In English class, I created a future life chart to imagine life after high school and wrote the following essay in reflection: Throughout the course of this project, it has become increasingly apparent to me that living is expensive.

[AP Research] Strategies & Scenarios
[post three] One strategy that I used during class to manage my time wisely and finish a task/goal was to set twenty minute timers and fully focus on working for those minutes.

Bills: The Long Path To Law
To demonstrate the long and winding road that bills must travel to become a law, I parodied a monopoly game board. Bills start as ideas that eventually gain enough support to be discussed on the floor of both the Senate and the House. Depending on if the two houses vote ay or nay, the bill […]

Voyage Imaginaire

Francophone means French-speaking, so a Francophone country is one that has French as one of its official languages. I chose Luxembourg, a tiny country in Europe that borders with France, […]
