rights and your health is the main priority. It very very important to not take away your rights from all of these horrible event such as oppression, etc. You have to be careful and be aware of your surrounding. You always keep fighting to make sure that all of the voices are heard including you. You are beautiful, smart and fearless no matter what skin color you born with.

To be black in America you constantly need to be aware because how society works now is very unfair, and can cause issues and lots of chaos.

The phrase "To protect and to serve" your community means to me is the police's job is to make sure your place and your communities is safe. For serve, they come to check every place to make sure it is safe and help to solve any issues that the people are having right now like abuse, etc.

Brissia Lopez

2021-01-07 14:07:35 UTC

"To Protect and To Serve", to me, means you put the people's interest above your own. The police are sworn to help us and protect us whenever we need help and that means putting all personal interests behind and saving the lives of people in the community. However, we all know that is not what goes through some police officer's mind.

Joshua Clarke

Sierra lee

2021-01-07 20:07:33 UTC

What I personally think “being black in America” means is to get treated differently then others, being excluded out of certain things. Having to go through a certain struggle that others don’t normally go through. I know we all go through our trials but I think black people have been going through most things than all and everything Kinda started with us. Being black in American is to be prepared for the challenging theses that might come our way. Being black in America means constantly being targeted for no reason ... being hated on.

I am undecided with this statement because some people put on a facade to hide who they really are & this could have something to do with low self esteem or low self confidence, it could be a way to cope with how they feel. On

Anyways, I’ve noticed how I could use a certain slang when I’m around people of color or around black folks but when I’m not I speak so fluently and professional. For example, If I’m talking to a teacher who isn’t like me I’ll probably talk really professional.

Nothing challenged or changed what I knew. However, that did confirmed that people, no matter what, will do whatever it takes for them to get what they want even if they know what they’re doing is immorally wrong. The storm of the Capitol also showed that most Trump Supporters will only ever “back the blue” or say “all lives matter” when it’s against a BLM movement or anything similar. You can clearly hear all of them disrespecting the police. These were the same people who swore that they would always be for cops. It’s honestly disgusting and aggravating.

I still and will remain feeling shocked, frustrated and very upset over the events that took place on January 6th, in the U.S capitol. The damage done and encouraged by trump and done by his supporters is irreparable. They deserve to face the consequences of their actions. It was uncalled for. And to call it a revolution? What kind of revolution is that? It's no where near a revolution. To be childish and disrespectful enough because a person who doesn't deserve to be president for another 4 years lost? It's unbelievable how a lot of peaceful BLM protests were paid back with violence because they were protesting for THEIR LIVES, because THEY FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THIS COUNTRY, while in the other hand and in comparison to the event that took place on January 6th, the people who stormed the U.S capitol almost looked like they were welcomed into the building and welcomed outside the building after all the rioting, disaster they caused. I think we can all surely agree and see how this is all unfair.

Being Pro-Black is not the same as being Anti-White because you can like something without hating on another thing. So basically you don't have to hate white people just to like black people, you can like both at the same time just like one more then the other. Also Pro means like and Anti means against so saying Anti-White means you're generalizing all white people and you're against all of them.

Some of them literally said that they would rather die than to accept that Biden is president like what? Oh and don’t even get me started on the security that was in that capital building. They literally let them him , decided that they wanted to take pictures with them and all . What happened on January 6 was just unfair. We all saw white privilege at its finest because if it was a POC they would have been pushed to the ground, shot before they could have gotten into the building and like I’ve said before, I don’t normally get angry at such things like this because I just play cool and just shake my head but what happened on the 6 really got to me.

I would respond saying that this type of violence IS America. The reason it's seen as "un-American" is because the history of this country is not shown nor taught. However, if you really research, you'll see that this isn't first time anything similar to the Capitol attack has happened. That's the way we are. We use violence to get what we want and then we sugar-coat it. This type of violence is perfectly American, according to our past.

Keny Martinez

2021-01-14 21:09:05 UTC

The way I would respond to someone who says "This type of violence is not America"". Well, you're completely wrong. This is the same America we all saw enslave African Americans. This is the same America that experienced events such as the Wilmington Massacre of 1898. This is the same America that has made people feel unsafe because of their skin color, race, religion, ethnicity and etc. This is the same violent and ruthless America there was years ago, decades ago, centuries ago. This is not different. That it's now a silent and more subtle violent, racist and unfair America compared to decades ago is probably the only difference here.

it is hard to define who you are sometimes becuase you may not know or notice many qualities traits or personalities about your ownself or yu may just start to begin to find out who you are truly as a person. It may not be so simple because maybe you dont ant to reveal some qualities about yourself.In the end your actions will honestly speak much louder then what you say, so they would see for themselves.

No being pro blac is not the same as being anti white because appreciating your culture root and apeaking up for your cultures does not automatically equate to you being prejudice against white people.Simply uplifting one another and bringing problems like inequality, systemic rasicm and much more to the serface does not come at any other race at all. You are standing up for the rights and equality for black people, so there is not reason the to should be related just because the spotlight is not always on white people does not mean someone is trying to be against them or spew hate.People with that mindset need to have self correction and stop making everything about them.Rasicm and inequality in any form should not be normalized but because people are bringing light to the fact that this is not normal and begins to break the cycle somehow it is "anti-white" th that doesnt make anysense.Then commonly want to hit people with the reverse card like yes pro white is anti black because what inequality do you face or what type of rasicm or oppression you faced.Nothing of a sort.i rest my case

To be black in America it means that you have to always be more careful and you are always worrying. Because it’s the sad truth but when you are black in America you can get killed for holding an Arizona bottle and a sandwich and it can get “mistaken” As a gun. You can be as innocent as a baby and you could still get killed. Because of the color of your skin.

2021-01-15 18:39:35 UTC

The phrase “to protect and to serve” your community means to me that cops are supposed to do their duty and stand up for this community and make us feel safe. And protect us. But they don’t stand up to that word. They make us feel scared and uneasy. They only make white people feel safe and that’s the truth.

Nadeen Masoud

2021-01-15 19:50:21 UTC

From what I learned, nothing changed over the centuries. All POC is still fighting for their rights and want to be treated fairly same as white people does. That event just happened in U.S. capital is similar to what happen in 1898 Wilmington massacre. It truly hurt my heart when I heard and watch it. It like upsetting me. Never happen again and we need to change it so there is no more hate toward people of color, religion, etc.

Hadassah Sklar

2021-01-16 00:05:25 UTC

If someone just said “This is not America”. My respond to this comment “Just read it again then come back with different answer and explain what is this history about.. something that is related to civil war or civil rights movement.” This is still America because everything from centuries to right now, nothing changed. The reasons are the hate crime still exist such racist cops, hate signs like nazi on Jewish graves, racist toward to Asian community, etc. So many hate crimes we all experienced. I do not like white rage because they are uneducated, so disgusting plus I do not want to hear that word. White rage are similar to white supremacy. White rage is a violence of a white person who abused other people power. For example, when a normal white person see Jewish people, gay people, people of color, people with disabilities, people with different background such as religion, race, sexuality, ethnicity, etc. That white person would just screamed and calling slurs at you and beat and kill you up for born this way like nazi and white supremacy. That what it triggers them, got it? Never again for the Jewish holocaust. Millions of Jewish people died from Holocaust in concentration camps because of their religion. Black people was enslaved because of their skin color. People with disabilities got killed for born this way from nazi. So many hate in one holocaust. Please educated yourself to be taught to love, not hate. And don’t judge by their appearance by Martin Luther king JR his dreams. No place for hate, learn to respect and love to one another.

Hadassah Sklar

2021-01-16 03:52:22 UTC

Unamerica means something new that happen in the world will remain in the history. For example, white people choked and kill their white disabilities students or something that was so disturbing to people who never heard this. This is America means nothing had been changed in the history for centuries such as racism, hate crimes, etc. For example, people of color are still fighting for their rights to end police brutality, etc but they treated differently in last summer during BLM protest compared to white ppl during the attack at the U.S. capital because of how the policing system are designed to. So for example, during the attack of U.S. capital the police let all these trump supporters in because they are white. There is no violence during the attack of the U.S. capital between the police and trump supports. Compared to BLM protest during the summer, there is violence between polices and BLM protesters because of their skin color . It so disgusting and disappointed. I wish there is violence between the police and trump suppporters during the day of the attack at U.S. capital like I wish police dress up as soldiers like heavily armed to trump supporters same thing to what happen during BLM protest because it would be fair if they would do that to trump supporters. And the policing system can be equal to all race if they can change the policing system, not just one race like black people but it should be included white people and all of race. To be treated fairly.
